Proprietor: Robert De Niro

Location: New York, New York, USA

Robert De Niro is so closely associated with this part of the Big Apple that locals refer to it as Bob Row. The Tribeca Grill is a big part of the reason why, and not just because, with 20,000 bottles, its wine cellar is big enough to fit several other wine cellars into. The actor set the restaurant up in 1990 and it remains a New York hotspot, sitting just below the Tribeca Film Center (home to the eponymous film festival, which De Niro also founded). With a list of investors that includes Bill Murray, Sean Penn, Ed Harris and Christopher Walken, we wouldn't mind seeing Tribeca Grill: The Movie.
