First artists' neighbourhoods, now full of boutique shops or haute-couture boutiques: this is a walhalla for fashionistas.
If you're looking for hip luxury, this is the place to be. SoHo, formerly known for its grand lofts and arty galleries, is now the mecca for any fashion lover with a lot to spend. You'll find everything from hip fashion brands to avant-garde art and vintage. When you're done shopping, walk on over to NoLita (North of Little Italy). Although the majority of Americans of Italian descent have left here, you can still eat the tastiest spaghetti and meatballs. Afterwards, you can admire Tribeca's industrial buildings.
