Hood of The Month- SoHo

SOHO

Once a gritty industrial district, now one of Manhattan’s most sought-after enclaves, SoHo (South of Houston Street) is a neighborhood where history and high fashion collide. Its signature cast-iron facades, cobblestone streets, and lofted artist spaces create a backdrop that feels equal parts vintage New York and contemporary chic.

SoHo’s transformation from an artist haven in the '60s and '70s to a luxury shopping and dining destination is evident at every corner. The former warehouses that once housed painters and sculptors now boast some of the city’s most exclusive boutiques, high-end flagships, and cutting-edge galleries. Yet, despite its evolution, SoHo has retained its creative spirit—whether in the form of pop-up exhibitions, sleek co-working spaces, or trendsetting concept stores.

When it comes to dining, the options are as stylish as the neighborhood itself. Whether it’s a cozy Italian meal at Sant Ambroeus, a rooftop cocktail at Jimmy at The James, or a laid-back afternoon at Ladurée’s garden café, SoHo is as much a culinary hub as it is a shopping mecca.

Real estate here is defined by sun-drenched lofts with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and oversized windows—a dream for those who love open-concept living. The neighborhood is also home to a mix of contemporary condos and boutique buildings, offering a unique blend of old-world charm and modern luxury.

Whether you’re strolling through the streets with a coffee in hand, gallery-hopping on West Broadway, or indulging in a bit of retail therapy, SoHo is the kind of neighborhood that’s effortlessly cool—and always evolving.
