Ranked 1st best street in NoHo
"A beauty on its way to high-priced ruin"
- Uraniumfish
Something about Bond Street just strikes my eye the right way. Maybe I'm a sucker for cobblestoned streets and the distinctive industrial architecture you only see in SoHo, with that majestic iron det...
Ranked 2nd best street in NoHo
"Close to busy tourist area"
- KellyAnn
As the neighborhood gets closer and closer to Gramercy Park, you see less and less of the sort of businesses that populate the Lower East Side and lower end of the East Village. That may be a good th...
Ranked 3rd best street in NoHo
"Beautiful street with great townhouses"
- JenMac
There's a really interesting building on the corner of Irving and Gramercy Park South. It's a residence hall owned by the Salvation Army that is strictly for Women. It has become a haven house for a...
Ranked 4th best street in NoHo
"The crowd made the area. "
- andiefrancese
Several years ago the hipsters, artists and college students must have gotten together and decided to descend upon a neighborhood. They all seemed to agree upon Union Square. Lots of stores have come...
Ranked 5th best street in NoHo
"Great Street to live on if you like the city scene"
- JenMac
Named for John Jacob Astor (his palace was just down the street), Astor Place is a pretty high society little street even to this day. My sister lives at 1 Astor and her apartment is pretty sweet. T...
Ranked 6th best street in NoHo
"A parking alley"
- JenMac
Shinbone Alley, or Jones Alley, used to be one of the many Mews in Manhattan. Or, rather, a place where the horses were kept with servants quarters built above. It wasn't deemed proper for a lady or...

"Old and New"
- JenMac
Great Jones St is, to me, one of the quintessential New York blocks. It's technically 3rd Street, but turns into Great Jones for a few blocks and then back to third. And, for some reason, the Great...
"Cool little chunk of East 4th"
- JenMac
Aside from the area immediately surrounding Broadway, East 4th is a great street as it runs through Noho. It's pretty quiet for New York and though there aren't any bars or restaurants, it's so close...
"Not bad but not fantastic either"
- JenMac
11th isn't a bad street to live on in Noho by any means. But, there are an awful lot of people and trash for an area that doesn't have that much going on. I wouldn't say no to living here but it's n...
"Good for an avenue kind of street"
- JenMac
As far as big streets go, Lafayette isn't bad at all. It's way too busy to want to live on -- it's more like an avenue than a street. There's a lot going on here and there are people everywhere twen...
"Very commercial but really cool buildings"
- JenMac
Though the map shows Broadway to run through Noho much further north than Great Jones, I consider anything further north to Greenwich Village. Most New Yorkers argue about where one neighborhood ends...
"A Driveway . . .seriously"
- JenMac
This is actually one of those New York "map- only streets," meaning it doesn't actually exist. Where Stable Ct is supposed to be is actually the driveway that leads from the Village Voice to the Mer...
"Street built for a school"
- JenMac
Cooper Square is a rare piece of Manhattan Land that is always busy but never feels frenetic. Cooper Square runs around Cooper Union which is a gorgeous looking school founded by the Railroad magnate...
"Less crowded than the west side but still pretty insane"
- JenMac
Union Square has always been a big gathering spot, but now the gatherings are a little bit different. 250,000 people gathered here to support the Union in the Civil War, the Shirtwaist Factory Fire F...
"A lot going on and a lot of crazies"
- JenMac
East 8th, as it runs through Noho, is a really commercial street. There is a lot going on and a ton of people constantly milling through this area. It's a nice area and a desirable area, real estate...
"Not enough of anything for the price"
- JenMac
East 9th isn't much to write home about during its tenure in Noho. There are a lot of apartment buildings and a lot of businesses but none of them really have any charm. The area is just too busy an...
"Too much of an actual alley for my taste"
- JenMac
Great Jones Alley is one of the few alleys in lower Manhattan that's not actually a desirable address. Most of the alleys (especially in the West Village) are prime real estate due to the privacy and...
"Grace Church and a lot of traffic"
- JenMac
East 10th in this stretch has some amazing, old buildings and quite a bit of history for such a small area. There isn't a ton to do in the way of wining and dining, but it has some great things to se...
"Not charming or fun but not horrible"
- JenMac
This part of 12th isn't bad but I'm not a huge fan. It's very commercial and the buildings are all giant (few with character). It's really oppressive and not noteworthy in any way. It has a central...
