History
An abbreviation of “Triangle Below Canal,” TriBeCa is an eclectic downtown New York area home to everything from fashion and art to finance and residences. Just south of Canal Street, TriBeCa is a few blocks east of the Hudson River, east of bustling Broadway, and north of Vesey Street.
The area’s beginnings as agricultural and then commercial centre date back to the 1850s, confirming TriBeCa as one of New York City’s oldest districts.
Though its historical roots go deep, as evidenced by its old industrial architecture and charming cobblestone streets, TriBeCa has become one of downtown’s trendiest scenes. Once a refuge for artists escaping from uptown during the 70s and 80s, its vast former industrial spaces are now multi-million dollar loft residences that attract New York’s wealthiest and most famous inhabitants.
A walk through the neighbourhood demonstrates just how diverse the neighbourhood is, boasting everything from fine art galleries and design stores to time-tested dining establishments and vibrant nightlife. As one of the first downtown luxury hotels in Manhattan, Tribeca Grand opened its doors in May 2000, confirming the area as a district that offers every aspect of the downtown experience one could desire. Of all of the New York hotels, its location is unparalleled. Near classic New York areas such as Wall Street and Ground Zero, its proximity to all subway train lines means must-see attractions like Times Square, MoMA, and the Theatre District are only a few stops away.
