The out-loud trendiness of surrounding areas Soho, Nolita, and the Lower East Side manages to keep out of this historic Lower Manhattan neighborhood. Perfect for lovers of gluten and dairy, the neighborhood offers classic culinary delights like Forlini’s, Di Fara, and Lombardi’s, and hosts the annual week-long Feast of San Gennaro (11 days of eating and free entertainment). A quick walk down the Little Italy section of Mulberry Street will give you a menu of dining options, both rustic and modern. Come for the indulgent cuisine, stay for the cozy atmosphere and downtown lifestyle.
