SoHo is an art district like Pixie says, except that it has struggling as well as accomplished artists, JFK jr used to live there and movie superstars can be seen in bookstores sipping coffee from time to time.. some live there many just preform there in the evenings while holding down regular day jobs and living in other parts of the city. Lots of bands, rock, jazz, etc. get their start in SoHo, as well as artists which use the visual media, comedy, singers, as well as clothing to express themselves. It's called the Flat-iron district and offers bookstores, galleries, off-Broadway productions and many popular nightspots for the young as well as the 'well to do'.

Ground Zero is a construction area at the moment. Both a symbol of tragedy and hope for many, fascinating to watch as they put up about 2 floors a week in the construction of the Freedom Tower. It is located in NY's Financial district, where millions are made and lost in seconds. There's a marina nearby which offers water taxis to New Jersey and outdoor restaurants overlooking the Hudson, very nice during the summer. It's usually one of my first stops when I visit the city as my DW is a professional who works there in one of those tall skyscrapers. (I feel uneasy looking down from up there so I usually meet her in the lobby (lol!).
