Let there be light!!!! Power just went on at West Broadway & Warren Street. Thoughts & Prayers focused on Staten Island, The Rockaways and Jersey Shore. Erik your blog has been such a vital resource thank you so much. — Jonathan on Anyone Have Power Yet?

Thanks Erik!!! That was very much appreciated..... — Michael on In the News: Status Report on Zone A Buildings

i am in for donating to Erik's tee-shirt for the amazing job he did to keep us evacuated peeps at hotels informed! I am in the IPN Bldgs. So Tks — cami on Anyone Have Power Yet?

Jim Smithers was last seen trying to keep warm by bathing in his own urine...despite this being prior to him losing power. Thank heavens the battery park shake shack was more heavily fortified than the 14th street substation! And thank god that TriBeCa parents used this disaster to teach their children what is truly important - that rescheduling Halloween and its redistribution of candy wealth throughout the neighbor was far more important than the lives that were lost or the people in the outer boroughs that are still really suffering. Thanks to all of the local businesses that stayed open to help the neighborhood remain in good "spirits." Dear Lord, please restore the power soon so I can stop having to be so uncharacteristically generous, neighborly and chatty. Which bars are still open?! — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Free Waffles Today

Can anyone who lives in the area tell me if there was flooding on Greenwich and Murray (near the Bank of America on the corner where Whole Foods is)? My job is there and I haven't heard anything from the company at all. — Chris on Sandy: What’s Open Thursday

Any news on Barclay Street? Power yet? — MB on Anyone Have Power Yet?

Great! Now, Tribeca citizens can trully work on improving their lifestyle with the amazing DeRose Method! A "must try"! You won't regret it! Highly recommended! — Carlos Dionísio on Self-Improvement on Murray Street

@Michael: I'd guess the building is fine (nowhere near where the water was) but no power yet. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Status Report on Zone A Buildings

Any word on 25 N. Moore? I am heading home next week and am worried.... — Michael on In the News: Status Report on Zone A Buildings

Erik, you're a rock star. This blog/newspaper was great before, but this has gilded it. We should all chip in and buy you a Tribeca Citizen tee :) — Nichole on Anyone Have Power Yet?

FYI They have the sprinklers going in Rockefeller Park. — Judi on In the News: Status Report on Zone A Buildings

This building is 74-76 Laight Street on NE corner of Laight Street and Washington Street. I was living there at the time this was shot... and now feverishly working to bounce back from the catastrophic flooding of Hurricane Sandy. — neal marshad on Unknown5

from ConEdison (Twitter): "There is a possibility that two networks at the very tip of Manhattan (FiDi south if City Hall) will be back by today, all others still on track for Sat." — Pesky on Anyone Have Power Yet?

GEORGE'S RESTAURANT (89 Greenwich at Rector) and MASTERPIECE PIZZA (2 Rector on Greenwich) are back in business and open as of today/Friday. Phone lines are still down, but delivery from both is available through Seamlessweb.com. — Matt on Sandy: What’s Open Friday

UGH, now WNYC is saying that only the lowest part of very lower Manhattan will get power back today -- below Frankfort Street (basically, the Seaport). The rest of us have to wait until tomorrow. Sigh. — KP on Anyone Have Power Yet?

OOOOH, I just heard the same report from about power back on today on WNYC!!!! I'm hopeful, even though the Con Ed outage map is estimating Nov 3 at 11 PM. — KP on Anyone Have Power Yet?

Suzanne, I hope people post here when the power comes back on. I, too, jumped ship on Tuesday and have been staying on the UWS, so I've been obsessively checking the Con Ed outage map: http://apps.coned.com/stormcenter_external/default.html There's also a page where you can enter your cell phone number so that Con Ed can automatically call you when your power is restored. Not sure it's really going to work well, but it's worth a try: https://apps2.coned.com/csol/reportoutage.asp — KP on Share Your Sandy

Battery Park City lost power in one building at Gateway Plaza and the Ritz Carlton Hotel but otherwise has power, or so I am told. I even saw an M20 bus toddling along yesterday. The Shake Shack is open -- as are the other stores in the Alley --and November Fridays' special custard is Cranberry Almond Marzipan. A few lights are on at Stuyvesant High School. Most of the stores in the southern end of BPC are open like Picasso Pizza. — betty on Anyone Have Power Yet?

mmm this would be: "Buildings below the Brooklyn Bridge between Broadway and the East River will get their power back on Friday — but only if their electrical equipment has not been seriously damaged by flooding from Hurricane Sandy, which caused massive power outages throughout New York City, said John Miksad, Con Ed’s senior vice president of electric operations." — Pesky on Anyone Have Power Yet?

Both a good idea! — Kellee on Sandy: What’s Open Thursday

For those of us staying in relatively unaffected areas, is there anything people need that we can bring when we return? Stores around me are fully stocked and getting deliveries. — JD on Sandy’s Aftermath

@Kellee: That's very sweet of you! It's in the P.P.S. on this page: https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/what-is-tribeca-citizen/ But—and I mean this—I'd be just as happy if you donated to an organization helping folks in New Jersey. — Erik Torkells on Sandy: What’s Open Thursday
