History
The TriBeCa neighborhood in New York was born as a result of the SoHo neighborhood gentrifying, leading to high rent prices. The same young artists who had made their home in SoHo in the early years, moved to TriBeCa to repeat the same phenomenon.
In part, TriBeCa’s fame is due to the efforts made by the New York actor Robert De Niro, who set up the Tribeca Film Center and the Tribeca Film Festival in the neighborhood.
A Contemporary Neighborhood
Today, TriBeCa is considered an area full of shops, art galleries, bars, and restaurants. It's home to famous celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Heather Graham, Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake, Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert De Niro.
