Just east of Broadway and south of Houston, fashion, style and nonchalant living have found fertile new breeding ground. Lining the streets are fresh, creative and independent designer boutiques, coffeehouses and cafés, establishing this area as the latest in chic. Referred to as NoLita , this section north of Little Italy, which extends east from Lafayette, Mott and Elizabeth streets between Prince and Houston, is great for only-in-New York, hip accessory shopping. NoLita is not cheap by any means, but the young, artsy and restless hanging outside the area's proliferation of trendy stores, bars and restaurants make it an excellent place for a late-afternoon drink and a spot of beautiful-people watching.
