NYC Unfiltered | Walking Nolita, SoHo, Downtown Civic Center

In this Explore Walking Tours video, we walk southbound along Lafayette Street, starting near Civic Center, Federal Plaza, Foley Square, and continuing toward SoHo. Early in the walk, we encounter a heavy police presence preparing for a planned protest later in the day, with news crews already positioned nearby — offering a rare look at the city before events unfold. As we continue south, Lafayette Street shifts into everyday NYC life: Canal Street vendors, shoppers running errands, people lining up outside stores, and the constant movement that defines this corridor. We end at Lafayette & Jersey Street, a quiet two-block alley tucked between Lafayette and Mulberry, closing out this walk as an ode to Lafayette Street and its role connecting Civic Center, Nolita, and SoHo.
