NoHo Art Café NYC

Rooted in NoHo's Creative Legacy

We sit in the heart of NoHo’s official historic district, where artists like Basquiat and Mapplethorpe once called home. This neighborhood has been Manhattan’s creative pulse since the 1970s, when artists first converted industrial lofts into studios and galleries.

We’ve built something different here. While other spaces chase trends or cater to tourists, we focus on what NoHo residents actually want: authentic art experiences paired with exceptional coffee. Our walls feature both emerging local talent and established artists whose works hang in the Guggenheim and MoMA.

The space reflects NoHo’s unique character – that perfect blend of artistic heritage and modern sophistication that makes this tiny neighborhood one of NYC’s most desirable creative enclaves.
