    Its a very desireable neighborhood - close to Times Square. It sounds like it would be bad but isn;t

    Back in the 1800's, it was where the poor, working class Irish Americans lived. Up thru the mid 1980's, it was a rough neighborhood. Than in the early 1990's, it went thru gentrification and became an area for yuppies and tourists because of its location near Broadway and Times Square

    Yes, like a lot of NYC, it got "gentrified" and is now a wealthy area.
