This is one of my favorite places. I recall it from the 1980s when I was working on wall street as a 20 something. We were in awe of its coolness back then. And you know what? Same today. But what really works for me about the Odeon is the service and feeling that you belong there. This is not some palace to snobs but rather a real restaurant that has lived for 40 years at this location. I initially didn't think much of the NYer article because it was so random. Now I know it was factually mistaken too. — PATRICK Valentino on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Odeon is an absolute gem. Hope they survive and thrive. And journalists make crap up? Ha. They all do (except Pam of course). And as for restaurants stretching the regs a bit to create space for tables - they need to. Even in good times, restaurants make 10% profit. Now they are getting crushed and are not even making half their income. Lets celebrate their ingenuity and NYC style perseverance. We all could use some more of that. — Demetri on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

On a couple occasions I've noticed the line at the Fulton St CityMD location is shorter than that at Chambers St.. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on And so it begins…again.

Why would you compare a jersey city resident to NYC resident. Also the Staten Island Ferry became free with the metro card FYI, the fee was 50 cents prior . Lastly, why not toll the east river bridges that has always been a free ride for decades if you have a problem with the Staten island discount (never has it been free). — Excuse you on Verrazzano Bridge toll will soon go both ways

Wasn't it Spartina before The Harrison took that space? — TC on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

What a loss! I first stumbled upon this store when I was expecting my first son - I had just found out about the gender, and the sales associate warmly helped me find a star-filled blue hat so I could use it to reveal the gender to my husband that evening. We would later move to Franklin Street a few months later, and my son would wear that same hat by EGG on his way home from the hospital after birth. — J on EGG by Susan Lazar has closed permanently here

The link to the article on our website refers to a walk-through within Tribeca Grill's construction site during the winter of 1989. The restaurant opened officially to the public in April 1990. After all this time, with all the meals served, with great events and precious memories, it is not the semantics that matter. A time machine can take us back 30 years, where the world has experienced profound changes. But within the walls of Tribeca Grill, the objective has never changed from trying to provide good food and drink in a welcoming and authentic setting. — Tracy Nieporent on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

El Teddy’s. — Faith on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Sorry - I didn't see the "rules" stating a restaurant had to have one name for consideration to "The List". I was just pointing out that one restaurant group has maintained a presence at one address for a very long time. Montrachet certainly helped put Tribeca on the map for the uptown crowd and after David Bouley was unceremoniously dumped, Bouley's namesake restaurant further solidified Tribeca as a dining destination worth traveling to. I'll ask Drew when Tribeca Grill opened exactly the next time I see him. And since you're a stickler for rules and accuracy, the name is Bellucci - with two "l"s... — Bellucci on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Nicely put Martine. Spoken like a true pioneer of this neighborhood. You’ve embraced change in a way that others can’t seem to. Thank you. — Vale on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Thank you. Here it is: Cannot block subway grate, utility hardware or Siamese water connection — KC on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I remember great Margaritas at Teddy’s (now ACE Hardware) and Layla where American Whisky is on West Broadway. — Broadway Mamma on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

You can read the regs here. — Tribeca Citizen on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

At Harrison & Greenwich: Prescott's Bar; then Yaffa's, now Tribeca Zona. Before Tamarind: Socrates and George Steinbrenner's sports bar. Before Socrates, it was a workingman's diner (name began with E). Magoo's on Sixth Ave. Riverrun on Franklin St. The Lower Manhattan Ocean Club on Chambers. The Delphi on W. Broadway. On Harrison: How's Bayou, which became The Harrison, which became Maison Keyser. Puffy's had been there long before 1976, when I moved into the neighborhood. They used to play Bach on the jukebox in the wee hours. — Jane on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

There will be opportunities for new blood to come into Tribeca (and NYC) and thrive. Not everyone likes to drive a car to the market or pay for snow removal or leaf blowing. Not everyone wants to manage a house and all of its maintenance issues. And it may be that it becomes cheaper to live here since prices have soared elsewhere. Let's praise what's great about Tribeca! Great sunlight, the river park, the little parks, the architecture, and so much more. The lights on my little street have come back on -- many have returned. I have been here since 1977. The Pandemic has hurt us but let's see what happens down the road. We don't need to dig the grave yet. There isn't an area without problems. Between hurricanes, tornados, fires, mudslides, smoke, etc. City, rural, suburban areas are all under pressure I wish those who move peace and happiness. But why bash and bruise on the way out? — Martine on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

There are some restaurants that just take over the outside area and act like this is their restaurant and we the pedestrians trying to walk by are infringing on their space. The Odeon's cramming of tables in front of their restaurant is way too crowded and feels like an occupying force. Sorry but I don't think they have the right to use the public streets in the way that they have done - notably the line of tables over the subway grates. Isn't that against the law for street usage? — KC on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Tribeca to Jim “Drop Dead” — Mark on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Oh! And here I thought it was the Tribeca outpost of Four Seasons Total Landscaping. — David B on Where in Tribeca?

I'm pretty sure Puffy's opened in 1977. — Tony Towle on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

No one seems to be on the attack or questioning your recollection. In fact, it appears to me that these folks really appreciate that you made this list. People are just correcting a few numbers. Even if they are off... this isn’t a competition. Why you getting triggered? Chill. — Settle Down Beavis. on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I find this article ridiculous! Many restaurants have less then desirable seats outside (but still a safer choice them inside), so why pick on Odeon? At least they are following safety guidelines. For example, many restaurants have fully enclosed patios covered on all four sides, all the tables may be desirable but unsafe! Wolfgang’s for example, I love this place but you can not have four sides to your patio if you want me eating there! — Tracy Becker on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I interviewed the brothers just before the pandemic, in February, and will run that interview shortly. They are calling this their 30-year anniversary. But I am glad for you since that clearly gave you a lot of pleasure! — Tribeca Citizen on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I agree with this in the short term. But NYC will come crawling back eventually. It always does. Maybe it will take a little longer this time but I don't think NYC or Tribeca will ever be "over" for good. It just won't be exactly what it was before, and thats ok! The rich families are out, but young singles are still in. — K on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Jim, from a fellow native New Yorker, bye. No one will miss you — They Should Have Sent a Poet on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

HAHAHAHAHA You, TriBeCa Citizen & Belucci are wrong about when TriBeCa Grill opened & I was right. It opened in 1989 like I said it did & here's the proof from The Myriad Restaurant Group themselves: https://www.myriadrestaurantgroup.com/news-item/the-thrill-of-tribeca-grill/ — Beloved O on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker
