  • "How long till the base of 1 World Trade Center lights up with ads?" Please please no. Far too many oversized ads in this city. Makes it so crass and ugly. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Two Hands Gave Up on Dinner

  • I agree! I think the designs are a pleasant surprise. I liked the Candy canes and Christmas Trees. It'll be interesting to see what else they come up with for future holidays and events. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: Two Hands Gave Up on Dinner

  • I disagree. They had some pretty cute ones going with the candy canes and snowflakes. I mean it is Christmas time, it's as original as you can get. — Anthony on Seen & Heard: Two Hands Gave Up on Dinner

  • It became a 4,000 seat concert venue the same way everything becomes something around here: just build it, and if you weren't supposed to, no one will make you un-build it. — J Parnell on In the News: Concern Over Pier 17 Rooftop Events

  • Wonderful news - what a loss the neighborhood would suffer if they couldn't find an affordable space. The businesses over on the East side of Church Street will be very happy as well. — TG on Church Street School for Music and Art Found a New Home in Tribeca

  • @Tribeca talen - Everything south of Chambers is NOT TriBeCa, until a few years ago when it spontaneously changed according to real estate agents, and I suspect the Broadway border is just as fungible. — Real Tribeca Talent on Where in Tribeca…?

  • Why are the animations on the base of the WTC so terrible? Did they spend any time on them at all? There are glitches, bad color choices, and utterly unoriginal design concepts. — Designer on Seen & Heard: Two Hands Gave Up on Dinner

  • "Battery City" sounds like it could be a department inside Best Buy. — jon on Seen & Heard: Jill Lindsey Sneak Preview

  • That is 54 Franklin Street, part of the Tribeca East Historic District since 1992. Just sayin' ... — James on Where in Tribeca…?

  • 108 Leonard is simply NOT TriBeCa and it shouldn't be allowed to call/market itself as such. It is Civic Center, at best. — Triebca Talent on Where in Tribeca…?

  • Have we expanded the boundaries of Tribeca? That's east of Broadway. Just sayin' . . . — Bruce Hood on Where in Tribeca…?

  • I didn't mean that as "knowitall" I meant it as "knowing all" - as in, you're the best resource for knowledge about lower manhattan south of....well, anywhere.) — mm on Seen & Heard: Jill Lindsey Sneak Preview

  • You know it all - I can't wait to see this place open. We have so many skyscrapers in this city, I'm surprised there isn't a restaurant on every roof. — mm on Seen & Heard: Jill Lindsey Sneak Preview

  • Was away until last night, so just catching up- Cortlandt Alley at Franklin Street. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca…?

  • Follow the money. The Mayor and City Council get big donations from the real estate industry. The industry expects something in return. — James on In the News: Concrete Tower Planned for FiDi

  • When it comes the arcades, why isn't the monetary transaction being highlighted? 200 Water Street received an ability to build higher in exchange for building an arcade. There has to be a record of the deal, even if 40 years old, and if that record doesn't have a expiration date - oh well - if 200 Water want the arcade, they can make the city an offer and buy themselves out of the deal. Taxpayers just giving them the arcade is sorta like trickle-up welfare. — J Parnell on In the News: Concrete Tower Planned for FiDi

  • Happy to get the sidewalks back... felt a bit like ducks stuck in a hunters trap navigating that lovely mess... Sad though as it seems this Hotel project does not seem to be able to move forward. Would have been great for the neighborhood. — Rohin on Seen & Heard: Greenwich Street Sidewalk Finally Reopened

  • I love Adjaye's work, but this feels so out of place. And balconies (sorry, loggias) seem to be the new trees on the roof trend. I'm always amazed at how few people actually use their's when available, and open spaces 60 stories in the air will be wind machines. — mruptight on In the News: Concrete Tower Planned for FiDi

  • Maybe giving the 1st Precinct 4 days' advance notice of a crime will enable them to actually do something about it. :-) — James on In the News: Concrete Tower Planned for FiDi

  • The Link NYC devices have a lot more expensive hardware and site preparation and underground telecom wiring back to the nearest manhole. The wayfinding pillars seem a lot cheaper and simpler to fabricate and install. — James on Seen & Heard: Greenwich Street Sidewalk Finally Reopened

  • Call your bank or credit card and dispute the charge. The bank or CC will refund your money and deal with the legal stuff. I did this because wicked did the same to me, and the problem was taken care of by my bank. — anonymous on Wicked Juice and Kitchen Has Closed

  • City marshals are not government employees. They are available for hire to enforce Civil Court orders, like eviction for nonpayment, collection of debts, etc. They are not peace officers and have nothing to do with criminal law enforcement. — James on Wicked Juice and Kitchen Has Closed

  • Can’t quite understand how that disastrous assemblage of barriers is legal! — Rohin on Seen & Heard: Spring Studios’s Encroachment on Streets and Sidewalks
