5 Best Ways To Spend A Night Out In Tribeca
At first glance, the meatpacking district would be the automatic go-to spot for an exhilarating night on the town in New York City. This area is filled with several fancy clubs and has been a hot spot in the city for decades. However, if you take another look there are other spots that are just as fun and a bit more unique. One such district is Tribeca. Tribeca refers to the area south of Canal Street, between Broadway and West Street. It's home to many different types of artists as well as the Tribeca Film Festival.
