Message from Natasha Ibrahim

SoHo, short for "South of Houston Street," is a trendy neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Known for its artsy vibe, SoHo is packed with cool art galleries, chic boutiques, and historic cast-iron buildings. Back in the day, it was a bustling commercial hub with fancy stores and theaters, but then it turned into an industrial wasteland called "Hell's Hundred Acres." Fast forward to the 1960s, artists started moving in, digging the lofty lofts and big windows, and the rest is history. Today, SoHo is a hipster paradise where creativity meets commerce, making it a must-visit spot for anyone looking to soak up some downtown charm.
