At last night's meeting of the Community Board 1 Tribeca Committee, Matt Abramcyk and Akiva Elstein presented the plans for their latest Tribeca restaurant. Check out the floor plan and sample menu.
It's not much of a surprise, because when Ivy's closed, they told me that they hoped to "do a breakfast lunch and dinner service for all our neighbors in the community that we love so much."
It's certainly a blow for affordable dining in the neighborhood. The question now is, does Matt Abramcyk still plan to turn it into Maritime? / 3 comments
