I hope they will regulate the decibel level of the music that spills out of there--walking past them in the occulus is annoying — cami on Joe & the Juice Is Opening Here

This concrete monolith will look horrible. Brick, limestone, or all glass would have been far superior. — Avi Goldberg on A Closer Look at 30 Warren

I was thinking that any art would be better than the last round in the park, but I'm not having a good feel about kitchen trees. http://gothamtogo.com/b-wurtz-kitchen-trees/ — mruptight on In the News: Dog Run at Risk of Sinkhole

Sorry, no. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: A Peek Inside Trader Joe’s

Any word what’s going into the recently vacant JCrew space on Prince St? — Lexi on Seen & Heard: A Peek Inside Trader Joe’s

Rachel, This is from Beth, who used to visit all the time when I worked around the corner -- and who has made occasional trips there since then. I walked over last week for matzo meal cupcakes and was so sad to see that you've closed. I really appreciate this interesting and informative interview about the store's closing. I'll miss the wonderful people who served me there, and I'll miss you and our talks about football. And, of course, I'll miss the great coffee and delicious treats. I wish you and your staff the best always. xo, Beth H. — Beth on Tribeca Treats Is Closing

If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, here's a page with links to all sorts of old photos of the area: https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/historical-tribeca-a-scrapbook/. — Erik Torkells on Tribeca Then and Now: W. Broadway and Staple Street

This is awesome. Rush of memories flooding back, even ~ 3 years after this post. Good times, good times. — JOR on Remembering the Wetlands, One Night at a Time

I really appreciate these articles. For someone in their mid 20's who didn't grow up in the area, it's nice to take a close look at how the city has transformed. No better example than Tribeca. I hope the city and landlord can work together to preserve the character of the neighborhood and not forget the history. — Jonathan on Tribeca Then and Now: W. Broadway and Staple Street

Awful about the trees — Nicole on Seen & Heard: Arborcide on Warren

Almost 100% sure they're temporary walls. Probably haven't got the facade yet but want to start working on interior — GA on A Closer Look at 30 Warren

It's a mystery that I suspect will solve itself in time. — Erik Torkells on A Closer Look at 30 Warren

Did they explain to you how the 2nd and 3rd floor will have the windows shown in the mock-up if they have been completely walled off with metal studs and yellow insulation panels? — Leo on A Closer Look at 30 Warren

Odeon does have an ice cream cart out in the warmer months and the ice cream is quite good. — Rohin on In the News: Three New Ice Cream Shops

I have been complaining about the lack of an ice cream shop in Tribeca for years! — Torly Kid on In the News: Three New Ice Cream Shops

Judging by a historical aerial picture I saw, it appears the school was built with an empty asphalt surface where the playground and dog run are now. The real question is that if it is private (which it seems to be given the fencing, the key code, and the membership fee), why is the city responsible for anything? If it is public, then it should be open to be public for all recreational uses, especially in an area where there is such a need for open public spaces. — Kacee on In the News: Dog Run at Risk of Sinkhole

I love these photos and live on Staple St. Sadly the photos behind 55 Hudson have changed the least because the bldg refuses to maintain the rear or the property and garbage, graffiti and men urinating multiple times a day against the doorways doesn't get washed away or cleaned up. So it's just like living in old NYC! #acknowledgedNimby — juliew. on Tribeca Then and Now: W. Broadway and Staple Street

if memory serves, the dog run predates ps 234 and 200 chambers street. it's private in the same way that washington market park used to be private. it's similar to those private gardens that exist on empty lots in the east village. membership is open to everyone. the city government wasn't funding anything back then and these facilities were started by citizens with there own money on vacant city owned land with permission. the parks department didn't get involved until later. — safe as milk on In the News: Dog Run at Risk of Sinkhole

The Broadsheet says that Manhattan Youth's Bob Townley said the Parks Department owns it. If that's true, I don't know why the membership restriction would exist. Perhaps someone out there with a longer memory than mine can clear it up. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Dog Run at Risk of Sinkhole

Isn't the dog run private property? There's a lock on the entrance gate and requires with a membership fee charge. http://www.dogownersoftribeca.com/ — Kacee on In the News: Dog Run at Risk of Sinkhole

Love these, Eric! I worked for Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising in the late '80s when they moved down to Hudson & Houston and we would wander down to Tribeca for drinks after work. Odeon and a small bar along Greenwich was all I remember being there along with the Royal Canadian Pancake House. I'm going to dig through my photo archives to see if I have any to add to this group. Thanks as always for the fabulous work you do on behalf of the community! Diane — Diane Cimine on Tribeca Then and Now: W. Broadway and Staple Street

Hi Laura, Thanks for getting this project to fruition and keeping with Larry's wishes. Four years later...hope all is well. Is the book still available? Buying it seems only appropriate as a small return for the free ecology meetings, etc, downstairs...not to mention probably a great coffee table book. Did you guys live in TriBeCa? Peace! — Simon on Remembering the Wetlands, One Night at a Time

This is so wonderful to find online. I was a regular for the Tuesday Eco Night jam downstairs/Rainbow Drum Circle. I remember one night a bunch of cops had to go into the Sanctuary, (think someone passed out) and I was amazed that no one bothered to hide their weed...in fact, one guy offered up a hit to one of NY's finest, (he declined)...I was sure it was a Juliani-fueled raid....not so much...now THATS a cool club! The music was always great...and everyone was just awesome there...now it's probably some type of high-end spa for the condo elites...oh well, maybe they are super cool too! If only they knew what those hallowed walls experienced, for a period of time...it was a such MAGICAL PLACE! But then again, so is Brattleboro, VT...but that's not a 15 minute bike ride from the East Village! — Simon on Remembering the Wetlands, One Night at a Time

He said “Maybe the reason why creator community in NYC sucks so bad is because it’s not centralized” Huh? On what basis does he conclude that NYC doesn’t still have a totally vibrant active creative population? Granted it is no longer centralized, the way it used to be in SoHo and Tribeca before the real estate developers got hold of this area and so many local arts people were forced out of their studios and homes so they could be turned into luxury lofts. That true and sad history makes it a cruel irony that someone thinks he can centralize creativity back into Tribeca. — Laurie Spiegel on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”
