A building mate emailed me about the opening of Marc179, Marc Murphy’s  (Landmarc, Ditch Plains and Chopped) latest unique venture in Tribeca.

Marc 179 is open only three days a month. offering a rotating $75 prix fixe menu, plus a small but inviting wine list. When not used as a restaurant, the space will be MM Kitchen Studio, a private event space, demo kitchen, and filming studio.

Marc179 takes reservations two months in advance, and the menus are published one month out. The upcoming dates already posted include April 11th-13th, May 16th-18th, and June 20th-22nd.

When I visited in March, the prix fixe menu included an arugula salad with pan-roasted artichoke in a sweet garlic vinaigrette, bucatini cacio e pepe, roasted chicken breast with mushroom and chocolate mousse with bourbon whipped cream ($75). They also served crusty bread and amazing Umbrian Gold olive oil with the meal. Everything was delicious.

I recommend a visit.
