Unless that private elevator takes you all the way to the lobby, it's very weird to have the main elevators into your apartment dropping everyone off in front of your bedrooms. — lowphat on Floor Plans: The Woolworth Building Penthouse

Never look back in real estate....but I sold that loft in 2009 for $4.4....in the worst time in the real estate market....and yes, the only thing changed is someone added a bath in the master. Otherwise the kitchen stools are the same ones I purchased! Oh well.... — Connie C on In the News: Italian Day Spa on Governors Island

Makes it harder for Occupy-style encampments — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: New Non-Profit on Laight

Thanks for the pic and Luis for the info. There seems to be a trend toward chopping parks up into small weird spaces and I'm not ok with that. — Hudson River on Seen & Heard: New Non-Profit on Laight

The food was very good initially but noticed a lot of not so great quality changes the past few times we went... Have stopped going — Rohin on Kutsher’s Has Gone “on Vacation”

Thrilling to learn, exclusively on the Tribeca Citizen as far as I can tell, that Nike is using our hood for a tennis promotion that will "give tennis its attitude back" and that will invest it with a "new swagger." If tennis in Tribeca had any more swagger and attitude with players literally foaming at the mouth as they fight for court time, you'd have to call in the National Guard. As a leading local tennis malcontent, I object to the Nike tennis promotion because they don't have permits and because I just bought a pair of Adidas Barricade 8 tennis shoes.

The 32 Laight photo does not appear to show any wheelchair access, kind of ironic for building housing a group with the word Disabilities in their name. — jplhere on Seen & Heard: New Non-Profit on Laight

I always liked the place..but noticed it seemed very slow/empty the last 6 months. — JulieW on Kutsher’s Has Gone “on Vacation”

Understood sounds like it has a noble mission, but as a fellow neighbor on the block, none of us appreciated that they did their space buildout each night from 7pm until the wee hours. For weeks, their electricians and other subs worked only in the dead of night, without permits (presumably to avoid city inspectors). One night, they were using a loud power saw out on the street at 11pm. When I finally notified them that we knew they were working without permits, they quickly retreated. However, almost every building on the block has its permits displayed and it would be nice if the management of 32 Laight also had its occupants and tenants play by the rules. I'm sure the nonprofit was just trying to save money, but it's a danger and nuisance to the neighbors when extensive electrical work is not done to code, or when they think they can use the sidewalk for loud work at 11pm at night. — Laight Resident on Seen & Heard: New Non-Profit on Laight

The square at the top will be the site of the new St. Nicholas (designed by Calatrava). It's construction is completely independent of the Liberty Park. The Church is not due to be completed until 2017 or so. Liberty Park on the other hand should be done by late next Spring/early Summer. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: New Non-Profit on Laight

Thanks for the Liberty Park pic! Is the squarish thing at the top St. Nicholas? What are the other odd shapes? — Hudson River on Seen & Heard: New Non-Profit on Laight

Their food is very good. — Brett on Kutsher’s Has Gone “on Vacation”

Maybe they should replace it with a good restaurant (edible food, well-conceived concept, etc..). — Chyara on Kutsher’s Has Gone “on Vacation”

It makes my day when I see them. The cat always looks so happy! Gotta love someone who loves their pet! — CB on Valentine No. 38

I seem to recall a lengthy vacation last summer too. I choose to be optimistic. — Andrea on Kutsher’s Has Gone “on Vacation”

i walked by 60 vestry in the early evening yesterday and i saw guys applying a new coat of black paint to the buidling's windows. i don't think you paint windows of a building that you are going to knock down, so maybe it will survive. — sm on Might This Building Be Spared?

This is my comment on the Slate feature article. I don't know how many other tenants are here who have lived here from 1974, from before IPN became Mitchell-Lama. Congratulations Slate. Slate is the only media I have seen that stated the history of the building accurately. Even the New York Times has reported recently that the buildings were built as Mitchell-Lama; they were not. They were built as is stated correctly here in this article as luxury rentals. In the early 1970s, Tribeca was a warehouse district, a deserted residential community, so devoid of services and residents, the luxury towers did not rent. Other than a few artists, the neighborhood had only a handful of residents. The luxury towers had a tiny handful of tenants. The high-rise towers stood empty, with in some cases no tenants or only one tenant on each floor. The then landlord solved the problem by applying to the Mitchell-Lama program. The few original tenants were given the option of moving at the landlord's expense, or remaining in their apartment, or moving into any other apartment in the development and becoming absorbed into the Mitchell-Lama program. In September, 1974 when I moved into IPN and lived on my floor with one other tenant for more than a year, the New York Post photographed me standing outside the building amid the construction debris. The article's caption said, "Pioneer." So thanks Slate for being the only media so far to report the accurate history of the building. Let's see if in future the New York Times corrects its incorrect report. The social history of housing in the city counts, especially in a changing neighborhood like Tribeca. — Pearl Duncan, author on The Originals of Independence Plaza North

They walk blindly into the street, often while looking at their phones or in the opposite direction of the oncoming traffic, completely oblivious to the fact that there are cars and trucks doing 40 mph inches away from them. — Brett on In the News: “J&R Express” Inside Century 21

I am curious about what pedestrians do to make them such a problem? — Huck's Mom on In the News: “J&R Express” Inside Century 21

Chyara gets the credit on this one! — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Camera Obscura on Chambers

You can always count on TC to track down an answer! Thanks Erik. — Andrea on Seen & Heard: Camera Obscura on Chambers

I can't express how much I loved this piece, the story is great but the photographs really bring these individual stories alive - Thank you to the photographer Susan Jones for pursuing these types of projects that tell real stories about real New Yorkers- LOVE IT! — Caterina on The Originals of Independence Plaza North
