  • Update, my friends got a new last minute wedding invite saying the venue has been changed to the Conrad Hotel so evidently Spring Studios was not ready to host an event yet & the wedding planner had to scramble to find a last minute event space. — Rosalie on Seen & Heard: Washington Market Tavern Update

  • Jim, Despite the ever changing names and personalities of neighborhoods; the city continues to beguile, beckon and bedazzle. In Huxley's last words: "Never enough beauty". — dianne talan on El Internacional, the First Postmodern Art Restaurant

  • Sorry, that’s incorrect.... — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

  • There is certainly no joy in Tribeca anymore, only forced smiles obscured by cashmere scarves and wraps. Rats have been replaced by children. Why do we bother to live here? It should be called Mudville, not Tribeca. Too much? — Jim Smithers on El Internacional, the First Postmodern Art Restaurant

  • Nice try. Don't think so! — Francesco on In the News: Another Seaport Tower

  • The neighborhood fought so hard to keep this. Adam Gopnik wrote a piece in The New Yorker about it (in which he called me a real estate broker Saul Bellow might have invented). Rick Cook designed a perfectly respectable, buttoned-down building in its place. But it marked the end of the joyous Tribeca and the beginning of cashmere Tribeca. Do find Marjorie Strider, an artist who worked on the exterior of El Internacional. — Bruce Ehrmann on El Internacional, the First Postmodern Art Restaurant

  • The official WTC website calls for the Federal Transit Administration to develop "future transportation services" at Ground Zero. New York senate bill 4912 legalizes autonomous, self-driving cars on the state's roadways. Ground Zero is becoming the World Transportation Center (WTC), epicenter of an ever-expanding, universal MagLev infrastructure that guides and propels driverless cars. — James Poirier on Seen & Heard: World Trade Center Transportation Hub

  • I wish you the best of luck. The menu looks unique and TriBeCa could use a nice,casual restaurant. — Katie on New Restaurant Opening on Greenwich

  • Thanks for updating. I hope you do the same for the other 11 articles of the same series. Again, it is not my duty to inform you that you stole my pics not to mention other people's. It is YOU who should be reviewing this since now you're aware that an issue has been raised. Thank you. — Lenallure on Instagram Tribeca (Vol. 12)

  • @Lenallure: Done. And I'm only aware of this one image; if you're aware of others, please let me know. — Erik Torkells on Instagram Tribeca (Vol. 12)

  • Please take down all my TriBeCa pictures immediately. This is wrong on so many different levels. I have to express to stop you from stealing my pics by leaving a comment like this. You should understand your post does not direct to any of my web content and you are not running a pinterest board. — Lenallure on Instagram Tribeca (Vol. 12)

  • Hi Everyone! I appreciate your comments and although I clearly do not agree with them, they are welcomed. We already have all the money we need to open our restaurant and carry out whatever expenses may arise. The Kickstarter project was to have some community involvement where you will donate and receive rewards. This test market was to see if customers are welcoming to our concept and based on the amount raised it would appear not but that is also not true. We have spoken with many people and they are looking forward to seeing our restaurant open and it will. It takes much more than $75,000 to open a restaurant so it is premature to think we are reliant on that, no we have already put the money to the side already for the restaurant and daily operations for several years. We would love to see you their and will market our restaurant aggressively to insure success, we are passionate about our presentation and taste of our food and that will stand the test of time. Once the restaurant is open, we are confident that you all will enjoy our food and also agree that our cupcakes are the best you have ever tasted as many so called chefs do not truly understand the science behind the product, therefore their consistency is not on par with ours, size and taste. That is all for now and hopefully we will get to meet all of you in person that have made these comments at our grand-opening. As to the video comment about it being amateurish, It was recorded in fun with our children, If i wanted it professionally done, It would have, so no we are very professional and highly skilled at our profession and again once the restaurant is open, we are confident that these criticizing comments will be no more. Thank you for your time. Chef Thomas — Chef Day on New Restaurant Opening on Greenwich

  • Does it even matter, it is something different and outside the norm. Oh; sorry, let's keep it boring in Tribeca why don't we. You people are a piece of work. I have eaten at every restaurant in Tribeca and must say it will be a great change for once to have something that is unpredictable and welcoming. Get your head out the clouds and welcome change, this is exactly why people in the city say Tribeca is dull, boring and lack vision. (Snobs) — shemar on New Restaurant Opening on Greenwich
