Broadway Between 3rd St and Bleecker St

    

Running parallel to a bulk of NYU buildings, it often feels like a college campus down here. While a lot of the architecture begins to show signs of SoHo-influences, a few of these campus buildings sit like sore thumbs amongst them.

Being only a block from Houston, three blocks from Washington Square Park and two blocks from The Bowery, Broadway doesn't really feel like it's anywhere. Skirting so many major neighborhoods, the block doesn't have an identity of its own, but rather just has an over-abundance of retail to make up for any lacking character.
