It’s Autumn in New York. It’s good to live it again. Vernon Duke
Jake and Kylie were in NYC for work, so we thought that we would join them for a long weekend. Arriving at our hotel in the late afternoon, we decided to go for a walk through Soho and adjacent Nolita. We passed by iconic restaurant Balthazar, which has been in the news recently after its owner banned late night television host, James Corden, from the restaurant after his abusive conduct toward some of some of its staff.
Since we were in Manhattan last, the city appears to have taken a liking for communal bikes, with bike stands sometimes taking up whole blocks.
For those not up for a bike ride there is always the subway with a station on what seems like most corners.
Or for the real desperate, you can always bring your car, although parking can be a problem.
Since we started coming to NYC years ago, Soho has become a completely different neighborhood with lots of high end retail chains. Neighboring Nolita is more like the old Soho, with quiet streets and parks and small independent boutiques.
Among the trendy boutiques a few of the old stores remain, including this classic old butcher.
