INTRODUCING THE TRIBECA VISITOR’S GUIDE
I created a quick guide to Tribeca because want to encourage visitors. I’m tired of seeing storefronts—such as TAMA and Tribeca Girls—get turned into residences or offices, and I’ve long been wondering how tourists (even from within the city) navigate Tribeca, given that it’s a pretty diffuse neighborhood. I’ve watched them walking around, clearly trying to figure out why Jay-Z keeps bragging on the place. Now, who wants to help make a map for visitors to Tribeca?

CALENDAR: OCT. 14–31
This weekend in and around Tribeca (pardon the premature anticipation—I’m heading out of town): Friends of Duane Park’s Inside Tribeca Loft Tour; Iñaki Urlezaga Ballet Concierto; New York Architecture & Design Film Festival; Pedro Pablo Martinez in concert; “The Electric Chair” (1985); Dar Williams and Toshi Reagon; Joyce Gold tour of Battery Park City; “The Darjeeling Limited”; Ed Burns and PT Walkley; Fulton Stall Market; New Amsterdam Market; more.

WHAT THE HECK IS POKE?
The first in a series of investigations into the mysterious storefronts of Tribeca…. Tom Ajello and Aaron Rutledge, two of the three founders of Poke (11 Harrison), agreed to introduce themselves and show me around.
