Excellent article. Good job by the 5th Precinct. Hopefully someone who knows how to use Twitter will tweet this to @NYPD1Pct. — James on In the News: Police Unions Sell Parking Placards

Perhaps 2 WTC should not be built at all, they have not even filled the other WTC buildings with tenants yet or perhaps ever. Leave a little room for some natural light from the East and North. Certainly no more retail space is needed as we can see with the Westfield/Brookfield vacant or soon to be vacant stores. — JPL on Is 3 World Trade Center a Dud?

I love 3 WTC too. I think it's a nice complement to 4. I stare at the east side from my apt. — John on Is 3 World Trade Center a Dud?

I completely disagree. 3 World Trade Center is quite a handsome tower. Yes it is too close to 4 WTC but that doesn't take away from the fact that this tower does in fact fit in with the rest of the complex. If any tower isn't going to fit in it will be the disastrous future 2 WTC. Luckily we still have a chance for the original design to go up on that one. — Anthony on Is 3 World Trade Center a Dud?

Just thought it was interesting. And it's arguably more of a Latin word that's now being redefined in a Greek context. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Six Restaurant Updates

Regarding your comment, "According to Wiktionary, fetabar is (also) the first-person singular imperfect passive indicative of the Latin word feto, which means “bring forth, breed” in the passive usage." I don't know what your point is. Or what the relevance is. Or why you are assigning a Latin translation to a clearly Greek word. — Bill T on Seen & Heard: Six Restaurant Updates

Great. I have been looking for a long term Parking spot. — PerryR on Nosy Neighbor: What Are Cars Doing on the Esplanade?

Dear Grumpy, You are NOT the only one who is totally fed up with the continuous construction, obstruction and destruction which is the going on in this neighborhood. The various committees of the Community Board, especially the Quality of Life Committee spend much of their time and effort discussing this and even arranged a public forum on the subject in the fall of last year. I would admit that this didn't make much difference as the rules are heavily slanted in favor of the real estate developers who get a free ride to obstruct streets, work outside civilized hours and generally do what they like, with or without permits. The Committee has tried to address vermin at these sites, sidewalk sheds which stay up for centuries and many other annoyances but, sadly to little effect in the way of improving things for residents.. — Bob on Seen & Heard: Avocado Store

My son belongs to the Khe-Yo restaurant "family" and was just telling me about receiving a blessing from chef Soulayphet's mom. He reports that it was truly heartwarming and one of the most genuine experiences he has had since moving to NY. — Andrea on Seen & Heard: Avocado Store

Should be a real circus when they move the state troopers into the State Insurance Fund Building. Between the Fire House, deliveries and on-going construction. — TribecaMom on In the News: Police Unions Sell Parking Placards

Hi Erik, My colleague Sonia Stock and I are constantly walking around Tribeca when showing our clients apartments and we recently saw this sign on Collister Street between Hubert Street & Beach Street. Is this it? Joseph Altman — Joseph Altman on Where in Tribeca…?

Sad! that people think the TriFamFest is the best thing since sliced sashimi. What do you do with the other 364 days of your calendar life? Or is this just Tribeca Film Festival hacker bots from Russia? There are always movies available at Regal or iTunes/Netflix. Get over yourselfishness. — Jim Smithers on The Tribeca Film Festival Is Not Throwing Its Street Fair

Sad! Best kids event in the city, and one of a handful of times I would bother going to Tribeca. Offering movies after 6pm for kids as a replacement is basically removing kids under 10 from the area. Certainly short sighted Tribeca!! — Noah Davis on The Tribeca Film Festival Is Not Throwing Its Street Fair

My understanding is those all belong law enforcement in the counter-terrorism units stationed in Brookfield. They have cards in their windshields. — Ellen on Nosy Neighbor: What Are Cars Doing on the Esplanade?

The pho at Khe-Yo is the best in Manhattan, and perhaps beyond. Only served at lunch. Besides a decent burrito, thats the one nut New York has a seriously hard time cracking. — en_b on Seen & Heard: Avocado Store

The Chinese name of the avocado market translates to avocado farm. I believe the store is a wholesale distributor for avocados and possibly other produce. Just my 2 cents. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Avocado Store

That's odd. You could try asking the Trib why they removed it. And/or call the 1st Precinct at 212-334-0611 and asking for the community liaison. Or visit the next Community Council meeting on Thursday, April 27, at 6:30 p.m. at the precinct house. I don't have a relationship with the precinct; I'd have to have NYPD press credentials to get anyone to deal with me, and the hurdles (http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/press_relations/credentials.shtml#eligibility) are too onerous for me to bother. Plus, we don't have much crime around here.... — Erik Torkells on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City

That is the real parking abuse in that area. There is zero enforcement by the traffic agents and police department of the no standing zone all along that side of the street. There was one car which I noticed that had not been moved for several weeks. It was easy to spot because the car was surrounded by snow from the latest snowstorm and not moved until well after the snow surrounding the car effectively melted. Never ticketed or towed. — Kacee on Nosy Neighbor: What Are Cars Doing on the Esplanade?

Did the 4/3 arrest actually happen? TribecaTrib seems to have removed the update from their website. It would be nice to know any progress on this front. — Rob on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City
