Last night's meeting of Community Board 1's Tribeca Committee finally brought confirmation that Gunther Bilali of Anchor Bar is opening a restaurant at 27 Desbrosses (the southeast corner of Washington). Check out the floorplan (with DJ booth) and menu....
Also on the Community Board 1 agendas for October: Desbrosses bar; Smashburger opening in FiDi; proposed rooftop addition for the Atalanta on N. Moore; P.S. 234 crossing guard; Chase Manhattan Plaza explanation; a chance to see inside 4 World Trade Center.
