Major Food Group co-founders chef Rich Torrisi, Mario Carbone, and Jeff Zalaznick are opening an unnamed American tavern and steakhouse in 2027, per a press release sent on Monday.<\/p>\n
Eater reported earlier in March<\/a> that Major Food Group was close to signing the lease for Tribeca Grill\u2019s address, at the time, with hoteliers Ira Drukier and Richard Born (Hotel Chelsea, the Bowery, and the Greenwich). It\u2019s unclear if the hotel duo is still involved; Eater has reached out for more information.<\/p>\n In 1990, restaurateur Drew Nieporent and De Niro opened Tribeca Grill, a New American restaurant that turned the neighborhood into a buzzy, cool destination, thanks to celebrity diners (everyone from John F. Kennedy Jr. to Bruce Springsteen to Christopher Walken to Nelson Mandela) and, eventually, the annual Tribeca Film Festival<\/a> that\u2019s happening right now. However, 35 years later, they shuttered<\/a> the iconic restaurant in March 2025, because \u201cthe economics following the [COVID-19] pandemic never fully rebounded for us,\u201d co-partner Marty Shapiro explained at the time.<\/p>\n After Tribeca Grill\u2019s shutter, restaurateur and chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten had been looking<\/a> at the address to open something, but then nixed<\/a> those plans. (De Niro still owns the building.)<\/p>\n \u201cIt is an opportunity to respect the legacy of an extraordinary address while giving people a completely new reason to walk through the door,\u201d Torrisi said through the press release. It\u2019s the same neighborhood as LDV Hospitality\u2019s American Cut<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Major Food Group co-founders chef Rich Torrisi, Mario Carbone, and Jeff Zalaznick are opening an unnamed American tavern…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4944,9,11,10,3988],"class_list":["post-259629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-coming-attractions","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-nyc-restaurant-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
