I am sad about Posman. They are a great bookstore, and the location really was terrible. — Laura on Brookfield Place’s First Casualty

Nope, but also a good guess! — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Beach St side of Greenwich St Tavern? — amorris on Where in Tribeca…?

I'm thrilled to have GG in the neighborhood, but you know who must be the most thrilled of all? The owners at 366 Broadway whose common charges have decreased substantially since GG signed the lease! — JH on First Impressions: Gourmet Garage

Nope, but good guess! — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Great shots! I see this from my apartment window (I face north). I am glad they topped it off with the funky jenga penthouse. If they'd stopped at the stubby part just below that, the building would be just awful. The glass is very pretty on a cloudy day, reflecting the sky. And, at certain times of the day, it bounces thick sunlight back into my apartment. It sure beats the big tall (boring) building on Park (I think) and Church. I will be interested to see if there will ever be lights on in there at night. I don't mind it. — Barbara on Sixteen Ways of Looking at 56 Leonard

I hope that stench is staunched! It's been unbearable every time I pass it coming out of the subway or on my way along Church. As an avid cyclist and commuter, I agree the police cars in the bike lanes have really been annoying lately. Speaking of barriers to safe riding in the hood, fashion week shenanigans and film shoots have also gummed up the works. Permit costs for these events should be quadrupled and their activities carefully policed so they do not interfere with foot traffic, bike paths, and general community safety. — Michael on Seen & Heard: The Church Street Stench Has Been Addressed

Want to add to the chorus of thanks for this terrific study! — David G. Imber on Sixteen Ways of Looking at 56 Leonard

But are they happy? Just kidding. They need some good art of their walls though - buy locally! — TG on Loft Tour Preview #1: Duane Street Penthouse

Roberto, how do Londoners acquire a copy? Michael — Michael McKinnon on Post Poem Praise

Roberto, you post no bull. My vote has you as the official war artist for Bernie Sanders Went to Dantes birthday at Pennys on the 15th. Some things are timeless. Off to Seville bull ring next week to record the last throws of the Coloseums. Grisly business. Waterfalls of blood. Love from all your London Fan Club. Michael — Michael McKinnon on Post Poem Praise

This is beautiful, Erik! Thank you so much.... — JK on Post Poem Praise

I have raised this issue with CB1 repeatedly as the restaurants on Reade Street have spread quite a bit leaving a narrow sidewalk. The response is usually that YOU have to take photos and submit complaints to the Dept of Consumer Affairs who are supposed to regulate and monitor sidewalk cafes. The sidewalk café at the Smyth hotel leave a very narrow area and then a subway grating. The short answer is there is almost no enforcement or monitoring and no sanctions if you get caught violating the conditions. Sidewalks are rapidly becoming obstacle courses. — Bob M on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (September)

Let's not forget that these people have agreed to let strangers—and worse, the media—into their homes in order to benefit two local parks. — Erik Torkells on Loft Tour Preview #1: Duane Street Penthouse

pretty sweet space but uncohesive interior design...? wtf. — red zephir on Loft Tour Preview #1: Duane Street Penthouse

Yes, I am sure developers will look at it, and magically think one is enough, why spoil the views of the 1% living on the top of it, why keep making money off the neighborhood we tout as great as a main selling point, while we systematically set out to tear it down, and destroy the very fabric and character that makes Tribeca so desirable... hope springs eternal. Then I wake up. — Robert Ripps on Sixteen Ways of Looking at 56 Leonard

Terrific pics of 56 Leonard and neighboring buildings/streetscape. — Heather on Sixteen Ways of Looking at 56 Leonard

Thanks Eric! I'm just a little disappointed that they aren't actually called doodads. Was really hopeful that I got the vocab right on that inquiry. Darn it! — Jolene on Nosy Neighbor: What Are Those Doodads on 60 Vestry?

Interestingly, while driving down on West Street, we noticed the building from above Canal--very prominent as it is significantly taller than everything around it. I have no opinions on the building itself, but I hope the rush to erect buildings of this size abates a bit. — cami on Sixteen Ways of Looking at 56 Leonard

What a great photo essay. As I was 'following' you along your route, I was struck by how visible this building is from everywhere! I know you noted this at the end, but it bears repeating. Although I do find the cantilevering interesting, one can only hope that the glass curtain wall does make it blend with the sky somewhat (much like 4WTC). Again, as you note, it's interesting to see the beauty of the older buildings that surround it as part of the same view. Protecting those buildings and many more that are at risk is paramount, and at the heart of Tribeca Trust's efforts. — Andrea on Sixteen Ways of Looking at 56 Leonard

Bravo! — architect on Sixteen Ways of Looking at 56 Leonard

that pizza place always takes half an hour. Most disorganized place in Brookfield. It's always chaos behind the counter. — NickW on Brookfield Place’s First Casualty
