Also Herr Paleto L. Tr. Gaffeur, da haben Sie bei mir (beim Querlesen ) im Nachbar-Thread mit dem Stichwort TriBeCa einiges ausgelöst. Nicht wegen de Niro oder Mr. Unforgivably Cringeworthy Trump.
Der Tribeca Grill steht seit 2001 ganz weit oben auf meiner Löffelliste.
Die Empfehlung eines Freundes, der dort mal während der Flitterwochen speiste (btw. 2001 waren die Flitterwochen auf immer und ewig zu Ende).
Hr. de Niro hätte man auch gesehen. Christopher Walken wäre für mich eine interessantere Begegnung gewesen. Die feine Speisenauswahl vom Valentinstag 2002 habe ich mir aufgehoben, obwohl das Dinner damals nicht stattgefunden hat.

Interview mit David Gordon
Sommelier Talk: David Gordon of Tribeca Grill
The veteran wine director has helped shape the New York City wine scene for almost three decades
Twenty six years ago, Tribeca Grill opened under the ownership of actor Robert De Niro and restaurateur
Drew Nieporent — with investments from Bill Murray, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Lou Diamond Phillips and
Christopher Walken— in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood of the same name. Within six months, David
Gordon, now 55, was hired as a manager.

Wine Spectator: Being De Niro's restaurant, Tribeca Grill has always attracted its share of celebrities. Any stories from serving them?
David Gordon: I'm a big basketball fan, so I'll tell a Michael Jordan story. Michael Jordan, when he unretired back in the mid-'90s, it was a huge story. And [one of the first] games back, he scored 55 points against the Knicks. The night before that game, he came here with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ahmad Rashad. J
ordan actually called me over, and he was ordering the wine. He ordered the most expensive white wine on our list at the time, which was Corton Blanc from Chandon de Briailles, very small production.
They drank it, they loved it, they went back into the kitchen and took pictures with everybody.
On the way out, Marty Shapiro, the managing partner, goes, "You talked to Jordan. I have the same shoe size as him, 12 1/2. I can't get Air Jordans in my size. Will you ask him about it?" So I said, "I'll try." Two weeks a later, a box comes, Air Jordans, 12 1/2, from Michael Jordan. Marty slept in those sneakers for like a week.
