All-Star Restaurant

Even if only his partners show, Robert De Niro's Tribeca Grill may still attract the most glittering crowd ever assembled in a Manhattan restaurant: Bill Murray, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Christopher Walken, Ed Harris, and Sean Penn. Other than that, the enterprise—housed in the same building as De Niro's film company—will be as efficient and unpretentious as De Niro himself, according to Drew Nieporent, the owner of the tony downtown eatery Montrachet and proprietor of the Tribeca Grill. Says Nieporent, "De Niro sees himself diversifying a bit—directing, producing. This is kind of a restaurant production."
