My NOHO Top 5 List

I worked in the NYC neighborhood of NOHO for over 5 years. Just last week, while at my old office on Bleecker Street did I remembered how much I lovelovelove and miss all my old faves.

NOHO’s magic. It’s just tucked away enough not to be overrun by packs of tourists and has some amazing fashion, taste and culture to offer and a few cobblestone streets (nice to look at/slightly annoying while wearing fabulous shoes). Here’s my list of go-tos.

1. The Noho Star - SW Corner of Lafayette and Bleecker St. Must have lunch: grilled bavette steak salad. http://www.nohostar.com/

2.  Great Jones Spa - deep tissue massage and water lounge…pretty much, yeah.  http://gjspa.com/index.php

3. OAK - modern, fashion fix. check! http://www.oaknyc.com/ 

4. Bond No.9 - if you’re like me, you adore beauiful fragrance. Bond No.9 is an aromatic haven. Chinatown is my pick of the bunch here. http://www.bondno9.com/shop/eau-de-parfum/downtown/view/chinatown

5. Angelika Film Center - arthouse theater on NE corner of Houston and Mercer! http://angelikafilmcenter.com/angelika_index.asp?hID=1

FOUR EYES!

Moscot is the best for glasses (eye care is good too) in NYC - hands down. On “non-contacts” days, I wear the Nebb in Tortoise, which reminds me..I need to order them in Blonde for the spring.
