Heading back across the highway brings us into the hood known as TriBeca. It goes from Chambers to Canal St between Broadway and the Hudson River. This hood is mostly residential. It wasn't until the early 1700's that this area started to get settled when houses in the Federal style were built along Harrison St by John McComb, Jr, and more came in the 1800's. The canal seperated from the rest of Manhattan, and was used as a rout for ships. Its original name was the Lower West Side, as opposed to the Lower East Side. Factories were errected and it became an industrial area. A few cast iron lofts were errected not too long after the US Civil War on White St by Henry Fernbach. As the el was invented on Greenwhich St, it brought more people to the Lower West Side, which would last until it's demolition of the 6th Ave El in the 1930's. By 1900, the Lower West Side became popular especially with the Washington Market In 1924, the city rezoned the streets, and 6th Ave got its start around Church/Franklin Sts after the construction of the IND subway line. In the 1930's, the Holland Tunnel was errected to connect it to NJ along with the Miller Hwy. The 1960's starting to bring changes to this area. Urban renewal had made numerous places face demolition. The construction of the WTC caused numerous streets to dissapear as well as the Washington Market. In 1975, a complex known as Independence Plaza was errected and also erased a number streets as well as the Borough of Manhattan CC in 1980. In 1983, Washington Market Pk was planted to provide culturism. In 1990, TriBeCa got it's tallest building, which is the TriBeCa Tower, located on Duane St near Broadway. A number of the old houses and lofts were converted into new apartments, resturaunts, and art galleries. The name TriBeCa came from the fact that it was like a Triangle Below Canal St, which stuck to it. Today, TriBeCa is regaurded as one of the most essential hoods of lower Manhattan. Rudi Stern's Let There Be Neon Gallery can be seen at 38 White St. The Tribeca Grand Hotel is one of the city's most prestigous hotels. Celebrities like JFK, Jr (died), David Letterman, and Robert de Niro reside here. Filmakers from all over come to the TriBeCa Ctr for Performing Arts for the annual TriBeCa Film Festival. St John's University has its Manhattan campus here. There are some new projects rising up right now. You can get here by taking the No 1, 2, or 3 trains of the subway to Chambers, Franklin or Canal Sts. Other than that, this is a very nice place. Here is what you will find in TriBeCa.

More too come...

nice work!

amazing! don't forget to post them in the new york city forum!

I was at a kickass rooftop bar down there on Friday... it's a neat hood.

Nice mix of industrial and residential, proving once again (like SoHo before it) that it can be done.

Too bad about the parking lots. TriBeCa could use a few taller buildings. The new buildings along West Street suck.

This is said to be New York's most expensive 'hood for housing. Goes to show: that industrial chic draws in the yuppies. Or maybe it's Robert deNiro and the ghost of JFK, Jr.

The large footbrints of most buildings give it a kind of galumphing scale that contrasts with the much finer-grained West Village just to the north. Still needs work, but the NIMBYs here are really BANANAs; they don't want anything built. Maybe that explains all the parking lots. Strange priorities.

Better to be late than never, here is the rest of TriBeCa.
