Overview

Soho and Nolita are Manhattan's shopping playground. Within its brick and cobblestone radius stand luxury fashion houses, fast casual retailers and home decor boutiques. I've curated my favorite shops and cafes in the area to make for the perfect day of retail therapy, gift shopping and people watching. Regardless of your tastes and preferences, I guarantee you'll enjoy the artisanal storefronts, bespoke goods and local character. We'll end our walk at one of my favorite places to grab a bite.
