SoHo is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Originally associated with the arts, it has since become famous for both destination shopping and its downtown scene. The name is a blend of "South" and "Houston" from "south of Houston Street" and has no relation to the district called Soho in London, England. Its name is the model for other new neighborhood acronyms in New York City, such as TriBeCa (Triangle Below Canal Street) and DUMBO, Brooklyn (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). However, it is a archetypal example of inner-city regeneration over an 150 year period, encompassing socio-economic, cultural, political and architectural developments Before its incarnation as a trendy locale, it was known as the Cast Iron District because of the many buildings incorporating cast iron architectural elements.
It is bounded roughly by Houston Street on the north, Lafayette Street on the east, Canal Street on the south, and Sixth Avenue on the west.
It should be noted that Encyclopaedia Britannica's 1956 article on New York (City) states that the southern border of Greenwich Village is Spring Street. If Britannica was correct, SoHo may have encroached on the southern two blocks of the villages traditional borders.
Geography purists from the neighborhood insist SoHo's borders are Houston Street to the North and Canal Street to the South, while Lafayette Street and West Broadway are the eastern and western borders respectively, since the SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District as well as SoHo's unique M1-5a/5b zoning define these boundaries. The neighborhood to the west of West Broadway is the South Village, which reflects the 1956 Britannica cite. East of Lafayette Street is the northern part of Little Italy, now more commonly called Nolita.
Nearby neighborhoods include:
To the north: Greenwich Village and NoHo
To
the east: Little Italy, NoLIta, and the Lower East Side
To the south: Chinatown,
TriBeCa

landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. It is also home to
the headquarters of the United Nations. Manhattan has the largest central business
district in the United States, is the site of both the New York Stock Exchange
and NASDAQ, and is the home to the largest number of corporate headquarters in
the nation. It is indisputably the center of New York City and the New York metropolitan
region, holding the seat of city government, and the largest fraction of employment,
business, and recreational activities.
