\"TribecaFounded following the September 11th attacks by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff, The Tribeca Film Festival in downtown\u00a0Manhattan – New York City<\/a> has quickly become one of the most prominent gatherings for budding and vetted film actors, directors and cultural icons in the United States.<\/strong> The\u00a0New york City’s\u00a0festival in TriBeCa<\/a> is grittier than its counterparts in Cannes and Park City, focusing more on the films than the ostentatious celebrity gift bags. Nevertheless, Mr. De Niro is a staple at festival events and many international movie stars can be seen taking in films or acting as judges on festival panels. New York Habitat has several apartment rentals in\u00a0TriBeCa and in Battery Park<\/a> available just\u00a0steps from the festivities but if you want a prime apartment its a good idea to book early.<\/p>\n

More than just a place to catch a new film<\/strong>, the Tribeca Film Festival features a diverse lineup of events and activities. The festival holds a number of small music concerts, a family-oriented street fair and special presentations for aspiring film makers<\/strong>. That said, movies are still the festival\u2019s biggest draw. This year Tribeca welcomes the directors, cast and crews from over 200 pre-selected international films. Tickets are available to the public so it is not just industry insiders that have the pleasure of participating in the Q&A sessions that follow many screening. For New Yorkers lucky enough to be in TriBeCa during the festival the ambiance is electric, movie stars eat dinner in area restaurants and writers and directors can often be seen sharing ideas in Tribeca coffee shops. The 2008 festival goes from April 23rd to May 4th.<\/strong> The screenings now take place throughout Manhattan as the size of the event has continued to grow in size.<\/p>\n

Staying in Tribeca is all about big, loft-style \u00a0Manhattan accommodations<\/a>, so why stay in a cramped hotel room? For example,\u00a0this apartment is just\u00a0north of the film festival, in the mythic Greenwich Village neighborhood; \u00a01-bedroom rental apartment in West Village, Greenwich Village – Soho (NY-7565)<\/a>. And just across the East River in Brooklyn is this 2-bedroom rental apartment in Brooklyn Heights (NY-12661)<\/a>, guests will feel as if they are the star in their own movie as they walk to the festival across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.<\/p>\n

Film buffs looking to attend this year\u2019s festival should act fast, Hollywood types pour into downtown Manhattan during the Tribeca film festival and have a habit of gobbling up dozens of the neighborhood flats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
