Seen & Heard: The neighborhood called Triberia
REPORTS FROM TRIBERIA
This was a new one for me! I guess residents who live on Park Row, and even those on Broadway near City Hall, call themselves Triberia! For my own purposes, I count Park Row as Tribeca, even though it is really the Civic Center, and the Tribeca Gallery District as Tribeca, since that is neither Tribeca nor the Civic Center. And also — even though no one’s asking — I go as far south as Barclay for “Tribeca.” My rationale: 100 Barclay is in Tribeca, since it really lands nowhere else and its kids go to 234.
JAZZ LUNCHES AT BOGARDUS START TODAY
Bogardus Plaza will start its series of jazz lunches with the West Fourth Trio today, May 15, and will continue for the next two Thursdays. The rain dates are the following Fridays.
THADDEUS MOSLEY SHOW COMING TO CITY HALL PARK
The Public Art Fund will install a series of pieces by Thaddeus Mosley called Touching the Earth in City Hall Park next month, with an opening celebration on June 3 from 6 to 7p. It’s up through November. This is the first solo outdoor exhibition in New York City by celebrated sculptor (he is 98) and will showcase eight bronze sculptures cast from his original wood carvings made between 1996 and 2021. The exhibition explores Mosley’s abstract reflections on nature, the body and geography. Ranging in size from human-scale to monumental, the works will transform the park into a site of dialogue between organic forms, abstraction and the urban environment. More when it opens.
POETRY FROM THE LILAC & ON THE WAVERTREE
The Lilac, docked at Pier 25, is celebrating its 92nd birthday and will open for tours starting May 24 from 2 to 6p. In the meantime there will be a Harborwide Reading by this year’s NYC Poets Afloat on Sunday, May 18, at 2p on board the tall ship Wavertree at South Street Seaport. Admission is free on the day of the event, but reservations are encouraged and start at $1. Proceeds from tickets are split among the ships that supported poets in their micro-residencies during Poetry Month. The Lilac’s poet this year was Kyle Carrero Lopez.

I have never heard anyone call Park Row Triberia! LOL! Per CB1, anything south of Murray and West of Broadway is the Financial District and for purposes of FiDi Fan Page, I count everything south of Chambers and the Brooklyn Bridge as FiDi. However, the neighborhoods of FiDi, BPC and Tribeca have never been as intertwined as they are now and so I now refer to the combined neighborhoods (also known as CB1) as Greater FiDi. :-). The population of the Financial District is set to soar by an additional 30,000 in the next 4-5 years as (by my count) about 12,000 new apartments are in various stages of construction or development. It will lead to many more food, entertainment, retail and cultural options in FiDi and cement its status as a true 24/7 community.
The Tribeca Gallery District is not part of Tribeca? The blocks between Church and Broadway and Broadway itself were considered East Tribeca until the NYC Department of Education opened two new schools downtown (276 and Spruce Street), rezoning the kids east of Church for Spruce Street.
The initial meeting to petition for landmark status was held in 1986 in the 52 White Street building. We were part of Tribeca then and we are part of Tribeca now.
Yes, everything west of Broadway is legit Tribeca — I think everyone agrees on that. I am talking about the chunk of property east of Broadway and north of Worth, but largely around Cortlandt Alley.
No one is saying this word. this sounds like someone made it up at a happy hour and claimed people were using it. I live on Park Row, am VERY involved in this neighborhood, Friends of City Hall park. We refer to our neighborhood as City Hall Park and some say Fidi. Tribeca+ Civic Center + Fulton/Seaport + World Trade areas are best described by City Hall Park.
I am a part of multiple messaging boards on Park row. NO ONE is saying this. don’t let it start happening. it makes no sense.
With the influx of families and kids after 9/11, I have heard of the neighborhood being sarcastically referred to as Triburbia, there’s even a book by the name, but this one is new to me.
Reminds me of when some real estate whippersnappers tried to make BoCoCa a thing in Brooklyn.
Triburbia, yes. Triberia, never.
For what it is worth, the north part of “FiDi” – let’s say Spruce-Maiden Lane – is still home to a number of government offices (Social Security, State Comptroller, ACS and others), NYP Lower Manhattan Hospital and affiliated medical offices, Pace University (which keeps expanding), several schools including special ed schools and St. Margaret’s House (Section 8 for senior citizens).
Now surrounded by more luxury high-rises and hotels….
There is a sign from the city on the corner of Barclay and Church that identifies that area as Tribeca, just across the street from the Four Seasons. So, according to NYC, that’s officially included within the neighborhood borders now.
In fact, right around the time the Four Seasons was opening, Google Maps pushed notifications to people in the area asking them on the proper borders for the neighborhood. I believe their classification is Canal to Barclay, WSH to Broadway. I wonder if this was done so the Four Seasons could market themselves as located in Tribeca vs. FiDi.
