Tribeca, which technically stands for “Triangle Below Canal Street,” is a combination of industrial sensibility and simple sophistication. While the renovated lofts and luxury buildings are a celebrity favorite, Tribeca is far from stuffy; downtown cool is a part of the fabric of this spacious and chic neighborhood. Art thrives in Tribeca with galleries of all sizes. The Tribeca Film Festival has become an institution, an event where upcoming and established filmmakers alike can exhibit their films under the bright city lights. However, it’s not an unending blitz of glitz and glamour — while distinctly metropolitan, Tribeca offers a mellower alternative to the bustle.
