⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC : NoLIta, Manhattan (North of Little Italy) (August 16, 2019)

A walk through most of the neighborhood of NoLIta in Lower Manhattan.

From Wikipedia:
"Nolita, sometimes written as NoLIta, and deriving from "North of Little Italy" is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Nolita is situated in Lower Manhattan, bounded on the north by Houston Street, on the east by the Bowery, on the south roughly by Broome Street, and on the west by Lafayette Street. It lies east of SoHo, south of NoHo, west of the Lower East Side, and north of Little Italy and Chinatown.

The neighborhood was long regarded as part of Little Italy, but has lost its recognizable Italian character in recent decades because of rapidly rising rents. The Feast of San Gennaro, dedicated to Saint Januarius ("pope of Naples"), is held in the neighborhood every year following Labor Day, on Mulberry Street between Houston and Grand Streets. The feast, as recreated on Elizabeth Street between Prince and Houston Streets, was featured in the film The Godfather Part II.

In the second half of the 1990s, the neighborhood saw an influx of yuppies and an explosion of expensive retail boutiques and trendy restaurants and bars. After previous unsuccessful tries to pitch the neighborhood as part of SoHo, real estate promoters and others came up with several different names for consideration of this newly upscale neighborhood. The name that stuck, as documented in an article on May 5, 1996 in the New York Times City Section debating various monikers for the newly trendy area, was Nolita, an abbreviation for North of Little Italy. This name follows the portmanteau pattern started by SoHo (South of Houston Street) and TriBeCa (Triangle Below Canal Street).

The neighborhood includes St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, at the intersection of Mulberry, Mott, and Prince Streets, which opened in 1815 and was rebuilt in 1868 after a fire. The cornerstone was laid on June 8, 1809. This building served as New York City's Roman Catholic cathedral until the new St. Patrick's Cathedral was opened on Fifth Avenue in Midtown in 1879. St. Patrick's Old Cathedral is now a parish church.

Since 2010, a Little Australia has emerged and is growing in Nolita."

I live on Long Island but rarely go to the city. You give a great perspective on things in and around the city! Keep up the great work!🔥

This is one of my favorite channels. It's like a real life walking simulator.

[jimdoyel]

AK - This was a good one. Good vibe on the streets, restaurants packed, people meeting up, etc. Was this a weekend? I used to get worried when you weren't narrating your videos, but like I said before, a lot of these areas really tell their own story, and sometimes it's O.K. to let that happen. Most times, people can figure it out. Thanks for the video. SoCal

I wish I live in Italy it looks like a beautiful place to lived, and the people in their own business, I like that attitude. Nice video. 👍😊😊

[jpprolensproductions]

Watching your Channel is a quick trip to NYC from my Laptop, nice.

[laurelharris]

Could you do a window shopping walk, please. Thanks.

Actionkid send my regard to that guy that said hello to viewers

at 14:10 an Italian says: "se scende non va bene?!?!"
translation: if it goes down is not good?!?!

REQUEST IF YOU CAN VISIT ARTHUR AVE IN THE BRONX THE LAST REAL LITTLE ITALY DONT FORGET LEAVE THE GUN AND GET THE CANNOLIS

[grammabeth]

I absolutely LOVE all your video's, well the ones I have been able to get caught up on. I only came across your channel a couple of months ago, and have binge watched quite a few, while keeping up with new ones. I have always wanted to visit New York, but it isn't looking as if that will ever happen. So instead I get to see it literally through your lens, and for that I Thank you. Awsome work, keep it up!!!! :)

[jurgenrathjen]

The clarity of the video is excellent. The beauty of a non-narrated video is that I feel i'm actually there, since you hear all the natural street sounds. I feel like its me holding the camera.

[spaceghost]

👍👍👍Very enjoyable walk, but I missed your narrative.
Sore throat? 😊

[moniaferrari]

From Italy,

[jeahavvalentin]

Funnily enough I was just there yesterday hanging out in Nolita and then went to Mulberry street and just had the best time of my life over there

[tyresew.]

I prefer this dose of reality more than reading

[tazbitter]

It doesn't feel right without the hello everyone!

[qso]

I've gotten into the routine of watching at least a couple of your videos every evening, so will be watching this one later. At any rate, I just wanted to post here and say that in the past few weeks since I discovered your channel, I've watched so many of your videos and have enjoyed them all, learning so much about NYC. You should be congratulated for what you are doing . . . you are providing an ongoing, personalized, in-depth virtual tour of one of the largest and most active and diverse cities in the world and all these videos are being preserved for the future and for anyone who can access them to learn more about NYC, and that's very cool. Honestly, NYC should be paying you for promoting the city and having so much knowledge that you are sharing with thousands of people daily. Keep up the good work! :)

[marcusperez]

Another one of my favorites. Why? Maybe because people are just doing their thing, getting on with their lives. I GUESS.
