Canal Street, lined with shops, offers hours of shopping to a tourist. It’s packed and busy all day long with New Yorkers and out of state folk alike. The merchandise is reasonably priced but not always authentic. It’s a little off-putting when every ten steps someone yells “handbag, handbag, you want handbag miss?” or “Rolex? DVD?” in broken English in your face, but I think it adds to the experience of Tribeca. It’s such a different pace of living than anywhere else I’ve been. There are many subway entrances about, so you’re never far from upper Manhattan or Queens. Little Italy and Chinatown are within Tribeca. These offer endless restaurant possibilities and a steady flow of excitement and fun.
