Why did Tribeca close?
To Nieporent and longtime wine director David Gordon, the closure of the Tribeca Grill is indicative of larger changes in fine dining. More guests are looking to outer boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens to dine, Nieporent says. Gordon also mentions inflation and higher labor costs. Owned by famed restaurateur Drew Nieporent and Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, the Grill provides a quintessential NYC dining experience, enhanced with a Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning wine list, and great people-watching.
