Eater confirmed its own story from March saying that Major Food Group, which has Carbone, Torrisi and Parm among others, along with hoteliers Ira Drukier and Richard Born (The Greenwich on North Moore, Hotel Chelsea, The Bowery), have taken the Tribeca Grill space for an American tavern and steakhouse. That commercial unit in 375 Greenwich was purchased by Drew Nieporent, Robert De Niro and several other investors somewhere around 1990, when they opened the restaurant.

Major Food Group confirmed with me: “We are thrilled to be taking over this iconic space and are excited for what’s to come,” they wrote in an email. “While plans are still in the early stages, we do not have additional details to share just yet. We anticipate opening toward the end of 2027.”

In March, the owners thought they might keep the name: “We are in the process of trying to finalize the lease, and we would like to try to keep the name,” Drukier told Eater, adding that the culinary vision would stay largely intact. “It would be the same theme — a grill for people to eat in on a regular basis.” The decor will likely change. “The style that was popular at the time looks a little dated now, so we would bring it up to a modern look.”

(Keep the center bar!) (And burger and Burgundy night!)

Tribeca Grill closed on March 1, 2025, after 35 years in the space. They auctioned off a ton of equipment this past spring — furniture, paraphernalia and decor — including the iconic chandeliers designed by David Rockwell.

NB: The family behind Beefbar is also working on a restaurant in the former Sarabeth’s space just down the block and retained the Rockwell Group to design that restaurant as well. More on that soon.
