Join us for a fun and inspiring urban street photography photo walk hosted by the RLP Urban Photographers Meetup group. This month's photo walk will be in the wonderful Tribeca Neighborhood
"Tribeca is a hip area known for its old industrial buildings, many of which are now turned into residential loft spaces. Cobblestone streets are lined with trendy boutiques and restaurants. Historic commercial buildings include the red-brick New York Mercantile Exchange edifice, from 1884. Weekends are quiet, though Washington Market Park and Hudson River Park draw families. The Tribeca Film Festival takes place here every spring." ― Google
