Robert is correct. The boarded fence around the construction at that corner eliminates the line of sight at the intersection. Very dangerous. This should be addressed. — Craig on Bike rider in critical condition after early morning collision
Bagel stores are the new nail salons. Multiple shops selling the same product - why? — S on Apollo Bagels is getting closer…
This is what did not make sense to me! — Tribeca Citizen on Massive underground spa and meditation space coming to Broadway and White
The corner at that construction site is a nightmare! Now this poor girl is injured. There is no visibility going north or east. I blame the developers. Shame on the city for not requiring a better crossing there. — Robert on Bike rider in critical condition after early morning collision
Hi Pam, a conversion of “1840s MTA tunnel” — how can that be accurate when 1st subway opened in 1904?! — Duane denizen on Massive underground spa and meditation space coming to Broadway and White
Frankly was one of those rare shops, thoughtfully curated, full of bottles you wouldn’t stumble on elsewhere, with friendly service and prices that didn’t punish curiosity. A real loss for the neighborhood. — FiDiGuy on It looks like Frankly Wines has closed permanently
Frankly Wines was a wonderful store and an asset to our neighborhood. I'm glad Liz and Della's is still here and I wish her much success! — Merle Temkin on It looks like Frankly Wines has closed permanently
I took a pop-up pilates class in this space in March. It's really serene, calm, and has great energy. Can't wait to see what Moonrise has to offer! — HB on Massive underground spa and meditation space coming to Broadway and White
I wish the new pizza places well. I hope they succeed on general principle. But I think we all realize that the steady closures of proper dining venues in our area and citywide, with the concomitant rise in the number of places that sell cheap, roughly-made, carbohydrate stomach-fillers is not a good sign for our society, right? I mean, I like pizza as much as the next American, but if you're keeping score, the per capita proliferation of such places is a distinctly negative trend. Most families can't afford to go out to dinner much right now. The fix, while convenient for busy working people, isn't to provide cheap, bottom-line sustenance. — mulciber on First Impressions: Marinara Pizza
jm: I see dogs daily in the morning, typically between 7:30 and 9:00am, on weekdays. There are people who throw balls for their dogs to catch, people who just let their dogs run loose as if it were a dog park, people who take pictures of their dogs running, people who leash them to the poles while the humans exercise, and so on. I'm not against dogs – and find this whole polarized conversation quite confusing: The perimeter of the field is clearly marked with signs that state that dogs are not allowed on the turf. I I'm not sure why this is such a hard concept for people to grasp. Especially given the plethora of dog runs and places to walk one's dog downtown. — Duane Street on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?
Jails plan is so foolish and yet it goes on. There won't be enough spaces to hold all the inmates, so they'll end up having to keep Rikers open after all. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Spring block party at Bogardus
This concept still seems completely backwards to me. I'd vote for European (and probably rest of world) style cafe seating. Widen the sidewalks, put the tables and chairs directly against the restaurant building wall. Benefits: - puts table service right next to the restaurant - servers and customers don't have to cross the pedestrian area - so it does not conflict with pedestrians - does not interfere with street cleaning - does not require any structures at all (which are expensive, invite critters to live underneath, have to be stored in off-season, become magnets for graffiti vandalism, etc.) - no wacky electrical wires dangling over the pedestrian areas (how is this code?) to run lighting or fans or heating etc. in the seating area - tables and chairs can be moved inside when the place closes etc. — Marcus on An update on outdoor dining

Location, staff, and vibe, A+++++... Pizza, my opinion super boring and generic. Not NYC enough for my taste. I wish them luck though. I can't even image the $$$ invested there. — A Tribeca Parent on First Impressions: Marinara Pizza
The LPC approved the plans. I love it! https://www.newyorkyimby.com/2026/04/lpc-approves-renovation-expansion-of-385-greenwich-street-in-tribeca-manhattan.html — Reademan on Rooftop addition proposed for historic building at Greenwich and N. Moore
Yes Nomad is very tasty and Samar is charming, I am a fan .Tika Marsala sandwich with shrimp as the protein is my favorite. — dianne talan on New Kid on the Block: Nomad Sandwiches
Less parking. More traffic, congestion. MORE RATS MICE PIGEONS — Alessandra on An update on outdoor dining
A 300-seat diner? That’s more than Katz’s space. Seems ambitious. — DH on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers
This coffee was so good. I used it as a pick me up before my daughter's softball game and it kept me warm the whole time. I got just a regular latte and a cookie and when I order the staff were so nice, it made the whole shop have a different feeling. — ava on New Kid on the Block: Toby’s Estate Coffee Roasters
Pizza was good but a block away and it was delivered cold so agree it had to have been sitting there for a while. — TribecaMom on First Impressions: Marinara Pizza
What is happening with this space? Anyone have any updated info? I see they are trying to run on the Tribeca Tavern name still hoping to rent this space. The owner isn’t very responsive. — Alex on Action at the old Tribeca Tavern
I suspect if you're hoping for a charming neighborhood diner, like Gee Whiz, you're going to be disappointed. I'd love to be wrong. — Thomas Hagen on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers
I welcome another diner option (so missing Tribeca's Kitchen and Gee Whiz) but the outdoor seating is a hilarious dream. I walk around that corner almost every day and if there's more a slight breeze it's a mini dust devil haven. And unless they regrade it, the slope of the ground will make it uncomfortable to sit there without customizable chair legs. And isn't that where the restaurant garbage will go each night before pickup? — N on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers
That's an awfully big footprint for a diner. — Manhattanmommie on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers
