SoHo – New York
SoHo (short for South of Houston) is famous for being the district with the most buildings in the world with cast-iron architecture, including full and partial cast-iron façades. This area was made popular in the 60s as it became the home of various artists in search of cheaper rental prices.
These days it’s hard to think of this district as anything but prosperous, with its fashion boutiques, restaurants and array of art galleries.
SoHo is a perfect example of the constant change taking place in the city, which New York prides itself on.
