About SoHo

SoHo, short for South of Houston Street, is a Lower Manhattan neighborhood known for fashion shopping and cast-iron architecture. Stores range from luxury boutiques to flagship shops between Houston and Canal Streets. Look up as you walk: the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District holds about 500 buildings across 26 blocks, most built between 1840 and 1880. Artists moved into the old factory lofts in the 1960s, and galleries still dot the neighborhood today.
