Overview
HISTORY MEETS ICONIC EATS AND STYLISH BOUTIQUES
Tucked off the beaten path between SoHo and Little Italy, NoLita (“North of Little Italy”) is where old-school NY charm meets modern downtown cool. As we stroll through the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets, your expert guide will serve up insider stories, hidden landmarks, the rich immigrant history, and the delicious hidden gems that we love, making this one of the most diverse food experiences in the city.
