Nassau Street (Manhattan)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nassau Street is a street in lower Manhattan near Pace University and City Hall. It is one block east of Park Row which once housed many of the city's newspapers.
In the 1920's, Stamp Collecting became very popular and Nassau Street was the center of New York City's "Stamp District", with dozens of stamp and coin dealers along it's short length. With the decline of the hobby and the dispersal of most dealers due to the internet, it no longer holds this character.
Nassau Street was also the title of a book written in the 1960's that described the golden age of the stamp collecting industry.
