Went to Jay's. Can confirm the pizza, staff, and the space are all on point! — Jon on Seen & Heard: Jay’s Pizza is open

Will they sell childrens clothes at this location? — Lolad on Uniqlo coming to World Trade Center this fall

DHS request is interesting and I appreciate you noting that they made that request. They are just functionaries and don't make the rules but it's telling how they advance the propaganda of their bosses, be it Adams or Mamdani. I think it's very interesting that 320 Pearl St. is essentially the Adams plan yet Mamdani / DHS never mentions it, suggesting that it's quite useful to BLAME the former Mayor for this and that but not to CREDIT him for things they believe he was correct about. Re: Breaking Ground, look up the executive pay figures of this and other "non-profit" homeless services providers-- including over the last 5 or 6 years via Pro Publica Charity NonProfit Explorer. It's pretty eye-popping. — Roderick Shusher on An update on two Downtown shelters

Whats crazy is that's only around 11% annual rate of return over 48 years. — D. on 56 North Moore for sale — again

What happened? — Eric on Modern Bread & Bagel coming (hopefully) in December

Just a note: those benches aren't from the 1980s. The grid metal ones in the park itself are, but the ones on Greenwich Street are no older than ~1997, after (as you mentioned) the Greening of Greenwich. You'd think IPN/Stellar would just get it removed, as it's certainly an eyesore for the new atmosphere they're trying to cultivate (my eyes are rolling as I type that, FYI!) — Elizabeth on Seen & Heard: Lightning on One World Trade

Duh, yes, thanks. — Tribeca Citizen on Checking in on Meadow Lane, now that the dust has settled

The lightning strike video is very cool. ALMOST as cool as the one you posted from the thunder snow. — The Noisy Cat on Seen & Heard: Lightning on One World Trade

"The slow days, he said, bring in around $16-18 million; a good weekend day is more like $50 million." <--- typo? I think you probably meant $16-18 thousand / $50 thousand here? — harryh on Checking in on Meadow Lane, now that the dust has settled

You might want to check those numbers :-) — Robert on Checking in on Meadow Lane, now that the dust has settled

Hi Lisa -- I hope your friend is recuperating nicely. You're absolutely right about there being initial (and higher!) CP surcharges for Ubers and yellows in 2018. The smaller new surcharges have been tacked on to those. I want to be clear that (i) my per-minute taxi-and-Uber surcharges would be calibrated to be revenue-equivalent ("revenue-neutral") to the flat surcharges they would replace, and (ii) the surcharge "meter" would be on only when the vehicle (with passenger) are in the congestion zone. I hope this helps. My Streetsblog story spells this out. Best wishes to you and your friend. — Komanoff on Congestion Pricing survives the latest challenge

Mr. Komanoff, Today my partner and I assisted an elderly family friend who was being discharged from the hospital (out of the CP zone) and took him home via taxi (in the CP zone). Unless I am misunderstanding, your proposal - additional per minute pricing - would have meant a much more expensive fare than the current CP surcharges? (I believe there was an initial CP surcharge in 2018? and then another when CP was actually implemented) — Lisa on Congestion Pricing survives the latest challenge

In 1978 that building was for sale for $550k. — OG Tribeca resident since 1975 on 56 North Moore for sale — again

When is enough enough? Why do the landlords do this? This neighborhood is losing everything nice about it. And places are being replaced with expensive, overpriced establishments. Is there anything we as a community can do to stop this from happening? — Pure Barre Member on Pure Barre will close at the end of April

An eataly would be nice in the Heart of Tribeca. — Gerry Post on Big Gay Ice Cream has closed

Nala’s new location at 148 Church St is called “Nala’s Bagels & Ice Cream.” I haven’t checked out the ice cream yet but I’m looking forward to trying it. — SW on Big Gay Ice Cream has closed

First of all it is a condo not a rental building, and they aren’t asking for any tax breaks to build it. — Reademan on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

-- and does our Mayor know about that?? — George Bacon on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

A Tribeca institution. Wishing them another 20 years of success. I just wish Nobu and NND were still there. — Mrs. Chow on Two decades of Mr Chow — and still going

How did the manage to totally ax 'affordable units'? — George Bacon on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

I defer to your expertise on these matters, Mr. Komanoff! I read your piece on per-minute pricing when it was first published, and it seems sensible to me. — malcolm on Congestion Pricing survives the latest challenge

Spring St market is an excellent bodega at Spring and Greenwich. It sustained us during the pandemic. — Marilyn Diamond on Big Gay Ice Cream has closed

@malcolm -- With respect for your acumen, I'll add that any congestion pricing tweaks probably must wait till after November (gov's re-election + congressional midterms). At that point, advocates will be pushing Hochul to nail down her promise to raise the toll to $12 in Jan. 2028. That could be an occasion for related reforms. What's your take on converting the Uber and taxi CP surcharges from flat fees to per-minute-in-the-zone pricing? Even making it revenue-neutral, this swap could add several percentage points to CP's boost in traffic speeds within the zone, by encouraging passengers to avoid peak-period and extra-long trips.

As a Tribeca resident and small business owner, I’m glad to see thoughtful residential development being considered here. What makes Tribeca special isn’t just the architecture — it’s the street life created by small, independent businesses that serve the neighborhood every day. I hope the developers think about how the building can engage with and support the local business community, whether through active street retail or partnerships with neighborhood businesses. Residents benefit when buildings connect to the existing ecosystem rather than operate as closed private spaces. There are many small businesses nearby that would welcome the opportunity to contribute to the life of the building and the street. — Patrick Hall on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

Looks terrific. — Will on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin
