Thank you. So which of these will actually crack down on crime and improve quality of life in the city? — Marcus on Early voting has begun
The insanely high rents don't help. — ReaderOnDuane on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
Good to see this back in print. Secondari was a fine mid-20th Century author who wrote novels with entertainment value was balanced with a solid literary foundation. Could be great for romance readers looking for something a little different than the usual rom-com offerings. — MIles on Books of Tribeca: Coins in the Fountain
What makes you think it's the landlords keeping the stores vacant? Would-be tenants are often dissuaded by other factors. For example, opening a new restaurant requires navigating a swamp of draconian regulatory agencies, like Department of Buildings, FDNY, Department of Health, State Liquor Authority, etc. Code enforcement has gotten ever more arbitrary. — James Bogardus on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
We have plenty of empty storefronts in Tribeca, but it's almost impossible for a place like Nish Nush to afford the rent in any of them. Who are these landlords waiting for? (Yes, I know. Another Chipolte or Blank Street.) — J on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
Oh good, more "luxury lofts". Is the mayor demanding a quotient of "affordable" apartments at the site? — George Bacon on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
I'll miss Nish Nush. Even sadder that we're only getting a 8 story building in its place. Within a block or two we have multiple 15 story buildings---no reason we couldn't have more apartments in this footprint. — Larry Greenfield on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
There aren’t many literary characters with my name … I might read it for that reason alone! Plus I’ve been enjoying a lot of early-to-mid-2th century novels with omniscient narrators as an alternative to the popular contemporary approach told from multiple POVs. — Priscilla McGeehon on Books of Tribeca: Coins in the Fountain
I have a child in a different neighborhood preschool. This incident is definitely a hot topic. Consensus seems to be that the school's defensive statements about this were almost as off-putting as the incident itself. — c2 on Update: Washington Market School has reopened
I agree! This was my neighborhood vegan go-to. — Tribecamom on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
Heartbreaking, one of the best and most affordable spots in the neighborhood and a great place to eat with the windows open in the later afternoon. There are no other casual mediterranean spots like this nearby. — sal on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
So sad! Sooooo sad. — Marmar on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
Such a shame a school this expensive couldn’t adequately supervise a child. — Henry on Update: Washington Market School has reopened
With first hand knowledge of the incident, I can say confidently that this was a situation of gross negligence in the part of the teachers and security guard. I won’t speak to the administrators comments, because I feel that shifts the focus from the matter at hand. There was a man on the sidewalk who saw him and brought him to the KinderCare. He was adamant that this was the safest place for the child, by virtue of being a childcare center. Thank god he was there and was able to help and think quick. And kudos to whoever took him in, because most places would say oh this is not one of mine. At the end of the day, the child was safe and unharmed and that’s really the most important part of the story. — TribecaMami on Washington Market School’s Hudson Street campus is temporarily closed
I love Larry! He framed all of my work for my art shows with such care and we had such a great time working together. I'll miss working with him so much! But congratulations on retirement, Larry!!! Wishing you and Gabby the best. — Lauren on L&O Frame will close in July
Tribeca has the poorest community planning board in the US. There isn’t infrastructure any longer. The Nish Nush closure is a metaphor for the blow out happening in Tribeca. It seems the politboro has spoken. — FrittuMistu on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
What he notes as unsafe streets -- waiting on a bus and climate change -- are worries for .0000001% of the population. How about drug-addled homeless screaming at strollers? Shoplifters helping themselves to whatever they would like at Target? People actively shooting up in Duane Park? Aggressive, illegal vendors on Canal Street clogging the entrance to the R/W train? Scammers in Battery Park directing tourists to busses that will somehow get them to the Statue of Liberty? All things I have seen in the last week. We need someone who truly cares to get something done. The continued coddling of this behavior is the downfall of NYC. At least we have the Knicks . . . — Downtown Dad Reborn on The Candidates 2026: Ryder Kessler for Assembly District 66
Tribeca has become a waste land of relatively affordable restaurants. It’s a joke. — MH on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
This is sad news. So few vegan and vegetarian places in lower Manhattan. I hope they find a new location nearby. — Marcus on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building
I don't mind their food. It's fine. But getting a reservation sucks. — J on Restaurant from Carbone folks coming in early 2027 to Tribeca Grill
Ben Yee is the absolute worst of all the candidates with the robocalls and also ignores requests to stop calling and texting. Sick of the nonstop calls, texts, and showing up to ring intercoms over the past month. I will not vote for anyone who thinks this is OK. — A NYC on The Candidates 2026: Ben Yee for Assembly District 66
hope they have some reasonably priced items — tribecan on Restaurant from Carbone folks coming in early 2027 to Tribeca Grill
I don’t know if it’s another steakhouse that the neighborhood needs. — Cd on Restaurant from Carbone folks coming in early 2027 to Tribeca Grill
Preach. The neighborhood will be better with a top tier operator in there. Excited for the improvement on a classic — P on Restaurant from Carbone folks coming in early 2027 to Tribeca Grill
Was it cancelled last night? i went out around 9pm and the screen was blank and there were no people outside — Brian on Knicks screening tonight in Rockefeller Park
