New York |
Once home to massive factories, artists moved in and transformed the area into a bustling urban mecca. Galleries, designer shops, sophisticated restaurants and trendy bars followed soon after. Today, tourists flock here and rents have risen sky high. Named for London's famous shopping neighborhood, the area used to be known as the Cast Iron District. The historic district retains this distinctive industrial architecture, which mostly dates from the 19th century. Some cobblestone streets still remain on Wooster street and part of Howard Street. Boutiques and restaurants grace the north side of SoHo along Broadway, Prince and Spring, where the streets are crowded with tourists and artists. The south side along Canal and Grand Streets is cheaper and more dilapidated, retaining some of the pre-"SoHo effect" factories and atmosphere. Review © 2009, Wcities |
