Tribeca, that lower Manhattan neighborhood, is really quite more than just fancy lofts and cobblestone streets, and you know, so too it’s like a spot where culinary adventures are almost around every corner. We went there, you know, on a delicious quest, searching for places, that really standout in a vibrant scene. So here’s a taste, or two, of where you might grab some good eats and some cool drinks around here.

1. Locanda Verde: A Rustic Italian Escape

Locanda Verde is, like, very much your casual, but oh-so-stylish Italian joint, nestled right inside The Greenwich Hotel. And is that not just owned by Robert De Niro himself? As a matter of fact, this space feels very, very like you’ve found a comfy corner in Tuscany. They dish out some amazing dishes, you know, yet I would really lean on the pasta – it’s absolutely divine.

Why it’s cool: The whole mood really. It’s just really that kind of laid-back place with great meals where you could hang for hours, basically chatting or, in a way, watching people.

What to try: Their sheep’s milk ricotta with orange and almond, which is just great stuff and the homemade pastas are, almost always, the big thing, too.

2. Tiny’s and the Bar Upstairs: Charm and Cocktails

Oh! so, Tiny’s is really very that blush-pink townhouse and it’s like picture-perfect and right there on West Broadway. Too it’s, actually, super quaint and almost something right out of a movie, and that really gives you this old New York feels with a, sort of, fun twist.

Why it’s cool: Is that the atmosphere? Really quite warm and inviting, the food’s got just a little touch of homeyness, and is that their cocktail game’s almost pretty good, I would say. You know?

What to try: They have oysters. They are pretty good. Try that burger and definitely sip on any of their fantastic cocktails. Those are pretty much the best sellers.

4. Odeon: A Tribeca Institution

Okay, so, Odeon is extremely Tribeca; like extremely timeless brasserie that, really, has just kind of been killing the food scene for decades now. It has got like that very classic Parisian cafe vibe, but then, they also got this hip, kind of, almost like New York edge.

Why it’s cool: This place almost bleeds character. Very, very much that spot that has seen all the cool cats of NY and still has really that very much “it” kind of factor, but so casual at the same time. I really enjoy that about it. Okay?

What to try: This spot does a pretty decent steak frites; you could actually try that French onion soup – oh man – just, is that their burger is absolutely amazing.

Why it’s cool: Is that you have places, that, in a way, give you absolutely zero frills. Zero glam. Still they got this charm of, oh, you got it. This place really lets one relax.

What to try: Basically they whip up one really solid burger, tasty fish, and, I do really think they serve those ales real darn cold.
