SoHo is as globally synonymous with high fashion as London or Paris. Strolling its cobbled streets, visitors find an interesting mix of 200-year-old cast-iron lofts standing shoulder to shoulder with glassy modern dwellings. Spring Street is the main thoroughfare and features the flagship store for almost every upscale fashion house, as well as a colorful array of street vendors. West Houston Street, Boome Street, and West Broadway are additional areas that entice both retailers and restaurateurs due to high traffic and highly desirable neighborhood commercial retail space. Mercer Street is home to some of New York’s top fashion designers and is the primary shopping center of the neighborhood.
The location of numerous photography studios and art galleries, SoHo provides visitors an opportunity to sit down and “people watch” after a long day of retail therapy. The neighborhood’s charm lies in its exclusive inclusivity, whether it be grabbing a slice of pizza or sitting down for a meal at one of its many Michelin star restaurants.
