In the News: Boulud taking over Augustine
BOULUD TAKING OVER AUGUSTINE SPACE
Daniel Boulud will take over Keith McNally’s Augustine space in the Beekman Hotel according to The Real Deal, which caught sight of the liquor license notice on the door with the name of Dinex, Boulud’s company (they are not on the agenda yet for CB1 as far as I can see). They better not touch a thing in that gorgeous interior… “Restaurant Daniel is back up and running and Bar Boulud and Boulud Sud are open again. Cafe Boulud on the Upper East Side was forced to shutter, but the Post reports Boulud is looking for a location to reopen.”
NEW YORK’S MOST VIBRANT ART SCENE
Born-and-raised Tribecan Will Heinrich had another rave review for the Tribeca Gallery District in The Times, calling it New York’s “most vibrant art scene.” “What TriBeCa offers, apart from a brief window of affordable retail space, is a mixed-use ambience that provides art with a more lifelike context than it ever really gets in Chelsea. A painting simply looks different in a place where people live and work than it does on a windy block of nothing but galleries.”
LOCAL ARCHITECT THIERRY DESPONT SELLING HOME
The Real Deal also reports that Tribeca architect Theirry Despont, whose firm most recently is adding three stories to 50 Hudson and also did the Woolworth Building conversion, is selling his Tribeca townhouse at 182 Franklin for $25 million.

according to the this week’s Off the Menu in the NYT, the interior shouldnt change much in the former Augustine space!
“Daniel Boulud, who took over Augustine, the French restaurant that Keith McNally opened in the Beekman Hotel five years ago, said he didn’t plan to keep its name when he reopens it in the spring. But he does plan to retain much of the décor. “We’ll work with it; the charm will remain,” he said. He plans a bistro serving mostly classics, “more classic than I have done,” he said, “with a more chef-driven approach.” “
NEW YORK’S MOST VIBRANT ART SCENE
Born-and-raised Tribecan Will Heinrich had another rave review for the Tribeca Gallery District in The Times, calling it New York’s “most vibrant art scene.” A number of transplants are now located near or on lower Broadway, at TriBeCa’s border with Chinatown. But the most exciting development is the cluster of small spaces upstairs in two office buildings at 373 Broadway (Queer Thoughts, JDJ) and 368 Broadway

I am so grateful for the proliferation of galleries. It’s fascinating to see the ever-changing exhibits, whether just walking by and seeing the works through windows, or dropping in for a closer week. Also, it’s a real positive for the neighborhood, since as a result we have relatively few vacant storefronts, compared to some other streets and neighborhoods. If not for the galleries, what businesses would be taking these large expensive spaces? We would probably have a lot of vacant ground-floor commercial spaces. To the gallery owners, staff, and artists: Welcome to the neighborhood!
Agree :)
I loved Augustine. I kept hoping it would come back. Au revoir mon ami.
Any news on Manhatta?
