Major Food Group has confirmed plans to open a new American tavern in the former Tribeca Grill space on Greenwich Street. The address, 375 Greenwich, once home to the restaurant co-founded by Robert De Niro, has remained closed since earlier this year.

Rich Torrisi, Mario Carbone, and Jeff Zalaznick, the partners behind Carbone and Torrisi, will lead the new project. Representatives for the group have not announced an opening date but have indicated work is underway inside the landmark building, located between Franklin and North Moore streets.

Tribeca Grill, a fixture in the neighborhood for decades, served its last meal this spring. By Monday afternoon, passersby noted papered-over windows and the removal of the old signage. There was no menu posted, and the group has not released details about the kitchen team or initial offerings.

Major Food Group’s shift to an American tavern marks a departure from its Italian-focused restaurants. A spokesperson said the team is aiming for a broad, classic menu. The project adds to the ongoing wave of changes in Tribeca, where several legacy spaces have changed hands since winter.

With summer crowds returning to Lower Manhattan, the fate of prime corner spaces like this one continues to be closely watched by local business owners and longtime residents.
