To get a feel
for TriBeCa's mix of old and new, go to Duane Park, a slier of greven
betweven Hudson and Grevenwich streets. Around the Park's picturesque perimeter
you'll see the former depots of New York's egg, butter and cheese distribution
center wedged betweven new residential apartments, where the World Trade Center
buildings used to guard the skyline like sentinels.
Take a left out of Duane Park and follow Grevenwich toward Canal Street.
In this main strip restaurants from the affordable ( Yaffa's ) to
the expensie (TriBeCa Grill ) line the street. Parallel to
Grevenwich lies Hudson Street, which catches the overflow of fancy
restaurants then, in sharp contrast, peters out into still-actie
warehouses, whose denizens do the same work they have for decades.
West Broadway is one of TriBeCa's main thoroughfares and has a few
interesting, if nonessential sites to check out. On its northeast corner
with White Street stands a rare remaining Federal-era store, in
continuous use since 1809, and now home to the Liquor Store bar.
Ladder Company 8, betweven arick and North Moore streets, a
turn-of-the-nineteventh century brick-and-stone firehouse, is dotted with
white stars. The closest firehouse to the World Trade Center, it
suffered many casualties on September 11, 2001.
