History of Tribeca Buildings
A Glimpse of What’s to Come
Before I started this site, I would never have peeked through the paper covering the window of a business about to open, especially if it involved climbing up on a standpipe, and I certainly wouldn’t have snapped a photo. People change, right? Here are glimpses of six Tribeca businesses in the works, some clearer than others (and all of the photos benefit from being enlarged, so click on them).
················
WALKER HOTEL TRIBECA
Hotel at 396 Broadway (southeast corner of Walker) with a Blue Bottle café in the lobby, ground-floor restaurant, basement bar, and a rooftop lounge.
················
LORRAINE MASSEY’S SALON
A salon run by hairstylist Lorraine Massey (above?), known for her expertise with curly hair, in the former Calypso St. Barth store at 137 W. Broadway.
················
FISH REPUBLIC
A seafood restaurant, in the former Blaue Gans space, from Efraim Bason of Out of the Blue, a wholesaler on Long Island.

NEW YORK VINTNERS
An “indoor farm”/cooking school/wine school from New York Vintners at 61-69 Barclay, including a large space in the basement.

FARRA WINE BAR
Wine bar from the Atera folks, at 71 Worth; according to the paperwork in the window, the name will be Farra.

Sad to see the vaunted Blaue Gans nee Le Zinc space devoid of its 80s gallery posters. We probably all should have eaten more schnitzel.
That would be a great epitaph!
Eric, do you know what’s happening with Los Tacos No.1? They seem to have halted construction. Best of luck for life in California. Tribeca will miss you!
Also curious about LT#1….all I wanted for Xmas was for it to open in line with its promise to do so end of year 2018.
Hi, is Sant Ambroeus still scheduled to come to Brookfield, do you know? thank you !!
I haven’t heard otherwise, and a recent NYT article on a founder said it’s still on.
