CAN TRIBECA BE SAVED?
This Saturday afternoon, join Tribeca Trust and the Historic Districts Council for a conversation with experts Steven Semes (The Future of the Past) and John Massengale (Street Design) about the issues that face historic districts today—including Tribeca, of course. The event will be held at the New York Academy of Art on Franklin Street, and the presentations will be followed by a cocktail reception. Reserve tickets here. Sponsored.
