The name "TriBeCa," a syllabic abbreviation for "Triangle Below Canal" Street, was coined by city planners in the 1960s. Originally farmland, Tribeca was commercialized in the 1850s with warehouses and factories for produce, textiles, and dry goods. Now, lofts and restaurants have moved into the formerly industrial, cast-iron buildings.
Buses, taxis, and cars can get you to and from Tribeca, but perhaps the easiest mode of transportation around Manhattan holds true for Tribeca too, the subway. The 1 train stops at Canal, Franklin, and Chambers. The 2 and 3 express lines stop only at Chambers. The A, C, and E trains stop at Canal near West Broadway.

The area now known as Tribeca was originally developed in the early 19th century as a residential neighborhood close to the city’s center in Lower Manhattan. Its street grid was laid out at right angles off of Greenwich Street and on a diagonal off of...
May 21, 2012 · As the city inched northward the tavern disappeared, replaced by fine brick homes of New York’s wealthy. Astor owned one of these, at the corner of Broadway and Vesey Street, which he advertised for rent in The New York Gazette in 1813. The ad doubtlessly infuriated his elite neighbors.
In 2013 Verizon – New York Telephone’s successor – sold the top 22 floors to Magnum Real Estate Group, who converted the floors into loft residences under the name 100 Barclay. During the conversion, the lobby was completely restored with a new entrance on the Barclay Street side of the building.
