re Carbone 181 Thompson Street Are You aware that they refuse to post bh law their health department grade of B - furthermore the most absurd prices eg $95 Veal Marsala - way overrated - there are so many superior restaurants at reasonable prices. — Gerry Post on Seen & Heard: Recycling event on Greenwich & Duane

Not sure why anyone is excited about this - neighborhood residents won’t get a table and wouldn’t want one.I live down the street from Carbones - it is an overpriced overhyped influencer. restaurant. Support true local restaurants and bars. — Enal Relsah on Restaurant from Carbone folks coming in early 2027 to Tribeca Grill

They started as Torrisi Italian Specialties in Little Italy and the founders are from Queens and NJ. How is that not authentic to NYC? Yes they have become very successful such that they now have a restaurant in Vegas - good for them! They are taking over a beloved and immense space that has been empty for over a year. I say welcome and good luck! And yes please bring back burger & Burgundy night! — B on Restaurant from Carbone folks coming in early 2027 to Tribeca Grill

This is fantastic! Cannot wait. Torrisi and Carbone crew know how to do it right. Best steak in city is at Carbone…and next, Tribeca. — Patrick on Restaurant from Carbone folks coming in early 2027 to Tribeca Grill

This may well be the end. There may be nothing less authentic to NYC than Carbone and its restaurant brethren. Like dining in Las Vegas. How sad. — Josh Bank on Restaurant from Carbone folks coming in early 2027 to Tribeca Grill

Still waiting. I work across the street and would love to try their fare. — Jack on Modern Bread & Bagel coming (hopefully) in December

Theseus is the reason that Manhattan youth thrived. He is terrifically suited for the role and would hire back Manhattan Youth staff that are effective. — Marvin on Manhattan Youth loses contracts at 12 middle school afterschool programs

There was a time 10+ years ago where the NYPD seemed permanently posted up on Canal and Greenwich Street, hiding and waiting to come out with tickets when drivers blocked the box. I loved it haha. Now there is rarely even a cop car near the tunnel entrance. — Elizabeth on Car careens down Hubert sidewalk, ending in wild crash

Absolutely! Excited to be voting for him in a couple of week. — harryh on The Candidates 2026: Ryder Kessler for Assembly District 66

Not even a competition when compared to the other candidates. Clearly the most competent and qualified. — James Boudan on The Candidates 2026: Ryder Kessler for Assembly District 66

Why is there no enforcement and ticketing? The city needs money. They could make a fortune ticketing all these obnoxious drivers. Enforce the rules against red-light running, speeding, blocking the box, and of course, gratuitous pointless horn honking, modified engines, and disguised plates. — Marcus on Car careens down Hubert sidewalk, ending in wild crash

The cost of Congestion Pricing should be raised and that would keep some of these terrible NJ drivers at home. I have had many of those same experiences, especially closer to Canal. — Cd on Car careens down Hubert sidewalk, ending in wild crash

Last week I walked from Canal to Harrison with my 6 year old: we were almost run over SIX times: three cars at the corner of Washington and Canal that blatantly ran a red light as we were mid-cross (one of them having the nerve to wave at us as we were forced to wait in the middle of traffic). At Vestry, an older driver rolled right through a stop sign toward us, causing me to yell - she finally lifted her eyes from the phone she was texting on and then trying to carry on through us. And finally a driver who turned on a red and had the nerve to curse at me, swinging around the corner inches from the curb. All had NJ plates are were clearly gunning for the tunnel at rush hour. I lived in Tribeca for 30 years and often watched the long line of cars snake down Hudson on a Friday afternoon, but they're getting more aggressive and scary, especially since so many of the them are XL SUVs now. — Elizabeth on Car careens down Hubert sidewalk, ending in wild crash

The blockade is because there is a huge street defect right at collister and hubert- This has been there forever, cobblestone loose, huge hole in the street and they will not fix it. What is worse is that the cars that do still take hubert divert to collister, an even smaller and more residential street with small sidewalks, children and people walking their dogs around. This guy deserves more than a slap on the wrist- I saw it and it was a disaster and a miracle that no one got hurt — EL on Car careens down Hubert sidewalk, ending in wild crash

From an earlier posting on TC: They have been in court since last November for many month’s back rent; in April the judge granted the landlord the termination of the lease and last week Madeline received an eviction notice. She has until June 30 to fully vacate. The landlord is also suing her personally in a civil suit — with luck, she said, her lawyer will get them to drop that since a successful case there would bankrupt her. The GoFundMe would likely cover any outstanding legal fees owed to her attorney as well as any legal fees needed to represent her personally in a civil suit. Considering how much she's spent on generously handing out bakery treats to hundreds of kids on Halloween (not to mention her other delicious donations to the community over the decades - like Dinner on Duane), this would be an opportunity to show her some support. — Franklin Foodie on Seen & Heard: A GoFundMe for Duane Park Patisserie

Gone! Just like WC tix :-( — Chris on The city opens the Municipal Building cupola to the public

“ Streets that are unsafe.“ He has been working on homelessness, and clearly has been an utter failure in doing so. This is not what the city needs. The city needs someone to come in and remove all the crazy people from the streets, not spend billions of dollars on fake housing programs that don’t solve the underlying problem. — Matt on The Candidates 2026: Ryder Kessler for Assembly District 66

What a special person and what a special spot you have created. We are lucky to have had you for these many years. I don't imagine your spirit, creativity and energy will allow you to stop creating pastries and love. Let us know when you next are open for friends and customers! x barrie — Barrie Mandel on Duane Park Patisserie will close on June 14

What kind of legal issues did Duane Park Patisserie have when trying to stay open? — KJ on Seen & Heard: A GoFundMe for Duane Park Patisserie

We are so crushed by this news. Madeleine and her Duane Park Patisserie are a Tribeca Treasure. This is so sad for her business, her staff and for our neighborhood. Madeleine has been kind, generous and a great friend since we moved to Tribeca. Side note, the increasing race for higher paying tenants has resulting in a storefront vacancy rate in Lower Manhattan of 20% (compared to the city wide vacancy rate of about 14%). Who wants to walk past all these empty store fronts? And who knows how long this location will sit empty? — Christine Hall on Duane Park Patisserie will close on June 14

the landlord stopped accepting rent as of nov 1 2025. we have offered to pay the rent due, but they have refused. it's unfair of you to judge if you do not know the entirer circumstances — madeline c lanciani on Duane Park Patisserie will close on June 14

speed bumps on Hubert and Laight would do wonders. — KCM on Car careens down Hubert sidewalk, ending in wild crash

Shameful. Jail time? Losing his license at least? Doubtful. Probably no penalty at all. — Marcus on Car careens down Hubert sidewalk, ending in wild crash

This is truly such sad news, such an incredibly wonderful place in our neighborhood. Fod years as my mom was not well the prune danish kept her going and a friend who lived in Ann Arbor and then in Baltimore lived for my package of chocolate covered macaroons every year around Passover, Ajd of course the lemon tarts have been the centerpiece of our dinner parties for so many years. We will miss this beautiful special spot and wish Madeleine all the best of luck. — Michelle on Duane Park Patisserie will close on June 14

I witness so many drivers illegally turning west (!) on Jay st trying to get out of Hudson st traffic. So incredibly dangerous. It's only a matter of time before something awful happens. — Hudson st on Car careens down Hubert sidewalk, ending in wild crash
