Manhattan’s Art Walk Paints in SoHo

SoHo’s streets brushed last night with Manhattan’s Spring Art Walk, coloring NYC’s core. Guide Lena Carter led 100 past galleries on Spring, a $20 tour of fresh works. It’s borough strokes—free vibes, pure SoHo soul. A kid gaped at a mural; a pro snapped a frame. ‘Manhattan arts—this is it,’ Carter says, pointing hues. The blocks turned canvas.

The walk’s hot—weekly since March, it tripled since ’24, packing curbs by 6 p.m. Carter’s a LES painter; last night’s crowd hit max—oils glowed. A latecomer tagged along; rain flecked—NYC grit shone. Stops hit 10 spots—creativity ruled. #SoHoArtWalk trended; Brooklyn’s jealous.

Some griped—’Too artsy,’ sniped a skeptic, dodging frames. Legs tired—two hours stung; beauty held. A rival’s pitching a Chelsea stroll, splitting brushes. Still, 120 begged next—art reigned. SoHo’s never painted so bold.

Carter’s teasing a night run, maybe a rooftop if spring bites. ‘NYC’s soul—this frames it,’ she says, folding maps. The walk’s a Manhattan win—grit meets hue. It’s an art trek; join the line. Bring a lens—colors pop.
