Putting 2 and 2 together, maybe she just wants to move the "huge...bad ass dudes" off her couch, but keep them close by? — Robert Ripps on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

I understand your point about revealing how she gets in and out...but like Erik said..this is far from secret...I live a block over and when she's in town there are at least a dozen paparazzi in front of the building and at the back entrance. And to be honest--Taylor did not keep a low profile when she moved into the building. — Andy on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

figures... the cookie shop was the only thing at le district that i patronized. — safe as milk on Nosy Neighbor: What’s Opening at Le District?

http://brobible.com/entertainment/article/taylor-swift-apartment-pizza/ " [...] When I picked up, I was greeted by a girl who identified herself as being from TaylorSwift.com. I don’t often get calls from TaylorSwift.com, and had forgotten about the contest, so I was quite confused. “You entered a contest to attend Taylor’s live stream?” she asked. It all came back to me. “Oh, yes! Of course.” She informed me that I’d been selected! [...] "We started heading downtown, and the bus was abuzz with adeens going nuts about how amazing Taylor was. We got to Tribeca, and when we pulled onto a certain block, the bus started screaming and freaking out. I had no idea what was going on, but I guess the other Swifties knew that this was the block Taylor lived on. If I were Taylor, I would’ve immediately found out which fans knew where she lived, and had them arrested. That [$#!t]’s creepy. "6:30 p.m. – They ushered us into her building, which surprisingly does NOT have a doorman. My parents won’t even let my sister live in a non-doorman building in the Big Apple. I guess the fact that Taylor has a huge live-in security team of bad ass dudes means she can do without a useless old Irish guy sitting in the lobby. I’m so jealous she doesn’t have to deal with awkward doorman chatter. [...] "Taylor, if you read this and realize what an opportunity you blew, please feel free to DM me on Twitter, and we can make arrangements for a follow-up meeting. My apartment has a doorman, so it is safer than yours. Just saying." — James on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

Agreed. Why not? — TG on Red Terra Cotta Facade Proposed for Canal Street

Bruce, Maybe she likes the ability to control when she is or when she is not seen. Makes perfect sense to me. The whole doorman thing can also get irritating and she can certainly avoid all of that — Rohin on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

you should follow erik's links before you criticize his research. from the realdeal.com: "The complaint doesn’t specifically name Swift, but includes Firefly Entertainment, 13 Management and Euro Tribeca — an LLC that she’s used on her previous real estate transactions — as defendants. The lawsuit notes that Firefly and 13 Management — both companies affiliated with Swift — acted on behalf of a “famous celebrity.”" — safe as milk on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

She has been photographed hundreds of times entering and leaving the building. It’s far from a secret. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

Why on earth did Taylor Swift buy an apt in a "non doorman" building like 155 Franklin? She can easily buy in a doorman building that has an underground garage which would completely shield her from everyone. It's as though by buying this apt she WANTS the fans and paparazzi to be waiting out front! Any other explanation just makes no sense! When I first saw she bought at 155 Franklin this immediately came to mind. Any opinions on this? — Bruce on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

I know this site is moderated. You don't have to print this if you don/t want, but I do strongly suggest that you don't publish details of famous people's homes such as Andy does--how she gets in and out of her building. Swift has a Stalker who hangs out inside her building, on the roof, etc. Nice of Andy to help him out? I'm sure other famous people might have similar problems. I don't believe it's necessary for your journalistic integrity to print information to help stalkers. — Harry Nelson on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

The construction might be possible but getting the city to approve a curb cut can be very difficult. — Makes You Go Hmmm.... on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

“Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the House Next Door?” That implies that she got out of paying the large commission, which is untrue, and maligns here character. Elliman’s recourse for commission can only be with the listing broker, not the buyer. has is with the broker, not Swift. Swift paid her commission, over one million dollars. It’s the brokers who are in dispute, not uncommon. Elliman should be arbitrating the dispute against the broker.x It would be nice if you did some research. — Harry nelson on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

Ha! I went over to take a fresh photo and I never even looked at the doors. But I don't think it's that tough of a change to convert the left bay of windows to a garage door (and demolish interior walls to make room for a car). — Erik Torkells on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

153 Franklin doesn't have a garage (despite what the facade looks like on Franklin) it maybe did at one time- but the floorplans show that that street level area is a parlor/screening room now. So she'd have to get it approved to convert to a garage..and then the above mentioned access to 155? That's a tough one (IMO) I know she occasionally uses an entrance on Leonard St (she takes the elevator down to the basement of 155 and walks through a connecting door and up a flight of stairs) — Andy on In the News: Is This Why Taylor Swift Bought the Townhouse Next Door?

We bought motorized solar shades from Innovation Shades last year and they were great to deal with. I highly recommend them. — SW on A New Shade Showroom on Hudson Street

Really? You are finding offence where none exists. BPCrez never said not implied that the emptiness at NEG had anything to do with a woman taking charge. He was just stating a fact - one which has been apparent with the current leadership, not the new one. — APB on New Chefs at Racines and North End Grill

Ate at Racine’s last night. The food was delicious (so much so that my companion and I “forgot” to offer each other a taste) and a wonderful wine was chosen for us. People should go before the current chef leaves! — APB on New Chefs at Racines and North End Grill

ur joking right...who said it had anything to do with the chef being replaced? its been emptier and emptier all year. I even refer to him realizing that for why he is leaving. Would have commented on any NEG post with the above no matter who replaced him — BPCrez on New Chefs at Racines and North End Grill

The building was listed for sale last March at $13,500,000. https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2017/03/22/in-the-news-tetsu-opening-forecast/ It's now listed for $11,900,000. — James on Spotlight: Souths

After living in TriBeCa for 11 years, I recently moved uptown(for the same reasons mentioned in this article). I used to order from Souths all the time and really miss the joint! Their macaroni and cheese is by far my favorite item on the menu. I do hope this place stays around for a while, and doesn't get priced out. — HH on Spotlight: Souths

Why haven't I gone in? I feel like you are either a Souths person or a Walkers person, and somehow Walkers has become my place when I want to scratch that "itch". Whether correct or not, they feel like they fulfill the same need for me. Maybe I will try South's sometime for a change. You asked! — verdang on Spotlight: Souths

South's is the best! I have never had better nachos anywhere. We would go with our baby in the stroller and the staff was always great in accommodating us. Never had a bad meal or bad experience there. — Brett on Spotlight: Souths
