Nolita..

Nolita (north of Little Italy), is a neighborhood situated in the borough of Manhattan smashed between Little Italy, SoHo, NoHo and Lower East Side. It's Itallian character with 'social clubs' and several 'mafia' families are some of the reasons Nolita was long regarded as part of Little Italy. Despite it being a small neighbourhood, Nolita features boutiques set to rival it's confident neighbour SoHo with a variety of stores reflecting the easten feel that has recently become popular as well as quality second hand stores such as Resurrection. Eating in Nolita is also up there with the fashion as the neighorhood offers a giant range of food from Asian, Mexican, Italian and Cuban treats. Home to an array of celebrities (Vanessa Carlton grew up here), residents are seen to be young professionals with 'trendy' NYC jobs-fashion photographers, stylists and the like.
