  • That traffic pattern has never made any sense. If you don't make the illegal move right then and there then you have to go down to Worth Street (since you can't make a right legally until worth street). Oh actually, Worth Street is closed for construction right now, so you actually have to go 4 blocks to Thomas, then up hudson, right on beach, right on varick and then right on N. Moore. Plus that's quite possibly the least driven on street in Tribeca (and possibly lower manhattan). Never any cars there...too tempting. That being said, clearly that Jeep needs to be more careful and execute his move with a bit more stealth and precision. — Sam G on Wrong-Way Driver Nearly Hits Pedestrian

  • Very good Italian food. There is so much unimpressive even bad Italian food downtown, Acapella never disappoints. So glad it is staying downtown. — Jean Grillo on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years

  • Harley Davidson took over the POPs at 376 Broadway a year or so ago and it took a number of complaints to DoB, 311 and CB1 to finally have them stop using the POP as their private driveway. — TribecaMom on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • Yesterday I was driving in from Long Island and was behind a black Audi SUV with NYP plates - Architect 229, I believe it was, and it was going very slowly in the left lane. As I went around him to pass as everyone else was doing, I saw that he was texting as he drove around 50 mph in the left lane. I don't expect too much from law enforcement these days! — Elizabeth on Wrong-Way Driver Nearly Hits Pedestrian

  • Yesterday I saw one of the traffic officers watch a mercedes SUV drive around the temporary barricades onto the sidewalk at Washington and Watts. I questioned him as to why he didn't stop or ticket the driver. He told me that they don't write tickets. They just write down the license plate and notify authorities in NJ. He had no idea if any further action is taken. — Brett on Wrong-Way Driver Nearly Hits Pedestrian

  • The landlords are ruining our neighborhood. — Janet on More on Acappella’s Move

  • The Roxy has a mailing list of the available movies they show which you can get by writing them. — Toni Silber-Delerive on Seen & Heard: A Peek Inside the W. Broadway Brasserie

  • That is correct. It WAS previously accessible I remember it clearly. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • This breaks my heart. I can buy everything at Torly Kid all in one space and support the owner who is so committed to Tribeca and philanthropy in general. — Daniela on New Kid on the Block: Ever After

  • Streetsblog just posted an excellent update to the placard abuse saga: http://nyc.streetsblog.org/2017/04/19/if-nypd-is-cracking-down-on-license-plate-obscuring-officers-its-sure-hard-to-tell/ — Komanoff on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • To say nothing of the blatant disregard for the STOP sign at the corner of W Broadway and Beach. — Carol Tanenbaum on Wrong-Way Driver Nearly Hits Pedestrian

  • Why don't drivers who do tricks like this have their licenses revoked permanently? — Marcus on Wrong-Way Driver Nearly Hits Pedestrian

  • Channel 7 just did a story on POPS. 101 Barclay blamed closing on 9/11. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • Regarding 101 Barclay, this may be a false memory, but I think before 9/11 there was public access to the lobby, which had foliage and tables/chairs and allowed a midblock cut-through for pedestrians. The lobby was significantly reconfigured sometime since then in a way that makes it unsuitable for a POPS — NV on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • Been looking done since Feb ... PS - Is the Four Seasons trolling the neighborhood? The sculptures in that park look exactly like trees laden with plastic shopping bags. — jfrankp on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • Think it is time to get a list of the 180 POPS, with required amenity details, go visit - and call 311 with complaints, starting with BNY. This has been going on forever. Trusting DOB to police this is laughable, given the looooong history of building inspector corruption scandals. — A. on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • Not that I'm aware of. Stringer's report does list them, though: http://comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/audit-report-on-the-on-the-citys-oversight-over-privately-owned-public-spaces/ — Erik Torkells on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • Is there a map showing the location of all these public spaces? — JG on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • At the end of March, the Four Seasons said, “We are expecting it to be completed and open in the spring of 2017." https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2017/03/25/seen-heard-alpha-jets-trailing-patriotic-smoke/ — Erik Torkells on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • Re: plazas. Any update as to when the public plaza the Four Seasons built adjacent to the building will be open to the public? — Sus on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • The plaza east of 111 Murray is 10,600 square feet. (There's more info on it at https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2015/06/11/first-look-the-full-monty-on-111-murray/.) Somewhat ironically, the people most likely to use it are the workers across the street at 101 Barclay. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • Re: public space. Speaking of being taken by developers, did we learn the dimensions of the public plaza in the building rising on the old St. Johns plot? Lets do a sit in! Re: slow ticket sales for TFF. It's not inexpensive to go see these movies. Some of the movies are dated and of questionable quality. Also Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. There are so many other ways to see new or interesting movies.They need to adapt, as does every other film festival. Better to try and stay relevant, then fall off a cliff in a few years. — cami on In the News: Public Plaza Abuse

  • The other day I saw somebody attempting to avoid Holland Tunnell traffic on Hudson by taking a left on Laight, turning around and going reverse UP Greenwich (against traffic) for three blocks and then turning back towards Hudson on Watts. SMH — chavanel on Wrong-Way Driver Nearly Hits Pedestrian
