  • They're actually different companies: Greystone is doing 108 Chambers and Cape Advisors is doing 30 Warren. And I addressed the two-story axonometric drawing in the text. — Erik Torkells on Tribeca Is Getting Another Starbucks

  • Couple interesting things... 1. the notices on the construction site only show a two story structure replacing the old coffee shop. 2. the renderings show the building across the street pre-demolition, even though the same company is doing both properties — chris on Tribeca Is Getting Another Starbucks

  • You're probably right. But either of the current Starbucks locations could be facing a steep rent increase: 50 Murray has a new owner, and the Cosmopolitan Hotel is undergoing a retail upgrade. — Erik Torkells on Tribeca Is Getting Another Starbucks

  • I agree with you that it is Starbucks overkill around here but the two locations you mentioned (Church/Murray & W Broadway/Chambers) are total madhouses during rush hour every weekday morning and usually at least halfway full when I pass during off-peak hours - it pains me to say it but I think all three would do fine. — S on Tribeca Is Getting Another Starbucks

  • Very nice subway entrance design. I hope it ages well with weather. Although I would prefer the Budapest style station entrances (such as the Astor Place entrance): http://gvshp.org/blog/2012/10/04/historic-station-sequel/ — Marcus on Seen & Heard: iPic Tickets on Sale

  • Tweed houses a pre-k center, so it still functions as a school for all practical purposes — Trib gal on Seen & Heard: Target’s Pop-Up Schedule

  • The new studio is a joke! not that the previous one is soho is anything better but it still better than basement!!!! (the one in soho is so poorly made!! many ppls slip and fall in there!!!) the studio is in the basement and very low ceiling- no window.so claustrophobic!!! the smell of paint mixed with heat and humidity is driving me crazy. the stairs are narrow and long to go through the workout area which is in 2nd basement floor and it was not done yet. the guy still finishing up the job.put 15 sweaty girls in there and that just felt like hell on earth. of course it was not shown in the slide. — oldme on In the News: Inside Tracy Anderson’s New Studio

  • Tweed Courthouse - named after a corrupt politician and convicted criminal. Classy. When do they break ground on the A. Weiner school? — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Target’s Pop-Up Schedule

  • Tweed courthouse houses DOE headquarters and there are 3 classrooms (18kids each) there for Prek center at 52 Chambers. There are prek students going to school there. I know for a fact because my son was going to go there for Prek this fall til we got off the waitlist for our 1st choice school. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Target’s Pop-Up Schedule

  • Tweed Courthouse does house a school. It is the Universal Pre-K center. — EJ on Seen & Heard: Target’s Pop-Up Schedule

  • Based on those parameters, we shouldn't have to endure the annual 5 Boros Bike Tour each year with amplified sound starting at 6 am on a Sunday. Yet, they always say they have a permit so I'm guessing that means waivers exist. — s on Seen & Heard: Target’s Pop-Up Schedule

  • I would imagine that it would hold the incubator school for the new school to come at 77 Greenwich. It has served that purpose for both the Spruce Street and Peck Slip Schools. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: Target’s Pop-Up Schedule

  • The Tweed Courthouse does not currently house a school. It did serve as a temporary home for the Peck Slip school. — Andrea on Seen & Heard: Target’s Pop-Up Schedule

  • Thanks for the link. (Bunk beds!) I did a quick search on booking engines and found discounted rates, especially for weekends. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: The Annual Halloween Parade

  • The teeny rooms are a feature of the Arlo Hotels, apparently. The concept is that the room is just for a quick retreat, and the world begins with the large common areas. What's surprising are the rates for such compact accommodations, however well appointed: http://ny.curbed.com/2016/9/23/13036136/nyc-micro-hotel-avroko-hudson-square-nomad — David G.
