Why would the city deny them a permit? It's not like they block lots of traffic. — Shelley on Cercle Rouge Has Indeed Closed

This is unfortunate as I loved the food at Cercle Rouge. Will you be transferring some of the more popular item to the menu of one of your other restaurants? I especially loved the Cercle wings and kale and Sprouts salad. Or, would you be so kind supply me with the recipes of both? Merci — Elodie on Warning Signs at Cercle Rouge

They should ask the Triraq boys if they know anything. They seem very good at climbing fire escapes and getting into places they shouldn't. Not to mention impersonating the NYPD. — ellen on Has the Tribeca Cat Burglar Come Back?

All doors were locked. He accessed thru a window. Police suggest video cameras on all rooftop terraces, and brackets to prevent windows from being opened more than a few inches. — LilyMurray on Has the Tribeca Cat Burglar Come Back?

Thank you so much for this! The line last month was just ridiculous for day visitors without a reserved ticket and I couldn't wait. Now I REALLY want to see it! — Sara on Field Trip: The Broad

The work was shown in a presentation titled "Façade Alteration @ 1st Floor, Duane Street Hotel," consisting of 20 digital slides, prepared by TarLan Design-Build, LLC, and presented at the Public Hearing and Meeting." — James on Seen & Heard: More on the Mehtaphor Reboot

"Summers of horror"??? Hey, get a life and mind your own business. Some people are here for places like Buddha Bar. — russell cecil on Buddha Bar Wants to Open in Tribeca

"That would be (another) disaster for the neighbors on Thomas and other nearby streets who went through summers of horror with Megu (and Obeca Li before it), particularly their after-hours parties." -- does this person think they live in the Upper East Side? More NIMBY whining... — Joe on Buddha Bar Wants to Open in Tribeca

Uh...James, Buddha Bar is not about stroller culture. Its a chain Wealthy Bro Culture destination. The "Art of Living" description is either laughable at best, vomit inducing at worst. Good luck neighbors and may you beat back developers. — cami on Buddha Bar Wants to Open in Tribeca

Unfortunately with the gentrification of TriBeCa and the invasion of the strollers, the area is becoming more and more dull. The strollers everywhere placed by bored housewives really are an embarrassment. TriBeCa needs more edge, not more leisurewear. — James on Buddha Bar Wants to Open in Tribeca

Very cold, inhuman place. It looks interesting for a minute, but then you can't wait to get out of it. There are no warming details, the scale is overwhelming, and there is no evidence of anything created by flesh and blood beings. It is kind of like being inside a giant sun bleached whale carcass, or an impossibly large, vaguely anthropomorphic sculpture. All in all, it would make a good setting for a Philip K. Dick story. — Robert Ripps on Inside the Oculus

They seem to be expanding onto the sidewalk along Church Street as of this morning. Does anyone know what that structure will be? — JVZ on Call It a Mehtamorphosis

For a year or so this was a great last stop on those fun date nights that get a little out of control towards the end. Super friendly manager and bartenders and waiters, it was a really fun place. Then one night we popped in for a last drink and the entire staff had been replaced. The new downer bartender said the owner had fired everyone at the same time and replaced them with an entire new staff. Problem was, the new staff sucked. Maybe they weren't blowing lines in the coat check and drinking all the restaurant's liquor, but they weren't any fun at all regardless. Very depressing staff actually. We didn't even finish our drinks that night. We went home, and never went back. — Kristopher on Warning Signs at Cercle Rouge

The place has been a disaster since day one. — David on Warning Signs at Cercle Rouge

If the restaurant is closed for good, it is unlikely that the State Liquor Authority will let another full liquor license be issued next door to the mosque in violation of the 200 feet rule. That is reason enough for *both* parties to cone to a settlement here. — James on Warning Signs at Cercle Rouge

As much as I love(d) P&S Fabrics all these years they did the same "closing sale" about 10-15 years ago at their original location with prizes and raffles, etc. I will miss them and their messy basement... — Dixie on Seen & Heard: Accessories Pop-Up

Fabulous! — Janet on Inside the Oculus

Not Organic!!! Not certified. Just go to Juice press on Murray. Plus their juices aren't cold pressed. — Gerardo on New Kid on the Block: Wicked Juice and Kitchen

Based on the index number shown on the marshal's notice, this case was likely filed in October, and they probably owed 2-3 months of rent at least at that point. So now they probably owe around 8 months of rent. That's a lot to come up with on short notice after all that time. — James on Warning Signs at Cercle Rouge

I meant condo, not co-op. Apologies. — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Still No Progress at Pier 26 Restaurant
