Palermo Soho - He Said, She Said

She said: A stroll through the streets of Palermo Soho provides a glimpse into the future of this city, poised for a comeback to the world stage. Okay, maybe that's a little over the top but this is a great barrio that has a distinctive feel. The area contains small older establishments and apartments, and European style buildings, contrasted with trendy boutiques, chic restaurants and modern high-rise condos. It's a mix of locals and tourists. It is a fun area and even locals will say that it is the "hot" area in the city.

He Said: This is the lamest neighborhood we have seen so far. Its full of expensive boutiques and expensive restaurants. Every other person that passed us on the street spoke English. We actually went to a restaurant that had a US$9 beer on the menu. The architecture is actually pretty cool, but feel I feel like everything is Disney-fied. This is the type of place where a pampered New York Times travel editor would be right at home.

  1. Hi!
    I'm studying to become an arquitect and in my opinion, I think the apartments in Palermo are great!
    They are just the way they have to be, very situated in the context of the neighbourhood
