SoHo


The boundaries of SoHo, as defined here, are Canal to Houston, and Sixth Avenue to Lafayette. So, besides Toad Hall, this is the only other (bar) pool table that I know of in SoHo proper. It's at a place called Milady's, located at Prince and Thompson Streets. I had long been aware of both Milady's and Toad Hall. But last year I came across the website of an architectural photographer who had taken a killer photo of a full-size pool table in really chic nightclub-type place. The caption for the photo simply read "Soho" (lowercase h). I was dying to know where it was taken, especially because the photographer was based in New York. So I called him up and asked. Unfortunately, it was not on Mercer or Greene as I had hoped. It was taken in London.

I've never played on the table at Milady's, but I have been to the bar a few times. Not too long ago I stopped in, but the place was packed and I left. I was walking by recently and shot this picture through the window. At least there's a person in the photo. I've been in a rut lately where I go to check out a pool table and nobody's playing. I'll post some of those pictures soon.
