IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Freeman Alley runs off Rivington Street between Chrystie Street and the Bowery. At its end is Freemans, the American restaurant that opened in 2004. The tucked-away entrance makes the approach part of the visit.
PLANNING A VISIT
The alley and the restaurant are worth distinguishing when sharing directions: meeting on Rivington is different from having a table booked inside. For a meal, check Freemans’ current menu and reservations directly. Give arriving guests the full address so they know to look down the alley.
