The gritty artists’ lofts and studios of the 1970s and 80s have morphed into a trendy district full of flash boutique shops, hotels, restaurants and bars.
“South of Houston Street” (SoHo) and “Triangle Below Canal Street” (TriBeCa), have New York written all over them. Grand old cast-iron buildings and warehouses with their iconic fire escapes give the two districts heaps of Big Apple appeal. New York’s fashionistas strut down the streets, weaving in and out of designer boutiques. There’s always the chance to spot a movie star here, especially when the annual Tribeca Film Festival rolls around.
