(By which she means "set in Tribeca" and she might as well have just said that, except that would've been unhelpful in the opposite direction.)

The first big problem with the use of the phrase "tri-state area" is that the USA is a big country and google confirms that there are lots of places called the tri-state area by the people who live in or near them. Even if there was only one, I doubt people outside the area would call it that.

The second problem... well, not really a problem, more like a comment - is that I've been living in NYC nearly my entire life and I'm still not entirely clear on what the third state is. NY, NJ, and... Connecticut? Pennsylvania?
