22nd St Between 8th Ave and 9th Ave

Rows of humble buildings line this street, with small details all around there's plenty to enjoy. A church in the middle of the block is the standout feature here, as it dwarfs everything else. There's a comfortable balance of decay and artistry here. The area feels aged, but well-cared-for. 

At the ends of the block there are some high-rise buildings and larger developments, but they're removed enough as not to impeded much on the atmosphere of the neighborhood.
