The Bloody Angle

Doyers Street

 

Once a part of the notoriously degraded Five Points neighborhood of the mid 1800's, In the late 19th and early 20th century, it furthered bolstered its bloody reputation through the street wars of the Chinatown Tong gangs.

Apparently some of the buildings along this street, and others, feature secret tunnels which allowed combatants to move in secret.
