Neighborhood Guide
Tribeca (which stands for Triangle-Below-Canal) extends south of Canal Street, down to Barclay Street, between Broadway and the Hudson River. The area is made up of lofts, once used for light manufacturing and warehouses, which have slowly been converted into luxury rental and loft condo buildings. Although TriBeCa boosts such famous residents as Harvey Keitel, Robert De Niro and Mariah Carey, it is mostly populated by professionals in their 'forties and up'. Tribeca has many high priced, fashionable restaurants and clubs as well as its share of avant-garde clothing, design shops and galleries. Many of the top restaurants in town can be found here. Such famous places as Nobu on Hudson and Montrachet on West Broadway are in Tribeca. Tribeca is safe, has great schools and is no more than 15 minutes from Midtown.
