The Center, North Side

The guide to Expo 2015 for design lovers. If we say SoHo, everyone thinks of a specific area of Manhattan (or London, if you are British). However, in New York City, SoHo stands for South of Houston Street. Here we are at Expo 2015; we are not as clever as in New York, so we have no SoDe (South of Decumanus). That said, if we organized names like in New York (NoLIta, North of Little Italy; NoMad, North of Madison Square Park, etc.), we would get SoDe. The south side of the matter. Piero Ciampi would have said: “[the roaring south](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F08NeU_97qY)”. This area was curated by the Social Media Team Expo 2015.

Another Italian Pop corner, at the highest levels. You've tried five different coffees. You've seen Salgado's exhibition and inspected the greenhouse where the coffee plants grow. You've taken part in the guided tour and attended a couple of events. What else could you do to show your utter devotion to the coffee god? Simple, you can buy a set of [Illy collection cups](http://shop.illy.com/online/store/product_collection-cups-us_expo-2015-collection-cappuccino_us).
