  • Agreed. — martine on Friedmans new space on Greenwich will be an Italian concept

  • Add Max's on W Broadway! I was looking forward to a good breakfast sandwich burger place. Oh well. Yes, I would have preferred a nice diner or something resembling Sarabeth's of yore. And yes, the new restaurant to come into the Sarabeth spot is owned by the BeefBar people and will be an Italian high-end restaurant, or so I've read. — martine on Friedmans new space on Greenwich will be an Italian concept

  • I was really surprised that the sidewalk on Hudson next to Duane Park had not been shoved as of Tuesday! — Janet on More images from Whiteout 2026

  • Morgan's Market are the BEST!!! — Bob Moore on More images from Whiteout 2026

  • Could be the other partners are, but the owner I met was a New Yorker. — Tribeca Citizen on Toby’s Estate opens next week

  • The scale is one of the major objections to this project. Actually, you could call it two objections about scale: - Too big (and disruptive: construction, future traffic, etc.) for the neighborhood - Too small to hold even the existing inmates. And what happens when another crime wave hits, or we get an administration that actually bothers to arrest and hold people for crimes? Other objections have been widely discussed: The cost, whether this actually addresses the problems with the existing conditions in Rikers or just shuffles the problems around, etc. — Marcus on New plans and an alternative proposal for the White Street jail

  • I got a peek and the staff explained that the owners are from Kuwait, and that the coffee is imported from Australia every week. We all hope to see something new on the menu, there are enough places to buy croissants on the block. — Whitney on Toby’s Estate opens next week

  • In related bagel news, Nala on Reade shut down (I just walked by) and Modern Bread still hasn't opened. I wonder if the PopUp line is gonna be like Meadow Lane?! — BT on Seen & Heard: PopUp Bagels will open February 6

  • Morgan's Market wins the honor of best retail community member -- not only do they keep their sidewalk and 2 curb cuts as clear as possible during storms, but also repeatedly open the curb cuts each time a plow comes by and piles up snow to block them. — Nicole Vianna on More images from Whiteout 2026

  • It's a pet! The family brings it to the park often. — Tribeca Citizen on More images from Whiteout 2026

  • I'm a bit confused by the whole thing. That approximate location has historically been the location of the city jail since 1838 give or take a block so no problem with that. I also think that Mayor De Blasio's idea to shut down Rikers and have jails distributed to the boroughs where lawyers, family members and others could visit more easily was and is a good idea. Also proximity to the courts is certainly desirable as having people on a bus for hours for a hearing is inhumane and not cost effective. What bothers me is the scale. Is such a large facility needed? Especially when the crimes that require incarceration are at or near historical lows. Something here is eluding me. It just seems wrong. — John Gallagher on New plans and an alternative proposal for the White Street jail

  • Teaneck here! — SW on Prepping for the storm

  • I heard that Alternate Plan #3 is to turn it into a ballroom. — SW on New plans and an alternative proposal for the White Street jail

  • Yes! Our firehouse on Long Island also sounded the snowday alarm -- along with a noon whistle every day that they still do! — Tribeca Citizen on Prepping for the storm

  • So funny, I took almost identical photos at WF on Saturday! The cupboards were literally bare, and there was a panicky vibe. I was looking for a couple produce items for a recipe I wanted to make and walked up to Morgan’s. Voilà — they had everything I had been looking for! Yay Morgan’s! — SW on Let the hoarding begin

  • This whole idea was poorly conceived. Ludicrous waste of time and the mess it has created is unconscionable. Nothing wrong with Rykers except it needs a lot of work. One can’t help suspecting this was some land grab scheme initiated by developers at the time. Three mayors later and a massive gaping hole in our neighborhood with more ‘ideas’ is hardly convincing. — R. on New plans and an alternative proposal for the White Street jail

  • Whole Foods is poorly stocked even when the weather is good. It is hit or miss on even the most basic items and produce if you happen to go at the wrong time. — Elizabeth on Let the hoarding begin

  • Wyckoff here -- just a bit up Route 208 from you! — N on Prepping for the storm

  • N, YES! I grew up in Fair Lawn and that's exactly how we found out about snow days! — L on Prepping for the storm

  • This is transplant behavior. Real NYers would have stayed home on Sunday (as usual) and just bought snacks maybe some liquar and enough for a dinner for 1-2 nights. If that was the case why so many people out on Sunday enjoying the snow. I blame lame media outlets for inciting fear mongering. We’ll be alright Monday afternoon. If not Tuesday everybody to work. — Sandra on Let the hoarding begin

  • So so sorry to read this. Although we lost touch and I dont get down to Walker’s much these days, our daughter Tessa went to nursery school with Sarah which began some very fun and cozy years and we would see them in the Hood and on Fire Island in the summer. Wonderful family and wonderful man. Hoping Walker’s last for many more years. Great neighborhood spot where, literally, everybody knew your name! Jerry, gone but not Forgotten!!! — Christine Boeke on Jerry Walker, co-owner of Walker’s and The Ear Inn, has died

  • This is kind of hilarious considering that everything will be fine and accessible by Monday night. — Leslie Lewis on Let the hoarding begin

  • Sounds like a scam Probably from a neighboring restaurant to bring their business down. Nyc full of crazy owners ... Or they were simply trying to Get A lawsuit to fill their pockets.. . — BreakingNews on A report of tampered drinks at Casa Carmen
