I always see people outside of Umanicatessen, and they don't seem to mind Broadway. It's so fascinating to me that the gentrification of Broadway is happening from south to north, unlike the rest of the historic core. Anyways, the owners of H. Lorezno, an ultra high end boutique selling conceptual clothing (Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, Julius) have opened up a pop up store in the Arts District. Apparently, they want to bring ultra high end fashion downtown. Sounds good to me!
As you've pointed out, S. Broadway has gotten a lot more care, less crowded, and consequently much cleaner. The main area around the theaters though is grimy, crowded, loud, and has next to no upkeep. N. Broadway needs 5-years worth of repairs, paint, and cleaning behind its ears before I'd ever want to dine on a patio, let alone party on a rooftop.
