This is in anticipation of a lot of pedestrian tourists on the bridge. — Tribeca Citizen on Mayor will revive plan for Brooklyn Bridge bike path

The City's budget is in dire straits - impacts on NYC public schools, parks and playgrounds in low-income areas and many other impacts... Not understanding how bike lanes ASAP are a priority? Moreover, tourists here for the World Cup should be walking and taking the bus and subway - not bicycling in an unfamiliar place (nor using Uber) — Lia on Mayor will revive plan for Brooklyn Bridge bike path

Um, yeah... — Robert Ripps on A TC Style Change: Officially North Moore

I remember the Vietnamese restaurant on the Sixth Ave side- inexpensive, delicious, and they had a fish tank that was made to look like a suspension bridge as I recall... — Robert Ripps on Tribeca Pharmacy building plans are filed

I resided with my wife at 84 West Broadway for 42 years. My daughter resided with us till she went off to college. I loved my "loft" and enjoyed my neighbors. I moved into the fifth floor, 5N, and across the way was an artist who stretched canvas for Larry Rivers and did some painting and sculpture of his own under an open skylight. Below him was a guy who sold linoleum, and when he moved his business out, Buster Rhymes moved in for several years. Other artists and an architect lived in the building. We were a community. Those who lived on the top floors shared a freight elevator that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't, and so neighbors helped my wife and me up with packages when the elevator was out. On street level were two and sometimes three stores. Very early their was an elderly tailor who you could leave your keys with or a basket on wheels for the laundry for the laundry mat and used to shop in Chinatown because there was only Morgans for one's groceries. That tailor was replaced by a liquor store and finally a store that sold eyeglasses. Closer to Warren St was a series of coffee shops and a "kitchenette" that later moved to Chambers St. The building was run and owned by Mr. Jaffe, who was elderly and kind and kept the rents low. Today, my wife and I live next door and suffered as our wonderful building was knocked down. Soon , construction is scheduled to build another building next to us and on top of us. I don't look forward to it. — Larry Loonin on Erasing the 19th Century brick by brick

Wonderful history of Staple Street, which supplants the theory I had heard, that the Mercantile Exchange Building in the 19th century used the alley to offload commodities or staples from the ships docked at the Hudson River piers. — Jane Freeman on Nosy Neighbor: What is going on at Staple and Harrison?

There was also a great Vietnamese restaurant in that building as well. — JWM_NYC on Tribeca Pharmacy building plans are filed

It was called Magoo’s! — Jean on Tribeca Pharmacy building plans are filed

Way back before the pharmacy, it was an art bar…there were Paintings by everyone on the walls ( traded for tabs). It was rumored that the upstairs was a brothel. Someone out there must remember the name of the bar….great pit stop on the way from Spring St. Bar to Barnabus Rex. — Jean on Tribeca Pharmacy building plans are filed

Henry Lehr has been around for a long time (since the 70s I think). Christina is Henry's daughter. — DaniB on Jack’s Stir Brew on Reade will close next month

I lived in this building with my wife for 42 years. I resided in 5N, and my daughter was born here. I loved living in this spacious factory that made gloves and hats. On other floors, there was a store that sold linoleum. Buster Rhymes rented a space for a couple of years, and in another space adjacent to mine, an artist stretched his canvas and sometimes painted under a skylight. I felt as if we were in a community building. We knew each other and risked our lives in the same freight elevator. On street level, there were different restaurants, a generous tailor, followed by a store selling eyewear, oh, and I don't want to forget the liquor store in the very early days. I recall our original owner, Mr. Jaffe, who charged us very little rent and seemed to be happy about us living in one of his buildings and treating it like it belonged to all of us. — Larry on What will be lost with the demolition of 80 West Broadway

Is the 911 Museum a non-profit? If not it is a scandal. — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: Courtroom drama on Centre

Surely not a great building architecturally but also surely invaluable as a 'contextual' one. All of Tribeca should have been landmarked, as the Village was, and as Hal Bromm tried so hard to have done. More glassy 'luxury lofts', what a shame. — George Bacon on Erasing the 19th Century brick by brick

Isn't it ironic, or rather galling and insulting, that they are celebrating the Flag relating to both 9/11 and the 250th Anniversary of the USA, but for all these years they see fit to fly a minimalist Fkag over the utility room at the Memorial? There have been complaints about its underrepresentation, but they refuse to fly a BIG, BOLD, RESPECTFUL FLAG that both the country deserves, and the victims of 9/11 do. The over paid "leadership" of the Memorial should all be removed. — John on Seen & Heard: Courtroom drama on Centre

This is such a sad loss for the neighborhood! TLM was the most wonderful community with the most incredible instructors. They both physically and emotionally got me through my pregnancy and I am so bummed that they're gone! There's nothing else around here like it! — J on The Lotus Method has closed its Tribeca location

Is any of this being recycled/reused? I’ve peaked in and seen the size of those old floor beams. Makes my furniture making friends go starry-eyed dreaming of creative uses. — Mark on Erasing the 19th Century brick by brick

I share the deep sadness at seeing this building and others like it leave the neighborhood, but to be clear, the hotel that "wants an extra floor or two on the roof" DID destabilize the building next to it… and from what I saw in the CB meeting, still hasn’t made them whole on the damages. So yes, it IS a "big effing deal" — M on Erasing the 19th Century brick by brick

We've seen this before. They tear down a gorgeous old beauty from the 19th century. They leave a hole in the ground. That hole in the ground destabilizes neighboring structures. Someone sues. That hole in the ground becomes the new normal for a decade or two while they sue each other. Nothing happens. Meanwhile, the hotel that wants an extra floor or two on the roof (big effing deal...) so they can stay in business - no way. Then they tear down another 19th century beauty...and leave another hole in the ground. Somehow, this is supposed to make sense. — Will on Erasing the 19th Century brick by brick

Restoring and repairing 80 Warren to its pre-hotel status is a minimum. But what no one is mentioning is the impact these additional floors will have on our neighborhood. Adding meeting space, screening rooms and gym amenities to this hotel will inevitably equal additional F&B and laundry deliveries to an already disruptive scene. Not to mention the additional trash generated too. As it is truck deliveries to the Warren Street Hotel are non stop and at all hours of the am&pm, 7 days a week. Additionally, the increased Uber and car service traffic and double-parking will further compound the congestion to our neighborhood. The developer’s lack of due diligence and the Hotel’s financial viability should not fall on shoulders of this community nor should they be rewarded with a variance. — Fritz on Warren Street Hotel plans for expansion rejected by CB1
