From an industrial area turned artist colony, SoHo is a historic neighborhood located ‘South of Houston Street’ in downtown Manhattan. Here’s where you’ll learn to speak like a local: it’s pronounced “How-ston”, not “Hew-ston” like the city in Texas. You can practice the pronunciation while traversing the quaint cobblestone streets to find fantastic museums, art, trendy boutiques, high-end retailers, global cuisines, and enviable nightlife scenes. If you’re ready to be in the middle of it all, you’ll be right at home in SoHo.

Our Top SoHo Moving Tips
Let’s talk about this trapezoid-shaped area in downtown Manhattan. North to south, SoHo starts at West Houston Street and ends at Canal Street. East to west, it stretches from Lafayette Street all the way to the Hudson River. Nearby, SoHo is flanked by other swanky neighborhoods including NoHo (north of Houston) to the north, Nolita to the east, and TriBeCa to the south.
Before venturing into other parts of the city, here’s a few details to familiarize yourself with before making SoHo your SoHome:
- Cost of living. Amidst the historic “Cast Iron District” dwellings that were converted from industrial spaces, there are a few newer buildings you may call home. One residential recommendation to take heed: if you are sensitive to noises, you may be happiest living in a location that’s not above a business. It may be open late, receive late deliveries, and simply be in a high-traffic tourist area. With that in mind, taking time to consider where in SoHo you’ll sign on the dotted line for your dwelling may prove to be a wise action. No matter if it’s new, noisy, or old though, an address in this part of Manhattan comes at a steep price tag. For example, renters should expect that the average monthly cost for a one-bedroom apartment will be around $5,823. Owning a home in these parts is equally expensive. The current median listing price is at about between $3M and $4M. The good news? Anywhere you live in SoHo will put you close to over 10 different MTA subway lines. This means you’ll be well connected to virtually any part of the city you choose with a reasonable cost for commuting ($2.75 per ride). If you have or rent a car and need to get out of the city, you’ll also be close to the Holland Tunnel so you can get where you’re going easily.
- A collection of arts and culture. The artistic history of SoHo began back in the late 60’s, when old industrial buildings were being converted into art spaces and co-ops by some big names in the art world including Andy Warhol and John Lennon. As a neighborhood with a significant history and creative spirit, it is no surprise that it’s currently home to a number of diverse places to showcase it. One such establishment is the Museum of Interesting Things, where visitors can observe exhibitions and demonstrations of antiques and curious inventions! If confections are of interest to you, you can realize your sweetest dreams with a visit to the Museum of Ice Cream. There, you can sample the sweet treat in 5 different forms and even take a dip in the sprinkle pool! Did you have aspirations to become a fire-fighter as a child? If so, you’ll find a world of fascination at the New York City Fire Museum learning more about the history of the firehouse trucks and putting out blazes in the city. No matter how you grew up or how you identify, taking a trip to SoHo’s Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art can grow your appreciation for the art of queer creators and preserving queer art. You can also take in artistic creations composed by up-and-coming artists from all walks of life at The Drawing Center and Artist Space.
- South of HOWston in the daytime. From enjoying your first sip of coffee in the morning to savoring the last of what remains of the day, you’ll find plenty to fill your time and satisfy your cravings. In terms of dining, there are many cuisines to choose from, including Russian, Vietnamese, Mediterranean, Mexican, Thai, French, Japanese, and even American. Notable nosh stops include French foods spanning from breakfast to dinner at Balthazar, taking in tacos at Esquina, and devouring the fresh catch of the day at Lure Fish Bar. Of course, if you’re ready to sit down for the heartiest of meals, order the steak with cream at Raoul’s. Fueling up is wise because while there aren’t as many large parks situated among the neighborhood’s cobblestone streets, there are a few greenspaces to enjoy. You may plot your path to intersect with Spring Street Park, James J. Walker Park, and Vesuvio Playground (named after the famed Vesuvio Bakery nearby). In between stops at these parks for rest, you can begin your journey as an expert shopper, as the neighborhood is known for being a retail hot-spot filled with many well-known stores and boutiques.
- SoHo loves the nightlife. From nightclubs to dive bars, this neighborhood has it all when it comes to lighting up the night — and there’s really too many to list here. But there’s a few worth considering, depending on your after-dark vibe. Those enthused by cocktails, DJs, disco balls, and velvet-draped banquette seating will want to check out the blond for a night out. If you prefer your velvet outside on ropes to signal exclusivity, then GoldBar is a classic choice. If a grittier vibe is more your scene, grab a brew and a seat at The Spring Lounge. Most days, it’s open at 8am — so if you’ve got room to celebrate something in the A.M., they’ll be there to pour a bit of cheer. Or, if you’re bringing your whole crew with you to enjoy a beverage, Houston Hall is plenty big enough to seat and serve all who enter (over the age of 21, of course). Seriously though, this neighborhood is known for serving up lots of libations within its bounds. So you’re bound to find one (or more) that fits the bill!
