What part of New York City got its name because it lies south of Houston Street?
Correct answer: SoHo

mostly right except that soho is not 'south of ho' but south of Houston (street) pronounced 'house'ton by NYers

I grew up on Long Island but had no idea how those neighborhoods got their names. Very interesting.

I sure didn't know any of the back stories of the areas mentioned above.
When time travel becomes more mainstream I want to go to NYC in the mid '40's! Now that would be a real kick!

I lived in NYC from 1998-2001 & loved every block of it. I would get home from work at 10pm, eat something, nap until 1am then head out for the night!

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I was always impressed by the architecture in all five boroughs, from the time I was a little kid.❤

New York is now known for disrespectful illegal immigrants they trashed the five star hotels they were staying for free and attack people on the streets, contribute nothing to the city it is costing New York billions and growing a year they asked to come to Sanctuary cities like New York illegal immigrants get priority over United States citizens so politicians can get more votes

Player #184169, isn't that what the question said?

Colorado has joined the nickname bandwagon: RINO for RIver NOrth and LODO for LOwer DOwntown in Denver, and FOCO in NOCO for FOrt COllins in NOrthern COlorado for example.

I didn't know this one. I have gotten most of these questions right. I need to look into this more. I'm not sure if I really want to visit New York though. Crime rates are high there and the state is really big in population. I wonder how many New Yorkers play this game🤔

Crowsflight, always amazed me how late y'all would eat and how equally y'all would stay out at the clubs. I'd be falling asleep at the bar while my friends who lived there were only getting started!

This question was really neat. I only visited New York once but the only thing other than Manhattan that I know about New York is Soho that's the only reason I picked it but I love getting the explanation of these answers!!!
