  • You can call 311 to find out how to report unsafe conditions at a construction site. Normally there's a number posted at a site, but since this has no safety precautions... — A. on Nosy Neighbor: What’s Getting Built on Top of 20 Warren?

  • "you guys wanna go see a dead body?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRlA536rPOI — Ray on Seen & Heard: The Simulated Suicide Was Really Creepy

  • Erik, could you censor and remove nicole & Anon's comments? Their stupidity offends me. Thank you in advance. — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: The Simulated Suicide Was Really Creepy

  • Erik: I have kids who play in the park as well and see no need to censor. It is a horrifying picture (if you didn't know it is fake), but film crews film here all the time....and frankly how many kids see your website? Parents should be able to deal with it. — Liz on Seen & Heard: The Simulated Suicide Was Really Creepy

  • I actually appreciate the photo evidence. I was horrified by the warning notice we received from our building - and seeing that it was a child next to the "big slide" makes it that much worse. I can't really understand how the BPC/city approved this permit given the content. At least two buildings look directly down into this space, and this has to be among the highest child per capita micro-neighborhood in NYC. It's not a free speech issue - it's a question of giving private enterprise domain over (semi)public space to stage a scene in plain view that would be horrifying to the numerous children in the neighborhood. — Matt on Seen & Heard: The Simulated Suicide Was Really Creepy

  • Sorry it offended, but I imagine there are people who will want to see it. And since it's fake—and for a network TV show—I think running it is on this side of propriety. But I did add a couple warnings. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: The Simulated Suicide Was Really Creepy

  • Ditto — Anon on Seen & Heard: The Simulated Suicide Was Really Creepy

  • Is it possible to remove the fake suicide photo? Its really disturbing; especially with it being a park we frequent and being a child. Thank you — nicole on Seen & Heard: The Simulated Suicide Was Really Creepy

  • Whoops. Fixed it (or just go here: https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/403greenwich-courtesy-Admji-and-Andreoli.jpg). But I may have spoken too soon: Yesterday, I walked by and the guys putting up the sidewalk shed were gone (and there was no sign of the shed, either). — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: New Flower Store Unveiled

  • I don't see the rendering of 403 Greenwich at your link, Erik. — KP on Seen & Heard: New Flower Store Unveiled

  • More disturbing is that the $24 lobster is off of the Kids' Menu....maybe. — Jim Smithers on First Impressions: White Street

  • According to the store locator on Dutch Petal's website, at least in Manhattan, the cash and carry locations are all at Gourmet Garage, Citarella and Union Market stores, not free standing like this one. — Nicole on Seen & Heard: New Flower Store Unveiled

  • Will Robin's store be returning? — TribecaDad on Seen & Heard: Church Street Tavern Is Close to Opening

  • Given that lobster prices are at nearly an all-time low currently, there's no valid excuse for charging $24 for that appetizer-sized portion of bucatini, with the meager nubbins of lobster it contains. They need to either increase the portion and make it a straight-up entree for a couple bucks more (like Babbo's spaghettini with a whole lobster for $28) or only charge maybe $16 for the dish as it exists now. It's not the foie gras app, Floyd. Tasty, but no way justifies the price. — Brian Kerk on First Impressions: White Street

  • Looks like some sort of Ponte's scheme to me. — Jim Smithers on Where in Tribeca…?

  • I think it's doing a soft open today. By the way, after posting this I heard back from Church Street Tavern -- it opens tonight — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Church Street Tavern Is Close to Opening

  • Afraid not. (It's conceivable there's an outlet there but it's not where I took this pic) — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

  • The triangle (garden) where West Broadway and Varrick merge btw Franklin and Leonard — Jim M on Where in Tribeca…?

  • Can someone explain to me about that building in the third picture - the one with the handbag shadow. I was in Church Publik, across the street, the other night and the same wall was showing a projection of the Lego Movie. Couldn't figure out where it was coming from or why they were showing it on that wall. — lowphat on Photo Safari!

  • No, but that's a very logical guess! — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?
