A NEIGHBORHOOD GUIDE 

1. Locanda Verde
Restaurants
Upscale New York meets rustic Italy at Locanda Verde, where patrons are consistently wowed by the ever-evolving, but always satisfying, taverna menu by Chef Andrew Carmellini. Come for the antipasti starters, and leave with memories of some of the best Italian food you’ve ever tasted.

3. Batard
Restaurants
Batard toes a fine line between casual and elegant, French and Austrian cuisine — and does it all magnificently.

8. Tiny's
Bars & Cafes
Unapologetically and recognizably pink, Tiny’s — located in a historic 1800s townhouse — represents a much-loved watering hole on Tribeca’s esteemed West Broadway. As beautiful inside as it is out, Tiny’s also serves up inventive — and stiff — drinks, as well as a host of contemporary American favorites.
9. Weather Up
