Neighborhood Highlights
TriBeCa’s historic east district is reminiscent of SoHo before its outdoor mall vibe came to be and its streets became packed with tourists. Beautiful landmarked cast iron buildings filled with art galleries and similar creative outlets at street level with true loft spaces tucked away in the floors above in which true NYer’s reside. There’s so much to discover that, upon first glance, is easily overlooked upon a quick stroll through.
