...A Guide to Unique and Local NYC
This Manhattan neighborhood map shows you the heart and soul of New York City…the places New Yorkers live, eat, work, explore and the reason we all love living in New York City.

Garment District / Fashion Center
The Garment District, also called the Fashion District or Fashion Center, is home to many of the world’s most famous fashion designers and showrooms. The area is an amazing resource for fabrics, beads and trims, however, unless you are trade, don’t expect to walk in off the street to designer showrooms. The best way to possibly get access to private showrooms is through a private tour or a NYC Sample Sale.
