Fun sign TriBeCa Smiles! — TG on Seen & Heard: Sunday Nights at the Strip Club

Hmm, I am torn about the suing of the DOE - it is sort of like suing oneself as a tax payer. I think there must be a better way. You also don't want a parent to become hysterical in front of their child in public or around people we don't agree with - the kid notices how their parents handle uncomfortable situations; it was two kids and the humper clearly needs some attention to know right from wrong but the mother needs to chill out and remember there are professionals at the DOE who can work on this issue. Squeak the wheel but lay off the demand of financial gain. — TG on In the News: Are Independent Pharmacies Doomed?

And which New York Dolls would that be Will? The gents in drag blasting rock n' roll or the naked ladies? — TG on Seen & Heard: Chipotle Update

I never would have figured that out. Thanks. I mean it. Sometimes architects are a bit too clever with the detailing. — Will Meyerhofer on Nosy Neighbor: What Are These Panels on 7 World Trade Center?

When I think "fine dining in TriBeCa" I know I think "New York Dolls" ... — Will Meyerhofer on Seen & Heard: Chipotle Update

You did a stupendous job with these old photos, Erik! I wish I'd realized, when I took them, that they might be significant decades later as a record of "lost" Tribeca. I was not thinking of posterity, alas. I snapped these photos to use as references for the miniatures I was making, which were inspired by the glorious decrepitude of old Tribeca. Thanks for your astute detective work in identifying many of the buildings. — jane freeman on Tribeca Then and Now: Franklin Street

"creativity" is 1 of those wrecked words that buzz around language (like plastic bottles in the sea or space junk debris in the sky). If what is meant by "creative" is awareness, insight, originality, then there is plenty in Tribeca for those who have fresh eyes. — robert janz on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”

Thanks for taking the time to arrange these and provide comparisons, Erik! Really makes you realize how much graffiti can mar an urban landscape. I've really taken for granted how little of it there generally is in Tribeca. — David on Tribeca Then and Now: Franklin Street

It's sad to see Battery park Pharmacy close...the slow shift to corporate stores seems inevitable. East of City Hall, I have been using Downtown Pharmacy on William Street for my RXs-they are amazing. — Pam Warshay on In the News: Are Independent Pharmacies Doomed?

Googling "Bread and Monkey" would lead you to Greenleaf's site, https://www.breadandmonkey.com/. There's a "shop" link in the upper left corner of that site. Click it. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Are Independent Pharmacies Doomed?

How do we get some banana bread — Victor Kennedy on In the News: Are Independent Pharmacies Doomed?

I like Casey, a lot. He's a great editor, and an entertaining storyteller. And his drone-ability speaks for itself. He's not afraid to explore, experiment and take risks, which is why he has the following he does. He came to NYC without anything and built up something fairly significant (like...$25 million significant) from nothing. He is passionate about what he does and I think works really hard, uses his smarts, and found a way to connect to viewers, while also managing to charm a few corporate giants who took a chance on the new kid. His spot for Nike is fantastic and refreshing... oh, but that may be too commercial for "Williamsburg" dwellers and their million dollar shacks. Get over it! For all the haters who are bashing creativity, I ask..what do you have to show for yourself? What makes you the judge? He's running a valid business, a legit commercial production house... it's no easy feat. It's too easy to say he's not creative or be jealous of his money. Go out and do it yourself. But don't be such a negative dead beat. It's petty. — valencia on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”

I called out someone today on Broadway who didn't clean up after her very large dog made a very large poop. Her excuse? "I've trained him to poop on the subway grates"...as if no one ever walks on the subway grates! And it would take a helluva rain storm to flush that massive load through the grates. — Makes You Go Hmmm.... on Seen & Heard: Who’s Lived in Tribeca the Longest?

I'm not sure I can really get a sharp focus the target of "Deli Grossery", but the deli that preceded the one currently at 198(?) Church had this appetizing offering that I was quite fond of: https://flic.kr/p/kcuMKZ — David G. Imber on In the News: The Beekman Hotel’s Nightclub

Casey Neistat is as creative as Matthew Silver. And how will he decide on who gets to have residency in his factory. Most likely the young, white, beautiful get preference, even if or esp. the talentless or uncreative. — Kane Shiro on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”

People are horrible and rude, they curse me every time I tell them to clean their poop, they poop on the playground and on the smallest park. Now, they don’t even get fines — igor on Seen & Heard: Who’s Lived in Tribeca the Longest?

When my older son was playing baseball at the nearby ballfields, my younger son & I would sometimes venture over the Pathmark, where we would stock on on basics for about half what they would cost in Tribeca. The Pathmark also had vending machines selling 30+ year old baseball cards, which was a bit quirky. It's horribly tall & visually unappealing replacement is the areas 432 Park Avenue- visible from everywhere, and ruining the views of the Manhattan Bridge. — Robert Ripps on Field Trip: Two Bridges

That sucks! My fav hangout when I visit NYC. Jason, Thank you for all the fun nights. — Anne-Marie on Souths Is Closing

No, CN doesn't get it. He gets it to those who'd consider a painting of four dogs playing poker and smoking cigars high art. Or those who enjoys and likes America's Funniest Videos. — QU on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”

Casey Neistat came to NYC with nothing. He built his wealth with his creativity. He may buy things, but creativity is not necessarily using a paint brush and painting something or coming up with good lyrics and a tune. His creativity is by finding new and exciting things that people like. — @@@ on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”

I don't have an opinion on the "factory" but I loved his Aladdin Magic carpet prank. He made a lot of people smile and perked their curiosity that day! How can that be bad? And the snowboarding, well good for him. Why not enjoy a day some would consider bad and others might consider good? Wish I had been on those skis during the snow storm and who wouldn't want to ride on the magic carpet? I think many would agree it all made us smile! Thank you Neistat for that. My late father once said if it can make you smile that's a winner! That being said it takes a lot to beat the guy that walks down West Broadway on the weekends in the Summer with his microphone in hand greeting everyone as he passes them by...now that's creative! — Sonia F. Stock on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”

I really enjoy Casey's vlog. He's relatable and interesting. The drone shots up the HRP and the music are soothing. I always feel like an insider when I see a video and can say, that's the juice press on Warren or something familiar. I wish him and any creative's good luck. to those who are negative, just don't watch. A creative zone is a great idea and I hope it thrives. I like the idea better than another We work or Starbucks, or Some other chain store. Ps- I met him at NYRR's Brooklyn Half bib and t-shirt pick up and he could not have been nicer. He gets it. — Yael on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”

This makes total sense. If he opened this in Williamsburg, where people know who he is, he'd be laughed out of the neighborhood. — J Parnell on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”

Really stinks. Great place and even better people. It will be sorely missed. — Ken on Souths Is Closing

there are so many obstacles to doing creative work in manhattan. i applaud casey and anyone else who gives it a shot. — safe as milk on Casey Neistat’s New Tribeca “Factory”
