Before

0.4 mi · 9 min walk - SoHo - Nolita

Eileen Avezzano tested her family cheesecake recipe out of her apartment and moved the business onto this corner in 1975, when the police headquarters up Centre Street had emptied out and the block was not on most maps. She called it her lucky corner. Retail started because people knocked on the door, so they bought a case.

After

0.2 mi · 5 min walk - Tribeca - Hudson Square

A two-floor pub at Lispenard and West Broadway with pressed tin ceilings, a shuffleboard table upstairs and a jukebox the regulars keep feeding. It opens in the morning and does not shut until four. PUNCH calls it a holdout from the days when neighborhood pubs were everywhere down here.
