This area winds its way through twisting streets. On the outskirts, staid and aristocratic galleries showcase fine (and expensive) works of art, while the center of the area coexists with a thriving youth culture and consists primarily of less formal galleries, as well as bistros, boutique shops and a couple of night clubs. The distinct populations seem sharply divided, with only the artists readily transitioning between the two.

Mercantile freighters are docked here, each one a small galaxy of fixed and blinking lights. Something is always being loaded or offloaded, it seems. The smell of the sea comes off of the concrete like a dirty sailor, and carries with it the smells of fish and gulls, foodstuffs from around the world and other, stranger commodities. Dockworkers and crewmen yammer at one another, sometimes in English, sometimes not.

The old meat-packing plants have been refurbished as lofts, but over half of the brick-faced businesses here are markets, a handful of which are open well into the late hours. The smell of open-air produce stands lingering along the main boulevard.

Aging brownstone buildings, some quite sizable, sit side-by-side with slightly more modern architecture in here. Boutique shops line the streets, though nearly a quarter of the shops are bookstores, newsstands, stationers and other businesses devoted to the publishing industry. The neighborhood is a trendy one, with twenty and thirty-somethings walking to clubs and restaurants, eager to fritter away some hard-earned cash.

A wide variety of shops are located here, with something of an emphasis on jewelers, watchmakers and other, similar businesses. At this time of night, most of the stores are closed, their facades concealed by rolling steel grating. One or two shops appear to be open, even now, however. Dressed to the nines, people are still walking the streets, most of them on their way to restaurants or clubs.

Consisting of tangled streets and back alleys, the night club circuit caters to all tastes, from the tame to the exotic. The clubs on the outer streets of this area offer the usual affair: a night of music, drinking and socializing. In the interior, darker proclivities and more marginalized demographics find purchase. And, everywhere, the narrow allies and tall buildings obscure all that transpires from the eyes of the city.

In the urban heart of Oddhaven, there are only two ways in which the changing of seasons makes a profound mark: the length of the days and the shore’s level of activity. In fall and winter, this stretch of sand is dismal and abandoned; hotels close for the season and the bars are sedate. When the warmth of spring arrives, so do the beach-goers. And, as the summer heat waxes, the shore becomes choked with reveling bodies night and day.
