Manhattan, NYC Neighborhood Information: Noho / Nolita
Boundaries: NoHo is roughly bounded by Houston Street on
the south, the Bowery and Third Avenue on the east, 8th Street on
the north, and Broadway on the west. NoLita is south of NoHo,
bounded on the north by Houston Street, on the east by the Bowery,
on the south roughly by Broome Street, and on the west roughly by
Lafayette Street.
Borders: SoHo, Lower East Side, Little Italy, Chinatown
Subway stops: 6 to Astor Place or Bleeker Street for NoHo;
F to 2nd Ave. or J or M to Bowery for NoLita
Noho-Nolita is becoming a Tribeca-Soho, but with fewer tourists.
There are also a handful of new high-end luxury buildings. At 57
Bond, on the corner of the Bowery, for example, a
1,700-square-foot penthouse goes for a couple million dollars
NoHo is blocked between Greenwich Village, west of Broadway, and
the East Village. When Lafayette Street was opened in the 1820s,
it was one of the most fashionable streets in New York: the only
survivor of that era is half of the original Colonnade Row, 1833,
perhaps designed by Alexander Jackson Davis for speculative
builder Seth Geer. Across from it is the Public Theater. When it
was a light manufacturing and warehouse district, Robert
Mapplethorpe's loft was in NoHo.
In the second half of the 1990s (the dotcom boom), the
neighborhood saw an influx of young urban professionals and an
explosion of expensive retail boutiques, luxury apartments, and trendy restaurants and
bars. Having previously tried unsuccessfully to pitch the
neighborhood as part of SoHo, real estate promoters and others
came up with several different suggested names for this newly
upscale neighborhood. The name that stuck was Nolita, an
abbreviation for North of Little Italy (or NoHo). This name follows the
pattern started by SoHo (South of Houston Street) and later
followed by TriBeCa (Triangle Below Canal Street) and others.
