Astor Place is a one-block street in NoHo/East Village, in the lower part of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs from Broadway in the west (just below East 8th Street) to Lafayette Street. The street encompasses two plazas at the intersection with Cooper Square, Lafayette Street, Fourth Avenue, and Eighth Street – Alamo Plaza and Astor Place Station Plaza. "Astor Place" is also sometimes used for the neighborhood around the street.[1] It was named for John Jacob Astor (at one time the richest person in the United States), soon after his death in 1848.[2] A $21 million reconstruction to implement a redesign of Astor Place[3] began in 2013 and was completed in 2016.[4]
