What I Like Most About It:
Nolita (“North of Little Italy”) and Noho (“North of Houston”) are both tiny pockets of downtown hipness. In each neighborhood, there are fantastic indie shops on every corner. The large number of wonderful restaurants, cafes and bars makes both areas fantastic picks for a night out with friends. But the active nightlife doesn’t at all derail from each neighborhoods’ very chill vibes. You’re also just a hop, skip and a jump away from other amazing downtown neighborhoods like Soho, the East Village and Greenwich Village.
