? for New York City Folk

THE QUESTION:
What's good to see/do/shop or eat at in Tribeca?


THE REASON:
I'm going to be in Manhattan most of Thursday October 10 and part of Friday October 11 for the Night Vale Live show. (*Which* show is still up for grabs: I have a ticket for the late show and have paid another fan for a ticket for the early show but that one isn't in my hands yet. And until it is, I'm not releasing my late show ticket.)

Thing is, the show's in Tribeca and I think I've been to Tribeca only once, and that years ago.

A place to stay isn't a problem; I can pick up a hotel room for the night at the Hilton close by and will do so, on the off chance that I'll be rolling back from the late show. But if I'm going to take time off, I might as well take the whole of Thursday off and get up in time to enjoy the area, right?

oh lord, it's been so long since I had reason to grab dinner down there.... let me check my sources and get back to you, if nobody else chimes in?

If that's where I think it is -- the Mysterious Bookshop is down in that part of New York. The subway was literally around the corner.

...but the show is in Brooklyn?

I was about to say, if you can afford to splurge on a meal while you're in town, Locanda Verde is amazing and in Tribeca. However, looking at the comments, it sounds like you may be relocating your trip.

On the Brooklyn side, though it doesn't serve food and is not actually in downtown, there *is* the Way Station, with its famous TARDIS-shaped restroom.
