Rohin, I live on Greenwich St. between Desbrosses/Watts and it's a very residential, not industrial area. There are already a lot of drunk and loud people leaving Tribeca rooftop parties that urinate and vomit on the Street (Desbrosses), and cause quite a disturbance. The idea of an after-party space would surely wreak havoc on our quiet block. This is not an area for late night activity. — Jean Powers on Food Hall Plans Withdrawn

This is awesome and yeah, another reminder of why I love the Tribeca Citizen. — Will on Valentine No. 54

By the same token, it distracts from Barclay Tower.... — Erik Torkells on New Building Report Card: 30 Park Place

My only regret it that it towers over and pulls glory from the Woolworth Building, the most beautiful skyscraper in New York City and Cass Gilbert's crowning achievement. — Bruce Ehrmann on New Building Report Card: 30 Park Place

I've noticed that google maps takes you to vestry if you're coming from south if there. Maybe everyone is following that — Jammysod on Seen & Heard: Pure Green Juice and Bulletproof Coffee

I heard they are opening on Franklin street and church somewhere. I really hope they open soon the workout is the best. — Hotel on Seen & Heard: The Location of SLT’s Tribeca Studio?

I second this & have had the exact same thought! — Heidi on Seen & Heard: Hoping for an East Tribeca Dog Run

Don't forget newly opened Pokespot farther up on Centre, Simple on Eldridge, or Chikarashi on Canal and Lafayette. — Sam on The Great Poke Rush Continues

See this comment by James about food carts (and how landlords have no say over where they go): https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2017/04/29/seen-heard-four-seasons-food-cart/#comment-107157 — Erik Torkells on New Building Report Card: 30 Park Place

I agree with you design of the building and the relationship to the Woolworth build. Actually will walk over and work in the plaza today. Issue- why is Silverstein allowing the food cart east of 30 Park entrance? I am on Murray and Greenwich and fed up with the unsightly food arts which are parked over night lately. Curious??? Any way to remove the carts? I would for home and the food smells are entering my apt as I text. Live a solution to fight the food cart take over in South Tribeca. Thank you — EAS on New Building Report Card: 30 Park Place

I live across the street and my view overlooks the hotel entrance and plaza. It makes for a very nice presence and the plaza is particularly lovely at night as well as a significant advantage as a mid-block thoroughfare. I wonder about the the retail, though, especially in an era when retail is struggling all over, and hope they'll find quality tenants for the three relatively small spaces (which appear to have no venting for food). We could definitely use some additional retail/food on this block, but with no natural pedestrian traffic and the small size of the spaces what will succeed here? I agree that whoever winds up there will have a strong impact on the feeling of the plaza. My one issue with the plaza is that many of the chairs are bolted to the ground in odd configurations which challenge natural interaction. I understand why they'd bolt the chairs just not why these odd layouts were selected. — Madelyne on New Building Report Card: 30 Park Place

The best thing Stern did was pull his building as far away as he could from the Woolworth - giving it some room to breathe - and then toning everything down on his building so as not to even try to compete with the Woolworth's ornate facade even as the new structure echoes the Woolworth tower's form. I agree with your assessment - certainly, it could have been a lot worse. Bob Stern considers himself (he's said this in interviews) as much an architectural historian as an innovator (and he's the dean of Yale Architecture School so he knows his stuff.) He was the right person for the job. — Will on New Building Report Card: 30 Park Place

Does anyone know what happened last night along the esplanade and marina north of Chambers? Around midnight I saw a lot of police, 2 police boats and a helicopter searching the water. Thanks! — Mary on Seen & Heard: Inside the Woolworth Residences

I believe all the river crossings to NJ (e.g., Holland and Lincoln Tunnels and the GW Bridge) are free outbound. Is there some other traffic pattern that people use to avoid tolls that take them through the Holland Tunnel? No dog in this fight -- I live way down nearly in FiDi -- just curious. — Wendy on Food Hall Plans Withdrawn

Yes, a bargain only for the production company. — PeterD on Seen & Heard: Inside the Woolworth Residences

Those permits are a bargain compared to renting and dressing a soundstage for a day, with far more realism shooting on the street. — James on Seen & Heard: Inside the Woolworth Residences

I've noticed the increased traffic on Vestry as well and often many more cars turning onto Vestry from West Street. While I haven't seen it with my own eyes, a neighbor mentioned that the turn off Hubert onto Hudson is being blocked by cones. If this is true, it's certainly not helping matters on Vestry. — Kennedy on Seen & Heard: Pure Green Juice and Bulletproof Coffee

To disrupt a neighborhood for a shoot of any length used to be free, but now only costs the production $300. In 1966 NYC established a film office and began issuing permits for shoots. From that year until 2010 the permits were free. Bloomberg instituted a fee of $300 that year and that has been the cost of a film permit since. The $300 is a one-time fee for every movie, commercial or music video shoot, no matter how many days the production is working in the city, and once a season for television projects. New York requires a permit for any shoot that uses vehicles or equipment other than hand-held devices and cameras on tripods - items such as props, sets, lights, dolly tracks, screens and microphone devices. Sometimes the city will waive the $300 fee depending on the budget of the project. In some situations, a permit also is needed if a production wants exclusive use of city property. That one-time fee is $3200. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/mome/permits/when-permit-required.page — PeterD on Seen & Heard: Inside the Woolworth Residences

Holland tunnel is always a disaster- still can't wrap my head around how even now with Ezpass there is still no outbound toll. The best way to cut traffic on Canal street would be to split the toll so it is assessed both inbound and outbound. I would bet that at least 30%+ of the Holland traffic queued up on Canal is there because it's FREE outbound. Charge a toll and people would not go out of their way to "save" — Rohin on Food Hall Plans Withdrawn

As a person who works in media and broadcasting, i can say, with certainty, that those filming permits do in fact add to the city's economy. They are not cheap. They do not come for free. If, at any given day in Manhattan alone, there have been 20 filming permits allotted for shoots from the top to the bottom of the island, you can be sure that the city has pocketed a lot of money. And we are just talking Manhattan. And we are just talking one day. — Sal on Seen & Heard: Inside the Woolworth Residences

And the millions upon millions of dollars allegedly added to our local economy. — PeterD on Seen & Heard: Inside the Woolworth Residences

Don't forget all the jobs that the industry likes to claim it's adding. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Inside the Woolworth Residences

I understand from a friend this morning that it is a catalog film production for some fashion brand called White House, but who knows if that is true. It would seem to account for the anonymity, since that kind of project would seem to have nothing to do with media or entertainment such as TV or movies indirectly promoting New Yorkthat is the usual justification for inflicting these nuisances on city residents and businesses. — James on Seen & Heard: Inside the Woolworth Residences

I live a block away and most of the residential concern comes from noise and traffic. Honestly, its mostly tunnel related, as people trying to leave this event space would be hunting for cabs that inevitably get stuck in the tunnel traffic. — Sean on Food Hall Plans Withdrawn
