  • I see 200 Chambers is showing signs of life -- at least, in terms of liquor license application. Per https://manhattancb1.cityofnewyork.us/event/licensing-permits-committee-9/ "200 Chambers Street, new application for Carnegie Diner 200 LLC dba Carnegie Diner for full liquor license" Do we know anything else about the plan and timing? — J on Anotheroom moving south on West Broadway

  • they don't have great customer services - just talking to each other. and pretty weak coffee. won't be frequenting. — tribecaC on Blank Street Coffee is coming to Sixth and Walker

  • How much foot traffic is on that corner? — G on Blank Street Coffee is coming to Sixth and Walker

  • What Blank Street Coffee should be really known for is their business model: VC money with a low-labor cost business model looking to replace smaller, independent coffee shops. Pass. — malcolm on Blank Street Coffee is coming to Sixth and Walker

  • Agreed about the electricity but who is paying for the attendants. It says a non profit but most non profits receive all or a large portion of their funding from government grants. This means they will be paid by us. — Aaron on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • I don't understand. Doesn't the No. 1 bus travel on Lafayette? DOT is expanding a bike lane and reducing travel lane capacity - sounds like this will impact on buses and emergency vehicles. Yes? Expanding biking and worsening bus transit? Wow — Lisa on Lafayette will get a new two-way bike lane through the Village and Soho

  • Different things can be true at the same time: If there is to be this sort of charging-space, it is an ideal place IMO as the sidewalk is wide (and relatively uncrowded compared to other places, the area is safe due to City Hall, near a subway and it is close to the affluent folks who are ordering food. It is not OK IMO for taxpayers to be footing this - the corporate apps should have been forced long ago to provide this. Also there are many empty storefronts all over Manhattan that could be used for a rest area. And reminder that not everyone gets food delivery - for example my family does not get food delivery. (Actually the biggest users of app food delivery are the young healthy wealthy.) Per City law, restaurants must provide bathroom access to food delivery workers. I am baffled that media coverage - particularly NY Times - has not mentioned this requirement or sought to see if it is working. Relatedly, continue to be baffled that there is no similar concern for gig ecommerce workers who must schlep heavy stuff on sidewalks in bad weather etc or similarly on cargo bikes. With ecommerce delivery, they must work their committed "shift". While food delivery work is tough and dangerous, it is up to the individual worker to decide to do an individual order. Basically - a food delivery worker can decide not to work during a freezing rain. But an ecommerce worker on a shift must work completely during that freezing rain. — Lisa on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • I agree. It’s likely that there is an extremely high use of delivery apps in the neighborhood but one thing I do believe is that these private equity driven services often lean into exploitation of their workers and along with that taking advantage of the rest of us as well as this particular installation shows. I still support it but this is something the private equity people should pay for as part of doing business. In any case these workers are outstanding people who worked through an epidemic and horrific weather conditions and deserve safety and a living wage. — John Gallagher on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • Will know more after CB1 meeting on Thursday. — Tribeca Citizen on Anotheroom moving south on West Broadway

  • Sorry, but they are digging them up. — Tribeca Citizen on The young vandals of Washington Market Park

  • Entitled parents = entitled children. — Cd on The young vandals of Washington Market Park

  • The gazebo to that slide are quite far. Do we really think small children are digging out 30 year old pavers and moving them all the way to the slide? And /or parents are helping them? My guess is the stones were already loose and over time someone carried some over or someone thought it would make for a fun picture and that children are not intentionally digging these up… — Sue C on The young vandals of Washington Market Park

  • @John S: Reality check? An e-bike recharge consumes btw 300 and 1000 watt-hours of electricity -- 0.3 - 1 kWh -- on average. The cost? 10 to 30 cents. Maybe find something else to get upset over? — Komanoff on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • You would hope the parent or guardian these children are with would stop the kid from doing this, but clearly not. — Dellin Betansaze on The young vandals of Washington Market Park

  • Excellent, I'm sure they won't use the sidewalk as their highway to this charging station... — Dellin Betansaze on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • The need for a charging station in the neighborhood likely reflects the high use of delivery apps and services used by residents. Just makes sense. — Manhattanmommie on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • Love the black & white neighborhood photos!!!! — Merle Temkin on The Neighborhood In Pictures: April 4, 2026

  • The delivery companies, including Amazon, have gotten away with some serious malfeasance in their treatment of workers over the years, often by the fiction that these people aren’t employees. I don’t know if anyone here remembers how the entire sidewalk on Hudson by the former Santander Bank was openly used by Amazon as an open air sorting center for distribution of packages in Tribeca. I strongly support what the city is doing for these exploited workers but all these companies should be ashamed of themselves and they should build places like this themselves. — John Gallagher on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • This is only the beginning of the ridiculous streetscape "improvements" that this administration is pushing. The area adjoining the Brooklyn Bridge onramp is absolute chaos and more and more vendors are popping up everywhere - including back on the bridge itself. We are starting to look like a 3rd world country. — Downtown Dad Reborn on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • Fake logos? Does this mean that folks wearing the NYPD and FDNY baseball caps don't work for the city??? Protect your logo with a copyright, trademark or service mark, whichever is appropriate, and use the graphic indicator (like C or TM or SM) to indicate it. It's not foolproof, but it can help. — Gary on Seen & Heard: Stealing the TC logo

  • Ask the neighbors of the East Village street the delivery people have hijacked and turned it into a barracks, a toilet , a shower and barber shop how that is working out for them.. — MBCG on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • Any updates on this? Curious if they are still planning on re-opening. — Tiam on Anotheroom moving south on West Broadway

  • I agree with "G" -- ICE is the first thing I thought of. — Martine on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

  • So, we are letting these kamakazi e-cyclists get free electricity? What’s next? Free charging for electric cars and, hey, why not?. free gasoline for motorists too? — John S on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction
