Meat me in Tribeca. — Robert Ripps on Good News for Chicagoans

One day I hope lower Manhattan can be considered the legitimate "epicenter of ‘beef’ culture". — jk on Good News for Chicagoans

Unfortunately the Food Emporium space seems much too small for a TJ's as is, unless they vacate the apartments immediately above the store. Look at the TJ's on 14th St., the lines there often stretch into the street. But we should still petition for one. — Dixie on Seen & Heard: Food Emporium Update

Saw that but figured the building is city-owned. Also, if anything, it'll be another pre-K facility. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: “Ghostbusters” Reboot Shooting Here

The paperwork for the school has an engineering firm that was done work with the NYC School Construction Authority, and other .gov email addresses. Is this going to be one of the new public schools the neighborhood was promised 2 years ago? — cami on Seen & Heard: “Ghostbusters” Reboot Shooting Here

Re: Food Emporium closing -- One word: well, two: TRADER JOE'S! Google "Trader Joe's: Location Request form"; then click on "Request a TJ's in My City", fill in the forms and then, in the comments box, tell them to move a.s.a.p. to Greenwich Street!! — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: Food Emporium Update

Thank you for this! I've always wondered about the store, must have walked by a million times. — BT on Spotlight: Abhaya

It is a classic Selldorf-designed building, with a rich-looking limestone facade that references but does not reproduce the historical buildings around. I think it it looks beautiful, elegant, and expensive. Selldorf happens to be the architect of all of my company's offices, so I know that the finished inside will be high-end and restrained, just like the exterior. Bravo! A tasteful and sophisticated-looking new development in the neighborhood. — CC on New Building Report Card: The Reade Chambers

"Mover, shaker and Italian beef maker." I like this guy already. Story headline should read, "Good News For Tribecans." — Scotty W on Good News for Chicagoans

In addition to the Tribeca Trust posters urging "Stop Demolishing Tribeca" we should consider, IMHO, the slogan "Save Tribeca's Soul." Yes, they're keeping the building, but its soul? — Nathan D on Seen & Heard: Historic Signage at Risk

I'm as totally sold by the notion of three generations of beef know-how as I am taken by the sweep of interpretations "beef know-how" might have. And yet, somehow, I suspect I won't be a patron. Good luck to them though. And to Hank's children, as I'd imagine succeeding three generations of beef know-how must be an onerous responsibility. — David G. Imber on Good News for Chicagoans

Ummmm, CB1's FiDi Committee WAS into the idea. We passed the resolution though we asked that they add the date. It just needs to be confirmed by the Board as a whole at the end of the month. :-) — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on In the News: Final Design for the 456 Greenwich Hotel

A couple more.... Breadshop Cafe, Montrachez, River Run, Good Enough To Eat. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on Memories of Old Tribeca Restaurants

what happened to the Fresh group--Shore and (can't remember the 3rd one). Did they pivot or just leave altogether? — cami on Memories of Old Tribeca Restaurants

Oh, how I miss the original Duane Park! Even though we only went once or twice a year they always made us feel like old friends and regulars and when friends from other parts of the city wanted to know where to meet out of towners it never disappointed. — N on Memories of Old Tribeca Restaurants

Visited on Labor Day, Monday Sept. 7, 2015 for the 3rd time. The 1st 2 visits were great. Love the atmosphere. Had the same waiter the 1st 2 times. Andrew from Ireland. He was the perfect waiter. Yesterday, well a different story. The whole waitstaff seemed to be off. Their knowledge gets a D- in my book. We ordered drinks and it took about 15 minutes. Ordered 1 dozen oysters and they brought 6 and then brought the other 6 at dessert time. Ordered meals and 1 was missing and the waitress tells us that the Chef was too busy and forgot. WHAT? Terrible service. As I said, I love the atmosphere so if I ever go back there, I will only go for drinks. Very poorly managed and terrible waitstaff. It wasn't only our table receiving the ill service, other tables were as well. Save your money and just go for drinks to the bar. — MARYELLEN MCCLOSKEY on Pier A Is Now Open—and It’s Gorgeous

alas, the brickwork may be doomed. the interior has an amazing illustrated ceiling that you can see lit up at night from the reade st side. how is that going to work with a condo? — josh on Seen & Heard: Historic Signage at Risk

What disturbed me the most about this restaurant closing is that I had a reservation for 9 people the evening they decided to close. I had received a phone call from them 2 days earlier confirming my reservation. How about a little courtesy to let me know that my 8 guests and myself would be standing in the middle of Tribeca without very many options. Not too many restaurants could accommodate 9 people on a Thursday night at 730p in the middle of the summer. — Terry on Dylan Prime Has Closed

The shelves are stocked at Gourmet Garage as of today (9/8) with non-perishables. I figure any day now... — Rishi on Seen & Heard: Gourmet Garage Is Getting Closer

Shake Shack is (and always was) scheduled to open in late 2016. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: Shake Shack Signage

The Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, established in 1850, was an important aid to Irish immigrants settling in New York during the second half of the 19th century. Like the Statue of Liberty and the Irish Hunger Memorial, the historical signage of Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, has significance as a memorial to the enormous immigrant populations of the 19th and 20th century in lower Manhattan. — Elise on Seen & Heard: Historic Signage at Risk

The full Shake Shack sign had been there for months (years?). Maybe Shake Shack got tired of waiting and backed out? Curious that it's taking so long to get retail in there. — Hudson River on Seen & Heard: Shake Shack Signage
