{{otheruses}}

In [[New York City]], '''NoHo''', for '''No'''rth of '''Ho'''uston Street (as contrasted with ''[[SoHo]]'', '''So'''uth of '''Ho'''uston) is a small area of [[Manhattan]], roughly bounded by [[Houston Street (Manhattan)|Houston Street]] on the south, [[The Bowery]] on the east, Astor Place on the north, and [[Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway]] on the west. NoHo is wedged between [[Greenwich Village]], west of Broadway, and the [[East Village, Manhattan|East Village]]. When Lafayette Street was opened in the 1820s, it was one of the most fashionable streets in New York: the only survivor of that era is half of the original Colonnade Row, 1833, perhaps designed by [[Alexander Jackson Davis]] for speculative builder Seth Geer. Across from it is the [[Public Theater (New York)|Public Theater]]. When it was a light manufacturing and warehouse district, [[Robert Mapplethorpe]]'s loft was in NoHo.
