Nolita is yet another NYC acronym, referring to the area that is north of little italy. This is arguably one of the hippest neighborhoods in NYC. It is smack dab in the center of downtown and borders Soho, Noho, LES, and the East Village. The restaurants here serve up extremely high quality/delicious food without being stuffy establishments. The wait times are sometimes long to eat in Nolita, but I've included some tips and tricks that should ensure you have the best dining experience possible. Don't have a reservation, no problem - this guide is for you! My guide includes all day cafes, fast grab n' go options, and some phenomenal sit down restaurants spanning cuisines from italian, australian, thai, cuban, mexican, and a handful of different mediterranean cusines. Great for budgets ranging from $-$$$. Purchase of the guide includes an amazing interactive map that captures all these specifics and more!

When you think of Soho in NYC you most likely think about shopping, which is definitely its claim to fame. But you also need to refuel with coffee, some sweets, or even a full on meal. Soho borders Nolita (its cooler younger sister), Greenwich Village (hip, students, and a bit edgy), and West Village (classic NY charm). While there are not many restaurants in Soho to begin with, there are some great options that do not require reservations. I've also included my favorite coffee shops and pit stops for sweet treats.
