The West Village























Manhattan is a city made up of small villages. When immigrants first came to the country they would seek out their own people and move into the same community. Each neighborhood had its unique language, religion and culture. The spirit of a city is about constant change: nothing stays the same. Today Manhattan neighborhoods are totally mixed and only a few ethnic pockets remain.

HOUSTON STREET






















Houston Street is the dividing line between SoHo to the south, and NoHo to the north.

Cast Iron District - the area is prized for its decorative cast iron architectural elements.

The Lower East Side



















The Lower East Side is one of the oldest neighborhoods in NYC. Home for newly arriving immigrants during the 20th century.
