Julia has lived in SoHo for 81 years. She says the block (where I lived for the week) on Thompson between Prince and Spring is the best block in all of New York City. You can find her “sitting out” at the Porto Rico Coffee roasters shop, which has been around for over 100 years and one of last remaining vestiges of this historic neighborhood.
She says, “even if they gave me a mansion, I wouldn’t leave my apartment.”
