West Broadway, Tribeca

I like West Broadway a lot in other neighborhoods; but, I'm just not a fan of it in Tribeca. I guess, now that I think about it, I'm not exactly a huge fan of Tribeca as a whole. There are some places I like in the area, but it just doesn't seem like a neighborhood to me. Plus, transportation is crappy in Tribeca -- and, West Broadway is no different.
There are a couple of little, cool places right at Walker -- I like Tribeca Tavern. And, there's a little whisp of a park right there as well. That's one thing that Tribeca does well: parks. There are a ton of them -- even if they aren't all that big or impressive.
There are some cool, old buildings on West Broadway, but a lot of the quaintness of the street gets completely taken over by massive, new apartment buildings that house 4 million dollar lofts. Tribeca is pretty big on the multi-million dollar, modern loft. And, West Broadway is just full of them once you get down into this neighborhood. There's another little park a few blocks down on W Broadway that used to be a big drug dealing square but then got cleaned up as the neighborhood became posh. But, other than that, I don't see much of a difference between the financial district and Tribeca when it comes to lack of greenery and oppressive buildings. And, I feel like, while W Broadway has so much going on in Soho, the Tribeca version of the street holds a lot of things that used to be something noteworthy (like the Odeon -- that place is just sad). I feel like, this is West Broadway Street! Come on, rich people! Plant a garden and put up a restaurant or something!

West Broadway, starting at West Houston Street, offers tourists and citizens amazing architectural appeal and fabulous dining. The area is home to a number of loft-style office spaces and cast-iron buildings. Origins flagship store can be found on West Broadway between Spring and Broome Streets and is worth a stop if beauty products are your game. The area is also home to a number of upscale eateries, mostly Italian, Latin and French cuisine are common fare as well as a nightclub or two. “Exclusive” is quickly becoming the name of the game on West Broadway with an exclusive condominium planned. While Soho prides itself on being hip and trendy West Broadway can come off as a bit stuffy, as if it's trying to be far better than it is. It's a nice area to walk along and there are points of interest but I could take it or leave it.
