Angelika Film Center & Cafe - New York
5m
We'll begin here on Houston Street before heading into the heart of SoHo's cast-iron district.
The New York Earth Room
5m
A hidden site-specific art installation — 250 cubic yards of soil filling a SoHo loft, on permanent display since 1977. We'll stop to see it and talk about SoHo's transformation from industrial lofts to artist colony.
Greene Street
5m
One of SoHo's finest cast-iron facades, a classic stop for photographing the neighborhood's architectural character.
The Broken Kilometer

Another permanent site-specific installation — 500 polished brass rods arranged in a precise grid, viewable from the doorway.
The Drawing Center
5m
A nonprofit contemporary art space dedicated entirely to drawing, one of SoHo's most respected small galleries.
5m
Optional stop for a pastry break — I'll point out their Lumaca pastry, a local favorite.
GhostBusters Firehouse Company 8
5m
The real Tribeca firehouse used as the exterior of the Ghostbusters firehouse in the original films — one of the most recognizable movie locations in New York.
56 Leonard

A striking modern high-rise nicknamed the "Jenga Building" for its stacked, staggered glass floors — a favorite photo stop in Tribeca.
New York Mercantile Exchange
Pass by
A historic Tribeca landmark building, once home to the city's commodities exchange.
5m
One of the most photographed hidden spots in Tribeca — a narrow enclosed bridge connecting two historic buildings above a quiet cobblestone alley.
Bogardus Plaza
5m
We'll end the tour here at this historic clock in a small Tribeca plaza, marking the close of our SoHo and Tribeca walk.
