Doyers Street is a street in Chinatown, New York. It is often called the Bloody Angle due to its violent history. Doyers Street is a street with a sharp corner (hence the name) and departs from Bowery just below Canal Street.
Doyers Street witnessed a remarkable number of shootings among the Tong Gangs of Chinatown between 1870 and 1930. The street was ideal for street battles not just because of its angle but also because of the tunnels that connected the buildings.
