NW Corner of Chambers and West Streets (Base of the Tribeca Bridge Stairs)
Chambers and West Streets
New York, NY 10282
While the Manhattan neighborhood of TriBeCa is known today for its namesake film festival, celebrity sightings, and high-end private homes, it was anything but for nearly 400 years. This is the real story of the sailors, merchants, and artists that once called this neighborhood home, and the historical remnants of its artistic and industrial past.
Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the rich history and story of TriBeCa ("Triangle Below Canal Street"), a New York City neighborhood that can trace its roots back to the old Dutch days when the land was known as New Amsterdam.
Led by NYC tour guide and TriBeCa native Gardiner Comfort, our neighborhood journey around this fascinating and eclectic small corner of Manhattan's "Lower West Side" will include:
See you there!
*Please bring a water bottle and comfortable pair of shoes as we’ll be doing a lot of walking!
**Our experience will conclude in front of Ear Inn (326 Spring St.), which has food and drinks available for purchase.

"Went on an amazing "Secrets of TriBeCa" tour with tourguide and TriBeCa local Gardiner Comfort. My daughter (college age) and I had a great time learning the ins and outs of a neighborhood we thought we knew! Gardiner's engaging storytelling, clear plan that walked us all through the area old and new, and interactions with community members while including our small group while we walked were worth every penny. We'll be following his @nativenewyorkertours on InstaGram and joining his future New York Adventure Club walking tours whenever possible - a really great way to show visiting friends around our city!" -Kulia
