Just wonderful images! They're universal yet specific to our neighborhood. Thanks for posting! — Susan on Local Lens: Clay Benskin (Part 3)

Since DiBlasio has decided he isn't going to prosecute minor crimes (fare beating, public urination, etc.), he has to make up the funds used for income redistribution some how! Relax and be happy knowing you're making helping to make a real crooks life a little easier. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on Inside the Salt Shed and Sanitation Garage

So we're not alone, here on Murray Street, in being inundated with absurd tickets from Sanitation? It seems like we receive two summons every week, for just about anything. They're written up by some inspector at 7 or 8 am, before we have a chance to sweep up the sidewalk, so it's mostly for loose litter or cigarette butts that someone dropped overnight, or trash that someone too lazy to walk to the corner to a public trash receptacle instead tossed on top of our carefully sorted and placed garbage bags. Anyway, I've been wondering if anyone in TribeCa has organized to confront Sanitation around the endless tickets - they're becoming a nightmare and it certainly appears abusive, an easy way for them to raise cash at our expense. — Will on Inside the Salt Shed and Sanitation Garage

Wonder if celebrity apartments command a premium? By that logic, her apartment should sell at a discount ;-) Pinky JJ — Pinky JJ on In the News: Gwyneth and Chris Have Listed Their Apartment

Just fantastic! Best stuff I've seen in years. — Dixie on Local Lens: Clay Benskin (Part 3)

I am equally distressed about Gywnn & Chris' uncoupling of yet another apartment. Does this signal that Tribeca has officially jumped the shark and/or Canadian goose? Yes, I fear it does. I also fear that we might not ever fully comprehend the full magnitude of this loss until the Lord Jesus Christ Superstar himself returns to denounce the need for yet another unnecessary Tribeca Family Festival. So we may never know... — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Dinner at Gotan?

He's on Staple sketching right now! — Julie on The Sketchbooks of Ian Berry

Great first experience here for lunch today. Happy to see it was bustling so quickly after opening. Delicious food, very friendly vibe. Happy to have them in the hood! — Leonard street on New Kid on the Block: Two Hands Restaurant & Bar

CHownow will not be able to compete or offer the restaurants a solution to compete with seamless becuase it doesnt aggregrate all the restaurants in one place. Chownow can be for repeat customers, however getting new customers is what aggregation list is for. All restaurants in one place. — bob on Why Restaurants Hate GrubHub Seamless

I am literally heartbroken that Gwynn & Chris are uncoupling from their Tribeca apartment. It is literally heartbreaking. Literally. How will we recover as a community? Wait a second, is Two Hands delivering yet? Also, is there a warm weather Canada Goose jacket that every schmucko is going to buy and/or transition to in the coming weeks? Couples who wear Canada Goose jackets get extra points at schmuckoville. — Jim Smithers on In the News: Gwyneth and Chris Have Listed Their Apartment

Thanks for the article. Interesting to learn how much restaurants pay to seamless (in some cases $100K per year). But what would be more helpful to know is how much incremental revenue that comes with?? i.e. at a 20% commission rate that tells me they are bagging an extra 500K in revenue from delivery orders? That is a lot of volume that i don't think can realistically be driven by just phone and or smaller competitors. Also would be good to know how much a resto would have to spend on marketing dollars just to get that increase in volume/revenue as a comparison. In general agree that fees could be lower but i also don't really see what the restos are complaining about as there is clearly value being delivered. What am i missing?? — Suzy on Why Restaurants Hate GrubHub Seamless

How about a $100 ticket because the garbage bag had the possibility to rip and scatter the garbage. It never did, but this guy knows no one is going to go the court to fight it. — TribecaMom on Inside the Salt Shed and Sanitation Garage

Adam, Vey funny indeed... And quite on point :)! We routinely pay fines because of all the lunchtime garbage that construction workers dump while loitering on our sidewalk. — Rohin on Inside the Salt Shed and Sanitation Garage

BTW, what the heck is happening with this building (which is an early 19th century house), does anyone know? its been in a state of renovation/construction for what seems like close to 10years! — Rudi on Where in Tribeca…?

The standard rate for restaurant delivery services to deliver food is 30%. Most of this goes back into marketing the restaurants. — James on Why Restaurants Hate GrubHub Seamless

Not exactly in Tribeca but there's going to be a Peter Liang rally this Friday at 11:30 in Foley Sq. Also, yesterday in front of Manhattan youth, volunteers were asking folks to sign petition related to BPCA. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Zoning Proposals for the New Middle School

Per the article: "One reason they don’t offer delivery is because they can’t ensure that your meal will live up to Two Hands standards. You can place a takeout order at the restaurant’s coffee counter, but you can’t call it in because there’s no phone." — Paul on New Kid on the Block: Two Hands Restaurant & Bar

Probably because it was full inside? — Paul on New Kid on the Block: Two Hands Restaurant & Bar

The Wall Street Journal has a Hamilton-related article on the front page today as well. — NV on In the News: Antennas Atop 1 World Trade Center

I am glad the Tribeca likes it, because considering all the ridiculous DSNY fines we have been subject too we pretty much paid for it. — Adam on Inside the Salt Shed and Sanitation Garage

Are there any other streets in New York named for an architect? (James Renwick (1818 - 1895), of course, was the architect of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Grace Church and other New York buildings.) — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: The Spiritual Awakening of Seasonal Whispers

I would love to see your new building report card- there is SO much new construction on Renwick and the hotel looks just about ready to open! — Marla on Seen & Heard: The Spiritual Awakening of Seasonal Whispers

I drove past the salt shed after dark last week and it's even more striking under illumination than in the daytime. — NV on Inside the Salt Shed and Sanitation Garage

Kind of annoying that when we went by today we were stopped outside the restaurant by an employee with a tablet. I mean come on, at least let people step in and then take down their names or ask if they want take out or to wait for a table. — Jen on New Kid on the Block: Two Hands Restaurant & Bar
