Located in Tribeca's Washington Market area on Franklin & Greenwich
Streets, Tribeca Grill radiates excitement and energy. Its association
with hundreds of major media events has helped to make "The
Grill" a classic New York social gathering place.
"Conventional wisdom would have placed Tribeca Grill among the
footnotes in restaurant history, just another celebrity-owned eatery.
Good thing Drew Nieporent doesn't listen to conventional wisdom. If he
did, he might have passed up actor Robert DeNiro's interest in
converting an old warehouse in a decidedly unfashionable New York
neighborhood into an energetic gathering place. Instead, eight years
later, Nieporent and DeNiro, along with Chef Don Pintabona and General
Manager Martin Shapiro, can take well-earned delight in having proved
the skeptics wrong. The restaurant may have outgrown its role as THE
place for stargazing, but it has developed something more significant: a
loyal following and a reputation for quality."
