Ilya is awesome for anyone looking for a barber. Good luck at your next spot! — Randy on Ilya’s Barbershop will move to Broadway
Thank you for the update - we live across the street - and have been dreading for construction to start. The proposed building will overshadow all of the Seaport. I hope it never happens. — Billie Andersson on In the News: Traffic and ambulance response times
Carl and April, you are two of Tribeca's most precious jewels. Thank you for all you do for us and for compiling this wonderful book of memories. Congratulations! — Alice Blank on Books of Tribeca: Tribeca | Four Decades in Pictures
The best owner and crew. The best (and most crazily diverse) customers. The best vibe. The truly extraordinary food. By far the best cuban sandwich in the United States (I am from Miami). Everything so understated and so reliably excellent. Words fail. We have our memories, and we will always miss Westside Coffeeshop. — David on Westside Coffee Shop, a Tribeca stalwart, has closed
Good to know you are out and about and, as a fellow photographer, have always enjoyed your take on our nabe. We've been here since '85 and also witnessed the remarkable transformation. We are still so grateful that it became landmarked just as we arrived. — Ken Brown on Books of Tribeca: Tribeca | Four Decades in Pictures
Great project but don't think that image with sidewalk on the south is the correct plan — person on An update on the Duane Park restoration project
I just ordered this book and I can't wait to see his pictures in color and a non digital format. Documents a great piece of history, I wish I had been part of (everyone seems so much more relaxed). It's so hard to imagine what it was vs. what it has become. Congratulations (and thank you) Carl! — vale on Books of Tribeca: Tribeca | Four Decades in Pictures
Great fun parade — Jane Goldberg on Halloween takes over Washington Market Park
Good news. Will this work fix the "lawn" too? It's an embarrassing patch of dirt 80% of the time. — person on Washington Market Park paths will be replaced next spring
Howard Hughes Holding transferred ownership of the “Seaport District” to a newly created subsidiary called Seaport Entertainment Group on or about August 1st. This was just a paperwork transaction linking the Seaport with HHH property in Las Vegas of all places, we have no idea if anything is “chugging along “. — Michael Kramer on In the News: Traffic and ambulance response times
I'm hoping there is a wonderful photo of Carl and April in the book too -- because they ARE Tribeca. They will be remembered forever as the authentic memory-keepers of that period, the documentarians of our beloved turf. Thank you Carl and April. — Amy Sewell on Books of Tribeca: Tribeca | Four Decades in Pictures
We recently had the most lovely dinner at Eulalie. Tina and Chip and their incredible team are the best. We are very lucky to have this restaurant in Tribeca. — A2 on Seen & Heard: Doggy costume contest at One White
Wow. I just found out about this. What a great restaurant. I celebrated my birthday here a few years ago. I had the opportunity to work with Phet in Washington, DC. Cool guy and an awesome chef! — Bryan “BW” Walton on Khe-Yo has closed permanently
Place looks great from the window, but has been closed since 2018 when I moved into the neighborhood. — Michael S on Is Bikini Bar reopening?
A neighborhood gem, nice guy and great photographer. — JC on Books of Tribeca: Tribeca | Four Decades in Pictures

It's high time for the city to actually begin enforcing traffic laws. One way to improve traffic movement times: stop drivers from blocking the intersection boxes. — Marcus on In the News: Traffic and ambulance response times
The heavy traffic in our neighborhood is largely due to congestion from the Holland Tunnel, and the city's failure to address key bottlenecks borders on negligence. Traffic mitigation efforts are halted precisely at 7 p.m. on weekdays, regardless of ongoing traffic conditions, and no efforts are made at all on weekends, despite consistently high traffic volumes. The lack of management at the Hudson and Canal intersection, in particular, leads to blocked local lanes down Hudson and across key streets like Laight and Hubert, often delaying emergency vehicles at a crucial road crossing. Local traffic flows when mitigation efforts are in place so its so disappointing to see the city leave the area unattended after 7pm or on weekends and see local lanes go from open to all of a sudden get blocked because the city lacks dynamic traffic management. — Neighbor on In the News: Traffic and ambulance response times
They were doing some work outside today and said they will be opening next week! (They may need a little cushion room… but soon:) — Penelope on Upon the Palace will open this fall
I'm generally a YIMBY because we need housing, this is a living city, and often the NIMBY arguments are too parochial for my tastes. That said, I don't like the 250 Water situation one bit. And Howard Hughes is not a company that I particularly trust. Remember that park we were supposed to get on Pier 17? — malcolm on In the News: Traffic and ambulance response times
Your dead wrong for assuming these people will harm your little white children and that a 30 year experienced non profit doesn't know or have ability to run its business safely. it boils down to ya are racist and think ya run and own the street and you dont! this is everyones city and all ya do is steal eveerything and neighborhoods from black and brown people. maybe if ya used your wealth to actually help these people that have been historically held back and down by your ancestors there wouldnt be such a need for this kinds of services in this area..get out of your ubers stop being so scared and walk around and see the need in your area...you think the same people in cardboard box next to the school anyway is safer than same one inside of a facility next to a school which would you think would be less hazardous really! — real new yorker on City proposes another Safe Haven shelter for the Seaport
