West End entertainment
Soho is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan known for its cast-iron architecture, art galleries, and upscale shopping.
The name comes from "South of Houston Street." Similar neighborhoods in other cities have borrowed the name: We spent the afternoon wandering through Soho. (SoHo is an alternate spelling; SOHO refers to small office/home office.)
