  • My husband and I truly love this restaurant, it’s our favorite in the city. Such a wonderful atmosphere, all the staff are so amazing as well. It’s a shame this greedy and shameless landlord is putting Tina and Chip through this nonsense. Hoping T and C prevail in court. — James on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • Sounds like they have a real point of difference combining pilates, strength and cardio. Let’s join together - Ham + Bacon for the win. — Thomas Ham on STRONG Pilates coming to Broadway and Leonard

  • I think it’s called due diligence and sounds like something the new owner (likely you) failed to conduct. — Cd on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • You really can't compare a global corporate restaurant chain like Beefbar with a literal "mom and pop" aka "husband and wife" restaurant like Eulalie. You are missing the point. — xtrakrispy on New Kid on the Block: Eulalie

  • Oh great! Another Pilates! Now there is a Pilates for each Starbucks, pizza parlor and kiddy day-care center. — George Bacon on STRONG Pilates coming to Broadway and Leonard

  • I think they should have just gone to City Hall. — Geroge Bacon on Staking out Taylor’s house on her big day

  • Bar 135 has it all. Great food, great people, and the best bar staff. Volume is on for all the big games and matches. Jude, the owner, makes you feel like you’ve walked into your second home. — Mike on Where to watch the World Cup

  • I knew Peter Matera well before his passing. In fact I'm the only person he ever sold a building to (he sold a couple vacant lots) before his unfortunate passing. He only did so because he could see I too cared. He knew what he was doing when he gave Eulalie the sweetheart lease he did, I know because he told me to my face. He cared far more about the neighborhood than money. As a landlord you know what you're buying into, they knew this lease was there and was legitimate, they're morons who have zero chance of winning by just harassing the restaurant and all they're doing is just giving us other decent landlords bad names. — Josh on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • You ever own a building then have to absorb liability on a 7 figure injury lawsuit because the tenant cheaped out on insurance coverage? — Daniel on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • Don't forget about Bar135 on Reade Street! — Alex on Where to watch the World Cup

  • LOL you apparently since you bothered to write that comment. — Brian Lowsky on Staking out Taylor’s house on her big day

  • Great example of “who cares!?!” — Matt on Staking out Taylor’s house on her big day

  • Hey intheknow I don’t think your comment is doing what you think it will accomplish. You’re obviously the landlord, and knowingly purchasing a building with an existing lease that you claim is more than half below market and then complaining that you’re the victim will not garner you the sympathy you crave. This is a neighborhood with people and families that care about the community, the businesses and their owners. The last thing we need in Tribeca is another landlord willing to let their commercial space sit empty for years because of greed. We all wish Chip and Tina the best of luck fighting this bogus lawsuit. — TribecaMom on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • Bubby’s was terrible thirty years ago, I can’t imagine it got better with time. — R. on Seen & Heard: The BBC, the mayor and Bubby’s

  • Presumably the new owners bought the building subject to the existing lease and had an opportunity to review it before they closed. The devil is in the details, of course, but the three claimed defaults sound pretty shaky. Unless there are additional facts supporting the landlord’s actions, it sure sounds like they are trying to bully the tenant into leaving or paying more rent. To bring a lawsuit about this stuff seems extreme. If the tenant’s insurance is not in compliance with the stated requirements in the lease, then that can be fixed. As for the storage area, the lease (or some ancillary agreement) either includes it or it doesn’t. It’s hard to tell what the issue is with the compressor. Even if the tenant didn’t strictly follow the applicable procedural requirements in the lease regarding alterations, the compressor has now been installed, right? Does the landlord want them to remove a brand new compressor? Why? Is the landlord saying that the new unit adversely affects their property or is not technically compatible with the existing electrical and venting equipment? Lots of questions, but litigation should be a last resort IMO. — SW on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • so sorry , Chip and Tina. this all sounds too familiar good luck — madeline c lanciani on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • New location for Joe and the Juice — Barry on Pret A Manger on Church has closed

  • At Op Sail 1976 we were deck hands 26 and 27 on a beautiful sloop made for 12 people. We slept anchored at the Narrows on deck and saw multitudes of handsome water craft. The worst sunburn of our lives! Have fun Everyone! — Elaine Smollin on An update on the 4th of July

  • alright Intheknow, we get it, you're the landlord. Coming onto the tribeca citizen to defend your position and air out the terms of your lease is not really the way to do it. Read the room in these comments bro. And agree with Dean - if you buy a building with an existing long term lease at below market terms, that's a decision between you and god. Trying to footfault someone into a lease termination so you can fill the lease at "market" (btw, again, read the room, lots of failing resuarants in Tribeca becuase people have massively overestimated the "value" of retail in this neighborhood) is literally why people hate landlords. — Morgan on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • How did city planning and the developer miss this question? — Anonymous on Lawsuit filed against tower for Independence Plaza

  • The Salad place on the same building also closed. — Richard on Pret A Manger on Church has closed

  • I love Bubbys! In fact, I think I'll go get some heuvos rancheros right now. — J on Seen & Heard: The BBC, the mayor and Bubby’s

  • Have you been to Eulalie? What Chip, Tina, and their team accomplish night after night is anything but easy. Very much the opposite. About the last thing they need is any more stress. Regarding the landlord who purchased the building as an investment: was their "below market rate" lease a surprise? Assuming not, then what's up? (I'll leave the answer to you.) I genuinely hope both sides can find common ground. Eulaie is one of the best restaurants in all of NYC. Would be truly sad to see it disappear. — Dean on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

  • I am disgusted he made that incredibly arrogant statement as well. He is fortunate for the tourists. — Rose on Seen & Heard: The BBC, the mayor and Bubby’s

  • Tribeca voted overwhemingly against Mamdani. Not surprising to me Ron at Bubby's hosted him. I found him to be a truly awful neighbor when I lived nearby. Dirt, smells, crowds, he didn't care about us. — Josh Bank on Seen & Heard: The BBC, the mayor and Bubby’s
