Soho is the area south of Houston, on the West Side. Neighborhoods bordering on Soho include Lolita, China Town and Little Italy. Soho-Soho is probably the trendiest part of Manhattan and therefore one of the most expensive. When walking down the small, often cobble stone streets of Soho, you might confuse it with the charm of a European city. There are many boutiques, salons, art galleries, restaurants, and bars. It is rumored to be the best shopping in NYC. Part of Soho's charm and allure are the famous lofts, which have been converted from commercial offices to homes and artist spaces.
