...nearly missed to post this. here's list of mandatory shopping & eating if you ever hit NYC's energy-loaded SOHO.
brooklynindustries - best urban-style bags and clothing.
triple five soul - the aim of design is to define space.
spring street natural restaurant - breakfast! morning sun.
nyonya - malaysian cuisine, taste-price-ratio = unbeatable, very nice staff.
marriott's hotel view bar - spinning up high (360° moving restaurant) between skyscrapers surrounding times square.
recommended city walking: go walk brooklyn bridge early. take subway to ferries, get on the boat for the statue, stay on the boat until ellis island: see the path of immigration to the usa. take the ferry back, walk wall street and see ground zero.
