Where in Tribeca…?
Know where this was shot? Say so in the comments.
Update: Smithers is looking increasingly invincible. As for his question about the bite-me-boobs billboard, I don’t know. Is it gone? To be honest, it never really caught my eye. P.S. Next week’s “Where in Tribeca…?” will go live precisely at 8 a.m. on Friday.

Fifty Franklin…..wait, no, that’s not right…..hmmm…..I don’t know, how about 7 Harrison on the Staple Street side? BTW, whatever happened to the big boobs billboard (bite me)?
Yes, the billboard has been painted over with an erotic shade of black. Really, it didn’t catch your eye? I guess the Robert Mango window is more eye-catching with all of it’s nudity and….paint strokes. I can’t push my stroller past that window without feeling as if I had sinned. Forgive me, Father.
I took a picture for posterity that I can send if you like ;).
@Robert – can you blow it up and put it back up on the building? Erik’s detective skills are very lax when it comes to awe inspiring cleavage. Shout out to all the ladies in the ‘hood.
Bon Apetite agreed with the stroller pushing bunch that due to the demographics of the neighborhood, the ad was not appropriate. The same demographic BTW who is their target audience. Once they were advised about how offended moms like me were, they acted appropriately and even offered me a free subscription. Who am I kidding, their lease for the space was probably up.
@Erik, can you please find out what the demographic breakdown is for the Tribeca area? I can’t believe Tribeca Mom went to such lengths to get herself a free subscription. Bon Appetit’s target audience is people that cook, not strictly moms that push strollers. Remember kids, giant cleavage is bad. And all women with cleavage are bad women, regardless if they can cook or buy magazines. Now go to bed, Jimmy, mommy has to run for Co-op president.
As far as demographics, take a walk around 3:30 any day of the week or read a newspaper about school overcrowding. Maybe visit Washington Market Park on a sunny day after school gets out. Doesn’t require much research to figure out the demographic of Tribeca. BTW, my building is a rental, PTA Board would be more my style.
What about the other hours of the day? Is 3:30 the exact time to take accurate demographic readings? 3:30 PM, right? AM would be a completely different demographic. And you just stand there and look up & down the sidewalk? Is Washington Market Park where all of the residents of Tribeca meet or is it just one of the places you go if you have cleavage-aversed children? I think it takes a little more effort to determine the demographics of Tribeca, just a little. Stop looking at my cleavage, Jimmy, mommy is doing subjective research!
3 a.m. would not be accurate because all of the residents are in bed since they have to get Jimmy up for school or baseball in the morning. Get real, they don’t call it Triburbia because of our hopping club scene. Check out this article from 2006 http://www.nysun.com/new-york/new-yorks-newest-suburb/34220/ Looks like the research is in.
I hope someone else is teaching Jimmy how to do proper research. A 2006 article with no actual data? “Welcome to TriBurBia. That’s what the former artists enclave known as TriBeCa is now called by the young families rapidly putting down roots in the neighborhood with already overcrowded schools.”
The 2000 Census data doesn’t look good for your thesis (http://www.zillow.com/local-info/NY-New-York/Tribeca-people/r_270951/), so I’ll wait until the 2010 Census breakdown is in, then we will know who gets to decide if cleavage is offensive.
Right because the 2010 census has already proven to be such a reliable and accurate source. BTW, it has already been decided and the billboard is down. Maybe you could get a free subscription by contacting Bon Appetite and asking to have it put back up!
Has your research been proven to be accurate? You should have advised the Census Bureau that all they had to do is count strollers and read the NY Sun, and not waste their time counting any other human being moving along the sidewalk or anywhere else. No, Jimmy, the proper spelling of the magazine is not Bon Appetite or Bon Apetite, it’s Bon Appetit. Now go to the overcrowded school, so you don’t end up in the overcrowded prison.
This has been entertaining, but I’m going to close the comments before I have to ask the two of you to take it outside.
