You should be investigated for your hyper-hyperbole. — Jim Smithers on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

Nope! — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Washington Market near the fieldhouse? — Claudine on Where in Tribeca…?

Perhaps DOT is considering the building owner to be the applicant in order to conform the proposal to the Agency's own published guidelines. See http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/street-seats-design-guidelines-2015-11-10.pdf "NYC DOT Street Seats Design Guidelines The following guidelines are to be used in the design of Street Seat platform structures: [...] • The maximum length of the platform may not be longer than the frontage of the applicant's business" (as referenced at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pedestrians/streetseats.shtml) — James on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

Afraid not! — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Collect Pond Park? — James on Where in Tribeca…?

Could be, though they might mention that. (I'm a one-museum-a-day kind of guy.) — Erik Torkells on Field Trip: The Met Breuer

Not that I ever pay the full $25, but doesn't it also give you free same day admission to the orriginal MET and the Cloisters? — Robert Ripps on Field Trip: The Met Breuer

Nope! Although there is (or used to be) a birdhouse there, and I think I ran a "Where in Tribeca...?" on it a long time ago. — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Bogardus Garden? — Andrea on Where in Tribeca…?

Tried Tipsy Shanghai about a month ago. We got it to go as we just live around the corner. It was nothing to write home about. The soup dumplings weren't that great. — Courtney on Seen & Heard: Chinese Food Recommendations

I was about to post "congrats" as well. FALSE ALARM. :-) — KP on Seen & Heard: Chinese Food Recommendations

Your babysitter line killed me. I thought maybe you meant dogsitter. — Dan Kohn on Seen & Heard: Chinese Food Recommendations

Never mind. Just finished reading the pst — Josh on Seen & Heard: Chinese Food Recommendations

Babysitter? Did I miss an announcement? — Josh on Seen & Heard: Chinese Food Recommendations

We call it hyperlocal blogging. The neighborhood is small, but the blog is HUGE. — Erik Torkells on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

Meh. I think it's time to up TC's game and/or its stakes. With great micro-blogging comes greater responsibility. Trolls need different challenges to sustain themselves. Make Tribeca Great Again. — Jim Smithers on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

Me too!! Read it everyday. — sal on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

Thanks! But I'm still deleting your emoji when I get home — Erik Torkells on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

Thank you so much for all the useful information. I depend on the Tribeca Citizen to keep me informed. — Janet on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

I attended a press preview at MB45 today. They told me they will be in soft open for the weekend and will officially open next week. — Rowena on In the News: Mike Myers Is Moving Here—Not!

I wonder what that will do to 270 Broadway? Will it cover all those windows, especially that penthouses double floor window? — Nicole on Huge New Tower Across from City Hall Park

Just to clarify: I didn't mean for it to sound like Laughing Man is trying to pull one over on the DOT (which had a rep at the meeting to support the expansion). — Erik Torkells on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

I suppose the one upside to the Warren Street construction is that there won't be any street fairs on that block for 2.5+ years. As to Con Ed, Verizon, et al performing non-emergency late night construction: WHY? Why is DOT awarding them permits for this? — KP on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)

Re: "I did wonder whether the DOT intended for a tiny café, with a tiny façade—maybe 10 feet?—to colonize an area so much wider than itself." They likely did not. See as an analogy, for example Zoning Resolution 42-532 regarding signage and the width of a zoning lot. In all districts, as indicated, non-#illuminated signs# with total #surface areas# not exceeding six times the #street# frontage of the #zoning lot#, in feet, but in no event more than 1,200 square feet for each #sign#, are permitted. And 42-53 - For the purpose of determining permitted #surface area# of #signs# for #zoning lots# occupied by more than one establishment, any portion of such #zoning lot# occupied by a #building# or part of a #building# accommodating one or more establishments on the ground floor may be considered as a separate #zoning lot#. See similarly ZR 32-64 etc. — James on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (January 2017)
