Contact corporate-- crap rolls downhill, making complaints to the store management wont effect change or consequences. Also, be careful with Mrs Greens, prices at checkout are often higher than the posted prices of the items. — Chachi Arcola on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

I totally agree! It's absolute murder in my life right now - I'm overseeing *two* home renovations, one of which is overseas, and now I have to deal with supermarket prepared foods that I don't care for! I've already had to fire my gardener and housekeeper, and I'm pretty sure one of the children's nannies is stealing. I am basically in Hell right now and since I live in New York City it's not like there are, quite literally, more than 150 establishments that serve (and deliver!) any kind of food I could possibly imagine. Even food that reminds me of my most recent "vacance" in the French Caribbean. Oh, wait, yes there is, and I'm actually a huge baby complaining about my local megamart's prepared food. — Marie Antionette on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

they have been running out of weird things lately - no flour on superbowl weekend (did they not expect people to bake brownies?) no creamed corn in ages, bread inconsistently baked, gourmet cheeses missing and spiced apple juice here one day and then not for a week, and then it's back again... Something is not working as it should there. — Liat on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

Ever tried ordering Whole Foods through Instacart? Usually 1/4 of my ordered items require a replacement because it's out of stock. — Alex on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

Joining the choir here, the store is both dirty and often out of stock on the item you want sometimes for weeks. I just want to remind everyone about FreshDirect, especially for meat, fish, and produce. — N on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

This Washington Post article indicates that the chain trying new things, but will it be at the cost of their original model? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2016/02/11/whole-foods-head-scratching-strategy-to-hold-onto-its-organics-crown/ — JPL on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

It took four days for them to get back to me after I emailed them to see if they had fresh turmeric root. It was a product request. They were out of it on my last visit to the Tribeca store. The reply was from the shift leader, " There has been a bit of computer trouble in the office that handles these requests." Four days? — tommy flynn on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

Sadly, I agree with these comments about Whole Foods as well. Having observed water condensation dripping right onto the meats in the butcher section, I feel like the store is unclean. It is unpredictable what will be there from one day to the next. And, to top off the experience, it is perilous to walk through there with all of the double wide strollers. It is a bit of a hike, but I have found Mrs. Greens on Hudson Street in the West Village to be much better. And, I am looking forward to having a real grocery store back with Best Foods. — elizabeth on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

I agree with these comments. I also find the daily hot food items HORRIFIC. THe soups are watery. The prepared hot dishes: Carribean? Indian? etc are made with inferior ingredients (gristly meat) and targeted for whom? An informal survey indicates the nannies seem to be the heaviest takers. Even the hot daily specials (which are more expensive) offer the same old items every day and are made with inferior ingredients. The store has fallen into a lazy, cheap rut. When I am in Florida I notice the Whole Foods in West Palm Beach offer much better selections of foods at the hot aisles. Why not Tribeca? I like plantains when I visit the Carribean, but not EVERY DAY in Tribeca! — Janet on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

This is one of the reasons why I hate this Whole Foods store. You can't go in there with a recipe and walk out with all the ingredients. One day its lemons, the next day its ginger, the next day its bread flour. They just don't care. — Sandra on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

I do agree that they are out of products. I find lots of stores, all different types from kitchen stores to makeup, to be out of stock. The items I ask for are not exotic but are basic items. I think stores have discovered they are overbuying and don't know where to reduce yet. But as far as the messiness that is on the customers. People put cold items and meat they don't want on random shelves. I saw a tub of ice cream that had gone all soft on a cracker shelve the other day. When I told a staff member they had to throw it, as well as the crackers that got all wet, out. — Tanya on Open Letter: What Happened to Our Whole Foods Store?

Baby? Look who's talking. You're the whiny little brat complaining about people being happy Best Market is opening. Go name something in TriBeCa, Jim SHithers. — A on Seen & Heard: Grazin’ Is Open After All

Lundqvist is one of the best goalies in hockey and would have had two championships over the past three years if only the Rangers could have scored some goals in the playoffs. But he is also a local businessman, as one of the owners of Tiny's on West Broadway. https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/restaurant/tinys/ — PeterD on In the News: Henrik Lundqvist Moved Here

I checked out Equinox for about 5 minutes when I moved to the neighborhood...then joined TriBeCa Health & Fitness over on Chambers & Church. I live directly across the street from Equinox on Murray Street, but why pay 3 times as much for Equinox and their corporate sales force when a better-conceived and better-maintained gym, run by someone who actually lifts weights, is right around the corner? — Will on Will Equinox Get Muscled Out of 50 Murray?

Excuse me? I'll read whatever I want and I won't be bullied not to read or reply to them or post here by a keyboard bigmouth who thinks he can run it because he's Mr.Where In TriBeCa? and has posted for years. — A on Seen & Heard: Grazin’ Is Open After All

From 2012: “It’s going to be the pre-eminent building in Tribeca,” VE Equities’ Justin Erlich told Real Estate Weekly about 11 N. Moore. “This is going to be the 15 Central Park West of Tribeca.” http://rew-online.com/2012/07/18/ve-equities-to-build-%E2%80%98next-15-cpw%E2%80%99/ — Erik Torkells on New Building Report Card: 11 N.

I've been hearing a lot of anecdotes about phone snatching around town, but I witnessed it last Thursday night around 9:00 while running. Two kids on bicycles rode up behind a woman on the west side of Sixth Avenue just below Grand. She screamed and tried to chase them (as did I) but they were off in a flash. It can't hurt to remind people to be conscious while using phones in public. They're easy pickings. — David G. Imber on In the News: Henrik Lundqvist Moved Here

For what it's worth, I enjoy Smithers' hilarious (and often snarky) posts. I really do LOL, chortle even. If you don't like them, just don't read them! — SW on Seen & Heard: Grazin’ Is Open After All

Blink Fitness should open a location in the still vacant space NYSC used to be in at 151 Reade Street. — Think Blink on Will Equinox Get Muscled Out of 50 Murray?

Another poorly crafted and disappointing design from the same developer of 290 west. Your photos expose some truly shoddy, embarrassing work. Obviously, no one takes any pride in the finished product here. As to the design, it is another oppressive structure that tries to spice itself up with a few interesting "gestures" which only worsen the design's incoherence. I recall reading the original marketing hype around this building...wasn't the developer pitching it as "Tribeca's version of 15 CPW?" What a shame. You raise a great question about accountability. So long as people line up to buy from the developer, sight unseen, how can there be any? — McGee on New Building Report Card: 11 N. Moore

Hahaha! — Janet on Will Equinox Get Muscled Out of 50 Murray?

I quit Equinox last year after 14 years- I was one of their first members. I got sick and tired of the price. I also was a personal training customer. While my trainer was the best and I miss working out with him, it was the best decision I've made. I work out on my own now and feel just a fit as I did as a member. The staff is fabulous but I think their high end brand is silly. I also felt that as a long time, loyal customer, they rarely offered any sort of loyalty appreciation - aside from an international charger set which I can buy myself. A gym is a gym is a gym. — Barbara on Will Equinox Get Muscled Out of 50 Murray?

The owner's plans remain a mystery. There was talk of making it all more upscale and changing the storefronts so that they come out to the edge of the building—i.e., getting rid of the overhang. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Updates on Two Restaurants
