This geometrically shaped neighborhood is called TriBeCa for short. It stands for Triangle Beneath Canal Street.

It’s also a relatively safer and quieter part of downtown Manhattan — full of luxury living spaces (that come at a cost), but not crowded sidewalks. Those searching for a friendly, community feel in a metropolitan setting may find themselves at home in Tribeca.

Our top Tribeca moving tips
Some people say it’s a triangle. Others say it’s more of a trapezoid shape. What’s also debated, but generally accepted, are the bounds of the neighborhood itself.
From East to West, it spans from the Hudson River to Broadway and is flanked by Chinatown. From North to South, it stretches from Canal Street to about Vesey Street. It’s topped by SoHo and the Financial District bumps up against the southern border.
There’s so much more to know about Tribeca beyond its bounds, so here’s a few additional details to get you acquainted:
- Arts and culture: Even though this neighborhood may have a slower pace than other parts of lower Manhattan, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot to see. Outfitted with many industrial buildings from a time where the neighborhood housed a wholesale food market, the structures are ideal for art galleries. In fact there are around 41 of them, including Theta (with it’s entrance through a basement vault hatch) on Franklin Street, and Chapter NY on Walker Street. If moving pictures are the type of art you appreciate the most, you’d be remiss to miss the annual Tribeca Film Festival which found its home in the area after the September 11th attacks in an effort to restore the spirit of the city.
- Historic districts and architecture: The artistry can also be found on the outsides of the buildings as well. The neighborhood has a number of pre-Civil War buildings featuring Neo-Grec designs and cast iron facades. In fact, the city’s Landmark Preservation Commission has designated 5 historic districts (Tribeca North, Tribeca South, Tribeca South Extension, Tribeca West, and Tribeca East) within the neighborhood to preserve the historical exteriors block by block. Mixed in with the old brick and mortar are the newer structural standouts, such as 56 Leonard Street which looks a lot like a tall stack of glass blocks. The building at 12 Warren Street, with its giant carved quarry stones, also has that stacked appearance with random blocks jutting out into the sky.
- Cost of living: On the low-end of what it costs to live in Tribeca, it’s worth noting what is the same across the city. Being in lower Manhattan, public transportation options from the city’s Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) are plentiful so you don’t have to spend a lot to get around. And, at $2.75 per one-way ride, it’s a pretty economical way to get around a major metropolitan map. Whether shopping is a favorite past-time or you mostly just pick up the essentials, it’s good to factor in the combined city and state sales tax, at 8.875%, to your final bill. Another cost you’ll encounter is for housing. Pre-war walk ups in the area may cost less, but the same type of buildings will be cheaper in other neighborhoods. That said, it’s noted that living spaces in Tribeca are a bit larger than surrounding areas. What’ll these cost you? If you’re in the market to rent, you’ll notice the average monthly cost is around $5,295 for a one-bedroom apartment. To own one of the architectural addresses in this part of the city is quite a bit more than in other parts of Manhattan. The median listing price for homes are around $4.7 million and the median price per square foot is at $2k. To top off these prices with another inexpensive way to get around: purchasing a pair of comfortable walking shoes. Being in this area puts you within easy walking distance of other great places to visit: West Village, Chinatown, and the Financial District to name a few.
- Dining in the triangle: For every person, every occasion, and every craving, there’s a spot in Tribeca that’ll serve up something tasty. If you live for brunch with your pals, Locanda Verde serves up Italian fare with a side of the potential for a celebrity sighting. Speaking of famous folks, a stop at the legendary local hangout The Odeon will have you looking for the same seats that Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and your favorite former SNL cast members used. For a more intimate setting if you’re going on a date, you might consider Frenchette for a buttery and wine-focused feast just right for romance. Or, if date night has been rescheduled due to the big game, the sports bar that has it all: beer, bites, and ball is Puffy’s Tavern. If you’re like plenty of New Yorkers who can enjoy a bagel any time of day, you may want to inform your vote for the best bagel in the city by hitting up Zucker’s Bagels & Smoked Fish on Chambers Street. Perhaps you’ll be wooed by their Max Zucker signature sandwich: smoked whitefish salad, beefsteak tomato slices, and red onion on your choice of circular dough. No matter where you place your fork though, you’re bound to get a great bite.
- Spending your free time: New Yorkers work hard, so they can enjoy their free time in this great city. In Tribeca specifically, there’s plenty to do that’s worth cashing in your recreational time. For starters, Poets House on River Terrace is a poetry library and community space dedicated to poets sharing their work with one another. Continuing on a literary journey, visiting the Mysterious Bookshop, that specializes in mystery fiction, can be just the thing to fill up your bookshelves with new thrillers and crime novels if you find they’re lacking. If you’re ready to put pen to paper yourself, you may find a trip to the Fountain Pen Hospital a charming stop. There, you’ll find vintage writing implements, ink, and even repair services for your favorite fancy pens. No matter if you’re seeking inspiration for your next creative endeavor or respite from the busy city life, the nearby Hudson River Park may be just the spots you’re looking for. The Park’s Pier 25 is closest to the neighborhood and is home to an 18-hole miniature golf course, playgrounds, a skatepark, and volleyball courts if you’re ready to play. It’s also a great place to watch the water and take views of the sailboats.
