SoHo

 

If New York is at the cutting edge of technological and artistic advancements, then SoHo is at the very tip of the spear. The entire neighborhood is drenched with style, talent, and an electrifying air, permeating throughout. The numerous designer boutiques seen throughout the neighborhood only help to prove this point. Of course, it had to come from somewhere, so instead of summarizing the wealth of New York’s history, you can stop by the New York Historical Society where the countless stories of SoHo and The Big Apple can be given the full respect they deserve.
