Henry Street is a street in the Lower East Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan that runs one-way eastbound, except for a small two-way segment west of Pike Street. It spans from Oliver Street in the west (locally called "south" because it is towards downtown), passing underneath the Manhattan Bridge and on to Grand Street in the east ("north"). The street is named for Henry Rutgers, a hero of the American Revolutionary War and prominent philanthropist. Rutgers Street, which intersects with Henry Street, is also named for him.
The poor condition of immigrants living in squalid tenements on Henry Street and the surrounding neighborhood in the late 19th century prompted nurses Lillian Wald and Mary Maud Brewster to found the Henry Street Settlement in 1893. In recent times, Henry Street continues to be an immigrant neighborhood and has been absorbed into an expanding Chinatown.
In recognition of Henry Street's multicultural history, the Henry Street School for International Studies opened in 2004 at 220 Henry Street. The Henry Street School lower school (grades 6–8) welcomes a diverse group of students from the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. The school is one of the New York City Department of Education's small schools and is supported by the Asia Society and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Henry Street (18 April 1863 — 12 March 1953) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire in 1887.
Street was born in Riddings, Derbyshire, the son of Henry Street, a coal miner, and his wife Ann. In 1881 he was living with his parents at Alfreton where he was also a coal miner. Street made his first class debut for Derbyshire in the 1887 season in July against Lancashire when he ended the game at 15 not out. In his second match against Yorkshire he made 9. He played no more first class matches, but took part in a miscellaneous game against Essex. Street was a right hand batsman and played three innings in two first class matches, with an average of 8 and a top score of 15 not out.
Street died at Riddings at the age of 89.

Brighter tonight than the White House.
