NOSY NEIGHBOR: WHAT’S GOING ON AT 27 DESBROSSES?
“Do you know what’s going on at 27 Desbrosses?” asked M. “We just noticed they boarded up around the storefront.” Now I do: And it’s something that promises to liven up northwest Tribeca, for better and/or for worse.
A TRIBECA INSTITUTION SINCE 2001
Edward’s is everyone’s favorite neighborhood bistro, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with style (but not attitude). Come on Wednesdays, when bottles of wine are half-price at dinner, or for Cincinnati Night, held the last Monday of every month. That’s when Cincinnatians get a taste of home, with Skyline Chili, Montgomery Inn Ribs, LaRosa’s Pizza, and Graeter’s Ice Cream. And check out Edward’s new website, edwardsnyc.com! 136 W. Broadway, between Thomas and Duane. Sponsored by Edward’s.
