DK Travel : New York : SoHo and TriBeCa

Until recently, the area named for its shape (TRIangle BElow CAnal) consisted mostly of abandoned warehouses. Then Robert De Niro set up his Tribeca Film Center, stylish restaurants began to open, and the big loft spaces started to draw celebrity residents. Now TriBeCa is one of New York’s hottest neighborhoods, the center of the city’s movie industry with a TriBeCa Film Festival and plenty of nightlife. SoHo (South of Houston) has also come full circle. The empty loft spaces first drew artists, then galleries, then crowds of browsers and the restaurants to serve them. The new chic image quickly drove up rents and drove out many galleries. Some remain, and the streets are lined with designer clothing and home furnishing boutiques, maintaining SoHo’s lure as the city’s favorite Sunday brunch-and-browse neighborhood. Both areas boast the cast-iron architecture that is a New York specialty.

Aquagrill

Superb seafood, and in particular famous for having over twenty different kinds of Oysters from both the Atlantic and Pacific coastal waters of North America. A lively atmosphere, but attentive and prompt service ensures you never feel ignored. Highly recommended.
Bubby's

I haven't actually been here but its been recommended by a friend as a good place to go for brunch after a hard morning's shopping in Soho!
Capsouto Freres

Tucked away on Washington Street in TrBeCa, Capsouto Freres is a gorgeous French bistro, with an excellent menu and very reasonable prices. The house special is the assortment of dessert souffles, which are justifiably acclaimed by those in the know. Service is prompt and friendly, while the mixture of wood floors with clean overall lines makes the atmosphere crisp and welcoming. Well worth a visit if you're looking to treat yourself or someone else.
Dean & Deluca

This is an amazing coffee shop and grocery /deli store. All the food carried in the store looks amazing and good enough to eat there and then.

The coffee shop offers a wide variety of coffees and drinks as well as fabulous sandwiches and cakes & pastries. Try the vanilla bean donuts - a must for all donut lovers.

Enjoy.
