Build new twin towers replace from lost on 911 — Tom Reilly on Getting a look at the future 5 World Trade Center

TC, Fantastic editorial that I'm just seeing now. We have been dining at Gigino for over 25 years and love it. I have treated all my family to it's Italian delights so many times. The food is amazing just like the staff. (I love the staff video,Bob & Patti). We are actually dining today for lunch/Pranzo with10 of our family from all over NYC. We are all looking forward to todays visit. I remember having such fun outside always at Gigino at Wagner Pk and we do miss that.Thankfully we have Greenwich St. We will be sure to celebrate 30 years in August at Gigino before we head to Calabria. XO Grazie mille a tutti — Dennis Galante on Spotlight: Gigino Trattoria

Super weak reporting. As the other comments have suggested very little of this article is accurate. — Edward on Getting a look at the future 5 World Trade Center

There have been updates 2 WTC renderings from Foster, check this out: https://www.dezeen.com/2022/02/16/two-world-trade-center-leaked-images-foster-partners/ — Jonathan on Getting a look at the future 5 World Trade Center

I looooooove this salsa. It’s the kind that has the perfect heat and you can’t stop eating it! I usually buy three jars at a time! — Tropjeune on Made in Fidi: 212 Salsa

This is slightly incorrect. BIG is no longer the design architect of 2 WTC, and it seems Foster is back onboard, although updated renderings have not been released. Doesn't seem like there will be any progress anytime soon, which is a shame. The site feels really incomplete with just the foundations and beams sticking out of the ground. The beer garden and art can only help so much. — malcolm on Getting a look at the future 5 World Trade Center

5 WTC is 30% affordable, not 25%. That was changed last year. I highly recommend watching the first ~10 minutes of ESD's May 2023 board meeting where they explain in detail the enormous subsidies that would be required to attain higher levels of affordability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftoQpaBxnI4 And 2 WTC is reportedly back to a design by Foster, not the BIG design. https://newyorkyimby.com/2022/02/new-renderings-reveal-updated-design-for-norman-fosters-two-world-trade-center-in-financial-district.html — person on Getting a look at the future 5 World Trade Center

Hi, we are currently not at farmers markets, just the retail stores listed above for now. — Jon Parrish on Made in Fidi: 212 Salsa

"Ritual’s oral microbiome platform helps you prevent, predict, and treat diseases while revealing the connections between oral health and the rest of the body." "Our proprietary AI technology assists clinicians in diagnostic accuracy and early disease detection." I thought this all sounded super duper awesome, but when I ran it by ChatGPT, she said she would be concerned that a dentist using these terms might be "selling, promoting, or generally being a proponent of some valueless or fraudulent cure, remedy, or solution, possibly without even knowing it." So now I'm just super duper confused. Cool chairs though. — Talg on Dentist coming to Greenwich and Duane

My only real memory of going to Belle Reve was during the middle-part of the pandemic, when safety protocols dictated showing one's vaccination card and ID for entry. I did both, only to have the dude at the door emphatically assert that I was not the person pictured on my driver's license (he was wrong, I was). This did not endear me to the place. Also, everyone stay calm -- there are still plenty of great bars in TriBeCa. Everyone's going to be fine. — Alex in NYC on Belle Reve will close at the end of this month

What’s the point of licensing bikes? There are already laws that govern their operation, just that NYPD refuses to enforce. But if you do get caught running a light on a bike, you still get a ticket, license or not. Let’s create more bureaucracy? And it’s not like licensees stop drivers from killing hundreds of cyclists and pedestrians every year in this city. Dumb idea. — Cda on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

Exterminator Chili was the best resident of that space! Residential, Commercial or Industrial strength offerings every day. Pre-dates Burrito Bar ... That said, love Belle Reve too and will miss it! — 3DecadeTribecaResident on Belle Reve will close at the end of this month

I thought Cindy Sherman’s studio was on Greenwhich and Vandam. Not sure where I saw that. — Cd on Seen & Heard: Community meeting for the proposed IPN tower

Totally agree — Tribeca Dental Design is great! — SW on Dentist coming to Greenwich and Duane

Sad! — DBoiRBR on Belle Reve will close at the end of this month

As I understand it, the income threshold for "affordable" is based on the median income of the neighborhood so in Tribeca, that threshold would be relatively high. Also, I believe developers are now required to dedicate a certain portion of the units to affordable housing. I'm sure there are others here who can clarify if I'm wrong. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Seen & Heard: Community meeting for the proposed IPN tower

I am curious what kind of rent they were paying monthly. So many businesses left Chambers. Sad — Steven on Blue Spoon Coffee on Chambers will close tomorrow

Jesus. We found the person who works at the developer. When they give you talking points you shouldn't just copy and paste. — Tribecan on Seen & Heard: Community meeting for the proposed IPN tower

Very cool. Looking forward to trying it! — BPCdad on Made in Fidi: 212 Salsa

Too much affordable housing means cheap construction and poor maintenance in a part of the neighborhood that is already notably beat up compared to its surroundings. The best result for the community would be a profitable, respected development that has the financial success to treat its surroundings with respect (and residents with the means/desire to facilitate that) instead of letting it degrade with endless litter, destroyed planters, rats, and the homeless. They should also contribute to service expansion, Washington Market, PS 234, etc. given the size and expected number of residents. The last thing this neighborhood needs is another tower that just winds up blighted like the rest of IPN because it was force fed affordable housing to the point where it can't pay for its own existence. The renderings that have come out of the revitalized Greenwich Street streetscape look fantastic. This project can be a huge win for the area if the community is realistic. https://mnlandscape.com/projects/greenwich_street_revisioning — person on Seen & Heard: Community meeting for the proposed IPN tower
