East Houston Street is a street that runs parallel to Delancey Street, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The street can be considered as the border between Lower East Side and the East Village.

Among the sights along East Houston Street is the Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery, an establishment that has been there for the past 90 years. It is located between the intersections of East Houston Street with Forsyth Street and Eldridge Street.

The Sunshine Theater is also another landmark of East Houston Street. It was constructed in the 1840's, and looks like a Dutch Reformed Church. Over the ages, the theater has been the venue for everything from boxing to vaudeville, and today shows art films.

The Jewish flavor of Lower East Side is still apparent at Russ and Daughters, a store that sells smoked fish and herring. It has been around at this location since 1914.

Also still making a roaring business here, after one hundred years of existence, is Katz's Delicatessen, at the corner of East Houston Street with Ludlow Street. The deli sells pastrami and corned beef sandwiches.
