  • Canal Rubber occupies the same building as the corner space being marketed, it's the same block & lot. Secondly, Canal Rubber does not own the building - it was sold for $24M on Dec, 2015. The writing is on the wall, the developer is going to redevelop the building soon and Canal Rubber's stay is short lived. — LRG on Seen & Heard: The News Literacy Project

  • The rent for a selling basement is only 25-33% of the rent for a ground level store. The top floor is little more than an entryway to get you to the basement, like the Barnes and Noble and BB&B above Whole Foods setup, but underground. — James on In the News: Target’s Tribeca Store to Test Delivery

  • Are there w hubby and newborn baby a couple of weeks ago. We had the signature pizza (forgot the name but it was the one w lightly friend dough) and it was delicious. We really enjoyed our meal and liked that it's not overpriced. Hubby had to change baby diaper but there were no changing stations in the bathrooms, the manager apologized and said they will have them installed in the future. We really appreciate their willingness to do that. Anyway, we wish the establishment much success. We walked by the private event room and the mom in me was even thinking of hosting kiddo's birthday party there. — TribecaMom on First Impressions: Kesté

  • Doubtful...my ex and I rented the second floor for years and I know the building inside and out...no retail space on Greene. — elisa on Seen & Heard: The News Literacy Project

  • I suppose there could be more retail on Greene... — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: The News Literacy Project

  • Oh and by the way, the owners of Canal Rubber have owned that building for decades, so you need not be concerned for them! — elisa on Seen & Heard: The News Literacy Project

  • That's not just a souvenir shop, that's "Hot Rod" that carries thousands of important everyday items and has been one of my go-to places for 23 years. Eric, if you haven't been inside, you should check it out. It's the door just west of Canal Rubber. I'd be shocked if they're leaving. — elisa on Seen & Heard: The News Literacy Project

  • 90% of Target is underground - it's weird, the top floor is just some clothes and a yogurt shop...but downstairs it's a whole different world of its own. — Will on In the News: Target’s Tribeca Store to Test Delivery

  • The intention of the "service included" restaurant system is to achieve fairer distribution of compensation for all staff which, in part, allows the business to hire and retain qualified and committed people both front and back of house. If it works as intended, the business will be healthier, the food better and the service excellent. It's an industry experiment which I hope succeeds. — Andrea on Eight New Enthusiasms

  • You should visit the corner of West and Chambers today where a traffic agent is stationed to move traffic through red lights and shortening the time for pedestrians to cross the street. Perfect location fo this where 3 of the 4 corners are schools. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: The Great Tribeca Scavenger Hunt

  • I think that is part of the design. Hard to say with this image. It is a weird choice. https://igcdn-photos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xtp1/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/12142229_753972668065056_262286963_n.jpg — mruptight on Seen & Heard: Five Boro Bike Tour Is This Sunday Morning

  • Cheap? What were they asking in rent? — LRG on First Impressions: Kesté

  • The low rent will likely help them survive. — Manhattanmommie on First Impressions: Kesté

  • Kesté can also deliver to parts of Tribeca from their Bleeker Street location. — Adam on First Impressions: Kesté

  • Would be GREAT for the neighborhood to activate that location. All for this. — abc on A Restaurant in ChiBeCa

  • Really? Some of us appreciate the 'hidden treasure'. And don't underestimate the strong, committee, (hungry) community in Southbridge Towers! — neighbor on First Impressions: Kesté

  • Great shop, great quality work. I lived in the neighborhood and had several jobs done there over the years, Debra's work was always outstanding. — Sean Silverman on Spotlight: Tribeca Upholstery & Draperies

  • Why is it so difficult for the Cosmopolitan to get a liquor license? I seem to recall the board ran the Duane Street Hotel around too and it is a quiet comfortable space for visitors. — TG on Getting Tribeca Included in the Holland Tunnel Traffic Study

  • oh, by "pics" I guess I meant "picks"...oops. — Will on Eight New Enthusiasms

  • great pics - thanks! It's like looking at my neighborhood again with fresh eyes...and I think we share some fondnesses (first of all, for pretzels.) — Will on Eight New Enthusiasms

  • Great article Erik. So lucky to have Tribeca Citizen :) — Nichole on Eight New Enthusiasms

  • Tribeca Hair Studio is moving into the former Tasti Dlite spot — Gen on Seen & Heard: Nickel & Diner

  • That location is a dump. They'll prob kill it in delivery though. — John on First Impressions: Kesté

  • The prices are higher, so that they include a tip (and the folks in the kitchen make more as a result). I'm actually a pretty generous tipper, but, no, I'm not fond of the process. — Erik Torkells on Eight New Enthusiasms

  • So you're a cheapass that doesn't like to tip? You deserve the poor service — Karina on Eight New Enthusiasms
