GOT GUESTS?
If you have people coming in this summer, remember that I’ve done some of the work for you: the Tribeca Visitor’s Guide. The guide will always be a work in progress—I just removed the 1st Precinct stables, and we’ll see how long the Ladder 8 firehouse sticks around. If there’s something you always tell guests to see or do down here, please post a comment on the guide or let me know. P.S. Thanks to the reader who recommended it in a TripAdvisor forum!
