Everything changes so quickly....especially in this city. So imagine my surprise when I walk down the street of my old neighbourhood Tribeca to meet sexy Stacey and merry Maryna, I find that at least 2 new restaurants have opened. The much anticipated Ago - another one of Mr. Robert de Niro's ventures, located on Greenwich Street, and this tiny delicacy of a place called Smith and Mills on N. Moore street. One is led into a small garden setting from the 1920's, the details are exquisite.
Even though Tribeca is located near all the cool and busy spots of NY, this part of the street is quite secluded - especially after 5pm. A city within a city. Now with the state of the dollar, the only people who can afford to invest in all the million dollar lofts besides investment bankers and movie stars are mostly of European extraction. And they seemed to be congregating right here at this very hip and happening Smith and Mills for the evening. Located in a former carriage house, it is discreetly placed on a side street which could be missed entirely. In fact I walked past this street 3 times before locating it. Warning: After 730 pm it is almost impossible to get a seat either at the bar or at any of the few available tables. Reservations might be highly recommended.
