SoHo is known for its intricate cast-iron facades and cobblestone streets, remnants of the old industrial warehouses and factories that were prominent in the late 19th century.
As the area developed, it boomed into a thriving art scene, with many galleries and studios occupying the large industrial loft spaces of the neighborhood.
Over recent years, this downtown neighborhood has morphed again into a chic and picturesque retail destination. You'll find funky boutiques, big name retailers, charming restaurants, cafés and bars all contributing to the area's hip reputation.
