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.
When in Soho, a visit to this gallery is a must. The tiny shop front opens up to an expansive space over two levels, and carries a comprehensive collection of original pieces by iconic Soho artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. There's a new exhibition every few months or so in the back, currently showing the largest collection of intimate and little known Marilyn Monroe photographs spanning her 19 year career.
