Bleecker St Between Perry St and Hudson St

Lined with high-end shops and equally high-end shoppers, this final stretch of Bleecker has plenty to lure you in. Depending on how you look at it, Bleecker Street either begins or ends here, at Abingdon Square (the other terminus would be The Bowery). If you wanted to, you could probably rename much of this street "Marc Jacobs Blvd", as a handful of his boutiques dot the landscape.

Besides Marc Jacobs, perhaps one of the most noteworthy features on these blocks is the famous Magnolia Bakery. Open since 1996, the small corner shop started the wacky cupcake madness that has swept the city over the past decade or so.

As the street opens up to the Bleecker Playground and the aforementioned Abingdon Square, it can become a bit confusing which direction to go. The tangled streets and sidewalks all come to several points with no clear direction of departure.
