Good Afternoon Erik, this is located on the corner of Leonard Street and Hudson Street right outside the wine and liquor store that has sadly closed down, have a good weekend, regards, Sonia F. Stock & Joseph Altman — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca…?
I personally prefer the new lockers/combination locks. They have it at all the other equinox gyms and its about time they installed them in Tribeca. Also, I agree the Tribeca Equinox needs a face lift (the spin bikes need to be replaced! Most make this awful noise!) - its definitely lagging behind their other locations. The staff are wonderful and so friendly. I'm still a member and will continue to be cause there is really nothing better and more convenient in the neighborhood (or in the city). — Nicole on Seen & Heard: Concerns About Equinox’s Tribeca Gym
The names (in blue) in the text all link to each restaurant's website, where you'll find the address, menu, latest info on hours, and reservation links. — Erik Torkells on Six More Restaurants Worth Going Aboca

Looking forward to trying some of these restaurants. Would you please put the addresses in the future? Just a suggestion. — Rosanna on Six More Restaurants Worth Going Aboca
The Tribeca Equinox could use a little TLC. There are often notices of the steam rooms not working, there have been leaks, some of the equipment hasn't been refreshed in a while, and the quality of the spa technicians is not what it used to be as some of the great masseuses have left over the past few years. All first world problems, but for the price, it could be better. I haven't tried the new lockers yet but this was one of the last locations where you still had to remember to bring a lock (the new ones have built in combination locks) so I would think it is an improvement? I understand that membership numbers are up the last few years and it has been noticeably more crowded. But, all that said, I've found the staff and trainers to be friendly, love the location and won't be quitting any time soon! — Lisa on Seen & Heard: Concerns About Equinox’s Tribeca Gym
The new lockers are awful. The manager's response is that you can use the coat check and should take a photo of your locker on your phone each time you use it so you don't get confused over where you put your stuff. With that said, I still love the gym so will put up with it. — Elizabeth on Seen & Heard: Concerns About Equinox’s Tribeca Gym
I just looked over the photos of the Curbed article... One problem those photos clearly show is the awful state of all the buildings in the Western stretch of Canal, due to graffiti vandalism. Surely that first impression of "urban wasteland" discourages business from opening there as well. — Marcus on In the News: The Corrosion of Canal Street
"the only way to “fix” Canal is to discourage traffic from using it as a cut-through across Manhattan." Agreed. Congestion pricing, as suggested by James above, would be one way to achieve this goal. Another step that would make a huge difference: Finally get rid of all the counterfeit sellers. They create an atmosphere of decay and lawlessless, they trash the streets, urinate in the doorsteps, block the sidewalks so no one can get by (even blocking the wheelchair ramps). It's a disgrace. And a radical idea: Commercial rent-control, or at least some kinds of breaks, to get businesses to move into these vacated ground-floor spaces. — Marcus on In the News: The Corrosion of Canal Street
I think you can assume that almost anything happening on the floor of the Oculus is paid marketing. In this case, a deodorant brand (or something like that) is promoting itself by aligning with a cause. Why the mall would want to encourage people to shop less, of course, is a mystery. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Y7 Yoga Studio Opens Monday
The clothing trash mountain is an ad? I was hoping it was designed to raise awareness of the environmental problem of disposable clothing and "fast fashion". — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Y7 Yoga Studio Opens Monday
I quit my membership at Equinox about a year ago. The overcrowding, decline in cleanliness, rudeness of staff and blatant disregard for the "no talking on cellphones in gym area" by the Trainers were all contributing factors. My new gym suffers all the same problems but at less than half the price. — Makes You Go Hmmm.... on Seen & Heard: Concerns About Equinox’s Tribeca Gym
The fact that they set the building 30 feet back from the alley (to comply with zoning and create legal residential occupancy facing the alley) should have been a big, obvious, physical hint that this wasn't a bonafide public street. — James on The Latest Salvo in the Franklin Place Battle
NY Post: "A wealthy artist thought $16,300 per month in rent would get her a swanky apartment in Tribeca — but all it got her was an illegal slum, according to court papers. "Sheryl Aufrichtig has filed suit against the owner of her former home at 11 Hubert St., claiming the high-end digs were really a dangerous flophouse, with a rodent problem, a front door that never locked and a ceiling that collapsed into one of her bedrooms. "The tenant eventually found out that her apartment was actually illegal, as its certificate of occupancy does not permit residential use in the three-story former motor freight terminal, according to the suit against Aufrichtig’s landlord, Adam Zoia; broker, Andrew Azoulay and real estate firm, Douglas Elliman." https://nypost.com/2018/02/08/my-16k-per-month-posh-pad-was-actually-an-illegal-slum/ — James on In the News: Unbuilt Maya Lin Mansion on the Market
Number 1 Chinese at 10 S William St. A neighborhood gem! Just as good as Chinatown restaurants and sometimes even better. — Melanie on Seen & Heard: Life Preservers Installed on the Riverfront
Congestion pricing, perhaps, would help Canal Street. — James on In the News: The Corrosion of Canal Street
All the wealthy people who bought there, along with their overpriced lawyers and real estate brokers, never considered this?? — Seriously? on The Latest Salvo in the Franklin Place Battle
Yep! They have good lunch specials for takeout or delivery too — tribeca16 on Seen & Heard: Life Preservers Installed on the Riverfront
Private also means you'll be compensated if the City takes the street by eminent domain. — James on The Latest Salvo in the Franklin Place Battle
We've been ordering from King Wok at 222 Varick Street. They deliver to Tribeca via moped-like bikes so it gets it here pretty quickly. Food is always very good and travels well. The more you put in your order the more extra items they give you complimentary. The delivery guys are always super friendly too. One thing - they never ask how you plan to pay. You have to tell them if you are using a credit card in advance on the phone. — JMc on Seen & Heard: Life Preservers Installed on the Riverfront

Re: Disabilities Act — you have lawyers abusing this, and then you have landlords/architects blatantly disregarding it. 15 Park Row just installed a new mailroom that requires going up 5 steps. — thinktank on Seen & Heard: Life Preservers Installed on the Riverfront
