56L is historic and groundbreaking and stunning. We are so lucky we will get to enjoy it soon. The structure is amazing and it's not even finished. Wait until it's finished and lit up at night. Those who don't see that should see the addition to the Louvre. — architect on Seen & Heard: The Battery Bike Path Is Also Open

It'll be fun making a hobby out of sabotaging The Ride. — j frank on In the News: Tour Bus Overload

The first day the line went across the plaza all the way to Beaubourg. Tonight it went in the other direction past PJ Clarke's. For candles. Other Brookfield news: the storefronts have been uncovered for Gucci, with "coming soon" on it. I think Brookstone is open (it was after closing time when I was walking through) and it doesn't look like they've done much since Posman moved out and it doesn't appear on their interactive list so maybe it's a pop-up. A futuristic Santa space is happening across from the Club Monaco men's store on the second floor. There are some new places that look like pop-ups for the holidays--a florist, a newsstand, and a candy place that said they are moving into the Westfield Mall at the WTC in March--as if. And they're *finally* painting the corroded ceiling over the escalators to the concourse. — Hudson River on Seen & Heard: Fire on Worth Street

I haven't yet been to the Museum of Feelings but I did see an awfully long line to get in yesterday. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: Fire on Worth Street

I have the exact same feeling about these signs. I really used to love the vibe on those streets and it is changing so quickly. Nassau still has some funky places but they will be gone within a few years, if that. The Beekman looks like it will be beautiful, but that block of Nassau is going to be utterly transformed. — hst on A FiDi Time Capsule

Wongs Custom Tailors is already gone; replaced by the very tasty Num Pang. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on A FiDi Time Capsule

South side of Canal, east of West Broadway — James on Where in Tribeca…?

I suppose it's partly a matter of personal experience, but I can't see the fuss being made over the scale of 56 Leonard. I've lived diagonally across from the site most of my life - moved in as the equally tall AT&T Long Lines building was just completed. I then saw the high-rise on Thomas St. go up. I go to the corner and look north to see the massive and majestic Ralph Walker building, and before 56 Leonard could see his Western Union building with a glance left - south the once and future WTC. On B'way there's the Federal Building and a number of other moderate to rather tall buildings. I see nothing particularly outstanding about 56 Leonard in that light. Moreover I can't imagine that anyone can realistically imagine a future in which lower Manhattan will move toward smaller buildings and lower density. That's not the way of the world unless one is projecting that this city (and let's recall that the city is a technological invention designed to advance the progress of civilization) is doomed to failure. — David G. Imber on Seen & Heard: The Battery Bike Path Is Also Open

I don't pay serious coin to travel half way around the world to stay at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park every year to look out and see this Circus Bus pedalling its tawdry wares on the curbside. My friend who is a total 'tourist' loves these things so I know to avoid it like a pram filled with Ebola. The sooner the novelty of this drive-by Butchers Window dies, the better. — Nick S on In the News: Tour Bus Overload

Thank you Tribeca Citizen for the information about the neighborhood.. I especially thank you for the info about the quiet clubbing I've been to one before for a friends birthday and it we all had a blast. — T on Seen & Heard: Quiet Clubbing Party

The West Street crossing was open late yesterday afternoon. Hoping this new space relieves some of the crowding on Liberty and Vesey, and bike traffic cutting through the plaza. — Hudson River on Seen & Heard: The Bike Path Outside Brookfield Place Is Open

Nope.... — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

I was crossing Church St on a bright, sunny afternoon last week and the reflection off 56 Leonard was absolutely blinding. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on Seen & Heard: The Battery Bike Path Is Also Open

white and broadway? — sal bruzzese on Where in Tribeca…?

You can't leave the question of scale aside. That is part of the design. That is why so many people resent this horrifically out of scale building. — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: The Battery Bike Path Is Also Open

video store — ADP on Where in Tribeca…?

We are devastated they're closing. Hands On has been such a highlight of my son's early years, and there's nothing else like it. Such a loss for Tribeca. As they sing in class: 'It's time to say goodbye... It's time to say goodbye... All boys and girls and everyone say goodbye.' — Margaret on Another Rent Casualty

Thanks. You gave me some good ideas for Christmas gifts. — Huck's Mom on A Dozen New Enthusiasms

The tenant cannot pay super high rents as the traffic does not warrant the rates being charged. This type of business has limitations. — PerryR on Another Rent Casualty

Self-service ordering kiosks are the logical consequence of the push for a higher minimum wage. McDonald's corporate is on record with saying that they would pursue further automation as wage demands increase. Action - reaction...it shouldn't be a surprise. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on Seen & Heard: The Bike Path Outside Brookfield Place Is Open

We miss petite abeille so much!! It was our go to brunch spot. Haven't found a replacement for their waffles — Diana on New Kid on the Block: The Bennett

Pre Food Emporium: Morgan's Market -- which was really an excellent butcher shop with benefits, Petrosino's fish store on Duane St., Cheese of All Nations on Chambers St. and otherwise yes, to Sloan's over near Police Plaza, a schlep to the supermarket on LaGuardia Place -- or a subway ride up to the Village . . . — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: The Food Emporium Deal Is Done

They also opened the bike path in The Battery yesterday. — Eric on Seen & Heard: The Bike Path Outside Brookfield Place Is Open

Perfect, Robert! Haha — Janet on The “Ghostbusters” Firehouse Is Closing for a Three-Year Renovation

Did the demographic really change? Last I checked, families and older artists live in TriBeCa. That has been the case for quite sometime. We'll see how many fussy, trendy little bars we need here. I think the real reason the owner went with the bar theme is because bars make more money for a lot less effort. I, for one, am very disappointed a bar has replaced Petite Abeille. We need more restaurants---not bars. — Janet on New Kid on the Block: The Bennett
