Neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City

A former industrial district in Lower Manhattan, TriBeCa, short for "Triangle Below Canal Street", has transformed from artist community to upscale residential district in the 21st century. Sitting on the Hudson River and sandwiched between Canal and Chambers Streets west of Broadway, the neighborhood's cobblestone streets and loft buildings give it a surprisingly quaint feel for Manhattan. Nevertheless, numerous art galleries, fine restaurants, and a growing film festival have brought an element of prestige to this old port neighborhood.

One of the oldest and most famous of New York's skyscrapers (dubbed the "Cathedral of Commerce"), the neo-Gothic Woolworth Building was completed in 1913 and was the world's tallest building until 1930. The building has a beautiful ornate lobby. Tours are no longer offered
Ghostbusters firehouse
The firehouse used for exterior shots in the movie Ghostbusters.
Walk along the Hudson River and enjoy the breezes, views, and people-watching.
Great place for kids to play, to enjoy a nice picnic, or just sit back and relax. There is plenty of playing equipment for children, as well as organized games and arts and crafts. Hosting birthday parties is very popular in this park for those who are interested in renting out the gazebo. In the summer, bands will often play music in the gazebo for the older generations. The park is small and safe.
One of the more affordable restaurants in Tribeca, this place caters to families and those who don't mind sitting next to high chairs. They do indeed have a wonderful variety of pies on any given day, one of the best cheeseburgers in town, and an interesting choice of beers.
A ninja-themed restaurant with dark hallways, sneaky ninja/waiters with swords, and many elaborate dishes that involve smoke or fire. Caution: Many who have eaten there don't recommend the food, so if you go, go for the experience.
An inexpensive diner; a neighborhood institution.
Clean, comfortable rooms with private bath and color television, plus wireless internet at a reasonable price.
Gorgeous, trendy hotel. Not for the light-walleted.
The Garden Inn has a slightly dated chain hotel feel, but a reasonably nice restaurant and a strategic location. Rooms feature the usual conveniences found in midscale hotels, enhanced with a microwave and fridge that could be convenient for self-caterers, who will also find a hotel "pantry" with convenience food items for sale in the lobby.
The five-star boutique member of The Leading Hotels of the World takes "olde-worlde" charm to a new level in its rooms, but offers truly pampering service and a number of amenities unexpected for a hotel of only 88 rooms, including a reasonably-sized pool, Japanese spa and quite spacious gym.
