Frequently asked questions
What does SoHo stand for?
SoHo is short for 'South of Houston Street'. This naming system inspired other New York neighborhoods: NoHo (North of Houston), Tribeca (Triangle Below Canal), DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), and even London's Soho saw its name reinterpreted.
Is SoHo still an artists' neighborhood?
SoHo has evolved since its bohemian era. Most art galleries migrated to Chelsea in the 2000s. Today, SoHo is more of a fashion and luxury shopping district, but the cast-iron facades and lofts preserve the original creative spirit. A few galleries and exhibition spaces remain.
