Its distinctive art-deco look is prominently displayed. The Best Little Boy in the World (2005): The film adaptation of Andrew Tobias's memoir, which detailed his experience as a closeted gay man, features scenes at The Odeon.

Billions: This Showtime series about high-stakes finance has used the restaurant for its New York City scenes. — Tom McGahren on Crowd Sourcing: What movies were shot in Tribeca?

  • I frequently had breakfast at the Towers Cafeteria starting in 1976. Even today The Odeon has a machine at the entrance where you can take a stub, as in the old days, which was punched when you slid your tray down the rails and pointed to the scrambled eggs. A full breakfast for under $2 as I remember. — j on Seen & Heard: Inside artist John Willenbecher’s studio and apartment

  • When they were filming "I Am Legend," I happened to be watering my sister's plants in her loft at 62 Beach. The Fisher Mills Building was a major setting for this movie. I leaned out the window and saw Will Smith enter the lobby. I grabbed my phone, dialed my sister (who was in Amagansett), and craning my head out the window said with loud excitement, "Will Smith just entered your building!") I think I ruined the shot! — J on Crowd Sourcing: What movies were shot in Tribeca?

  • Tribeca is dead unfortunately. Tribeca has been ruined by the "im important because im a mommy with a stroller" crowd. The most ordinary SUBURBAN people have moved to Tribeca and ruined it. Its embarrassing to be in tribeca now. They come to the city and make it into the cush soft life they really want from the suburbs, but news flash losers nyc isn't meant to be your child's play ground. Tribeca used to have soul. It used to be eclectic. Sure some families, but respectful families that care to integrate to nyc life in a slightly quieter neighborhood. It was community. People supported the community. From person to person to retail and resturants. Now all it is is developments for suburban losers who shop on Amazon and don't support anyrhing other than a nail salon and maybe a coffee shop. Its LA meets Ohio meets Utah. Ugly. All the money and still look and act awfully. Go shop at one of the stores in tribeca and at least look better. (And all the luxury developments are cheap and dated already) — Tribeca Truth on Tribeca Park Cafe will close Friday after 45 years
