  SoHo & TriBeCa
SoHo and Tribeca are located in Manhattan: south of Houston street, north of Chambers street, and west of Lafayette street to the Hudson River. Nearly demolished in the 1960's, SoHo (south of Houston) was saved when it was recognized that the rare cast-iron architecture was a valuable asset to the city. Formerly an industrial district, SoHo soon became the home of artists who moved into the loft spaces. As a result of the influx of these creative characters, galleries, shops, and café's began to appear. Brunch and gallery hopping is now a popular weekend activity for the residents of New York ...........

History of New York

Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898  -   Mike Wallace, Edwin G. Burrows
To European explorers, it was Eden, a paradise of waist-high grasses, towering stands of walnut, maple, chestnut and oak, and forests that teemed with bears, wolves, racoons, beavers, otters and foxes. Today it is the city of Broadway and Wall Street, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, and the home of millions of people, who have come from every corner of the nation and the globe. In "Gotham", Edwin G. Burrows and Mike Wallace have produced a work of history that ranges from the Indian tribes that settled in and around the island of Manna-hata, to the consolidation of the five boroughs into Greater New York in 1898.
