Just in time for the Tribeca Film Festival, Robert DeNiro will be making an appearance Sunday night at the Tribeca Grand Hotel. Kind of.

The hotel is extending their Grand Life series from their AM Grand Sunday Brunch with complimentary kiddie films to the PM with screenings of classics and cult faves. ]]> shiralevine 2009-04-16T15:33:16-05:00 40.7193730 -74.004826 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/4/8/171030/7436 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/greenwich1.jpg" class="top"><p> Considering that <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Greenwich+Hotel/local/1047"><b>Greenwich Hotel</b></a> owner Bobby DeNiro is also the man behind the <b>Tribeca Film Festival</b>, we expected his hotel to be either sold-out or ridonkulously expensive, like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/4/8/155935/1278/hotels/Only_Rich_Folk_Will_Be_Attending_the_Kentucky_Derby">Kentucky Derby hotels.</a><p>To our genuine surprise, we found rooms on April 22nd, the start of the film festival for a mere $475 a night via the hotel's website.
