Restaurants in New York City

Robert de Niro's Restaurant's

TriBeCa Grill

Address: 375 Greenwich Street (at the corner with Franklin Street)

Telephone Number: 941 3900 (If you're already in Manhattan you will not need the area code)

The (1998) Rough Guide Review says: Part owned by Robert de Niro, so people come for a glimpse of the actor, when they should really be concentrating on the food - fine American cooking, with Asian and Italian accents at around $30 (1998 prices) a main course.  The setting is nice too; an airy brick-walled eating area around a central Tiffany Bar (rescued from the legendary Upper East Side singles' hangout, Maxwell's Plum).  Well worth the money.

Nobu:

Address: 105 Hudson Street (at the corner of Franklin Street), Telephone number: 219 0500.

The (1998) Rough Guide Review says: De Niro's best known New York Restaurant.  A lavish woodland decor complements already superlative Japanese cuisine.

Interesting Restaurants (not owned by Robert de Niro) 

Tom's Restaurant - aka Tom's Diner

Address: 2880 Broadway (at the junction with West 112th Street).  Telephone number: 864 6137

This is this restaurant made famous by Suzanne Vega's song, Tom's Diner.  The exterior of this restaurant also features, between scene changes, in the American sit-com, Seinfeld.  The restaurant is otherwise un-remarkable.  I know, because I have eaten there.  If you go to this place, you go only for the associations.  There is nothing else to recommend it.

  7. Times Square - Be Careful with this one.  I must have walked right through Times Square at least three times, looking for Times Square and completely unaware that I was in it.  It is not a Square and the Times Building has, I believe, long since disappeared.  The only clue that you are in Times Square, as far as I can remember, is that it is lit up like Piccadilly Circus (Only More so)
