When you think of Soho in NYC you most likely think about shopping, which is definitely its claim to fame. But you also need to refuel with coffee, some sweets, or even a full on meal. Soho borders Nolita (its cooler younger sister), Greenwich Village (hip, students, and a bit edgy), and West Village (classic NY charm). While there are not many restaurants in Soho to begin with, there are some great options that do not require reservations. I've also included my favorite coffee shops and pit stops for sweet treats. Great for budgets ranging from $-$$$. Purchase of the guide includes an amazing interactive map that captures all these specifics and more!
