Staff at Liquor store seem very demoralised ... — Michael Fishberg on In the News: The Future of J. Crew

I gotta believe that's the easiest/cheapest way to store that material before the next project. The municipal govt (dob whomever) ought to regulate but cant be bothered obviously. Its really a shame- local pols reading should take note...and not just when it affects them personally.... — Firsttimecaller on Seen & Heard: Inside the Soho Trader Joe’s

I heard its closing — Hotel on In the News: The Future of J. Crew

(I am all for certain aspects of "old TriBeCa"…including some of the old stores and businesses….but graffiti and decay are not what I would think of as TriBeCa in its historic prime either) — Marcus on Ode to Canal Street

Why "graffitied splendor"?? Would you characterize it that way if the "splendor" were repeatedly applied to your front door and window? — Marcus on Ode to Canal Street

Now can the same be done to M1-5? — Marcus on The Party Is Over at Remix

New signage on the Roxy looks great. Classic neon. And I am biased because I love the Roxy's 2 (two!) floors of live jazz. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Teen Arrested

The trucks are a hazard. They also destroy the sidewalks (and endanger pedestrians) through their shortcut parking method: driving up and over the sidewalk instead of parallel parking. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Holland Tunnel Traffic Study Is Mainly About Soho

The trucks are not the issue during rush hour. The Buses are more an issue during pm rush hour. The concern is the constant traffic of trucks using Laight st, last year a bicyllist was killed by a truck. These trucks are about 60,000 lbs, their braking time and distance is longer. They can cause serious injury to a pedestrian even going 20 mph. Not to mention damaging roads and if they jump a curve, sure destruction to anything in its way. That is why the city has designated truck routes. — GPS on Seen & Heard: Holland Tunnel Traffic Study Is Mainly About Soho

I love TC and respect your good work but when it gets political you should expect some blowback from the few conservative Tribecans who are out of the closet. — lowrider on What Cops Have to Say About the Teen Hooligans

I live across the street at 366 and look down on that trash covered gross sidewalk shed every day. Is there nothing the DOB can do about it once the C of O has been issued? — TheBlackSquirrel on Seen & Heard: Inside the Soho Trader Joe’s

The Liquor Store is supposedly the highest grossing store for J. Crew (according to the staff who work there). — D on In the News: The Future of J. Crew

I wonder if you could offer Erik some suggestions on things to cover that you feel would better represent the entire population of Tribeca? Topics, places or people to feature etc? I actually think he does a great job of featuring all kinds of people and all kinds of stories. It feels like your main concern is the lack of diversity and gentrification of Tribeca which can't be blamed on Erik :) Sara — Sara on A New Café on Reade

Best Friends is a great organization and I'm glad to see their expansion in NYC. However, there is already a nice animal shelter/adoption center nearby. Animal Haven has been in Soho for more than ten years and relocated to their new facility at the corner of Centre and Hester Streets last August. www.animalhavenshelter.org — Lulu on New Kid on the Block: Best Friends Pet Adoption Center

Thank you for sharing, Erik! Isn't it beautiful?? They're also always in need of volunteers (cat care, dog walkers--no minimum amount of hours per month), foster homes, and even auction items for their many events--so many ways to get involved. :) — Josey on New Kid on the Block: Best Friends Pet Adoption Center

I would think the Franklin Place residents would complain? — Bruce on Seen & Heard: Inside the Soho Trader Joe’s

At least one of the kids involved in these assaults was involved in the incident over a year ago. http://tribecatrib.com/content/teens-brutally-attacked-bpc-private-security-response-under-scrutiny. — TribecaMom on What Cops Have to Say About the Teen Hooligans

True, but it felt good. Every morning, earlier that I should, I read the comments that came in the night before. And being called racist pisses me off. — Erik Torkells on What Cops Have to Say About the Teen Hooligans

Calling someone stupid is not much of an argument. — lowrider on What Cops Have to Say About the Teen Hooligans

Agreed! Both my ER visits over the past 4 years, once for myself and once for my two year old daughter were light on bed side manner and amenities but fast and effective, just the way a hospital visit should be. I prefer it stays that way and continued to exist under the radar of the rest of lower manhattan. — en_b on In the News: Fragrant Chilean Pickpockets

At last! Some GOOD NEWS! Thank you for posting, Erik.... — jk on New Kid on the Block: Best Friends Pet Adoption Center

They don't look great but they have already upped their game in my opinion, and being the sister hospital to NY Presbyterian Weill means downtowners are in a really good system. My teenage son walked in on his own, got a diagnosis that was unexpected, was put in an ambulance pronto, and got successful surgery at the uptown hospital from a top surgeon within an hour or so. He was alone, and they took him seriously and right away. So I like them even though they look dumpy. — C. on In the News: Fragrant Chilean Pickpockets

I guess you could say they were stripped of their license. — James on The Party Is Over at Remix

I was very excited to switch from TWC to Fios a few years ago. Let me tell you it's hasn't been so great. In the last 3 years anytime a neighbor on the same floor got Fios the techs would knock our service out installing in the new apartment. We'd have to call, go through the motions of checking our equipment (we always knew it wasn't our equipment), set up an appointment for them to come out, take time off of work to be there (all the while being without phone, cable or internet). Then once it was back up and running they would leave the wires hanging out of the ceiling in the hallway. When the building would have a contractor put the molding back up - the contractor would somehow do something to the wires and knock out our service again. It became ridiculous. We had to fight them to rewire our apartment and treat it as a new installation. Those wires they use are so flimsy. WiFi service is also slow at times - they are constantly asking me to upgrade for faster service - For what I pay a month I should already be getting the fastest service available. Beginning to miss NY1! — JMc on Seen & Heard: Fios Frustration

Was admitted at new York Presbyterian lower Manhattan hospital last week and it felt like the step child of the Presbyterian system. It's nothing like its sister hospitals uptown. Just how it is run operationally. I think the marketing team is doing a good job but in order for it to cater to it's target population in fidi, Tribeca, and bpc it needs to step up it's game. Just my two cents. — TribecaMom on In the News: Fragrant Chilean Pickpockets
