SoHo luggage storage

All about SoHo luggage storage

Anyone of a certain age can picture SoHo’s glitzy nightclubs and luxurious boutiques oft-visited by the Sex and the City gang. And although Brooklyn has been the buzziest mover in New York these past few years, SoHo remains a vital hub for fashion and culture. As crazy as it sounds, SoHo is an underrated dining destination. But the shopping is famously great and is a bucket-list destination for anyone interested in fashion. 

Artist lofts that were considered edgy in the 1970s have since become some of the most valuable properties in the world, and the retail offerings of designer boutiques and art galleries certainly cater to well-heeled locals and travelers alike. Even if you’re a budget-minded traveler, it's worth walking through Broadway or Prince Street to window shop and people watch. 

Short for "South of Houston Street", SoHo is one of Manhattan’s central neighborhoods and is easily reached via multiple subway lines. It’s walkable from half a dozen other Manhattan neighborhoods and fits seamlessly into any NYC itinerary. 

Even on a travel day, you’ll be able to reach SoHo from the airport or Penn Station to get your trip started. You can even book SoHo luggage storage with Bounce to free your hands up for shopping and sightseeing. We make luggage storage work for everyone, so you'll always find a convenient solution nearby.

Getting around SoHo 

Navigating Manhattan is daunting but doable because of its wonderful public transit system, and SoHo benefits from the subway more than most areas of New York City. If you pack the right shoes, SoHo is also walkable from Chelsea, the West Village, Nolita, Chinatown, Tribeca, and even parts of Midtown Manhattan. If you’re taking the subway or walking into the neighborhood for some shopping, you’ll want to find luggage storage with Bounce to get around more easily. 

SoHo train connections 

There isn’t a major train station located in SoHo, but Penn Station is 20 minutes away using the #1 Subway line providing connections via Amtrak to cities across the East Coast. Penn Station has lockers onsite, but these are generally inconvenient and pricey for travelers looking to poke around Manhattan for the day. 

Taking the subway to SoHo 

SoHo is well-served by the NYC Subway via the Spring Street, Prince Street, and Houston Street stations. 

• A, C, and E Trains: Times Square (15 minutes), Madison Square Garden (13 minutes) 
• D Train: Central Park (30 minutes), Yankee Stadium (40 minutes) 
• 1 Train: Penn Station (20 minutes) 
• 2 Train: Brooklyn Heights (20 minutes) 
• J Train: Williamsburg (25 minutes) 

Taking the bus from SoHo 

The bus is barely a factor for reaching SoHo from other parts of Manhattan, but the crosstown M21 on Houston Street can be useful in a pinch. The M1 and M55 routes run north to south through SoHo, as well. 

Getting to SoHo from the airport 

You'll be able to reach SoHo relatively east from the airports serving New York City. Of course, it will take a while through public transportation. If you're heading into SoHo during a layover, investing in a luggage storage service is a great way to maximize your time.

• JFK Airport: It takes about 80 minutes to reach SoHo from JFK via the Q7 Bus to the C Train (transfer at Euclid Avenue in Brooklyn). 
• LaGuardia Airport: You can take the Q70 Shuttle bus from the LaGuardia arrivals terminal to Roosevelt Avenue before transferring to the F Train that runs directly to SoHo. The whole trip takes just under an hour. 
• Newark: You can take the #1 subway to New York Penn Station from Soho, then transfer to the NJ Transit train to reach Newark Airport.
