That's like the best urbanity in North America, and as good as any on the planet. I mean, if you don't like that kind of urbanity, then I don't know what to say.
There are almost no garment workers in that area, BTW. They're long-since gone. It's normal office tenants, though the Fashion industry still has an outsized presence. Not sure I would call the area low-rise except in the context of Midtown. The side streets are generally 10-30 floor buildings.
