"School Grounds and other Buildings"
One section of Clinton St. nearly Grand houses is a school. In fact, the only thing on this block is a school and parking lots. But if you go down toward E. Broadway, you get closer to a large department store and some small stores along with small industrial buildings.
This place is a mixture of good and bad. The place is semi-busy during the day, but when the kids get out of school, it becomes a mad house, so to speak.

Grand St
"An aptly titled street"
Anyone street cornering onto Broadway is going to have to fight for its fair share of recognition but the Soho flea market helps Grand Street be remembered. No matter what you want, and even if you just want to browse and interact with the locals, anything can be found here. If you want to capture the look of New York from Blondie to The Strokes then a beaten up leather jacket from Grand Street will have you looking authentic in no time at all.

"Lots of Coffee"
Grand Street offers a bit of relief from the uber-trendiness of the Lower East Side as seen above Delancey. It hosts some coffee shops and the standard hipster shops. On Grand Street you can virtually watch as the neighborhood morphs into a trendier imitation of itself. It’s a cool place to hang out, though – or to just take a stroll and do some people watching.
Grand St
"What a journey"
If a journey and a half home is your idea of a great commute than by all means cal Suffolk Street home, but overall it's your average residential street with a spinkling of small businesses to keep residents happy and there is nothing that really jumps out and attracts attention. What does attract attention is the journey it takes to get to Suffolk Street. Marred by the curse of the East side subways are few and far between making it difficult to get where you want to go or get home from where you've been.
Grand St
"Vibrant and unique"
Big buildings with great food and amazing little gems is pretty much Grand Street. Large and open it offers a really bright and vibrant feel. There are Bakeries along the road that are more than worth a visit and a dip into the old pocket. Overall grand street embodies a unique vibrant attitude that only New York can pull off.

"Boring, good for quiet residents"
Suffolk Street is pretty much empty of the activity apparent in the rest of the neighborhood. It features the general landscape you'd expect from the neighborhood, and it's a great quiet residential street in an otherwise bar/restaurant-rich area. Don't expect it to be too quiet, though. Drunken hipsters have been known to wander down any street in the neighborhood at 3am, while not using their indoor voices.

"Same old Suffolk"
One word does come to mind, which is bland. I don't think I would want to live here though..
The Village: what a sweet location! Lots of trees, walking and calm. Like something from a 1920s film on New York City Life, score by a jazz saxophone in a minor key. this street is mainly residential and houses people from all walks of life. Suffolk St is close to the following metro stations: 6 at Spring Street, F, J, M, Z at Essex St- Delancey St, and the J, M, Z at Bowery. It is also accessible to many buses. Foot traffic is moderate, and it is a good neighborhood for all people!

"Wouldn't wanna live here."
A slightly nicer street than other nearby ones, Suffolk Street still consists of the same dull brown buildings, most of which seem like they’re not being used. A fairly rough part of the city, sadly every city has to have these types of areas. It didn’t strike me as a place I wanted to stick around in.

"Grand Street is a NYC Classic for Coffee and Walks!"
I love Manhattan's Grand Street on the Lower East Side, on the edge of Little Italy. Not only does it have my favorite coffee shop in the world, it's a classic of New York Life, as it's been featured in so many movies and TV shows that it feels familiar every time you walk down the road. It's a terrific place to visit for a stroll to one of the great cafes, and with the subway station at Grand and Sixth, you can get to or from anywhere in minutes.
