  • His construction after hours is driving me crazy!!! Ever since I asked about this construction back in May — Sandra on Seen & Heard: Goodbye, Old Buildings

  • I believe the City/State still has the right to demolish with explosives... not applicable here of course as private — Rohin on Seen & Heard: Goodbye, Old Buildings

  • What's the appeal of the lots? I consider them eyesores and a prioritization of cars over people. When I see the sign "Park" for a moment I foolishly think of an actual green space with benches and beautiful plants and places to walk and even some fresh air, but that idyll is sadly shattered when instead I find a dirty graffiti-covered trash-strewn asphalt lot for polluting noisy vehicles. — Marcus on Valentine No. 54

  • The restaurant from Japan didn't work out for the former Nobu space. A friend has an office in the bldg. They negotiated for 9 months before the deal fell through- so now the bldg is jacking up the monthlies for everyone in the building because they didn't expect the vacancy. He added the leading contender for the main Nobu space is an all women's boxing gym, which just seems sad. — Becky on Seen & Heard: Japanese Steakhouse Opening Here?

  • They mechanically dismantle the buildings. Implosions and wrecking-balls are forbidden in NYC. — James on Seen & Heard: Goodbye, Old Buildings

  • This stuff is not only in the streets, but in the river directly adjacent from 70 Vestry. It has been floating down every day as they finish the edges of insulation. Entirely irresponsible and such a mess. Pretty sure birds aren't happy about it either. — Derin on Nosy Neighbor: What’s the White Stuff All Over Northwest Tribeca?

  • How and when are they going to demolish those buildings? Do they use a wrecking ball? Hopefully not explosives! — KP on Seen & Heard: Goodbye, Old Buildings

  • I still miss Saleya restaurant in the building that's a goner — Bruce on Seen & Heard: Goodbye, Old Buildings

  • I do not think this is correct. As I recall, the reservoir and the well and other property of the Manhattan Company was located at the on the site of the Surrogate's Court at 31-33 Chambers Street and directly north of that on the other side of Reade Street. — James on In the News: Inside Grand Old 49 Chambers

  • Nope... — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

  • Northeast corner of Watts and Washington St? — Beautiful on Where in Tribeca…?

  • That thingamabob is probably the cooling tower, and those louvers probably close. Just in case of another terror attack, the louvers can close and prevent any toxic dust etc. from entering the AC system and recirculate throughout the building. Just a guess. — Maryann Keegan on Seen & Heard: Goodbye, Old Buildings

  • My writing about the carts wouldn't change a thing. (And I agree there are too many.) You have to contact CB1 and our city councilmember, Margaret Chin. — Erik Torkells on New Building Report Card: 30 Park Place

  • Please write about the filthy food carts that are plaguing Tribeca including the one parked outside of 30 park — DY on New Building Report Card: 30 Park Place

  • Just saw a 1st Precinct SUV marked "supervisor" (and the number 3799) make this illegal right turn with lights flashing, as if that made it okay. Do as I say, not as I do. — James on Seen & Heard: The 1st Precinct’s Dangerous Shortcut

  • Poke, childrens' stores and steakhouses - this neighborhood is becoming inundated. BTW, a foodie friend tells me that the best steakhouse in Japan is likely to open a place in the neighborhood soon. Perhaps in old Dylan Prime or Nobu spaces?? I like all of the poke selections because it is very healthy. — Joe on The Great Poke Rush Continues
