  • OMG. I can't imagine being patient enough to write that response, let alone deal with the complexities of making the statue. I'm looking forward to it. — EHS on Why 56 Leonard’s Sculpture Is Delayed

  • i'm looking forward to seeing the "now and then" exhibit. i would say the shot above is probably from the 70's. the west side highway seen behind it was torn down by about 1982. — safe as milk on Seen & Heard: “Tribeca Now and Then” Exhibit

  • Huh? "273 Church street is a five story mixed-use elevator building located on the east side of Church Street between Franklin and White Street. Constructed in 1910, the building is 25 feet wide and 75 feet deep making a generous 1,761 SF floor plate with approximately 7,800 gross SF and ceiling heights which range from 10’ to 11’9”. The property has approximately 3,500 SF of additional developmental FAR (consult a licensed architect for further guidance). The property offers an incredible opportunity for a user, investor or developer, with multiple use options in the heart of prime Tribeca, arguably the most sought-after neighborhood in Manhattan for living, working and entertaining. The high-traffic location is surrounded by high end residential, boutiques and stores, restaurants, galleries, parks and schools. Nearby transportation consist of the 1, A, C, E, N, R, Q, J, Z, W trains all within a three block radius.

  • But where do you go for your fun? Bet it’s not Tribeca. Sure it’s a nice neighborhood but it’s not fun anymore. — Andy C on Seen & Heard: Brooklyn Flea Might Not Return

  • 25 Hudson St tenant is Core Power Yoga, per latest DOB filing. https://www.corepoweryoga.com Filing with DOB as a "dance studio" may be a way to skirt the physical culture requirements associated with yoga, or it may be a way simply to get DOB approval for the physical work of construction prior to tenant getting its physical culture permit. — James on Seen & Heard: “Tribeca Now and Then” Exhibit

  • I much preferred this Goop report. I am, alas, increasingly out of step with Tribeca. https://drjengunter.wordpress.com/2018/01/28/in-goop-health-wellness-panem-style/ — A. on In the News: Hungry Ghost Says It’s Opening a Café Here

  • You know, some of us still love it here. It may be different from the “good old days” but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Just sayin’. — SW on Seen & Heard: Brooklyn Flea Might Not Return

  • YAY! — KP on Dig Inn Is Opening on Greenwich Street

  • It may be strange, but as I read the floorplans they all show an elevator in that location, with the shaft slightly set back from the window. — James on Nine Mystery Storefronts

  • Awesome news! Their food is delish. — ARF on Dig Inn Is Opening on Greenwich Street

  • 78 Franklin St is not a new storefront but apparently merely a construction enclosure for a rebuild of an existing elevator shaft.

  • Twenty First Gallery is at 76 Franklin, where George Taylor Specialties was (https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2018/01/02/twenty-first-gallery-is-moving-to-tribeca/). The "storefront" at 78 Franklin that I mention in this post is wedged between it and Aqua. — Erik Torkells on Nine Mystery Storefronts

  • Absolutely. It's about time the WTC became the humming center of business and commerce as it had been since the '70s. We need normalcy in our community. — Andrew Parke on In the News: Another Tenant for 3 World Trade Center

  • My family lives next door, and this is our second dining room. Cannot tell you how much we love this restaurant and the owners and staff. One year they lent us a high chair for OUR Thanksgiving dinner. It's like having the CHEERS bar right next door. Very special. Food is great too. Makes Tribeca feel like the neighborhood it is. — elizabeth on Spotlight: Souths

  • Anyone who’s still in Tribeca is a recent transplant or too rich to care. For me, the day the Raccoon Lodge closed was the day this neighborhood completely gave up its soul. — Andy C on Seen & Heard: Brooklyn Flea Might Not Return
