PHOTO OF THE WEEK: LITTLE ITALY HISTORY ON DISPLAY

Looking for authenticity in a loft? Then we direct your attention to the live/work setup at 138 Mulberry Street in Little Italy, a blank slate of a space that has some of the coolest preserved details we’ve seen lately. The original brick archways immediately draw your attention, setting the massive 4,000-square-foot space apart from any other loft you’re likely to lay eyes on. As Little Italy gets absorbed by trendy neighborhoods like SoHo and the Lower East Side, it’s nice to see this reminder of Mulberry Street’s rich history.
