MEETUP LOCATION
(Updated directions below)
Nancy Whiskey Pub, at 1 Lispenard St., corner of W. Broadway
Closest trains are "A, C, or E Trains" to Canal St. Station; the best way is to use the middle most exit off this platform. The exit street staircase will be adjacent to the wall of Nancy Whiskey Pub. If you use the most southerly exit you will only be 1 short block south of our meeting location.
The 1, B, D, N, Q, 6, J, Z, M trains all stop along Canal St also, but are a little farther away.\
Always check NYC's MTA.info site for weekend trackwork train rescheduling & rerouting before starting your trip.
!!!NYC Subway rescheduling is very common nearly every weekend!!!

ABOUT
(source: Wikipedia)
Tribeca, originally written as TriBeCa, is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan in New York City. Its name is a syllabic abbreviation of "Triangle Below Canal Street". The "triangle" (more accurately a quadrilateral) is bounded by Canal Street, West Street, Broadway, and Chambers Street. By the 2010s, a common marketing tactic was to extend Tribeca's southern boundary to either Vesey or Murray Streets to increase the appeal of property listings.
The neighborhood began as farmland, then was a residential neighborhood in the early 19th century, before becoming a mercantile area centered on produce, dry goods, and textiles, and then transitioning to artists and then actors, models, entrepreneurs, and other celebrities. The neighborhood is home to the Tribeca Festival, which was created in response to the September 11 attacks, to reinvigorate the neighborhood and downtown after the destruction caused by the terrorist attacks.
