Ranked 1st best street in Little Italy
"The SoHo street to live on"
- Uraniumfish
Maybe because it's sandwiched between major thoroughfares Broadway and Lafayette, Crosby Street doesn't have quite as many shops as the surrounding SoHo streets. In fact, it serves as a kind of back l...
Ranked 2nd best street in Little Italy
"All the beautiful people at Sunday brunch"
- Uraniumfish
West Houston is an IT street, so if you are new to New York, please do be sure to pronounce it correctly, not like Houston in Dallas. It divides SoHo from NoHo (aka South of Houston and North of Houst...

"Cute but expensive"
- JenMac
Prince traverses a lot of neighborhoods for a couple of blocks -- they change so quickly downtown even locals argue over where one neighborhood ends and one begins. Prince, technically, runs through...

"Little Little Italy is now "Nolita""
- AmazonGirl
Elizabeth Street, formally a quiet little compliment to Little Italy, is now known as "Nolita," absolutely one of the hottest shopping strips in the area. Scattered all along Elizabeth Street, are an...
Ranked 5th best street in Little Italy
"Little fun block"
- JenMac
Cleveland Place is a tiny run of a street that starts at Lafayette and turns into Centre a couple of blocks later. There's a cute little park right at Lafayette -- parks are few and far between in th...

"A living piece of art"
- ajr67
Wow, the exterior of the Art and Architecture building in Kenmare Street is an amazing work of it. Parts of the exterior wall has panels that are on pivots meaning they can open up and turn around, op...

"Quiet snippet"
- Uraniumfish
A street only a block long isn't much fodder for a review, but that may just be the point with this one. The area surrounding it is walkable and beautiful and full of spots you want to linger and look...
Ranked 8th best street in Little Italy
"A mix of a lot of neighborhoods"
- JenMac
Hester is a tricky street because once you go south of Broome, Little Italy and Chinatown start to blend into one another and Chinatown is starting to win that battle. The aesthetic and energy is rea...

"Really lovely block with not a lot of space"
- JenMac
I consider this little block of street to be Nolita, and I suspect most people do as well, but if the actual grid says it's Little Italy, then perhaps we're wrong. This is a fantastic area but wildly...
"Small area but lots of cool stuff"
- JenMac
The Spring Street has iffy boundaries in regards to when Soho ends and Nolita begins. I usually mark just after Lafayette but sort of in the middle of the block. In my opinion, that's where the neig...
"Kind of dirty and finding its way"
- JenMac
Grand is the de facto border between Little Italy and Chinatown and this street is where you see a lot of drastic changes between the neighborhood energy. This shift can be seen right at the outside...
"A mix of a lot of neighborhoods bleeds onto Broome"
- JenMac
Broome is a pretty jamming little street in Little Italy because of all of the run off of Soho and the Bowery. A lot of neighborhoods collide right here so the Little Italy energy isn't too apparent...
"Darling street with a lot to do"
- JenMac
Mott is one of the Little Italy streets of Little Italy. It has a ton of Italian restaurants, a ton of Italians and a ton of tourists. Despite the massive amounts of people, though, I like Mott stre...
"Nothing noteworthy"
- JenMac
There's really not much to report as far as Centre is concerned. There are some really cool, old buildings. But, there's not much to do or see. And, the street isn't exactly charming to look it....
"A little, uneventful street"
- JenMac
Baxter Street is a little run of a street that doesn't have quite the cache of other streets in the neighborhood. There aren't really any Italian restaurants (or any restaurants for that matter) and...
"A very south Soho street"
- JenMac
I consider Howard to be more in the Soho / Chinatown area than Little Italy and that's reflected in the energy of the street. There are a lot of big cast-iron buildings that dominate the Soho neighbo...
"Italy revisited"
- JenMac
Mulberry Street is one of the main streets through Little Italy. It's the street that both the St. Anthony and San Gennarro festivals are held every year. Tourists love these festivals and Mulberry...
