Five Points: Warm & Toasty

While the Five Points neighborhood may appear to have sprang to life – and in popularity – overnight, it’s been well over a decade since Urban Roots, Five Points Bakery, Essex Street Pub and Left Bank began the grassroots effort to establish this West Side community.

Today, a diverse range of small businesses, restaurants and artisans call Five Points home. Among the dozen or so businesses there’s a cafe that would be at home on the streets of Paris, a traditional African clothing maker, a yoga studio, a frame shop, a well-stocked wine retailer, an artisan chocolate maker, a couple places to get plants for the vase or the garden, a James Beard-nominated chef, and some of the best baked goods you’ll find anywhere – all owned and operated by a colorful cast of people that live and play in the neighborhood.

Just like the streets that join together to create the neighborhood’s namesake, the Five Points is the perfect union of diversity and culture that you could only find on the West Side.
