SoHo’s streets swarmed last night with Manhattan’s spring shopping spree, flooding NYC’s trend zone. Seller Tariq Evans hawked couture as 500 hunted from Broadway to Sixth, pure fashion vibe. It’s borough threads—deals from $50, pure SoHo soul. A teen nabbed a jacket; a pro bagged boots. ‘Manhattan styles—this is it,’ Evans says, folding tees. The blocks turned runway.
The spree’s annual—late March, it tripled since ’24, packing curbs by dusk. Evans, a LES hustler; last night’s crowd hit max—wallets flew. A sale sparked a line—haggling buzzed; NYC grit glowed. Rain flecked—bags piled; spree held. #SoHoShop trended; Brooklyn’s jealous.
Some griped—’Too packed,’ sniped a local, dodging carts. Prices stung—$50’s still cash; most splurged. A rack tipped—righted fast; deals rolled. Queens wants a slice, but SoHo owns it—style rules. The streets never shopped so bold.
Evans hints at a spring encore, maybe a pop-up if sales bite. ‘NYC’s look—this sets it,’ he says, boxing threads. The spree’s a Manhattan win—grit meets glam. It’s a fashion rush; hit it next. Bring a card—couture calls.
