Rediscover New York City with Google Maps and the Tribeca Festival

[KatieMcBroom]

In New York City, local businesses and cultural institutions alike are beginning to reopen, allowing those in the area to get back to what they love. This includes the historic Tribeca Festival, slated to return June 9-20 this year.

For those who aren’t familiar with this area, Tribeca derives its name from “Triangle Below Canal Street.” It’s a trendy neighborhood in New York City known for its great restaurants like City Vineyard and Tiny’s & the Bar Upstairs, cobblestone streets, and of course, the Tribeca Festival.

This annual event was founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro, and Craig Hatkoff, in response to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the consequent loss of vitality in the Tribeca neighborhood. The inaugural festival included various film competitions, series, and discussions, as well as the premieres of major studio films like Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. It has since become an annual event to keep Tribeca thriving.

This year, the festival will feature a blend of in-person and online events, making it more accessible to a global audience. Whether you’re on your couch in New York or across the world, you can witness the action remotely through the new virtual hub, Tribeca At Home, an online platform to offer audiences a flexible option to join in the fun virtually.

For those of you in the area, you can use the features on Google Maps to help make the best decisions about where to go and what to do during the festival. Enjoy the festival’s screenings, local events, and the local spots you love in Tribeca while staying safe with up-to-date information on COVID precautions and busyness of places. Google Maps and its vibrant community will keep you in the know of what’s happening in the city, so you won’t miss a beat.

You can also check out lists like The Foodie List: Tribeca to bookmark places in the area to grab a bite to eat near the festival.

We appreciate your efforts in always updating us on different events. Thank you for this post. It’s interesting that life is getting back to normal again both in the states and other places. We never thought it would!!! Am not in the area but hopefully I’ll be able to join the festival virtually, thanks for the link.

Cheers

Hi @KatieMcBroom ,

this is a very nice initiative, of course wonderful activities are re-opening and people can enjoy again in-person events but also use what we have learned in this special time of our lives to make those events even wider such as the blending of in-person and online events.

Here in Lucca we do have the Lucca Comics & Games, a very famous festival about cartoons, comics, manga’s and all related, which has been stopped due to Covid and everybody is wishing to have it back in the city.

Thank you for the useful update !
