Chinatown & Little Italy

Two inseparable and ever-changing neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan, Chinatown and Little Italy together are roughly bordered by Broome Street to the north, Allen Street to the east, Worth Street and East Broadway to the south, and Lafayette Street to the west. The boundary between Chinatown and Little Italy fluctuates frequently: Little Italy is now considered to consist almost entirely of a historic stretch of Mulberry Street, as Chinatown has taken over almost all of the area. Yet it is this constant dynamic that makes the area so fascinating and an interesting place to be.

Chinatown and Little Italy both exploded in population during the late 19th and early 20th centuries with successive waves of immigration from Asia and Southern Europe. Home to some of New York City’s most packed tenements at the time, the two areas were the most densely-populated neighborhoods in Manhattan. Some of this chaotic character still survives, with businesses lining both major street and tiny alleys, frequented by the crowds of people packed onto narrow sidewalks. This overcrowded feeling attracts tourists and locals alike, still bringing back the feeling of pre-war Downtown Manhattan.

For those who seek the constant energy and pulse of New York City, Chinatown and Little Italy may be the best place to live. With rents still lower than the Manhattan average, Chinatown and Little Italy are relatively affordable, but this is beginning to change as more people seek out coveted rental spots. The hundreds of restaurants with a wide range of cuisines, lack of chains in favor of local corner stores and food stalls, and constant change bring out the adventurous spirit in New Yorkers, and for these reasons Chinatown and Little Italy continue to grow faster than almost any other part of New York City.

Grand Machinery Exchange

Chinatown & Little Italy | 209 Hester Street

The Grand Machinery Exchange - NYC Apartments

Given this new Chinatown condo-conversion development’s unusual name, it’s not all that surprising to learn that the Grand Machinery Exchange at 209 Hester Street was indeed a machinery warehouse until 2006. Which is not to say that the stately pre-war building at 209 Hester Street isn’t full of surprises; despite looking very much at home on its historic Chinatown block, 209 Hester Street’s circa-1914 brick-and-cast-iron façade conceals 14 luxurious and very contemporary new condominiums for sale.
