NoHo (North of Houston Street) is a tiny yet dynamic neighborhood above the fast-paced SoHo and nestled between Greenwich Village and the East Village.
Revitalized during the 1960s and 70s, when famous artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol moved into its vast loft spaces, the 6 block radius that makes up NoHo is now populated with upscale bars, stylish and diverse restaurants, chic boutiques, trendy galleries, quaint cafes and live performance spaces.
The Public Theater is the birthplace of edgy and definitive pieces of work, such as the renowned musical Hamilton, while the adjoining Joe’s Pub hosts adventurous cabaret-style acts. The popular Blue Man Group got its start across the street at the Astor Place Theatre. The Hole is the epicenter for rising artists to present edgy exhibitions and thematic group exhibitions. Designer boutiques Atrium and Oak attract those looking for sleek, fashionable clothing, while vintage shops Screaming Mimi’s and Resurrection offer a more avant-garde style.
With an architectural flair ranging from 19th Century behemoths like the Great Hall of Cooper Union to sleek modern high rises and its laid back yet stimulating bohemian spirit, NoHo offers all the benefits of living downtown and a quick easy commute to other parts of the City.
