Sneak Peek Inside SoHo North
Across 124th Street from the rumored W Hotel parking lot, around the corner from Harlem Flo and with The Dwyer viewable from the living room windows stands SoHo North, 11 two bedroom condos in a former warehouse.

Cheryl and I dropped by for a look. Photos are after the jump.
Here is the lobby. When complete, I imagine that the wall currently with only four spikes will ultimately have many more spikes, and it will inch toward you when you hit the elevator button, giving you just enough time to slip into the elevator when the doors open before being impaled. I am sure there is a manual override switch, so in case you don't like your guests the elevator doors won't open.

First in, we have the model apartment's kitchen. Wolf stove? Check. Sub-Zero refrigerator? Check. Stone countertops? Check. Plant in the sink? Why not? It might be there to demonstrate the InSinkErator disposal.

Next up we have the living room. This is not a shot of the model apartment's living room, which for some reason I did not take a photo of, but that of the unit one floor above. Nonetheless, this gives you the general idea. The fireplace is gas, not WBFP, so cozy winter nights come at the flick of a switch, not after a long and sometimes fruitless search for wood. The floor is white oak, as it is throughout the unit.

Then, we have the general bathroom. Although it has a single vanity, it does have a separate shower and bathtub, which I very much enjoy. In both bathing areas, the nozzles are complex enough to provide basic self-cleaning and 1950's era hydrotherapy sessions.

Finally, we have the master bedroom and bath. This MB features a window, although some have a door that opens onto a sliver of balcony. The master bath has a double vanity as well as a separate shower and tub, so theoretically two people could bathe and ready themselves without ever touching.

The name sucks big time. It's just the kind of pretentious crap that old school Harlemites like myself hate about the "new crowd".

The spikes will accommodate a seat panel.

That name changing shit again. White people must always change the area that they infect when they enter a area. NOHA

Whatever they say the meaning of name changes mean changes for the worst for longtime Harlem residents

new neighborhood name changes are happening all over the city... it has nothing to do with race. If you keep treating Harlem like it is it's own country , then things will never get better...
Not allowing change is insanity....
Allowing the police to look the other way when churches turn multi lane streets into parking lots when churchgoers are allowed to legally double park is insanity...
Allowing blocks of blocks of PROJECTS to remain in one area that will continue to infect the area is insanity....
GET RID OF THE PROJECTS!!!!
