Location: Lower Manhattan. TriBeCa is a triangular-shaped area located below Canal Street. It is flanked by Broadway to the East, by the Hudson River to the West and by Chambers Street to the South. To the north lies SoHo, to the east - Chinatown, to the south - the Word Trade Center area and Battery Park City.

Character: Packed with A-list celebrities and successful execs, TriBeCa today is miles away from the artist haven it was in the 1970's. But its streets and buildings are full of character and one might say the neighborhood today deservedly ranks as one of New York's "coolest".

Demographics: TriBeCa's population is about 20,000 (mostly rich people with a taste for loft living). TriBeCa is less densely populated than the rest of Manhattan.
