TRIBECA, NY — The popular Landmarc restaurant in TriBeCa is shutting its doors to the public, the restaurant announced on Wednesday.

"We would like to thank all of our Tribeca guests, family and friends who have been such a joy to feed and take care of over the past 14 years," reads a statement on the dining company's website. "While we’re no longer going to be open for regular restaurant dining in Tribeca, we have something very exciting to share: Marc Murphy and his incredible events team will now be hosting Landmarc Tribeca Events in the space downtown."

Murphy did not explain the reasoning behind the switch for the popular restaurant, except to say he wanted to "change things up," according to a statement.

"It has been an honor to serve the Tribeca neighborhood for so many years," he said in the statement. "My kids grew up eating at Landmarc, and it was the very first restaurant we opened."

The Landmarc restaurant near Columbus Circle remains open.
