Planning notes for New York
NoHo, a geographic designation for "North of Houston Street," is a Manhattan neighborhood bounded by Houston Street, the Bowery, Astor Place, and Broadway. Its development as an elite residential enclave began in the 1820s when John Jacob Astor established Lafayette Place. During this period, the area featured Federal and Greek Revival architecture, exemplified by Colonnade Row (1833), a series of marble-fronted residences. By the mid-19th century.

Local tips
- Walk with a sense of urgency and keep to the right side of the sidewalk to allow faster-moving locals to pass on your left.
- Always make dinner reservations in advance, as NoHo’s popular dining spots are small and fill up quickly even on weeknights.
- Standard tipping etiquette in restaurants is 20% of the total bill, as anything less is often considered a sign of poor service.
- Stay vigilant when walking along the Bowery at night and stick to well-lit, high-traffic streets like Lafayette or Broadway for better safety.
