Perhaps the large white rabbits did not want to hop out of the way for the Tribeca Film Festival to make room for the Drive-In screen at the Brookfield Place Plaza. — JPL on Seen & Heard: Franklin Street Flea Market

I'm with you on the word "curate". — Leo on In the News: The Rise of the Meat and Three

I just can't get over what an eye sore 56 Leonard is. Ugh. — Mark on Seen & Heard: Franklin Street Flea Market

The annoying ice cream truck was back tonight. We need to keep this guy out of the neighborhood. — Dan on Seen & Heard: How to Report an Overly Loud Ice Cream Truck

I find myself saying it looks ok and is not as bad as Truffles which is a very low bar. I like the other new building on the same block much better. — Dave on New Building Report Card: 456 Washington

Ha! I'm wondering myself Erik, but we have to remember that FiDi has almost 300,000 office workers, 14,000,000 tourists last year and that number will climb dramatically as the Seaport, WTC and other attractions continue to open. It has an affluent and growing residential base, growing numbers of hotel rooms and more that 50,000 students in Higher Education. That's a lot of potential shoppers. There may indeed be room for all of this, but we shall see. It makes perfect sense to put retail at the bottom of these buildings as these are the least desirable for apartments. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on In the News: The Rise of the Meat and Three

It's great to find someone so on the ball — Jonetta on Seen & Heard: Successful Petition for a Gumball Machine

Very sad. I used to handle my worst bouts of insomnia and midnight munchies by pigging out there occassionally between 2-6am, watching the night owls and early birds cross paths in that nethersphere, barely touching their pancakes and pork sausage while I wolfed everything down. I remember there would usually be some strange combination of (a) middle aged couples on a date night (or..?) canoodling in the corner, stoking their flames, (b) younger couples in their 20-30s who were clearly just getting to know each other, etc. The overnight staff must have some great stories. — H. B. on Seen & Heard: Beach Street Pizzeria Revealed

They're for you. (The city doesn't generally specify the reason.) — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: How to Report an Overly Loud Ice Cream Truck

What is the occasion for the fireworks? — Lauren on Seen & Heard: How to Report an Overly Loud Ice Cream Truck

Of course it is. Stupid mistake. Thanks — Erik Torkells on New Building Report Card: 456 Washington

building is on Watts and Washington, not Desbrosses — Dave on New Building Report Card: 456 Washington

The old TD Bank and Bond space will be a One Medical facility. — mojo mike on Seen & Heard: How to Report an Overly Loud Ice Cream Truck

I believe building 33 and 34 are already gone which has revealed some curious Ghost Signs beneath on the side of 31 or 29- cant quite make out what they are but they look like landscapes or some sort of scenery? — Ian Berry on In the News: Park Row Tower Confirmed

Yes! Please keep publishing these. While some of the ground floor details are appreciated, overall it looks like a poorly done rental to me. Using glass that appears to be green tinted was a particularly bad choice. Maybe it looks better in person. — A. on New Building Report Card: 456 Washington

Oh, Jesse--get over yourself and be nice. It was kind of a joke. But any panties that have a hole in the crotch aren't mainstream. What a grouch. — Janet on Kiki de Montparnasse Has Closed

I love these report cards. It's so nice to see a critical but open-minded eye on the neighborhood. Also great to compare to the before pictures. — Dan Kohn on New Building Report Card: 456 Washington

I owned (with my ex) Manhattan South 1983-85 on Hubert. We lived in the INP dog bldg (beautiful Akita). Those were the days. Standing on Greenwich and yelling up to my friend's loft to throw down the key. Were you ever at the restaurant? — Barbara Derderian on Tribeca in the 1980s

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ — Erik Torkells on In the News: Sheldon Silver Was Shtupping a Lobbyist

It's not just bullhorns. It's those absurd speakers set up every few feet along Church St with inane chatter like "Here come 3 riders from Minnesota." No one cares. Start the race, then shut up! People live here. Many of us work late, even on weekends. And please, don't play the National Anthem at the start of each leg! If they must play it at stupid-thirty in the morning, do it once. And since the roads are opened only for the bikes, stop riding on the sidewalk. (Can you tell this bike ride frustrates me every year? Ok. Rant over.) — S on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (April 2016)

That's store wasn't that Kinky - it was very classy, with some really high priced items. I loved browsing there. I also loved that it was RIGHT next door to a children's clothing store! — ... on Kiki de Montparnasse Has Closed

I guess Silver had more than just his hand out. — PeterD on In the News: Sheldon Silver Was Shtupping a Lobbyist

I agree with James; NE corner of Chambers and Church St. — neighbor on Where in Tribeca…?

Published information indicates one of the Silver women was possibly Patricia Lynch, his former aide and lobbyist. Per Newsday (http://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/sheldon-silver-had-2-extramarital-relationships-docs-say-1.11694908) "The government and media lawyers fought for their release, but it was opposed by Silver’s legal team and by Abbe David Lowell, the lawyer for the female lobbyist, who tried to keep the fact that she was a lobbyist secret as well as her name. [...] "Lowell, a lawyer at the law firm Chadbourne & Parke, initially contended, according to unsealed court filings, that his own name should be kept secret because it would make the identity of the lobbyist obvious. He did not return a call for comment." Lowell represented Patricia Lynch in a matter involving her lobbying firm and the NYS Attorney General. Per http://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/press-releases/archived/PLA.pdf: "This Assurance of Discontinuance ("Assurance") contains the findings of the Attorney General's investigation as relevant to Patricia Lynch Associates Inc. ("PLA") and the employees thereof, and the relief agreed to by the parties. [...] "45. All notices, reports, requests, and other communications to any party pursuant to this Assurance shall be in writing and shall be directed as follows: If to PLA: Abbe D. Lowell, Esq. McDermott Will & Emery LLP 600 13th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20005-3096" — James on In the News: Sheldon Silver Was Shtupping a Lobbyist
