The street, essentially an old cart path, is named for Hendrick Doyer, who ran a distillery here in the 1800’s. It’s very narrow, and feels removed from the intense hustle and bustle of the heart of Chinatown. The site of numerous gang street battles and murders. An alleged network of tunnels connecting several buildings also made for easy getaways.
