It's a real problem. Neighbors are trying to get them to move the fence back, especially since the site is idle. — Tribeca Citizen on An update on 26 Federal Plaza
God bless you for mentioning Margalit Fox. The best. Because of the nature of the biz, though she left the Times years ago, her stuff still appears from time to time. If you want the full effect, try her splendid, book-length account of an historic superpuzzle (Linear B), "The Riddle of the Labyrinth." Lousy title, but every word inside is interesting. — Robin Clements on An update on 26 Federal Plaza
Yes, indeed! That was one amazing rehearsal dinner!!!! Party Was On!!!!!!! — joan martling on Seen & Heard: Sailing season is underway
Just a shout out to the very nice people Zucker's staffs at the kiosk. Efficient and friendly and very quick. — TG on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions
Thank you. Margalit Fox is a wonderful, subtle writer! There is a certain, rare seam of women journalists - Margalit Fox, Margot Adler, Andrea Mitchell - with a beautiful, distinct, New York sensibility that infuses their work. — Bruce Ehrmann on An update on 26 Federal Plaza
I wish they added a Bacon Egg and Cheese on a roll and vegan scallion cream cheese options — AW on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions
Can someone explain why there is SO MUCH DOG feces all over the sidewalks? Why don;t dog owners clean up and police other dog owners? Only city in U.S. that is like this. — Ira M on Where in Tribeca?
Speaking of projects that close sidewalks, 360 Broadway and Franklin Street! That now abandoned construction site has taken away the sidewalk on the east side of Broadway and around the corner of the south side of Franklin. It forces people to walk in the street. Why is that allowed to remain as is? — Rosanna Lake on An update on 26 Federal Plaza
Right! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?
20 years of constant construction on federal plaza with zero accountability. They build, they tear down and build again. It’s unreal if you have tracked their activities. This property is why we need a debt ceiling to end the government fleecing of America. — Stop the spending on An update on 26 Federal Plaza
This sign can be found on the ConEd building that spans from Franklin and Leonard Street. This sign is on the Leonard Street side. Happy Memorial Day weekend. — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?
Agreed. I'm also highly offended - but NOT AT ALL surprised - by Zach's manipulative and inflammatory remark about Tribecans who "questioned why a black man had his name plaque there..." This statement is entirely devoid of truth or facts, and I need to call it out because it is offensive to those of us who have and do experience actual discrimination. — Zach's former neighbors on Tennis court times for sale on Craigslist
Anyone remember la vita pizzeria at the corner of west and vestry ? Next to ponte restaurant . — Eugene on Tribeca in the 1980s
The city allowed the bank to take it back and close it to the public. It was the subject of a couple City Planning meetings. — Tribeca Citizen on Other private uses of public space that make neighbors nuts
while we're on the subject what about the biggest illegal grab of public space by a private party in tribeca? that is the public lobby of bank of new york mellon at 240 greenwich street /101 barclay street? as far as i can tell, it's never been accessible to the public. whenever i've tried, the security guards act like i'm nuts and turn me away. https://apops.mas.org/pops/m010002/ — josh on Other private uses of public space that make neighbors nuts
i love how gq spins it as a "grimy out-of-work bar." liquor store was a very popular hip bar that closed unexpectedly and sat for some months before mickey drexler converted it. — josh on In the News: Art advisor is sued, closes Tribeca showroom
Too Bad, Looks like the House wins on this one! — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?
Bacon Egg and Cheese on an Everything — JK on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions
My suggestion for Zucker's is to offer more vegetarian and vegan options (like many shops are doing)....for example Just Egg (as a replacement for traditional eggs) and plant-based sausage and bacon (there are many delicious options). And fwiw, the counter staff are VERY unfriendly, not sure what that's about — Dan K on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions
If they haven't, Zucker's ought to contact Stuyvesant HS and offer students some sort of snack deal upon presenting a student ID. Teenagers like to *eat,* and the subway entrances around Boagrdus is where loads of Sty students begin & end their day (they have out lunch too). — J Frank P on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions
Yes. https://tribecacitizen.com/2020/08/20/our-sophies-cuban-has-closed-permanently/ — james on Old Kid Back on a New Block: Sophie’s Cuban
Agree! They need more bagel sandwich options. — K on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions
Would love for the kiosk to offer whole wheat bagels! (Both plain and everything). Have to go to Chambers for those too, but would prefer the kiosk for a quick, simple order pickup. The kiosk is great and hopefully more neighbors will catch on to its convenience! — Emily D. on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions
More vegetarian options! And later hours. — Reader on Reade on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions
