First off, SoHo = (South – uth) + (Howard – ward). In other words, SoHo gets its name from the street South Howard. While SoHo may be named after one street it is quickly growing into one of South Tampa’s hottest neighborhoods for Twentysomethings. Practically the entire length of the street, which runs from Kennedy Blvd. all the way down to Bayshore, is littered with vibrant night life, varied cuisine and attractive Twentysomethings.
