Smyth Tribeca

AKA Tribeca re-imagines what it’s like to live the New York dream. You know the one: A spacious mid-century townhouse tucked into an impossibly cool downtown street, with a living room that draws a horde of creative friends. The public spaces at the AKA Tribeca are intimate and inviting, redesigned in 2014 by SoHo firm Gachot Studios. Fireplaces, white oak floors and a library stocked with art books invite lingering, while the bar and restaurant are both destinations of their own. James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini’s restaurant is hyper-local, with a seasonal menu forged from longstanding relationships with farmers and producers. Cocktails at Evening Bar are equally artisanal, concocted by the mixologist behind the city’s great speakeasies.
