July 2025

July was as July should be, right? 
Summer is hot and humid with crazy afternoon thunderstorms.

I do so love Mother Nature and her take-charge attitude.

The days stretch out so long. I can picture all of you on porches watching the sunset. On beaches, digging your toes in the sand, skin tingly from the day’s kiss of the sun. Lazy meandering bike rides down country roads. Arms stretched out and hair streaming.

And I can just imagine the bounty of deliciousness on tables and blankets. Crispy fried chicken, cold. Potato salad, pickles, corn, sliced tomatoes, deviled eggs. Not to mention lobster rolls, crab cakes, shrimp, and pan-fried just-caught fish. The wines?? Quenching and clean anything from Corsica, Greece, Malaga…Sicily, Provence, Galicia. I cannot keep up with all that seems to bring a smile to my taste buds on a late-day lunch treat or the end of a night of having fun with all of you. Anyone who has known me for longer than a minute knows my obsession with rosés. Year-round, for that matter! Montenidoli Rosato with Shrimp and slivered jalapenos Anjou Rose d’un Jour with Ajo Blanco Gros Nore with Veal Terrine Pibarnon at the end of our shift with cheese Sexy and deep in color rosé from the beautiful coast of Provence, Chateau Malherbe with Rabbit Confit ravioli I cannot believe my simple joys. My glass runneth over.

Chip and I had classic treats for our Fourth of July weekend and a couple of extra days off…like a breath of real vacation. Amazing.
Cheeseburgers on the grill. Fresh salad with ranch dressing. Cornmeal fried Carolina Shrimp and slaw.


Tribeca continues to offer a welcome open arms attitude for what we want to offer. New and continuing guests. Everyone keeping the pitterpat.of conversation rolling around the room like a carousel.


And that, dear ones, is the best thing we can ask for.With you enjoying gives us the fulfillment of our dream.


We had the honor of hosting private evenings celebrating a Wedding and two Birthdays. To have a guest choose to share their happiness with us and our team is really so very special.

I look ahead wistfully for the gentle cooling temperatures that Fall will bring. And the way the light turns pink and violet at dusk. And of course, the changes for the menu and wines. It is always a rolling tide. From our friends at Northwind Farms in Tivoli, Guinea Hen. Like everything that they do, a flavor bomb. Knodel of brioche, corn, thigh, and liver. A Jura blend of Mondeuse and Persan is a nice complement. Searching madly for Fresh NC Jumbo Lump Blue Crab…elusive! Missing it. Drop in if you are gallery hopping and taking the scene of Tribeca in. We love to say hello, see your smiles, share a taste of something. Enjoy the remaining and rushing by days of Summer.
