Much like Tribeca, SoHo and NoHo, Nolita name comes from it's location-it
stands for North of Little Italy. This area was once a part of Little
Italy but as many Italians moved out of the neighborhood it's make-up
changed.
Nolita is has been thought of as the new Soho. Retailers who don't
want the higher rent in Soho have moved here. There are small indepent
stores aof all kinds including great bakeries, restaurants and other
food stores with strong Eurpean flavor and style. This has attracted
the creative community of actors, models, artists and those seeking
the trendy feel of Nolita.
The area's prices are relatively reasonable. You can expect to find
a studio apartment, although smallish in the $1,400 range.The trade
off is clearly space for convenient location. For the single person
or new arrival to New York City this is a great choice. It's not in
any way a family community. What you will find is blocks and blocks
of small interesting restaurants and other places to drink and meet
people.
