Bubbys Reopens In Tribeca

As the weather is getting colder and the days are getting shorter, comfort food is a must this season. Grab your friends and family for an unforgettable experience of some of the best comfort food offered in the city. You do no want to miss out on this! Cult favorite comfort food icon Bubby’s will reopen its flagship location on Saturday, November 2.

Retaining its quirky charm and made-from-scratch fare for 29 years, the new space boasts an expanded foyer, bar and front dining room, along with a modern kitchen designed to fulfill more pie orders than ever before.

A perfect place to spend on Thanksgiving Day, Bubby’s offers a wide variety of comfort food that is surely going to impress your friends and family.

“Serving New Yorkers—and diners from around the world—for three decades is a rare milestone. We are happy to reopen this location with lots of ‘under the hood’ improvements that diners won’t even notice,” said Ron Silver, Chef and Owner, Bubby’s. “Comfort food has always been my style and how I love to cook. With our new interior and modernized kitchen, guests can expect the same classic Bubby’s menu and quality of service in revamped surroundings.”

The Bubby’s story began on Thanksgiving Day 1990 when Chef Silver was baking pies and selling them out of a small kitchen at the corner of Hudson and North Moore St, which ultimately became the flagship Bubby’s Tribeca. This one-day pop up has since expanded its footprint to draw in hundreds of thousands of guests annually at a second High Line location as well as six restaurants in Japan. Total pancakes sold: 3 million!

Known for its simple, seasonal and made-from-scratch fare, Bubby’s is a New York City institution for classic, American cooking. The menu features signature items such as fried chicken and pancakes; meatloaf; buttermilk biscuits; as well as a rotating selection of seasonal pies. They are famous for its all-day brunch, but Bubby’s also has a sophisticated dinner menu and the new location will have an expanded front area for happy hour enthusiasts. In keeping with its Southern inspiration, original artwork by Silver is on display in the restaurant.

As a special toast to the celebration, complimentary prosecco will be available for guests who dine at Bubby’s Tribeca opening weekend.

Bubby’s Tribeca is located at 120 Hudson St., New York City.The signature High Line location is at 73 Gansevoort St., and six locations in Japan.

"I would like to take this moment to extend out from the MAD family a special congratulations to our own Barbara Tober and her wonderful, elegant, charming husband, Donald," said Michele Cohen, the Museum's board chair. "She has helped define MAD's cultural legacy, providing a platform for national and international contemporary makers." Chris Scoates, MAD's Nanette L. Laitman Director, said, "Barbara and Donald Tober are a force of nature." Peg Breen, President of Landmarks Conservancy, added, "We spend our time trying to save the rich layers of architecture that New York has. But Living Landmarks are distinguishing New Yorkers who help preserve the city in their own special way. We have another terrific group this year and we're delighted that so many of them could be with us this evening. You've heard so much about Barbara and Donald. Donald is on our board, too. He really is a tourist in his own town, and I really admire that."

"I'm so happy, we're so happy to be a part of this group," said Barbara Tober, MAD's Chairman Emerita.  "To make a difference, to get up in the morning and have something to propel you to go out and get it done - and keep smiling! Everyone of you that I know in this room have done something fabulous, are doing something fabulous, are busy making this city better." 

More than 100 guests braved the rain to celebrate including CeCe and Lee Black, Marian and Russell Burke, Giosetta Capriati, Suzanne and Robert Cochran, Anne and John Coffin, Barbara de Portago, Florence and Richard Fabricant, Ellery Gordon, Boo Grace, Bruce Knecht, Francine LeFrak, Wendy Moonan, Marie-Monique Steckel, Arete Warren, Dorsey and Van Doren Waxter, and Lloyd Zuckerberg.

Why New Yorkers Love Their City

When living in New York City, it can be very easy to forget to enjoy some of the most famous and most treasured sites of the city. The Big Apple is a place that millions of people visit every year, but they have a very different experience than those who call the city home. There are many places that are only known to locals, such as the 25 foot waterfall located on 51st street in between 2nd and 3rd avenue and browsing the endless stacks of books at the Strand Bookstore.

It doesn't matter who you are, or what job you have. Whether you're a high flying lawyer, a successful professional poker player, or a Wall Street Trader, there's no place like home - especially when it is New York City. This sentiment is encapsulated by other New Yorkers, who said there is nothing quite like New York's mix of yellow taxis, skyscrapers, crowds of people, and unique food. Many millions more New Yorkers echo this love for the city.

Of course, it is the locals who know it best, so here are some of their favorite places to visit in the city.

Central Park

Central Park is one of the most treasured places in the city. It is so big that it is possible to stand within it and not even see the legendary skyline that surrounds it. The park is loved by locals who enjoy walking, skating, bicycle riding, and jogging through the park as part of their exercise routine. The endless benches are used by locals to meet and chat, sharing stories with friends and complete strangers alike.

The 843-acre park is home to a boating lake and carousel, as well as many seasonal activities, such as an ice-skating rink on the Wollman Rink in winter and outdoor movie theatre in the summer. Central Park is universally loved because it is a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a tranquil contrast right in the heart of Manhattan.

The High Line

The High Line is another garden space within the center of the city, but it is unlike Central Park in many ways. Firstly, it is much smaller, measuring just one mile in length and being considerably narrower. Secondly, it is elevated up in the air, on what used to be part of the New York Central Railroad.

The park begins on Gansevoort Street and ends at 34th Street, traveling through the district of Chelsea. It was opened in sections, beginning in 2009 with the latest part in 2019 and has a lift and ramp access at multiple points along its route. Thanks to its elevated position, it offers fantastic views of the city, especially at sunset, within a beautifully landscaped park.

Catch a Basketball Game

New Yorkers love their sport, with many going to watch baseball games. New York is home to one of the most famous basketball names, the New York Knicks. However, its other NBA team, the Brooklyn Nets, is performing much better at the moment. Whilst the Knicks are currently considered the least likely to win their conference, the Nets are currently 4th favorite. If the Nets can make it to the top of the Eastern Conference they will compete against the winner of the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. Based on current odds, this will likely be either the Los Angeles Clippers or Lakers.

The Knicks play their games at the famous Madison Square Garden stadium, so even if you are not into basketball you may want to go and check out this famous New York landmark. 

St Patrick’s Cathedral

Taking up an entire city block, the 135-year-old St Patrick’s Cathedral can accommodate up to 2,200 people inside. Its Neo-Gothic style architecture, stained glass windows, and sheer size have made it a major landmark within the city. It contrasts against the modern architecture that is built right across the city and, like Central Park and the High Line, provides a sanctuary of peace for New Yorkers wanting to escape the chaos of the busy streets outside.

The cathedral holds events each day and organizes regular special music events set within the building.

New York is a fantastic city, providing round the clock excitement and a fast pace of life. Whilst this can be exhilarating, everyone needs to relax and unwind sometimes. New York has plenty of opportunities for this too, whether it is enjoying a baseball game, admiring the beauty of Central Park, enjoying the sunset from the elevated High Line, or taking in the beautiful architecture of St Patrick’s Cathedral.
