The acronym stands for Triangle Below Canal Street, which makes its immediate neighbour hip SoHo. TriBeCa today is also synonymous with the Robert De Niro-initiated annual film festival, first started in 2002.
Like SoHo, TriBeCa also has its fair share of cast -iron buildings and pretty cobbled streets. Harrison Street and White Street are its finest rows of preserved, elegant town houses, which are very picturesque. Towards the end of the 1980s, artists who had previously lived in SoHo found themselves priced out of the market and moved into TriBeCa. Consequently, although gentrification is now taking place in this tiny neighbourhood, it's filled with recording studios, artists' residences, galleries and graphics businesses. The area's biggest artistic coup was when the TriBeCa Film Center opened at 375 Greenwich Street, which is part-owned by Robert De Niro and includes movie production offices and screening rooms.
The businesses that have sprung up as a result of the film center make this one of the most exciting areas of the city to experience; The TriBeCa Grill on the ground floor is where movie movers and shakers eat, and is a great place for hanging out if you can afford the prices. The TriBeCa Grand Hotel, an uber-hip boutique hotel set in a triangular building, is where movie moguls lay their heads. As well as a magnet for the new and fashionable, TriBeCa also has some historic places of merit, including the Morgan Library. This was created by the area's most famous resident, multimillionaire financier JP Morgan, who knocked through his neighbouring brownstone to expand his library. Today it houses his unique collection of manuscripts, paintings, prints and furniture.
