The retail space appears to be a condominium unit sold for $8,350,000 in October 2013 to an SPE LLC controlled by Walter & Samuels. http://www.walter-samuels.com The building above is condo/coop. — Sigh on You’ll Never Guess Who’s Sniffing Around the Harrison Space

The classic. Very glad they signed a new 20 year(!) lease. I hope they are not paying too much, because those costs just get passed onto us :( — The Ramesees on Bubby’s Is Taking a Break

I agree that arcade deserves a best baguette in the city vote. — hst on In the News: Gehry Building Gym Brouhaha

Arcade is amazing. The french baguette and croissants are probably the best I have ever had. — TribecaMom on In the News: Gehry Building Gym Brouhaha

The squirrels of Gramercy Park are also mostly Black as well. Another island in a sea of concrete. :-) — Luis Vazquez on In the News: Gehry Building Gym Brouhaha

The color of our City Hall squirrels is indeed interesting, and I thank you for the link. But what I find most interesting about them, and many find _very_ disturbing, is their willingness to make physical contact. I happen to love rodents, and so with less apprehension than most, I'm willing to let them sit in my lap. But in my experience they've never asked permission, and I've seen them freak more than a few lunchtime visitors out with an unanticipated laying-on of paw. I've found the squirrels of City Hall park consume my attention more than the art generally does (as well as whatever else they can stuff in their pouches). — David G.

Fortunately (Or sadly unfortunately) - I would venture to say that well over 1/2 of these units will not have full time residents. A lot of the owners will be foreign buyers or out of towers and will barely be there let alone hang laundry off their balconies. At this price point rest assured that all laundry will be done "off site" Tribeca keeps gaining expensive luxury apartments and commercial spaces without a large enough year round population of consumers to help support them. Would be great if more of the people who owned these apartments actually spent time in them, and were around to visit stores and restaurants and help support local businesses. As Erik has documented in the past few months have been a slew of local businesses closing down. This threatens the vibrancy of our neighborhoods and the cultural heritage that is New York. Would be nice if this could be turned around somehow. — Rohin on Seen & Heard: Two Pizza Recommendations

But I want a Fairway Market! Far more than a new bank! — Liat on In the News: Hopes Dim for Fairway Market

I saw you at the Dairy Bar too! Gay fellows know their tools. — Higgs Merino on A Tribeca Pioneer’s Tale

Yes Delphi had that outdoor shed since the 1970's. I believe that was grandfathered into Super Linda. Now will the outdoor table space in front of the now closed Josephine be granfathered in or can we enjoy sitting on our benches near where the tables were again in peace? — CHR$ on A Permanent Sidewalk Hog Just Got Approved Despite Community Objections

Dear Citizen, Thanks for putting up photos from Doors, NYC taken by my late husband Roy Colmer. He died in Los Angeles 1/24/14. We lived on Walker Street (near Church Street) for many years in a loft, moving 12/2002. He first moved to Walker Street in the late 1960's when just artists lived there. — claudia colmer on Tribeca Doorways in 1975 and 1976

That 56 Leonard building is going to be the fugliest building in the city. Already looks like a cheap Marbella housing block. Bet people are hanging their washing over the balconies within six months. — Andy on Seen & Heard: Two Pizza Recommendations

1. The seizure of New York's public sidewalk space for private profit purposes is enshrined in a modification to the zoning code. That modification (Section 14-4) was done by the staff in the City Planning office in the 1970's without meaningful community input. The date of that section of the zoning code also predates Tribeca's renaissance as a residential neighborhood. The content of it hands all of Tribeca over to sidewalk cafes without any local ability to challenge. Many other neighborhoods have the same problem, Soho excepted. The rules only subject a cafe owner to some minor technical issues about sidewalk width. A tiny saving grace is that if the sidewalk is inside a historic district, the LPC must also regulate any cafes. Alas, the sidewalk cafe in this article is not in any of Tribeca's historic district (although it should be). 2. If Tribecans want greater control over their sidewalks, public spaces, and character of their neighborhood, they need to very noisy about demanding important and essential zoning changes. We urgently need a lot of changes anyway as the zoning code has obviously failed the broader neighborhood. We need height restrictions, greater definition for the word "contextuality", and likely a conversion to "residential" status which would give our neighborhood a huge amount of protection from crazy visions that Big Real Estate has for us. I would add the sidewalk cafe issue onto the list of zoning changes that Tribeca very much needs. 3. Community Boards are treated by politicians as advisory extensions of government. They can only fight so much. The chair of another community board once told me cynically "they are shields for politicians." The boards have no power, no real authority, and do not in a meaningful democratic sense represent the broad community, despite the many hardworking and well-intentioned volunteers who give of their time. My personal view (not that of Tribeca Trust) is that we need NY City Charter revision to first make community boards elected bodies, and subsequently to give them greater power over Land Use and the ULURP process, a suggestion zoning people rebel against - they consider citizens broadly speaking to just be "Nimby's" rather than people who actually care about the places they live in. 4. This particular sidewalk cafe will further harm our case to get that area designated as part of Tribeca East Historic district. It is a kind of "death by a 1000 cuts to the historical character of that block, a death literally watched over by the LPC who knows very well our about request to include those blocks as a way to restore and maintain the sense of place there. 5. As a way forward, I should mention that Tribeca Trust has consulted some very well-known zoning consulting firms and we have a proposal on the table to study a rezoning for Tribeca with more widespread community input than is typical. It does require money and at present most of our resources are devoted to the problem of historic district expansion.
