I want to start off with a short, but important story. One Hallows Eve not too long ago I was dancing at a bar with a close friend of mine in our (probably embarrassing) Halloween costumes. I distinctly remember that the moment the clock struck midnight sending us from October 31st to November 1st, the […]
I think we can all agree that the theme of nostalgia is in right now. People are obsessed with vintage clothes, polaroid pictures, old cars and scratchy records. The juxtaposition of emerging tech and the celebration of past novelties makes for an interesting mix of new and old that I can definitely get on board […]
Calling all my Mamma Mias and my Papa Pias, there’s a new fast-casual Italian restaurant in Soho. Sitting at the corner of Mott St. and Kenmare St., The Sosta is dripping in millennial pink and on-trend with a neon sign reading, “Mangiano, Baby!” (Italian for “eat!”). Aside from the aesthetically pleasing décor, The Sosta is […]
Bonjour mes amis! Coucou kindly invited me to join in on one of their French language classes and I have suddenly become ~cultured~ and way cooler ever since. There’s just something about the French language that makes a person instantly more appealing, am I right or am I right? I have not only lived in […]
Let’s set the scene: It’s 6:06pm on a Friday night and it’s rainy yet still sizzling hot outside (how is this possible?). I’m suppose to get dinner at Despaña Soho with my roommate so I look it up on Google maps and it happens to be 600 feet from my apartment. After realizing some things are […]
Has anyone else noticed the increasing number of Australian cafes around the city? I have and I’m not mad about it, whatsoever. Lucky for all us Soho-ers there’s an amazing one right on Mulberry St. called Ruby’s Cafe. Ruby’s has floor to ceiling windows facing the sidewalk and in the summer they open them for […]
Hey (egg)sluts! The chef behind the wildly successful restaurant, Eggslut, has created an all-day breakfast menu for Chefs Club Counter on 62 Spring St. This new menu is being released as a sneak-peak for Chef Alvin Cailan’s newest concept, Paper Planes. Since I have a patience problem, I love trying new foods before they happen elsewhere. In this […]
All those who like rag & bone raise their hands! Everyone’s hands should be raised because have you seen their clothes right now? A quick stop in their Mercer St. store or an I’m-bored-at-work click through their website and you’ll see that their current selection is on point. On Tuesday June 20th, rag & bone is adding […]
There’s just something about Mott St. that gives me the feels. It can be so quite and calm that I almost forget I’m in New York City. Almost. Anyway, I like to think that every SOHO STRUT reader is my friend, and friends help friends out right? So here I am to help you out […]
If you’ve ever roamed the streets of Soho around noon on the weekends then you know that brunch is a thing in this neighborhood. It’s a social event that simply can’t be missed no matter how bad your hangover is. If you’ve chosen to roam Soho on Lafayette St., then you’ve definitely seen the mob of humans […]
Its officially been a year since I registered Sohostrut.com as a domain name. Over the past year, I can successfully say that my goal of becoming a Soho neighborhood expert has been attained. I reached 200 posts in one year! {Any blogger would be impressed} Over this next year, my goal is to leverage the relationships I’ve […]
I wrote about my first visit to the Judd Museum at 101 Spring Street in Soho on September 26, 2013 here. Donald Judd lived from 1928-1994 and was an American artist associated with minimalism. During his career, Donald Judd moved from figurative to increasingly abstract imagery. This evolved to large-scaled constructions which he called, “permanent […]
Walking down the street’s of Soho, and several neighborhoods in NYC (Greenwich Village, East/West Village and the Lower East Side), walk-up buildings, known as tenements, line the streets. After the grid system was established in 1811, lots of land were divided into 25 feet wide by 100 feed deep lots. If you’re walking in Soho, there are several […]
