Welcome to Attorney Street on the lower east side of New York City. Attorney Street is a small, pugnacious street, forming the eastern border of the lower east side. It's southern border abutts the on/off ramp of the Williamburg Bridge at Delancey Street.

The best estimates of how this street became known as Attorney Street is that it was named for three attorneys who owned the land through which the street was laid.
