Comments:
Our main purpose to Bleecker Street was the Magnolia Bakery so we didn't shop here much although I very much liked the look of this neat little fashion street where a lot of the shops have a consistent black painted shop front with a red brick wall exterior above it.  Very pleasant walk here.
