Welcome to Tribeca
Tribeca is a juxtaposition — family-oriented but trendy and artistic, a booming nightlife with fairly quiet streets, an amazing place to make a home in the heart of a busy and crowded city.
Once industrial and full of warehouses, Tribeca is home to artists, actors, and other creatives who seek inspiration from the plentiful parks and beautiful, older buildings in the neighborhood. Those abandoned warehouses have since been renovated into expansive loft spaces with stellar views, and signs of industry have been incorporated into cozy and welcoming bars and restaurants, where chefs and bartenders can get creative with artisan ingredients and international influences.
While Bohemia has definite influences, Tribeca is also well-known as a family neighborhood. The district has some of the best liberal arts schools in New York, including renowned Stuyvesant High School, and plenty of opportunities for children to find and discover their passions. The affluent residents can embrace the opportunity to expose their families to different cultures, as well as all mediums of art to stimulate the expansion of the mind.

Local Lifestyle
The artsy, hipster neighborhood of Tribeca is a popular area among celebrities and creatives, while the numerous parks and green spaces draw families to the area. The streets are generally not overly full, providing an almost suburban ambiance to city living, but the craft bars, unique restaurants, and artisan shops mean there is always plenty to do.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Tribeca is full of shopping options from small artisan shops to bigger, well-known brands. Issey Miyake provides high-quality menswear, and nearby is Shinola, offering designer watches and other accessories. Find rare and out-of-print books at the Mysterious Bookshop, where browsing the shelves can feel like a treasure hunt. Jenni Kayne’s store has everything you need to inject your personality into your home, from furniture to the perfect throw pillow.
Food is a passion in Tribeca, where so many foodies reside. Frenchette is a popular spot, with French dishes such as poulet roti, as is Odeon on Broadway, where the menu includes a pan-seared salmon dish that is delectable. If you’re in the mood for Italian, Gran Morsi is a favorite, serving classic Italian recipes from pizza to veal marsala.
For after-dinner drinks, Weather Up is a cozy spot with craft cocktails on the menu, or pair drinks with comedy at the Dark Horse Comedy Club, where top comedians will have you rolling in the aisle.
Things to Do
As an artsy district, it’s no surprise that Tribeca has more than its fair share of creative pursuits. Muse Paint Bar allows patrons to try their hand at painting a masterpiece while sipping on beer or wine from their small bar. Fans of the performing arts will love seeing a show at the Flea, a theater that focuses on edgy and innovative productions created by minority artists. Every year, Tribeca, and more specifically Tribeca Film Center, is home to the Tribeca Film Festival, one of the most popular events in the world.
Hudson River Park runs the length of Tribeca, providing every resident with extensive green space and room to bask in the outdoors. Sports fields and bicycle paths make it easier to get your heart rate up, and or get a break from the summer heat by taking a boat out on the water. The Tribeca Dog Run even lets furry family members get in on the fun.
For those who need quiet respite, the Nexus Club’s exclusive membership provides access to the luxurious building. Inside, guests find a simulation sports facility to practice their golf swing, various restaurants, and a top-shelf bar for those who want to network over drinks. Members can also take advantage of the spa and eliminate the stress of the workweek with a deep tissue massage.
