Short for "South of Houston," Soho is bordered by Broadway to the East, Thompson Street on the West, and Houston Street on the North. It is a few streets north of famous Canal Street. Within the past ten-plus years, its name has come to stand for New York's most progressive arts district.
Soho 原是 South of Houston 的縮寫，泛指紐約曼哈頓南邊，百老匯大街以西、湯普遜街以東、豪士頓街以南、運河街以北的幾條街；近十幾年來，已然成為紐約前衛藝術區的代名詞。
