The only problem w feta is that it can be too salty. I’d be nice if they have options for people who have to watch their sodium intake per doctor’s orders. I won’t hold my breath. — John on New Kid on the Block: Greca

I’m always shocked by the lack of Greek restaurants in Manhattan. Especially fast food places. So this is great news! I can’t wait to try it! — Lori on New Kid on the Block: Greca

I was in Chelsea Wednesday early evening so decided to stock up at the Chelsea Whole Foods there before the storm and before coming home to tribeca. The shelves there were stocked and there were plenty of eggs and even quite a few varieties to choose from. Weird. Is it the Mgmt at WF tribeca - OR is it just delivering below Canal St? — Darla on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

Just opened the package of Brie I bought at Whole Foods - the smell of mold was immediate and spots everywhere. When I was in the store yesterday, I bought a different cheese because there was a big 20% off sign - but no discount at checkout. Customer Service called the cheese department and informed me that the sale ended two days earlier and said I should have looked at the date (!) Maybe Amazon should stick to online shopping. — A. on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

The comment published on the Tribeca Trib article suggesting an escalator for the disabled and that other disadvantaged groups, the tired, is breathtaking in its cluelessness. Exactly how will an escalator help a wheelchair user? — A. on In the News: ISIS Selfies

Ha! Well, as a short guy who must depend on his wife to tell him, when he dresses himself, that he doesn't look like he's with the Fire Sale Circus, I guess I feel the concern. — David G. Imber on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

Whole foods - amazon is the worst thing happening to retail. The stores will have no inventory b/s that is the amazon business model. Stop shopping amazon if you care about local shops and retail. — Jj on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

"8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday" The earlier, 6 p.m. Friday closing (vs. 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. otherwise) confirms the idea it will be kosher. — James on More on the Plan for the American Flatbread Space

From the NYT article: "Perhaps the biggest environmental challenge is that Red Hook, portions of which are built on landfill, sits more or less at sea level and is vulnerable to rising seas and flooding." — James on In the News: ISIS Selfies

Won't Red Hook be more or less underwater in a couple decades? It was totally submerged during Sandy. Seems a bit foolhardy, no? — Will Meyerhofer on In the News: ISIS Selfies

Really? You're dissing the dog? — Nudelfrau on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

I remember hearing those ladies! Wow - such a long time ago. How the TriBeCa world has changed. — Maryann on Sazón Has Closed

What a horrible thing to write Cami. I cannot believe you may be my neighbor. I certainly do not want to know you. Skaters are so wonderful to watch. The culture is youthful and inclusive. So what if they are a little noisy. Damn they are having fun and it is fun to watch. I wish more young ladies were out there too. Skate on! Cami-buzz off! — TG on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

Before they opened the new hamburger take out station they had an express register for 5 or fewer unweighted items..that was eliminated...I asked a previous Manager to put in an express line and he said no, he could not. Yes, Trader Joes, with a tighter profit margin than WF, always has quick moving lines because they employ sufficient people. WF, especially in the morning, has long lines and few registers. THEY HAVE NO COMPETITION IN THE AREA AND THUS DON'T CARE. They will only improve if more of us use Fresh Direct and Peapod. Mr. Sinatra reads these posts..Sir, you have no idea at the level of dissatisfaction in the community, and I think you know how much we want a Trader Joes, an Aldi, or someone so we can say goodbye to WF. At first WF was a godsend in 2008 when you opened - all that good will is gone. You have a gold mine, but no competition. Why dont you provide surveys in store for our comments...I think you would be shocked. Comments, sir? — John on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

Ah so sad. Some local color gone. I loved the energy coming from the place. Everyone seemed like they were having a good time. Harkens back to a time when one could hear the gospel ladies singing on Thomas Street. Damn — TG on Sazón Has Closed

So of course assault is the answer? That spot has been used by skaters for decades, and the building has tried all sorts of things to prevent them from skating there. Wouldn't a better option be to put a couple large plants there? — sean on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

On Tuesday I went into Whole Foods just for a dozen eggs. There was not I egg in the store. Instead there were giant signs saying "Sorry for the inconvenience. Eggs will be delivered tomorrow." A cashier told me that none of the Whole Foods had eggs. Seems like Amazon purchased the franchise just to ruin it. Delivery or die. — diannetalan on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

I was in Whole Foods on Tuesday - no eggs - tape crisscrossed across that section had an apology and a due date written on it. On Wednesday, almost no frozen 365 brand vegetables, a void that continued across multiple freezer cases. Absurd. — A on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

They apparently put much research into this vexed question. And they share a fondness for things Vitruvian... :-) "When it comes to wearing your shirt untucked, length matters. If the shirt is too long you'll do yourself any number of fashion disservices, the end result of which is that you'll almost undoubtedly look sloppy. Why? Well, for two reasons really. First, you kill the shape and style of the other half of your outfit, your pants. And second, because you change the visible proportions of your body...butchering the 'divine proportions' made famous by Da Vinci's Vitruvian man. So what is the optimal length? Well we here at UNTUCKit wanted to answer the same question. So we conducted an extensive survey among women ranging from their early 20s to mid 40s, showing them 10 pictures of a model wearing an untucked shirt falling at different lengths. Women showed an overwhelming preference for shirts that 'fell' in the middle of the zipper that exposed some of the pant pockets, which is what we've coined as the 'zone of acceptable length'." https://www.untuckit.com/pages/4-tips-on-wearing-your-shirt-untucked — James on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

How could you forget "The White Truffles"? :-) That was SO much worse! https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2014/09/25/the-white-truffles/ — James on Work Officially Starts on Northwest Tribeca Hotel

That woman is lucky the skater wasn't injured. She would be arrested for assault. What a miserable spoiled brat with her rat dog.... — Jobe on Seen & Heard: Skater Hater

I guess the UNTUCKit brand must be catching on if they're paying rent at Westfield. But I can't be the only one who thinks it's a weird fashion concept. I mean, wearing one's shirt untucked is perfectly legitimate, and there are shirts that lend themselves better to it than others. But why not just design such shirts and be done with it, instead of declaring it a kind of style credo that you flag for the world? Maybe I'm missing something. — David G.
