Little Bohemia
Greenwich Village was long known for its "Bohemian" ways, and it was sometimes called "Little Bohemia."
The Yorkville section of Manhattan was also called "Little Bohemia." Yorkville's East 72nd Street was called Bohemian Boulevard or Bohemian Broadway.
.
Just look for a "Little Germany." "Little Bohemia" is surely not far off!
4 September 1892, New York (NY) Times, pg. 4:
We have had Russian composers and leaders, we have had Polish pianists, very Samsons in their locks and their ability to bring down the house, and now comes the turn of little Bohemia. If New-York is the capital of Ireland, DVORZHAK should receive a cordial welcome here out of respect purely to the parallel - unless, indeed, he turn out to be so like an Irishman that merely from force of habit all the real Celts should turn to and make it hot for him!

Bohemia, too, has its fascinating New York quarter - in the Seventies stretching from Third Avenue to the River - more romantic than the would-be Greenwich Village Bohemia because these real Bohemians are incurably romantic.
