Soho Tribeca
Soho / TribecaReferred to as recently as the 1960s, ‘70s, and ‘80s by the vaguely unattractive (yet loving :) nickname "Hell's Hundred Acres", SoHo, the New York neighborhood "South of Houston" Street, has developed into one of Manhattan's trendiest. With its diverse and funky shops, its galleries, bars and bistros, SoHo has also been transformed into one of the city's top residential and tourist destinations. Which in turn feeds the shops, galleries, bars and bistros...which in turn, raises prices across the board. Although the high cost of living has forced many of the down-and-out creative types to migrate north-west to Chelsea or south to Tribeca, SoHo does still have more than its fair share of cutting-edge artists and designers rubbing shoulders with über-hip storefronts and beautiful people. It also has some great New York specialty shops, such as Dean & Deluca on the corner of Broadway and Prince Street, and is home to several new museums - including the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum for African Art, and Guggenheim SoHo. With much of its 19th-century architecture and cobblestone streets still intact, the entire neighborhood is the city's only landmarked district. To the south and west of SoHo lies Tribeca (which stands for the "Triangle-Below-Canal" Street). A largely undeveloped market area that was almost devoid of full-time residents just two decades ago, Tribeca has similarly been transformed into one of the hottest and hippest places to call Home in Manhattan. As sky-rocketing rents in SoHo forced artists to move south, Tribeca became the new epicenter of creative and culinary life Downtown. Tribeca today is not only home to the impossibly hip Nobu restaurant and Odeon (immortalized in--and little changed from--the Jay McInerney novel "Bright Lights, Big City"), but also the Tribeca Fim Center, Robert DeNiro himself, and his five year-old Tribeca Film Festival. The area regularly offers unique and attractive housing options, as lofts previously used as warehouses convert into elegant residential condominiums…and in the months and years following September 11, 2001, generous incentives have been provided to further encourage re-growth and development in Downtown in general, and Tribeca (and neighboring Battery Park City) in particular.
