I've been to the gallery. Wonderful collection. — Curtis DeBerg on New Kids on the Block: Hemingway African Gallery & Safaris

I would add that the staff at Tribeca Plate is very friendly and it is a good spot to pick something up to eat while siting in the park. — JS Miller on In Praise of Bogardus Plaza

Actually down to Barclay, which makes even more sense, shape-wise. — mulciber on Vornado has converted two buildings on Lispenard

I'm going to correct myself, and apologize to TC. Per Wikipedia: "The name "Tribeca" was coined in the early 1970s and originally applied to the narrower area bounded by Broadway and Canal, Lispenard, and Church Streets, which appears to be a triangle on city planning maps." The paragraph goes on to say that shortly thereafter the city administration established the boundaries I cited (down to Warren, not Chambers). The source may be apocryphal, but TC was right! — mulciber on Vornado has converted two buildings on Lispenard

Respectfully, my understanding of TRIangle BElow CAnal, since moving here in 1977, is the shape defined by West, Canal, Chambers, and Broadway. I could be wrong, of course, but that is what we all understood in those days. — mulciber on Vornado has converted two buildings on Lispenard

From the State Comptroller: The net number of restaurants and bars in the city increased by more than 7,000 from 2009 to 2019 to reach 23,650 establishments. — Tribeca Citizen on In the News: Among the 100 best restaurants…

Show the top part of the email shows how Bogardus Park is lovely and relaxing. Scroll down even farther where it says man slashed in the face in Bogardus park. That certainly burying the lead. — Downtown NYC on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

Cd I guess we don't live in a free country anymore. Really, with your comment. People like you who are destroying this country. We live in a free country; all have our own opinions. Thats why its America. — Native NYer on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

Thank you, Lisa!! It's a criminals New York now. Citizens are victimized over and over again until the criminal either punches, stabs or throws the person on the train tracks or even kills someone. You commit a crime or shoplift you need to pay the price, and that jail. Sorry. Even the migrants are out of control commiting crimes all over this city. They come in and we take care of them with housing, medical etc and they rob and assault. I am not saying every single person but a large percentage of them. Its very sad. — NY Native on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

Agree on Forgione. He can cook and food is excellent. I do find the noise to be loud, bouncing off brick. Hopefully Forge will have some sound mitigation in newly designed space. I would strongly advocate for Chambers. Excellent food and beverage. Pete’s 100 best are like any list - subjective. He’s only done 7 reviews this year in 5 months, and 30 last year so how he chooses 100 best is beyond me. — SGO964 on In the News: Among the 100 best restaurants…

In the late 1970 the crime rate for the First were very low because there were very few people living in the precinct. I was one of them. Deserted streets at night. Workers during the day. Not much to steal. The figures are unrealistically low for that time period in NYC. I’m so tired of the whiners! I’ve been here for 45 years and find crime has not ever been a huge issue around here. — Don on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

Love that the Daily Harvest offices are in Tribeca !!! Great clean delicious company ! — Deborah on In Praise of Bogardus Plaza

restaurants: i wonder what Pete Wells has against Raoul's? — Madeline Lanciani on In the News: Among the 100 best restaurants…

We actually sell that sandwich at the cafe right now. You can order it online at Evaskitchennyc.com. (Eva is the wishbone chef) — Josh on Made in Tribeca: Wishbone Farms NYC

Affordable, racially diverse gathering … harkening back to a time when America was GREAT!! I can be found munching leftovers in the shade of the London plane trees after the hedge fund friends are done for the night 🙌🏿 — Pinky JJ on Tickets on sale this Saturday for Dinner on Duane

I agree with Cd: too bad about the trolls. In the meantime (for all the trolls) I wonder which president removed federal funding for mental health clinics which created multiple closings and kicked many patients onto the streets? That most popular Republican of all - Ronald Reagan. — SP on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

love their food! there was a chicken banh mi sandwich that was sublime in the southampton location. — Christine Sciulli on Made in Tribeca: Wishbone Farms NYC

Read my comment carefully. I was ONLY referring to the First Precinct...our neighborhood. Perhaps what you say about the entire five boroughs is true but no one can deny that crime in the First Precinct is up. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

Please...don't confuse us with facts. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

Tribeca, Thank you for this information. Do you know if there is a place to lock bikes in Atlantique? What about in OceanBay Park? The beach is hard packed enough for your nephew to mountain bike the hole way or he has special fat tires? Apologies for the questions but I had never considered NOT taking the ferry to FI and this sounds like a great idea. Thanks again. — Brian on Field Trip: Bike into Fire Island

Hi J, I am baffled that there'd be a comment assuming that anyone concerned about crime is a Trump fan - " the Trumpist idiots who fantasize that homelessness and mental illness can be cured..." There are obviously a range of opinions on the issue of crime and criminal justice and I suspect (no pun intended) that you know that...... I work in the "social services" sector - there is much more crime and recidivism than many of us realize. Many sad cases that you would not hear about...for example an elderly couple whose adult child was a long-time drug addict and homeless and had been terrorizing them and the neighborhood for years. No one should be locked up in an inhumane facility. People should be getting the mental health and rehab services they need among other things. But it is evident that some people must be in jail to 1) protect the community and 2) to ensure they receive necessary mental health and rehab. — lisa on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

Wow the NYPost trolls have finally found TC. Good luck keeping them off of here. The comment section is worthless now. — Cd on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

No, not everyone knows that. Bail reform does not allow for suspects of violent crimes to be released without bail, it is only for so-called non-qualifying offenses (like shoplifting). It has also been significantly weakened over the years due to the proliferation of scare mongering. The NYPD has an entire propaganda department to sell us lies about bail reform, and our media eats it up because they report what the cops say as gospel, as if they don't have their own agenda that a proper journalist should interrogate and question. Opponents of bail reform also never talk about the massive benefits of reform, both in the macro and the micro. Keeping people accused of minor crimes out of jail so they can continue their lives (and their jobs!) is a net benefit to all. It's also important to note that these are just people who are accused of something, not convicted. We need to stop using the justice system to destroy peoples' lives. It's not difficult to support bail reform and safe streets because they are not mutually exclusive. It just takes the ability to look past agenda-driven narratives and the actuality of the situation, and an attempt to balance costs and benefits. — malcolm on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

"– The NYPD has the largest budget of any police department in the United States, over $10.8 billion!" Well, we might expect it to be the largest in the USA, since NYC is the largest city in the USA (over double the population of the next largest, L.A.). "– The NYPD is the seventh biggest army in the world." Apparently Mayor Bloomberg made this claim at one point, but it seems to be hyperbole. "The 7th largest army globally would actually be Vietnam with 321,000 soldiers, compared to 33,000 or so in the NYPD." https://www.villagevoice.com/bloomberg-claims-nypd-7th-biggest-army-in-world-um-thats-totally-wrong/ "– NYPD officers are some of the highest-paid cops in the country." I don't know what to make of that, but NYC cost of living is among the highest in the country, so maybe that's the rationale. — Marcus on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza

In the late 1970s, NYC had about 4x the rate of violent crime as compared to now. For example, last year the city had 391 murders. In 1979, we had 2,092. Check out the data below: https://www.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/downloads/pdf/analysis_and_planning/historical-crime-data/seven-major-felony-offenses-2000-2023.pdf https://www.disastercenter.com/crime/nycrime.htm Ps. This will be upsetting to some, I'm sure, but the best mayor for crime rates in the last 60 or so years? Super-liberal Bill deBlasio. :) — J on Man slashed at Bogardus Plaza
