Beneath the Manhattan Bridge is a charming spit of land known simply as Mechanics Alley.  With the buzzing clamor of traffic and subway trains high above, this narrow passage is bookended by Madison Street on the south and Henry Street on the north; however, the alley continues unmarked until its termination at Monroe Street.
