Norfolk St
"A bit of both worlds."
Norfolk is a great location to call home. There is literally nothing but residential homes on the block, but it's near Grand and Broome Street, two intersections that pack a lot of punch. You can get the party going on on of the major cross streets then simply walk home to the quiet of your own personal oasis. Norfolk and it's surrounding area is my ideal Manhattan a mix of calm and crazy.

"Great place to live"
If you are a twenty-something who loves to party, but also to come home to your relatively quiet street, than Norfolk Street would be a choice place to live. There are actually blocks on the street that have yet to feature a bar or restaurant, a rarity in the LES. If you are visiting and plan on doing some bar hopping in the neighborhood, a stop into Nurse Bettie is worth your troubles. The 50's pinup themed bar features a delicious array of cocktails you've most likely never tried before. (Pearly Legal, anyone?)

"Norfolk Street... Alright"
The Village: what a sweet location! Lots of trees, walking and calm. Like something from a 1920s film on New York City Life, score by a jazz saxophone in a minor key. this street is mainly residential and houses people from all walks of life. Norfolk St is close to the following metro stations: 6 at Spring Street, F, J, M, Z at Essex St- Delancey St, and the J, M, Z at Bowery. It is also accessible to many buses. Foot traffic is moderate, and it is a good neighborhood for all people!

"Nice place, like a tropical island in an ocean, almost"
Norfolk St would strike me as a much better place to live on than its counterpart in British county names Suffolk St next door, instead of being a dull and boarded up place this street has trees down it which always make a place seem nicer, and in general it had a good vibe.

"A little less crazy then other nearby blocks"
Norfolk between Stanton and Houston is one of the few blocks on the Lower East Side that does not have a bar or Restaurant on it (for now at least). The whole west side of the block is taken up by an Elementary School. Used to live on Clinton Street and it is so nice to have at least a little bit of peace and quite.
