TRIBECA HAIR & NAIL STUDIO, HARRISBURG, PENN.
“We are delighted to invite you to our salon, one with an upbeat New York energy alongside the calm and relaxing mood of our zen inspired Spa Rooms. […] How did we get our name? On a trip to New York City in 1986, I fell in love with Tribeca and the charming neighborhoods surrounding it. Inspired by the sights and sounds of this wonderful place, I felt very connected to the big city’s pace and vibe and knew one day this would be the inspiration for a business. Did you know? The word Tribeca started as an acronym for Triangle Below Canal which is a specific geographical area in New York City!”

“TRIBECA,” A SONG BY TERRACE
“Inspiration for ‘TriBeCa’ include late nights. Sweaty clubs. Dark dance floors. Exertion. Endurance. Memories. Future plans. Grandiose ideas. Daybreak. All the things that make nightlife real. Ethereal and visceral. ‘TriBeCa’ is the latest release from Terrace’s upcoming EP Foundations […] An homage to those late night blueprints and the soundtrack that the DJs spun.” —Northern Transmissions

TRIBECA ICE CREAM
“Frank and Klaus have felt at home in many places around the world, most recently in New York, to be exact in Tribeca, where the idea for the ice cream of the same name was born. There, in early 2015, on Franklin Street, Klaus was looking for a vegan alternative to classic milk and cream ice cream. In the summer of 2015, the two brothers opened an ice cream pop-up store at Gallery Pablo’s Birthday in New York’s Lower East Side, under the motto ‘art meets ice cream.’ With the élan and the appropriate recipes in their luggage, a scoop shop was opened in July 2017 at Rykestraße 40 in Berlin. There are waiting for delicious ice cream, ice cream sandwiches and disco ball.” (Translated by Google.)

  1. Our family “LOL Tribeca” retail moment this spring came when I searched Target.com for sleepaway camp sheets and the Tribeca sheet set popped up. The “Green/Red” color option presumably evokes the very, very early days of Tribeca. https://www.target.com/p/tribeca-living-printed-cotton-flannel-extra-deep-pocket-sheet-set/-/A-53144917?preselect=53118575#lnk=sametab

  2. A bar on the corniche in Thessaloniki (photo available) and, if I recall correctly, on a square in Paris. And, and, and….

  3. There’s even some neighborhood in New York City using the name!

  4. Also:

    – Angie Tribeca (TV series)

    – Tribeca Living (a brand of bedding sheets and linens)
    https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/1/3/tribeca-living-sheets

    – Tribeca line of door hardware from Andersen Doors

    – Tribeca dog bowl from Ethical Pets
    http://www.ethicalpet.com/product/tribeca-bowl-black-55-oz/

    – Soho Collections Tribeca diaper bag set
    (branding confusion surely inspired by the Tribeca/Soho Pharmacy)

    – Tribeca Luggage (and shoes!) by Kenneth Cole

  5. These of course beg the question:
    What do they have to do with Tribeca?

    “We” should have trademarked the name long ago.
    Well, actually, the artists who came up with the name should have done so…

    • The U.S. Supreme Court wrote in Canal Company v. Clark, 80 U.S. 13 Wall. 311 311 (1871)

      “And it is obvious that the same reasons which forbid the exclusive appropriation of generic names or of those merely descriptive of the article manufactured and which can be employed with truth by other manufacturers, apply with equal force to the appropriation of geographical names, designating districts of country. “

      • James,
        Interesting! Thank you for that. Was not aware of such a law, but it makes sense in general.

        (Although the initial tiny triangle of TriBeCa might have been considered a sort of artist colony rather than a geographic region per se? )
