One of New York's most beloved neighborhoods, beautiful Soho with its archetypal cast-iron buildings has a rich and interesting history. From its heyday of being the original artists' playground, today's Soho is the home of high fashion flagship stores the world over. A neighborhood constantly in flux, new concept stores, pop ups, restaurants and bars arrive on the regular, while some gems have thrived through the decades, standing the test of time and rising rent. There's something to see, taste, try on and experience every step of the way on every street, here're some of my favorites.
Neigbourhood staple two-part bakery and coffee shop.
New York's biggest bike store and cycling community.
Birchbox's only brick-and-mortar flagship.
Next door to the unjustifiably long lines at Jack's Wife Frieda, Cafe Select sometimes catches the overflow. But in my opinion, Cafe Select is the wiser choice. The small shop front with al fresco tables open up to an expansive space, with a secret back bar behind the kitchen. The food and drinks are all delicious, and the roomy, festive but intimate setting is great for groups or dates.
