It’s not just because a savvy real estate broker found a cache of dormant retail spaces, either. There are now at least 41 galleries in TriBeCa, according to the real estate broker Jonathan Travis - who placed 22 of those himself - compared with fewer than 20 galleries two years ago, and still more are set to move in. For any New York-area gallery that needs to move or is opening another branch, TriBeCa is now the most exciting place to show contemporary art - the destination that has to be considered. As everyone from tiny new project spaces to the blue-chip titan David Zwirner floods in, this cast-iron and cobblestone neighborhood in Manhattan - south of Canal, north of Vesey and west of Broadway - is no longer just one option of many. Galleries have been moving to TriBeCa for a good five years, but the migration has finally hit critical mass.
