Things to do in SoHo, Little Italy & Chinatown

Three adjoining but distinct neighbourhoods sit south of Houston Street, and they reward walking north to south (or the reverse) rather than treating them as one district. 875% sales tax added at the register. Little Italy has shrunk to a few blocks centred on Mulberry Street, largely absorbed by the Chinatown that surrounds it on most sides.

Chinatown itself, around the Canal Street station, is the largest and busiest of the three, with dense produce markets and restaurant rows where a 18-20% tip is expected on the pre-tax bill.
