N. Moore St Between Hudson St and Varick St
This is a very colorful street. On the corner, Bubby's had a trio of mult-colored rocking benches, alongside their stroller parking section (gentrification, or just family-friendly?). Down the block a bit, 27 N. Moore has a yellow-tinted overhang with reflects a warm light to the entrance below.
The street is very typical of TriBeCa – a combination of cobblestones and pavement, fighting for space. There's a wide variety of architecture to take in, from the mundane, to the elaborate. Plants and decaying metal sit side-by-side, while the massive AT&T building looms in the distance.

My father lives on N. Moore between Greenwich and West so I'm pretty familiar with this block. Another interesting bit to note: This is where JFK Jr. was living when he died. The whole block was like a makeshift memorial for over a week.
I found Kate's tidbit on JFK Jr. very interesting. I just walked that street and wished I had known. Makes it all that more interesting. Love the benches....sorta expected to be at a Cracker Barrel.
JFK Jr actually lived on Hudson St btwn Harrison and Jay, a couple blocks from North Moore. 77 Hudson, I believe.
