Canal Street is a widely used name, primarily identifying streets and places across both the United Kingdom and the United States. In the U.S., it notably refers to major thoroughfares in Manhattan, New York City, and New Orleans, Louisiana, as well as a street in Buffalo, New York, marking the historic western terminus of the Erie Canal. New York City's Canal Street is particularly significant, encompassing a vast subway complex with seven different station names serving numerous subway lines. The name also appears in the UK, with notable examples in Manchester and Oxford, England. Beyond geography, "Canal Street" has inspired a film, a jazz and blues festival in Norway, and even songs, including A$AP Rocky's 2015 track and a forthcoming 2025 release by Sombr. This diverse usage underscores its recognition across various cultural and geographical contexts.
