Craig Robins, who purchased several dilapidated buildings in the area and encouraged several fashion designers to move into the city, began the renovation. A large selection of first-rate architects who designed iconic buildings for brands like Hermes and Christian Louboutin attracted the arrival of the finest foreign luxury shops.

Since then, the Design District has been home to art galleries, showrooms, museums, and other attractions. Even if you can't afford Tiffany's necklace, this neighborhood is still a must-see for its architectural and artistic quality. Every second Saturday of each month a community-wide Art & Design Night is held from 7-10 p.m.
