Greenwich St Between Chambers St and Harrison St

   

As one of the more prominent streets in TriBeCa, Greenwich Street certainly has more to offer than any one person could take in. When I visited, their weekly farmer's market was in full swing next to Washington Market Park. Across the street a row of vintage buildings add to the quaint (though expensive-looking) character.

The east side of the block, besides being home to the park, is weighed down by a massive housing project. A series of buildings which feature massive concrete steps, big open plazas and even sidewalk access for a few tenants, are a strange feature to have across from the simpler structures on the west side of the street. I wouldn't say it's entirely unwelcome since I enjoy contrast and variety, but it does make you wonder what developers were thinking during the middle of the 20th Century.
