About Tribeca

Tribeca is a beautiful mix of glassy residential buildings and classic old brownstones in Lower Manhattan. The term “Tribeca” stands for “Triangle Below Canal Street,” even though the neighborhood is shaped more closely to a trapezoid. This part of the city used to be an industrial hub, but many of the warehouses have been converted into lofts, which can provide large living spaces within the tight neighborhood blocks. There are also museums, parks, and world-class shopping within walking distance. The neighborhood is also known for hosting the annual Tribeca Film Festival, where people from around the world come to celebrate the art of filmmaking.

Around Tribeca

Tribeca is sandwiched between the nightlife-filled neighborhood of SoHo and the Financial District. On the southern tip of the neighborhood sits the tallest skyscraper in New York City, One World Trade. The Hudson River flows past the west side of Tribeca allowing for waterfront properties. A mix of high-rise buildings, lofts, and townhouses can be found along the tree-lined streets. The east side of the neighborhood follows Broadway with shops and restaurants at street level and apartments above. Tribeca also contains some of the best public schools in New York City.

New York City is a true melting pot of cultures, and Tribeca is no different. Living here means you have access to cuisine from around the world. Most eateries are found in the northern and central parts of the neighborhood. On Church Street, you’ll find contemporary Japanese cuisine at Shigure. If you’re in the mood for some flavorful French food then head down White Street to find the Michelin-starred restaurant Bâtard. Closer to the Hudson River is Scalini Fedeli where you can have an elegant Tuscan meal under vaulted ceilings. There is also no shortage of New York-style diners and delis in the area—so whatever you’re in the mood for, you won’t have to leave the neighborhood to find it.

One of the biggest draws for living in Tribeca is the greenery and access to the waterfront. The crisscrossing streets are kept clean for a big city and there are greenspaces every few blocks. Walking along the Hudson, you’ll see families playing in Rockefeller Park, as well as people sitting outside cafes sipping coffee while reading a book. Early mornings during the workweek are filled with people in pressed suits and fluttering dresses rushing to the subway, while weekends are quiet and the hustle of the city life seems to have completely disappeared.

Although Tribeca doesn’t get as rowdy at night as other neighborhoods in New York City, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a nightlife. Get a bunch of friends together for a cocktail at Brandy Library on Moore Street, where mixologists craft specialty drinks that are works of art. If you’re looking to dance the night away on a Friday night, there are several clubs tucked away towards the south of Tribeca. For a quieter night, enjoy a nice meal at one of the many restaurants on Hudson Street and then take a leisurely stroll along the Hudson River.

Grab a cup of coffee at Cafe Atelier and walk over to Pier 25 at Hudson River Park, which overlooks the river. Then head over to Broadway Street and enjoy some brunch and mimosas at one of the many local eateries. Enjoy some time people watching in Washington Market Park as you take in the scenic views of freshly bloomed tulips. Catch a movie at the long-standing Roxy Cinema to celebrate the history of the neighborhood’s film festival. End the night with some of the best tacos in the city at Los Tacos No. 1 on Church Street and watch the sunset from Rockefeller Park.

Tribeca has several forms of public transportation. All public transportation in New York City is run by the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). Residents can get anywhere in the city by catching the A, C, and E trains at the Canal Street Station; the 1, 2, and 3 trains at the Franklin Street, Chambers Street, and Park Place stations; or the N, W, R at the City Hall stop. There is also the M20 bus that goes up and downtown, and the M22 bus that goes crosstown if you’re not in the mood to go underground on the subway. If you want to spend the day across the Hudson in New Jersey, the Brookfield Place Terminal can ferry you across the river. The neighborhood also offers bike-sharing programs like Citi Bike rentals as well as Revel scooters to get around and outside of the neighborhood. If you need time out of the city, the E line at the Canal Street station can take you all the way to JFK International Airport.
