The Address to Know in Manhattan This Season: Tribeca, Not Chelsea

Downtown Manhattan has quietly overtaken Chelsea as the sharper stop for anyone touring New York's galleries right now, with roughly seventy shows opening in Tribeca at once. Chelsea still holds the megaliths of blue-chip art, but the sheer volume downtown makes it the place to actually see work in bulk. For anyone planning a Manhattan swing around the season's openings, the neighborhood to put on the itinerary now is Tribeca. Seventy shows in one stretch of downtown is not an afternoon's errand, it is a proper circuit.
