We should have copyrighted the name while we had the chance. — Marcus on A Piece of Tribeca® (Part 10)

Kaufman has indeed been responsible for a great many crappy hotels all over the city, BUT (and I am an eternal optimist), i would hope that the design for this particular project will be far better than what he usually produces, since it will hold 30 very high end full floor luxury Condominiums, and presumably, the building should look good enough to match the prices he hopes to get. Let's hope so. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Huge New Tower Across from City Hall Park

send me an email directly and we would like to invite you over again for another try of our food, on me. I am certain it must have been a off night. We are getting many many positive comments on our food there. — Michael Dorf on Tribeca’s Newest Music Venue

So disappointing homophobe Michelle Shocked will be at City Vineyard...maybe I'll have some energy left after the Million Women March and protest! On another note: I sadly cannot recommend City Vineyard. I had my birthday dinner there with my family and the food was just terrible. The service was tentative but nice and the host was chilly. I was so excited and think the space is just lovely. I spoke with a friend who had gone by there twice to find the venue closed when the website and sign outside listed it should be open. It wasn't cheap and from start to finish the food was just bad. The only tasty item was the oysters which well, isn't really all that reflective of the quality of the kitchen. Not sure if and when I'll be back. — TG on Tribeca’s Newest Music Venue

Potential silver lining: the availability of fiber internet? — Roberto on Warren Street Is Getting Torn Up Next

Sorry, that should have been under the Bag Snagger post. — EHS on A Piece of Tribeca® (Part 10)

Can we just thank the hero, Michele Maney, that quickly ended the drive. Also, we could start a geographic list to take care of these. I'm happy to do my block radius. — EHS on A Piece of Tribeca® (Part 10)

Yes, Winter has been tougher to cover our costs on the Pier. So, this series will go until the sun shines and people starting hanging outside, drinking wine, eating food, and enjoying the incredible views of Hudson River Park. We are lucky to have a great number of friends in our rolodex to call and put together a very special music series. In 15 hours, several of the shows sold out already which is very cool. Let's not call City Winery a venue, please call it a really cool restaurant that is a cozy and rare place to see some music if your lucky enough to get in for the special shows. Thanks. — Michael Dorf on Tribeca’s Newest Music Venue

38 years ago: Me: "I just moved to TriBeCa" Co-worker: "Where's that? Is that in Manhattan?" — Makes you go "hmmm..." on A Piece of Tribeca® (Part 10)

I kind of like the street fairs. It's better than obnoxious car traffic, horn honking, and fumes. And I can stock up on socks! — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Noisy, Smelly, Messy, Tacky

They should put street fairs in city parks where they truly do belong. Have never understand the logic behind them. — Rohin on Seen & Heard: Noisy, Smelly, Messy, Tacky

Once Warren gets torn up there will be no street fairs for a while. But that is no consolation. — Janet on Seen & Heard: Noisy, Smelly, Messy, Tacky

I do love those zeppoles, though — lowphat on Seen & Heard: Noisy, Smelly, Messy, Tacky

I never tire of these photo essays, and this one is particularly good. — Andrea on Close-Up: Chambers Street

Either way love the food — Adam on In the News: New Renderings of FiDi Tower

Re late night/overnight construction: It seems that the only hope we have is for the pols to step in and restrict the DOB and DOT. How do we get them to do something? It seems like a no-brainer, and yet they sit on their hands. Are they really all in the pockets of Real Estate? — KP on Seen & Heard: After-Hours Construction Lament

That's great - I love it when old buildings are preserved! — Emmie on Seen & Heard: After-Hours Construction Lament

If it makes you feel better, the restaurant also likes Meryl Streep: https://twitter.com/thalassanyc/status/818328185276403713 — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Stumped on Lispenard

Too bad. I liked thalassa and ate there semi-regularly - never again! — Joanna on Seen & Heard: Stumped on Lispenard

The subject of after-hours building permits is a recurrent one at the CB1 Quality of Life Committee meetings and seems to be very difficult to resolve. The QoL Committee held a Construction Forum and this issue (and sidewalk sheds) were the main topics. It seems that if the construction company makes a case, the permit is granted almost as of right with no input or consideration of local residents. They just wait for you to call 311 and complain (good luck with that). There is supposed to be somewhere on the DoB site where you can raise complaints about late working, noise and other issues but is is about as effective as 311. In all the discussions at these meetings i have listened to when the DoB and others have attended have left me with the strong impression that the real estate development industry completely dominates any local residents' quality of life. If they want it, they get it. if they don't get the permit, they often just go ahead anyway. — Bob on Seen & Heard: Old Tribeca Street Signs for Sale

i think erik is referring to the restaurant's legal fees not the plaintif's fees. — safe as milk on In the News: New Renderings of FiDi Tower

Legal fees here are probably on contingency, not to exceed one-third of the award or settlement fund. — James on In the News: New Renderings of FiDi Tower

In my experience, they don't keep that very well updated. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: New Building on White Street

Nope, you're right, the one i'm thinking of is yellow and black. I so wanted to guess this that I gave myself momentary amnesia! — berrybooo on Where in Tribeca…?
