First thing\u2019s first: SoHo is SOuth of HOuston Street and\u00a0the \u201cIt\u201d neighborhood of Lower Manhattan<\/strong>. It\u2019s known to be the stomping grounds for those who set the trends, and a seasonal getaway for celebs who crave the city. But more importantly, it\u2019s home to those who have mastered the art of living \u201ccool\u201d and have the bank account to support it.<\/p>\n The area between Crosby Street<\/strong> and 6th Avenue<\/strong> have a very fashionable ambiance thanks to the many popular hangout spots of fashionistas and tastemakers. And although the cobblestoned streets<\/strong>\u00a0and Belgian blocks<\/strong>\u00a0are tumultuous throughout the weekends, with tourists and their shopping bags, during the week the neighborhood is left to the bidding of a tight-knit community of young high-earning professionals <\/strong>(mostly in pairs), artists<\/strong>\u00a0who have already made their fortune, and small business owners\u00a0<\/strong>who have made an emotional connection to the area and have vowed never to leave. And so everyone knows everyone and each has the other\u2019s back, which results in a particularly warm atmosphere.<\/p>\n On another note, how can one resist the charm of its huge lofts<\/strong><\/a>, lovely\u00a0walk-ups<\/strong>,\u00a0and intimate little alleys, which serve as secret passageways that avoid tourist traps and link regular SoHo goers to\u00a0cafes, restaurants, art galleries, and coveted boutiques<\/strong>\u00a0\u2026 they can\u2019t. However, if noise is a real deal breaker, make sure to let your agent<\/a> know\u00a0that 3 floors up is your minimum.<\/p>\n As the tall tale goes, SoHo<\/strong> was born of fire and rebuilt from the ground up to become one of the most stylish neighborhoods in the US<\/strong>. But here\u2019s the deal:<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t live here, then you\u2019re definitely meeting up with your friends that do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Despite its fans, it has never become outdone or outdated. On the contrary, the ambiance has remained chic and cultured.<\/p>\n In the crooks and crannies of the neighborhood are the island\u2019s best shops<\/strong> (big and little) and bookstores<\/strong>, like the ultra-cool Housing Works Bookstore Cafe<\/strong>. And you won\u2019t stay too long, because when the clock strikes 3, it\u2019s tea time on a sunken terrace, at the institution that is the Crosby Street Hotel<\/strong>. And all regulars know that grabbing dinner at the elegant French bistro, Balthazar<\/strong>, at least once a week is a must, and also highly recommended (by us and the Michelin guide).<\/p>\n You like what you hear, right? Even though it\u2019s true, many do not come to SoHo<\/strong> to tend to their babies, all hope is not lost. If you cannot leave them behind and will not miss out on living in the trendiest place<\/strong> in the world, then there are excellent public schools<\/strong> zoned in the area, and the best prep schools<\/strong> in the country are never too far away.<\/p>\nHell\u2019s Hundred Acres!<\/h2>\n
