Montrachet (restaurant)
Montrachet was a French restaurant in Tribeca opened in April 1985 and Drew Nieporent’s first restaurant. It closed in the summer of 2006. Within seven weeks of opening, the ''New York Times'' gave it a three star rating which it kept for 21 years. Unlike other “serious French restaurants” of the time, Montrachet was a remodeled industrial space with pipes that were exposed, original plaster ceilings, young staff dressed all in black and a printed menu in English instead of French. Daniel Johnnes’ wine list gave American wines as much focus as French. '' Wine Spectator'' honored them with a Grand Award in 1994. Alumni Staff who have worked here include Bill Yosses, David Bouley (the original chef), and Debra Ponzek Debra Ponzek is an American chef, who won the James Beard Foundation Award for Rising Star Chef in 1992 beating her then-husband Bobby Flay.

The neighborhood is home to the Tribeca Festival, which was created in response to the September 11 attacks, to reinvigorate the neighborhood and downtown after the destruction caused by the terrorist attacks.
