A 45-Year-Old Cafe Has Closed in Tribeca
Briefly

Tribeca Park Cafe closed on August 29 after 45 years following an $18 million property sale in January. The one-story building faces demolition for a 10-story condominium by Sumaida + Khurana, with design ties to projects like 157 Hudson and 152 Elizabeth by Tadao Ando. The cafe was known for a Konstantin Bokov mural and appearances in The Assistant, and its closing underscores Tribeca's move away from longstanding delis toward upscale housing. Cipriani's Harry's Table will close November 1, costing over 70 jobs and signaling weakness in large food halls. At the U.S. Open, the Honey Deuce cocktail remains popular, but celebrity-driven food items like Coqodaq's caviar-topped nuggets are generating fresh buzz.
Tribeca Park Cafe, the corner deli at Walker and West Broadway, closed on Friday, August 29, after 45 years. The closure follows the $18 million sale of the property in January. The one-story building is slated for demolition to make way for a 10-story condo project from Sumaida + Khurana, the development firm behind 157 Hudson, the landmark brick building on Collister, and a new building at 152 Elizabeth designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, according to Tribeca Citizen.
Cipriani's luxe Italian food hall, Harry's Table, is shutting down on Saturday, November 1 - another sign that NYC's grand food-hall era is quietly deflating. The 28,000 square-foot spot, which opened in May 2022, struggled to gain traction. The shutter puts over 70 workers out of a job. While the Honey Deuce remains the U.S. Open's buzziest cocktail - moving more than 550,000 of the $23 vodka-lemon-lavender concoctions last year and bringing in nearly $13 million - it has unexpected competition.
