SoHo
Soho (which stands for South of Houston) is a premiere destination for the world's trendiest jet setters, New York's SoHo district has something to offer just about everyone. Bordered to the North by Houston Street, to the South by Canal Street, to the West by Sixth Avenue and to the East by Broadway, Characterized by the imposing cast-iron architecture of the late 19th Century built for manufacturing and warehousing, SoHo was mostly abandoned and then re-discovered by starving artistd who were attracted by it's cavernous spaces with good light and comparatively low rent. In the early 1980s, as the area's popularity spread, soaring rents drove the original artist colony to seek less costly neighborhoods. Their exhibition galleries remained however, and today the works of some of the world's most celebrated contemporary artist are on display commanding shocking prices.
