? 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?

...but the show is in Brooklyn?

Well, isn't THAT special? Go to the Night Vale website and the pin in the map is in Brooklyn. Copy the address from that very website, put it in Google Maps and you get Tribeca.

Well, plenty of time for me to cancel the expensive tribeca hotel and find something reasonable near the Roulette. I hope it's a safe neighborhood.

Silly Google Maps.

I'm afraid I haven't a clue about the neighborhood itself.

That *is* weird. I tried it myself and I see what you mean. Interestingly if you search the Roulette, you get the right location. "And now the weather..."

I think I'm going to just call the theater itself for hotel and transport recommendations.

By the way - thank you for the warning before I got there and it was too late to change plans!

Not a problem! I've been working out how I am going to skedaddle from the Javits to the show and arrive in a semi-timely fashion. I have booth duty at NYCC that Thursday.

I'm still figuring out where I'm going to stay at this point.
