Soho New York City Streets against a blue sky and puffy clouds. SoHo, sometimes spelled Soho, is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City, which in recent history came to the public's attention for being the location of many artists' lofts and art galleries, but is now more noted for its variety of shops ranging from trendy upscale boutiques to national and international chain store outlets. The area's history is an archetypal example of inner-city regeneration and gentrification, encompassing socio-economic, cultural, political and architectural developments. The name SoHo refers to the area being SOuth of HOuston (Street), and was also a reference to the London district of Soho. It was coined by Chester Rapkin, an urban planner and author of the The South Houston Industrial Area study,also known as the Rapkin Report. This began a naming convention that became a model for the names of emerging and re-purposed neighborhoods in New York such as TriBeCa for TRIangle BElow CAnal Street, DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), NoHo (NOrth of HOuston Street), Nolita (NOrth of Little ITAly) and NoMad (NOrth of MADison Square), among others.
