Tribeca
Neighborhood Overview:
Tribeca (which stands for Triangle-Below-Canal) extends south of Canal Street,
down to Barclay Street, between Broadway and the Hudson River. Populated mostly
by professionals working in the Financial District, Tribeca is home to an impressive
number of high-end restaurants and chic clubs. Robert DeNiro, perhaps its most
famous resident, runs his Tribeca Productions film company from the heart of the
neighborhood. Like its northern neighbor Soho, Tribeca is no stranger to art galleries
and upscale clothing boutiques. A beautiful, wealthy neighborhood, with fewer
crowds than some of the surrounding areas. Housing; Tribeca is known for its spacious
loft apartments, housed in buildings once used for light manufacturing and warehousing.
Over the last twenty years, most of these industrial buildings have been renovated
and transformed into luxury rentals and condos. Restaurants; Some of the best-known
restaurants in New York are in Tribeca. Nobu, Montrachet, and Chanterelle: the
neighborhood eateries draw crowds from all over the world. But lest you think
that every joint in the area is a wallet-buster, fear not – there are plenty
of casual dining options as well. Arts/Entertainment; Like its restaurants and
stores, Tribeca’s bars draw a chic, upscale crowd. This is where the city’s
movers and shakers come to relax. If it’s more refined entertainment you
want, the area has a respectable number of off-Broadway playhouses, the Tribeca
Performing Arts Center, and the ever more popular annual Tribeca Film Festival.
Or, head to the Knitting Factory on any given night to check out Subways; 1, 2,
3, 9, A, C, E Great Outdoors; While it may not have a major park, Tribeca boasts
a good stretch of waterfront, including an exercise path that attracts runners,
bikers and dog walkers in equal measure. The Future; Many of the residential buildings
in Tribeca qualify for post-9/11 rent relief, so expect this neighborhood to continue
growing.
