Loved this wide-ranging post, and so glad you got around to the Flower District, which is the first thing I thought of. Also from my childhood in New York, with some remnants remaining: Garment District, Diamond District, and West 48th Street's Music Row. And best of all, Fourth Avenue was filled with used bookstores. Thanks for your observations about places like this!
I used to wander the flower district just for the lovely sights and smells.
(Btw, "peak" should be "peek.")
