Spotlight: Duane Park Patisserie
Whether Duane Park Patisserie is baking a $2,500 specialty cake or the 3,000 brownies it gives away for free every Halloween, one thing is certain: "Everything we make has to taste as if it's the only thing we do, as if we made it specifically for that person," says founder Madeline Lanciani. / 9 comments
Spotlight: Chambers Street Wines
Long considered one of the best wine stores in the U.S., Chambers Street Wines is primarily known for natural wines. "But of course the vast majority of our customers are people in the neighborhood coming in for a nice bottle of wine to have with dinner," says co-founder Jamie Wolff. / 6 comments
Spotlight: Sweet Lily Natural Nail Spa
"We try to be a nice sanctuary for people to disconnect, so we don't allow cell phones," says Donna Perillo, founder of the Sweet Lily nail salon. "Some people just can’t cope, though—and they’ll tap their phones with their nose because they can’t use their hands!" / 1 comment
Spotlight: Floratech
"I grew up with so many Michaels," says Michael Collarone, explaining how he came to be known as Mikey Flowers. "Mikey Navy wanted to be in the Navy. Mikey Fires wanted to be a firefighter. I was the Mikey who knew flowers." His floral design firm, Floratech, has been in Tribeca for three decades, and he has the stories to prove it. / 9 comments
Spotlight: Steven Sclaroff
The front of interior designer Steven Sclaroff's White Street office is a small store full of furniture and other items that have caught his eye. "I stay away from the stuff you see a lot," he says. "It's more fun to have stuff be less familiar. It’s fresher."
Spotlight: Roc
If you know Roc restaurant, you undoubtedly know owner Rocco Cadolini. "This is my show," he says. "The lights, the ambience, the music, the rush of the energy. People always say, 'I don’t know what it is, but I feel good in here.'" / 15 comments
Spotlight: Estancia 460
"People say we’re their Cheers, their happy place, their clubhouse," says Stacey Sosa, irrepressible owner of Estancia 460 in northwest Tribeca. "It’s a whole experience—you don't just come here for a meal, you come for the feeling." / 6 comments
Spotlight: Boomerang Toys
"I raised my kids here," says Karen Barwick, owner of Boomerang Toys, an important Tribeca resource for 14 years. "They went to local schools and played on local teams. We're really immersed in the community, and I like that." / 2 comments
Spotlight: Antiqueria Tribeca
Marion and Peter Feig chose to specialize in French Art Deco because of its high quality and how it mixes well with other styles. But also because they simply love it: "We buy every single piece ourselves," says Marion. "If we don’t like it, we don’t buy it." / 15 comments
Spotlight: Real Pilates
What makes Real Pilates stand out, says founder Alycea Ungaro, is its dedication to the method developed by Joseph Pilates: "It’s our foundation. It’s timeless—nothing needs to be changed. I feel honored to keep it intact and make it grow." / 6 comments
Spotlight: Church Street School for Music and Art
"We’re the only non-profit school for the arts below Canal Street," says co-founder Lisa Ecklund-Flores, "and I’ve always felt like the school is a vessel for the community to use any way they want." She estimates that 10,000 students have studied there since it opened in 1990.
