omg…SoHo is like a strip mall now. I can't even bear the thought of going there on a Sunday without having a bit of a panic attack. I go during the week sometimes to meet the hubs for lunch since he works down there and it's like a completely different neighborhood. You are so right about the LES…it used to be a bunch of small, cool places and now it's still cool but everyone knows about it…plus, there are so many wannabe hipsters down there…and sometimes it's SO dirty down there. It's kind of gross. I do love the little thrift shops and vintage stores down there though…
And I LOVE the west village but also on the weekends it sometimes looks like disney land with the lines around the corner for magnolia bakery. And please, I LOVE Marc Jacobs but how many MJ stores do we need down there?? They recently closed my favorite bookshop bc they couldn't afford the rent anymore:(

Oh God… I lived on the west side for a couple of years before moving to the East Village, but I swear the EV has changed dramatically in only the 5 years I've been here. 2nd Ave is like Little SoHo these days… very sad.

OMG darling, they missed out on one of the most notorious boroughs in all NYC that literally came up from the ashes, think deserted junk yards, burnt buildings, it looked like a bomb had been detonated there, THE BRONX! To be specific the south Bronx, I don't know if you are familiar with Grand Master Flash – the Jungle, that's exactly what it looked like when I grew up, my family had just moved to the states and it was the only affordable place in NYC. I'm always shocked everyone misses to mention it or maybe reporters are still scared to go there but from first experience I can tell you it has changed sooo much. I can't believe Parkchester and other places of great housing and new buildings came from an area that was almost burnt to the ground.

Much love always,
Glendy

I love this "overheard," accidentally listening in on others conversations is always entertaining!

And I'd vote for Williamsburg, since we moved north to Greenpoint four years ago, the Burg seems to have a new store/bar up every weekend when we walk up to shop.

OMG, I absolutely adore this post, Amy – especially the quotes about each location! Williamsburg is one of my favorite places in the world – so hipster yet cute at the very same time. And both Bleecker and Chelsea…j'adore! Everything about NYC is gorg!!

As for the gray boots. Two words…Charlotte. Russe. That little shop has such fabulous footwear!!
