  • They've been on University place forever with rich hippy clothes back in the day and pricey Boho since. They have a kids store too. Since their look is one of fantasy, can't wait to see their Tribeca prices. — Anna on A New Clothing Store on Duane

  • You are a caring example of what the word humanity truly means. Marjory — Marjory horowitz on Pop-Up: Shelter Chic

  • Sooooo impressive!!! Congratulations for your passion and devotion in helping animals who don't have a say . I am thankful that you are helping the world see that people who abuse and abandon animals must be accountable for their action. These poor defensive animals must have people like you take up their cause... It is about time! I am so proud of you and the work you are doing.. You are making a difference. — Dana Feldman on Pop-Up: Shelter Chic

  • Probably because it was deteriorating and couldn't secure it (Local Law 11). — george martin on Nosy Neighbor: Why Was This Cornice Removed?

  • Re 376 Broadway: Per Certificate of Occupancy 113287 dated 8/27/97, this building received valuable floor area in exchange for that public plaza. The motorcycle store has no right to monopolize the public space. "Floor area bonus of 22,516 SF for residential plaza has been incorporated into allowable floor area." And: "OPEN SPACE USES: PLAZA 3,752 SQ FT." This is the total footage I understand the public has the right too, not just a partial area. http://a810-cofo.nyc.gov/cofo/M/000/113000/M000113288.PDF Complain to DOB @ 311 — James on Seen & Heard: The Pier 26 Restaurant Is Still an Empty Shell

  • makes sense because they shot some scenes with the infamous ramrod in the background which is by christopher street. — josh on A Huge Leap Forward for Pier 26

  • Wowee, Smithers really is amazing! How many "Where in Tribeca?s" have there been and how many has he won? He really is amazing. I can't say it enough. Amazing. — Jim Smithers on Where in Tribeca…?

  • This is awesome! Thanks for sharing! — Robbie on Footage of Tribeca in the 1970s

  • It's interesting how the actual letter from the parent of the boy describes 2 boys, 13 or 14 years old. Somehow, Broadsheet manages to turn that into "a gang on bikes" that robbed (they didn't end up taking anything) a resident. They even manage to further sensationalize the incident by describing the events by referring to a "group of boys" riding in "a pack" and describing it like there were at least 4 attackers involved. Not sure why they felt the need to pump the story full of steroids, rather than just telling the facts and trying to address the actual issue at hand. — lowphat on In the News: Loitering in Battery Park City’s Parks

  • Thanks for this -- and that pic of Pier 48 you linked to is amazing! (Will fix my misspelling of your name as soon as I get home) — Erik Torkells on A Huge Leap Forward for Pier 26

  • They also turned around and shot from the opposite direction and for a brief moment you can see Pier 40 behind them (1:49). So it does look like it was made on either Christopher Street Pier (Pier 45) or Pier 46, but in any case, not 26. — Rich Sackmann on A Huge Leap Forward for Pier 26

  • The decaying pier in the background is Pier 48 so this video was shot (at least in those scenes) south of that. http://gildedbirds.com/2013/11/28/gustavo-bonevardi/ — Rich Sackmann on A Huge Leap Forward for Pier 26

  • 1. When do we expect these Fulton Center places to open? 2. I give Lot 77 6 months. Valiant effort tho. — John on Seen & Heard: Teenager Pepper-Sprayed for His Phone

  • Seven is definitely Harrison. And eight is Hudson between Duane and Jay. — Erik Torkells on Footage of Tribeca in the 1970s

  • First is Staple Second is Laight looking West towards Greenwich Third is Washington Street looking north towards Vestry Fourth is Collister Street looking south (between Vestry / Hubert) Fifth is Greenwich looking north towards Vestry Seventh is Harrison looking east towards Hudson and Puffys (I think) Great pics! — charango on Footage of Tribeca in the 1970s

  • thanks erik. the ymca video was the highlight of my morning. i would have guessed that that they are dancing on the christopher street pier. does anyone know what the dilapidated pier in the background is? my guess is it's the debrosses street pier which you can still see some pilings of in the water. — josh on A Huge Leap Forward for Pier 26

  • Dinkins was a disappointing mayor in many ways but during his term he allocated the monies needed to upgrade and increase the city's park and green spaces. He also increased NYPD hiring and the crime rate decreased under his watch for the first time in decades.
