Perched between two of New York’s busiest shopping arteries, Broadway and Lafayette, Crosby Street feels like a quiet oasis offering a sense of the bygone artistic SoHo. Only a couple of buildings away from Jean-Michel Basquiat’s old loft, this light-filled retail space merges the charm of a pre-war building with the sleek aesthetic of a modern showroom.

THE CROWD

Being part of New York’s top desired neighborhoods comes at a price so naturally, Crosby Street hosts a wealthier crowd. Most visits are driven by a clear objective, be it luxury residencies or designer boutiques. Accidental windowshoppers are rare. However, with its cobblestone roads and historic cast iron buildings, Crosby will attract the occasional “city guide” tourist, especially on the weekends when the whole area fills up. There is easy access from Prince and Spring Street stations.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

Next door you will find MZ Wallace selling sophisticated handbags and accessories, while on the other side artist Pamela Morgan lives and works from her appointment-only framing studio. The street also houses designer Rachel Comey’s rustic-industrial showroom and a cozy Italian shoe store, Superga. Recently finished 4-star Crosby Street Hotel guarantees a steady flow of luxury-seeking out-of- towners.
