These photographs are amazing. They vividly illustrate how temporary our surroundings really are. And, they remind me of two things; to take photographs of things are are not always conventionally beautiful, and to resist the urge to clean house. Thank you to those who have recorded the moment, kept it, and have shared with us now. — Andrea on A Scrapbook of Old Tribeca

teddy's, classic..... — pete on A Scrapbook of Old Tribeca

All of the fence pics are so pretty! There is beauty all around us all the time, if you just take a moment to look. — Dianna on After the Storm

I will be LIVE tweeting at the CB1 meeting. I just hope no one has a problem with me playing with my "Twitter" during a public meeting. Fingers-crossed. — Jim Smithers on The Proposed Hudson River Park Tax: A Response

I don't think it is fair to ask tribeca owners or tenants to contribute to the park. Given its public property it is better to lobby the city council to allocate funds to it and at the same time improve defenses against potential future storms. Sandy affected all New Yorkers not just west side residents and there should be congressional funding for recovery and preventive efforts. This can be used in conjunction with improving the park. — Gong on The Proposed Hudson River Park Tax: A Response

I think the problem is not the black façade, but that the space is so large. You have to do a ton of business to pay the rent. Compounding that, Trattoria Cinque was fairly inexpensive, so the average check was fairly by Tribeca standards. The space needs to be split into two restaurants, unless that Marc Forgione steakhouse is a real blockbuster. — Marc Shepherd on Trattoria Cinque Has Indeed Closed

@Jim: You should see it erect. — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Would you mind blurring and/or pixelating Howard's "private property?" It's a tad discomforting. — Jim Smithers on Where in Tribeca…?

The name "Gina" appears at least eight times on the Gina La Fornarina menu (as in "Cappuccino Gina" and "Mixed Green Gina"). — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Proposed Spring Studios Stipulations

Howard looks like he's guarding the place!! "Stop... Or I'll shoot...." :) hahhhaa! — Rohin on Where in Tribeca…?

North Moore, ramp to back entrance of Issey Miyake. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca…?

@Rosalie: Afraid not. — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Vestry btw Hudson & Greenwich? — Rosalie on Where in Tribeca…?

Hates skateboards; loves loitering. — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

AWWWWW! Howard looks like he doesn't like trespassing. — KP on Where in Tribeca…?

Thanks, Erik! Just bought the last ticket to the tour. I've been inside many times - but never studied it, thinking it would always be there. — Anna on In the News: Woolworth Building Lobby Tours

I have observed these smoke emissions many times and I refuse to believe that they are legal. The air on that part of Thomas becomes unbreathable and thick with soot, and the noise is defeaning. It is a disgrace that they are allowed to continue like this. — J Allen on Seen & Heard: No Hotel at 443 Greenwich

Watts and Greenwich St where fancy Zinc building is now looking towards Canal St — Anna on cant imagine car tires today

My kids learned to ride their bikes in those lots! — Anna on Looking from Hudson to Collister

Ahh...The lovely smells that used to come from there especially on Pernil Day! — Anna on Unknown11

22 Desbrosses...former home to the Tsuji's....a real loft! — Anna on Unknown8

For over a decade, the community has been fighting the management of 60 Hudson Street over those plumes of acrid smoke. They come from scores of diesel generators stuffed into the building. Thanks for documenting this. Keep up the good work. — Bruce Ehrmann on Seen & Heard: No Hotel at 443 Greenwich

Hmmm....interesting....Why has Brendan gone so, sooooo silent? Doesn't Novogratz have anything to put forward other than a lot of parky-park b.s.? — Buzz on The Proposed Hudson River Park Tax: A Response

I've never eaten at a Denny's, so I don't know quite how to react to that, but I really hope it's not another 7-11. I've mentioned this before, but in Japan, where I spend a fair bit of time, 7-11 is really very lovely and full of decent to good stuff, including well-prepared fast foods, all on a higher level than your average NYC steam table deli. Also, the personnel are trained to be especially kindly and efficient. I realize that the J version is essentially a different species of 7-11, but the ones that have popped up around our neighborhood are pure crap and depressing, and there are already way too many of them. Another one? — David G. Imber on In the News: Denny’s or 7-Eleven?

Erik, maybe we ARE the same person. I recognized it as i-Plaza too. I guess the NY Post doesn't realize you don't get the disposable paper slippers at "fancy" spa salons. I have spotted Demi Moore pedicuring at Yuya on Greenwich St. I suppose the celebs don't have an assistant to make advance reservations at the good places. — StrollerlessTribecaHottie on In the News: Denny’s or 7-Eleven?
