Immerse yourself in the excitement of NYC at Sheraton Tribeca New York Hotel. When you go-and I encourage you to before it gets overwhelmed-write in the comments what you thought.Welcome to Sheraton Tribeca New York Hotel A Tribeca Hotel, Ideal NYC Location I chatted with the bartenders about Tribeca (“There are a lot of strollers,” noticed one), how it’s fancy in its way but not in the way everyone expects, and Weather Up’s menu feels like somewhere else to me. Previous reports have also mentioned a broccoli rillette, which doesn’t exactly send the mouth watering, and I like broccoli. I didn’t order food, but the menu is very limited and pinky-in-the-air: caviar (from $22–$380 per ounce), oysters, a mackerel ceviche, and homemade potato chips with spicy mayo. If that “($14)” made you wince, Weather Up is not for you richness is the point. They can make other drinks, of course, but that didn’t seem the point. I ordered the Quaker ($14)-rye whiskey, cognac, housemade grenadine, and lemon juice-and it was a like a sidecar’s wise-cracking best friend. There are six specialty cocktails on the menu, as well as a “Keep Calm and Carry On” option, in which the bartenders will whip something up for you based on what you tell them. Granted, all that tile could make noise a problem…. I sat at the long bar, but I think it’d be a blast to come back with a group of four or six and hang out in one of the booths at the front or the back. It’s glamorously dark, which is why my photos are grainy. Subway tiles line the ceiling (forming one long vault-if that’s the right word-the length of the room) the bar is copper (or at least copper-colored?) the water pitchers are crystal (or at least cut glass). The room bears no trace of Blue Bench, its former occupant. Trust me when I say that no one cares about that. (I’m talking about you, Terroir and Ward III.) And yet everyone-a hostess, two bartenders, and a manager (?)-I spoke with at Weather Up Tribeca was lovely, and it’s not because I write this blog. Weather Up Tribeca is a grown-up bar the likes of which we don’t have many of too many are swarmed-that’s too strong a word but I did just have a drink-by after-work meat-market types. on a cold Monday and was the first patron there, but I kinda loved it. Evidence: (a) the bar is a sister to a “speakeasy” in Brooklyn (b) there’s no sign (b) it already made headlines by having a special ice thingamajig. And I was concerned that Weather Up Tribeca-the new cocktail lounge at 159 Duane, next to Duane Park restaurant-would be full of it. I’ve had it with attitude, so I generally avoid places that I think are going to serve it hot and fresh.
