"Shopping, Food and Fire Museum"

Spring Street in New York City is a long street with a lot of great shopping. There are very good restaurants in the area and access to local subway and bus routes is nearby. It is also home to the New York City Fire Museum which is a really fun and educational location.

"Famous food and other delights"

What a delightful place, this street. A personal favorite is Evolution, a store that sells such fun artifacts as whale teeth, taxidermied pheasants, incandescent butterflies mounted in glass boxes, and all manner of fossilized rocks. The street is also home to legendary eats like Balthazar's, the Aqua Grill, and Lombardi's. If you live in the area, Balthazar's has fantastic pastries, but then again so does the much smaller Ceci-Cela, and it isn't nearly as crowded. Rice to Riches is a dessert place specialized on, yes, rice pudding, and aside from an astonishing variety of pudding flavors they also have some cheeky signage. Space, at 6th Avenue, is a hair cutter's I've used and found excellent for the precision of their work. There's so much that's so good on this street that it's hard not to start waving my hands with enthusiasm when I talk about it. There's also a tiny basketball court at the corner with Mulberry, which is an important detail for the neighborhood kids and the local community. Spring Street starts at the Bowery and runs through Nolita and SoHo, and then loses fuel after about 6th Avenue, just where Prince Toupee himself, Donald Trump, has put up his International Hotel and Tower.

"Put a spring in your step"

If theres one sure fire way to put a spring into your step it is to have a great day, shopping, eating and drinking. Thankfully, Spring Street is the ideal location for all of these activites and should put a smile on the face of anyone, regardless of what sort of mood they are in.

"Soho boutiques and thousands of visitors"

Spring Street is in Soho, Manhattan. Everyday thousands of people visit its boutiques. Besides the shopping part, I find this street extremely nice. Of course, sometimes it is a little stressful to walk among all that persons but the street has nonetheless a nice atmosphere. The number of visitors is nothing if compared with the area around 42nd St and 5 Av.

"Great for people watching, shopping, bar hopping"

Spring Street is home to New York’s first (or so they tell everyone) pizza place – Lombardi’s. For some reason this restaurant is always hiring – just about everyone I know has interviewed to work here during their college days. Spring Street is the ultimate Soho street – it’s a must see for anyone visiting the city. Tons of restaurants and shops line the street, and if you can stand the noise and crowds, it would be a fun place to live.

"Spring Street might need more Spring in its step"

I found this street to be a bit dead in comparison to other livelier streets in the Village, though it was filled with nice restaurants and boutiques.

On Spring, you should check out Fiamma, Aqua Grill, and Bistro Les Amis for some reasonably priced food.

For shopping, try Flying A and Freelance shoes.

Good part about this street is its accessibility and if you're looking for somewhere to hang your hat, if you're into the Loft Life, this might be the area for you!

"Unique shopping and a decent spot in Soho"

Full of boutique shops and a vast array of decent restaurants, this street is a great Saturday afternoon or evening stroll. Critics think that this street can be a bit dead in the evening but when you’re stuck amongst some of the best shops and one of the best sushi restaurants in Manhattan, there shouldn’t be any complaints. My friends often comes back from here on a Saturday afternoon carrying 4-5 shopping bags so they obviously won’t complain either…
