I've read some press thing from them bragging about the fact that the light can be seen all the way in Connecticut, so they know exactly how crazy bright it is. Not sure why they think that it's needed, but this is their intention. — Doug on Seen & Heard: Strobing Light Atop 1 World Trade Center

These are aviation anti-collision lights, and by regulation, high intensity flashing white strobes are required on all Structures greater than 500 ft tall. Older buildings like the Empire State are probably grandfathered to use medium intensity red flashing lights. — Pilot Bob on Seen & Heard: Strobing Light Atop 1 World Trade Center

On Saturday late afternoon when I was there, they sold out of bagels. That's like...a bagel shop, not having bagels! — Jk on First Impressions: Black Seed Bagels

I've noticed the strobe too and find it VERY annoying. — KP on Seen & Heard: Strobing Light Atop 1 World Trade Center

What a shame. Polux Fleuriste created beautiful, unique hand-tied bouquets and we loved doing business with them. It's not surprising, though, as it seems most of the original business partners at All Good Things have pulled out. It's always quiet and sad when we go in anymore. Prices are hard to justify. Unless they find a way to innovate before Gourmet Garage goes in at Franklin & Broadway, I'd say their days are numbered. — Max on Polux Fleuriste Is Leaving All Good Things

They've gone from a blinking red light to an incredibly bright white strobe. Why? Is it necessary? It's very unpleasant to say the least. — BobR on Seen & Heard: Strobing Light Atop 1 World Trade Center

The strobe also bounces off the west facing side of the Gehry tower - the skin and design of the 8 Spruce Street building totally enhance it. — Chris on Seen & Heard: Strobing Light Atop 1 World Trade Center

I have had the same experience with the Freedom Tower, I saw the strobe light in my bedroom, I was wondering why that would be the case, it is quite bright and I guess I will be getting black out shades... — sara on Seen & Heard: Strobing Light Atop 1 World Trade Center

They were the only walk-in florist in Tribeca with taste and an actual aesthetic sensibility and who sourced flowers that you couldn't otherwise buy at the one of the delis on Hudson. This is a huge loss to the neighborhood. I hope they reopen nearby. — Eric on Polux Fleuriste Is Leaving All Good Things

I also swore them off after a bad experience. — paul on Polux Fleuriste Is Leaving All Good Things

They were bad business-people. They sat there idle, and refused to put an arrangement together other than "hand bouquets". You needed to call in advance for anything else. Not to mention it was way overpriced. — Chyara on Polux Fleuriste Is Leaving All Good Things

All their drinks are bad ! The michalda taste liked I asked a barmaid at the elks lodge to make it and the white sangria tasted like a cucumber accidentally fell in my pinot grigio. — redmerkyn on First Impressions: El Vez

I can't wait for them to pull down those horrific window decals. — Kenny on Exciting News for the Super Linda Space

I wouldn't go that far. And it could not be a done deal—that's often the case when news whispers out before an official announcement. — Erik Torkells on Exciting News for the Super Linda Space

Have absolute faith in you that this is true! — TribecaMom on Exciting News for the Super Linda Space

Rumor has it Geoffrey Zacharian(sp?) is coming to the super linda space. — Kiff on Carmellini Restaurant Confirmed for the Smyth

For something that's supposed to be "open" in 3 weeks, there still looks to be a lot of work today. Still lots of construction partitions and scaffolds up on the lower level. Frankly, I'm not seeing anything that wows me about the building, making it worth the huge price tag — DavidP on Sneak Peek Inside the Fulton Center

Those dog bowls look great! — Shaun on Loft Peeping: South Tribecan Family

Thalassa on Franklin. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca…?

i remember when there was a beach on the pier.. it would be fun to have a beach.. maybe a outdoor floating pool for the kids.. — toni on In the News: Beach Barge

Re: LG - glad you pointed out that unconscionable move on their part! Hopefully it gets stopped. Perhaps the Rockefeller trust might deign to build a giant hill in front of it? ;) — Rohin on Field Trip: Wave Hill

Destroy that photo of me and I'll destroy the one I have of you.... — Erik Torkells on First Impressions: Tutto Il Giorno

We went the same night as the Citizen (and took a paparazzi shot of him). Went for my wife's birthday. Food was very good. Agree desert needs work. Prices were a bit high vs some of the other top Italian places in the area. Decor was really nice and as a former Grace loyalist I was happy to see a quality transformation of the space. Service was a huge mess BUT in fairness this was their first weekend following their opening and had a number of no shows from a staffing standpoint. I discussed this with the manager when he asked about our experience and he was completely determined to make it all work. It was actually one of the only times I have been to a new restaurant recently where the manager showed interest in the performance of the entire restaurant. This is typical in the restaurant industry as waitstaff can be very unreliable early on. Once they get a good stable of waitstaff they should be in good shape and this takes a few weeks typically. The place was also jam packed which they weren't anticipating so many people so soon. They even held off posting to opentable and listing their info on their website, but still people rolled in. Give them some time and I think this will be a good option in the hood. — Kiff on First Impressions: Tutto Il Giorno

My wife and I went there on Monday night. The food was very good and tasty -- I didn't think it too straightforward -- but the service definitely needs work. We waited 15 minutes just to place a drink order and eventually had to shanghai anoher waiter to take the order. (And it was not crowded at all). To your comment about your server rubbing up on you, ours kept resting his hand on my shoulder as he stood next to the table. Maybe they think its a way to establish intimacy with their guests? Definitely odd.I hope they get it sorted out though because its a beautiful room and the food was quite good IMHO. — Paul on First Impressions: Tutto Il Giorno

Hoping the tree stays too! Love it! On another note - it will be interesting to see what happens with the "rear yard" once all these new bars open and drunk people are wandering the street.... — nicole on Seen & Heard: Hudson Eats Elevator Access
