Bowery
Once NYC's infamous skid row, now it's all luxury condos and boutique hotels. The New Museum stands out like a stack of silver gift boxes, while legendary music venue CBGB is... sadly a John Varvatos store. Still, you'll find some of the city's best restaurants here, plus remnants of its grittier past in the restaurant supply stores and lighting shops that somehow hang on. If you live here, you probably either make $200, or $200K / year.
