History of Tribeca Buildings
Anyone Have Power Yet?
From reader JF: “A Con Ed spokesman just said on 1010 WINS that they hope/expect to get power back to lower Manhattan sometime today (he couldn’t be more specific). For what it’s worth….” I’d say it’s worth a lot, especially compared to “by 11 p.m. Saturday.” If your power comes on, please say so in the comments—and state your location.
If you’re just curious about an area, please don’t comment here.
The goal is to help people who have evacuated, as well as business owners who haven’t been able to open without power.
UPDATE 11/2 7:20 p.m.: Con Ed’s City Hall network has power (east of Broadway from Canal to Frankfort). Also: 176 Broadway (near John).
UPDATE 7:48 p.m.: Southeast FiDi appears to be coming online. UPDATE 9:32 p.m.: From Luis Vasquez at the FiDi Fan Page on Facebook: ” The following buildings have full power: 15 John, 15 Park Row, 111 Fulton (The District), 71 Nassau, 80 Nassau, 60 Nassau, 55 Liberty, 90 William as well as the Holiday Inn on Nassau. all others still appear to be out, though 80 John has been told by ConEd that it will be up tonight. I suspect 59, 85 and 99 John will all shortly follow suit. the Stock Exchange, 1 Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and the Deutsche Bank building are all up on generator power. The Federal courthouse in Foley Square is brilliantly lit including its crown! UPDATE 10:44 p.m.: From Con Edison: “ConEdison’s aim is to restore Bowling Green network before 12am. Network boundaries: Broadway to South St. and Wall St to State St.” And: “ConEdison’s aim is to restore Fulton network btwn 12am and 8am. Network boundaries: Frankfort to Wall and South to William.”
UPDATE 11/3 7:38 a.m.: POWER IS BACK IN TRIBECA! Con Ed reminds everyone that soggy basements may force some buildings’ power to be delayed. Also, I just heard from a reader who said that her building doesn’t have heat or hot water because the building doesn’t have steam yet.
UPDATE 9:07 a.m.: “Email from mgmt that 99-101 Warren complex still without power due to large amounts of water damage in the building.”

mmm this would be:
“Buildings below the Brooklyn Bridge between Broadway and the East River will get their power back on Friday — but only if their electrical equipment has not been seriously damaged by flooding from Hurricane Sandy, which caused massive power outages throughout New York City, said John Miksad, Con Ed’s senior vice president of electric operations.”
Battery Park City lost power in one building at Gateway Plaza and the Ritz Carlton Hotel but otherwise has power, or so I am told. I even saw an M20 bus toddling along yesterday. The Shake Shack is open — as are the other stores in the Alley –and November Fridays’ special custard is Cranberry Almond Marzipan. A few lights are on at Stuyvesant High School. Most of the stores in the southern end of BPC are open like Picasso Pizza.
OOOOH, I just heard the same report from about power back on today on WNYC!!!! I’m hopeful, even though the Con Ed outage map is estimating Nov 3 at 11 PM.
UGH, now WNYC is saying that only the lowest part of very lower Manhattan will get power back today — below Frankfort Street (basically, the Seaport). The rest of us have to wait until tomorrow. Sigh.
from ConEdison (Twitter): “There is a possibility that two networks at the very tip of Manhattan (FiDi south if City Hall) will be back by today, all others still on track for Sat.”

Polarn O. Pyret has power at 200 Chambers Street and our wonderful team who has been working all week in the dark to get our store open will now have the luxury of light. Thanks to all in the neighborhood with their well wishes for our speedy re-open. We are very eager and hope to be open by early next week. We are also planning a celebratory event when we do so. We will let Erik know all the details and hope to welcome all who can make it for some Swedish refreshments and good cheer.
Lisa – are they saying what the issue is at 89 Murray? Was basement flooded? The emergency generators were working.
Thanks Lisa!
I anyone has any other info on 89 Murray, that would be great!
For those residents at 89 Murray, I just spoke with ConEd. The meter for 89 Murray is located at 270 Greenwich, which is Whole Foods. ConEd told me the estimated time for power restoration is today at 1 pm.
Thanks Lisa – also would love to know if there is power at 89 Murray. Thanks all for the updates
Thanks Vince. As soon as power comes back, we owe you a beer for your investigative talents…Ashley & Jeff
Thanks Vince! I also spoke with Rebecca who works at the front desk of 89 Murray and she is hopeful that today power should be restored.
Power on at 25 n Moore but elevators not yet operational, blown fuse apparently
Jeff – I’ll take you up on the beer, but let’s wait for them to get cold! ConEd said it was an estimate. I think the representative was helpful because I wasn’t yelling. Hang in there.
Everything is working at 50 Murray Street – thank you, Tribeca Citizen, for everything you’ve done for the community the last week. You were my go-to resource!
Hello! This may be old news by this point, but Chambers Street Wines is open! We’ll be here until 9pm tonight, doing all local deliveries, and offering 15% off on cases in an attempt to draw in some business after five days of being closed. Come see us and buy some wine!
power on Beach between Greenwich and Hudson!
Does anyone know if there is power on 310 greenwhich? Thank u!
Hi:) Does anyone know if power is back in “the towers” on Greenwich Street??
Hi – have heard conflicting reports on 10 Liberty; the last one that the building is on the same grid as some other damaged properties and cant get the power back until they get inspected/fixed, which could be a week. Does anyone have a confirmation of this? Or heard anything else? Thank you!
For 89 Murray residents, was just in contact with someone there. ConEd is in the building now. Doing an inspection. if all goes well, they plan to turn the power on.
