Strolling through Tribeca with my Contax 645

After a marathon weekend of shooting film I had about 25 exposures left on a roll that I needed to finish off so I could send everything into my wonderful lab, Richard Photo Lab.  I decided to take a nice late afternoon stroll through my neighborhood and photograph some of my favorite places.  Tribeca is an amazing neighborhood and such a great place to live.  I like living in a modern building, but being surrounded by some of the oldest buildings in New York City.  I photograph families and couples on these streets all the time, but letting the streets themselves become the subject was a new experience and opened my eyes up to so many little details I’d never noticed before.  Never visited Tribeca?  Here’s a list of my top 10 favorite things to do in Tribeca.

1. Checking out the old buildings on West Broadway, especially Tiny’s Restautant!
2. Walking through Duane Park
3. Discovering the tiny picturesque streets like Staple and Collister.
4. Eating outside under the lights at City Hall Restaurant.
5. Drinking a glass of wine at Terroir.
6. Splurging on dinner at Jungsik or Marc Forgione for special occasions.
7. Lounging on the couches with a cocktail at the Tribeca Grand.
8. Getting fresh fruit at the Farmer’s Market or Whole Foods.
9. Shopping at the well curated boutique Otte.
10. Going to SoulCycle and rocking out with all my fav instructors followed by brunch at Sarabeths.
