Bond Street epitomizes downtown Manhattan culture A hodgepodge of designer boutiques, indie film studios, one-room art galleries, antique shops and trendy restaurants line the tiny cobblestone street. Part of the ever-growing "NoHo" (NOrth of HOuston) neighborhood, Bond Street stands apart, like a tiny oasis, from the overcrowded strip-mall lower Broadway has become. Its brick-and-marble-trimmed row houses, quirky residential lofts and hard-edged modern storefronts team with signs of well-to-do living. Witness the influx of black-clad trendies at Bond St. the neighborhood's eponymous outpost for sushi-with-a-scene. To supply NoHo’s über-consumers, high-end newcomers like the Ghost and Creed boutiques have opened, joining veterans like Daryl K and Katayone Adeli. Still, not all of Bond Street screams consumerism. A little corner of the artiste spirit remains at The Art Shop (supplies and classes), which provides the perfect cure for an afternoon of over consumption.
