5th Annual Meeting of SoHo Broadway Initiative
On Monday, April 22, the SoHo Broadway Initiative celebrated Earth Day with a block party on Howard Street between Broadway and Mercer Street.

Save the Date! The SoHo Broadway Initiative’s 2019 Annual Meeting is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, June 18.
