TriBeCa stands for Triangle Below Canal Street. Ironically, it's not a triangle. The area was strictly industrial until the 70s, when artists started moving in. After the artists made it cool, high-end restaurants and nightlife moved in, and residential real estate developments took off. It's now one of the priciest areas of Manhattan.
