SoHo Photostroll

One of my favorite Manhattan neighborhoods. SoHo is an acronym for South of Houston Street, and that's pronounced "how stun" here in NYC. There's something for everyone in this eclectic area; high end shops & galleries, a variety of restaurants, street vendors & my favorite "Urban Art." I have spent many an afternoon photographing the artistic statements painted & collaged on the sides of buildings.
