We are a non profit organization in Tribeca. The mission of Tribeca Trust is to educate the public about Tribeca’s history and architectural heritage but also to create and enhance new public spaces and make Tribeca more walkable.
What if we had a new plaza in Tribeca? Come this Saturday and form your own opinion. We just received the NYC DOT permit for the event, so we would appreciate all promoting help that we can get!
Thank you, and below is the description of the event.
