SoHo is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan. Originally associated with the arts, Soho has since become famous for both destination shopping and its downtown scene. The name is a blend of "South" and "Houston" from its location "South of Houston Street." Its name is the model for other new neighborhood acronyms in New York City, such as NoHo, for North of Houston Street, TriBeCa (Triangle Below Canal Street), Nolita (North of Little Italy), and DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). It is an archetypal example of inner-city regeneration and gentrification, encompassing socio-economic, cultural, political and architectural developments. Before its incarnation as a trendy locale, it was known as the Cast Iron District because of the many buildings incorporating cast iron architectural elements. It is bounded roughly by Houston Street on the north, Lafayette Street on the east, Canal Street on the south, and 6th Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) on the west.

SoHo's location, the appeal of lofts as living spaces, its architecture and, ironically, its "hip" reputation as a haven for artists all contributed to this change. The pattern of gentrification is typically known as the "SoHo Effect" and has been observed in several cities around the United States. A backwater of poor artists and small factories in the 1970s, SoHo became a popular tourist destination for people looking for fashionable clothing and exquisite architecture.
