Braised short rib and pan roasted chicken are just some of the items available at the Tribeca Grill for the winter edition of NYC Restaurant Week.

"They're all items from our regular menu, so we didn't create special items just for [NYC Restaurant Week]. We wanted people to really get a chance to sample what we are about," said managing partner Marty Shapiro, who has been at the restaurant since it opened in 1990.

He is a partner along with famed restaurateur Drew Nieporent and Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, along with other celebrity partners.
