The Bodega

I recently received an email from the writer Laura Tucker who told me that she had used stories from SoHo Memory Project as part of her research in writing her new middle-grade novel All the Greys on Greene Street, set in 1981 SoHo, that The New York Times called "a brilliant debut." I couldn’t put it down. I read it in one sitting!

Ever since I put out a call for SoHo photos, I've received all kinds of images, of people, places, events from the 1970s through the present. I've included a selection below, the beginning of what I hope turns into a much larger collection that encompasses as many SoHo stories as possible.

Happy summer everyone! Thanks to all of you who have shared their SoHo stories over the  years (those of you who have not yet filled one out, click on the link above to submit one).  It’s been great to read your memories of old SoHo.  I thought I’d share some of them here anonymously.
