  • What is shown as a bump out into the sidewalk is likely not accurate, but rather an overemphasis to distinguish (from the property boundary lines) the narrow, 6-inch connection between the two lots that makes this legally one parcel and not two. — James on Seen & Heard: Nobu’s Final Night in Tribeca

  • Buona fortuna Rocco, thanks for the memories. See you in Louisville! — Peter on Roc Has Closed

  • A huge loss for the neighborhood. We will very much miss ROC, Rocco and Stacy. Best of luck to them. — Andrea on Roc Has Closed

  • Looks lovely, but nothing much for vegans (or even vegetarians), and the prices are obscene. I had high hopes for some good reasonably priced Mediterranean food with some non-carnivore options, but no luck here. I'll stick with Chinatown and home cooking. — Marcus on New Kid on the Block: Antique Garage Tribeca

  • Partial stop work order was stuck to the fence of 100 Franklin, halting the excavation but allowing completion of the fence. From the complaints and the jobs record listed online, it seems they were digging in the lot without permits. — James on Seen & Heard: Antique Garage Opens Tonight

  • There will be a public CB2 meeting this month with DOT regarding Holland Tunnel traffic issues. The DOT is commissioning a study that will look at all the issues in the area around the Tunnel entrance. I'll post here as the date firms up. — Sam on Seen & Heard: Depressing Explanation for Hudson Street Traffic

  • Great decor, but a few critiques. 1) The operational costs are going to be astronomical. 2) Not sure if price points were studied to the comps in the neighborhood. a $20 lamb burger? I can get a $12 one down the street in Fidi and $17 Bison at Church Publik. This could be a cash burner for Utku, but Im rooting for you! — James Fairchild on New Kid on the Block: Antique Garage Tribeca

  • Looks funky casual. Prices are White Table Cloth. Looks Serendipity to me — PerryR on New Kid on the Block: Antique Garage Tribeca

  • Beautiful space, but unfortunately this place will never make it. People are too price sensitive to spend $20 on lunch (not to mention $25 on meatballs) and $20 on apps. Theyll never get enough repeat business to survive. — Thomas on New Kid on the Block: Antique Garage Tribeca

  • From the Post: "The mystery seller bought the building for $13.3 million from architect Winka Dubbledam in 2014, according to city records." This reminded me of this item on this site: https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2016/05/21/seen-heard-new-spa-rumored/ — James on In the News: Unbuilt Maya Lin Mansion on the Market

  • I surely wish fitness brands that are distinctly not Pilates would stop saying they are. There is no real Pilates in any Barre method. I think Barre workouts are great if you love them but if you want to do Pilates - do actual Pilates. The constant messaging by dozens of workouts claiming to incorporate Pilates is misleading and innappropriate. If you want Barre results go to Barre class. If you want to look like a dancer go to dance class. If you want to do resistance training with springs, go to Pilates. — Alycea Ungaro on The Barre Boom Continues

  • Regarding traffic, this afternoon as I was walking up Hudson street around 3:45 I noticed that the tunnel traffic was backed up to N. Moore street, but when I got to the Canal Street corner there was almost no backup coming east to the tunnel from the highway. It wasn't that they had closed that approach, but as I watched for several light cycles it was clear that the 2 traffic officers there were creating the problem by over- favoring the Canal approach (which they often do) to an unusual degree. During the time I watched, the block of Canal from Hudson to Greenwich never was completely filled with waiting cars. A third traffic officer walked by so I stopped him and mentioned that Hudson St. was backed up for blocks. He told me that their orders from the higher ups were to keep Canal moving no matter what happened on Hudson and that if I wanted to complain I should call 311. — NV on Seen & Heard: Pushing for Car-Free Streets in FiDi

  • I walked away unimpressed last night. Imagine the men's floor at the Bloomingdales in Soho, take what they display and smush it into 2/3 the floor space. The worst part though was the really "green" staff. I asked what Chelsea boots they had, to which 2 people said they had never heard of that "brand" and one asked me to help him identify a Chelsea boot from other types. Will it get better? Probably, but rookie mistakes for such a high-end focused store make it a long road ahead. — AJ on New Kid on the Block: Saks Fifth Avenue Men’s Store

  • High-end – Canada Goose. I spit my cocktail out across the desk with that one! Good one! — mruptight on New Kid on the Block: Saks Fifth Avenue Men’s Store

  • I would love more car-free streets ... in TriBeCa as well. Especially problematic is the tunnel through-traffic, a chaos of road-rage, red-light running, and danger to pedestrians, worse at certain hours. Many grand cities of the world have pulled this off, including London. Why not NYC? — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Pushing for Car-Free Streets in FiDi

  • The delivery people actually have a job they are trying to do and yes we tax payers get stuck with the bill for all the ticketing agents writing tickets to commercial vehicles. Whatever strides we made with bike lanes and CitiBike we have been challenged by Uber, etc. who pick up a lone person with enough space to drive a small team to where they are going. — TG on Open Letter: Here’s Your Traffic Study
