Reade St, Tribeca

Leading into TriBeCa's main recreational park, the Washington Market Park, with its charming gazebo and tennis/baseball facilities, Reade Street is a pleasant enough stretch of TriBeCa. The feel is classic TriBeca - arty in a minimalist, loft-studio fashion that doesn't seem to have gone out of style since the early 90's, but without the relentless come-and-go trendiness that dominates so many of Manhattan's neighborhoods. The Meatpacking District may have come and gone, but among a certain set, TriBeCa abides. The area around Reade Street itself is home to a number of attractions, among them a fair few art galleries: visit KS Art on Leonard Street or SoHo photo gallery on White Street . For a quick coffee, visit the Espresso Lounge, or grab tea at the Chinese Pak Tea House, washed down with a scrumptious pastry from TriBeCa treats. For a more substantial meal, try any one of the Asian restaurants on the block (there are many, representing a variety of countries), or down a delicious dollar taco at perennial favorite Taco House. Easy subway transfer from Chambers Street

Needs a little more spice. Despite the old school NYC building and the occasional hot dog vendor, this street doesnt do it for me. Not dirty enough to be a true new york street and not clean enough to sit on I feel this street lacks anything special in comparison to its NYC neighbors...Not worth visiting in my opinion

This place is really only a good area to live for those who work downtown and don’t want to head uptown all that often. I find it lacks a bit of soul but others say it’s a great spot to head to tribeca etc.. For me, if you’re going to live in Manhattan, you’re missing the point with this area… Ugly food chains, a massive clothing department store (Century 21) and a bunch of skyscrapers… Plus a bunch of bankers walking around spending their bonuses at one of the few terrible bars in the area… But that’s just my opinion, take it or leave it..
