I don’t think SOHO (acronymic shopping mecca) is technically an acronym since the Os do not stand for separate words. I originally guessed IKEA for this one since that actually is an acronym which threw me off for a while. Also I agree with the consensus here. This was particularly tricky even for a Saturday puzzle. More like an old NYT puzzle in that you couldn’t really guess on the hard ones if you didn’t know the trivia.
