‘Robert De Niro Way’ street renaming proposal sneered at by Tribeca Community Board: report
A proposal to name a Tribeca street after Robert De Niro was reportedly poorly received by some panel members representing Lower Manhattan. According to Page Six, members of Manhattan Community Board #1 weighed in last week after Tribeca Enterprises, which De Niro co-founded, proposed naming the northeast corner of Franklin and Greenwich streets "Robert De Niro Way" to commemorate the actor's 80th birthday.
