Good day, class. Today's subject is NoLIta (an abbreviation of "North of Little Italy") a neighborhood in Manhattan which, until fairly recently, was considered part of SoHo (the area south of Houston Street). Most of NoLIta is encompassed in the 10012 zip code.
NoLIta has a reputation for being a somewhat trendy spot for shoppers and foodies who wish to avoid the pomp and bustle of more "touristy" places. It's also a bit "arty" -- you're more likely to see film director Jim Jarmusch or musical artist Moby strolling around NoLIta than a Wall Street-type in a business suit. That being true, it is not overly crowded with independent art galleries the way SoHo and Chelsea are, nor does it boast a large and popular club scene like the Meatpacking District. In fact, NoLIta seems to have and do everything in moderation. It is, therefore, the perfect place to live for a certain young married couple working in fashion and advertising.
Usage example:
Your friend: "I'm really craving some chocolate bread pudding. Is that weird?"
You: "Ooh, I know this great restaurant in NoLIta that has an amazing bread pudding."
Your friend: "Okay, yeah, let's go to Lolita."
