It was reviewed and listed under a different address when presented to CB1. This address actually makes it's illegal because of its proximity to a school (CB1 highlighted this to OCM). This is part of the approvals that OCM have admitted to getting wrong (too close to a school), but unwilling to correct. — B.Thompson on A cannabis store has soft-opened in Fidi
It does look pretty. Checked out the menu, as website mentions its focus on Latin American food and drink. 3/16 on bottle list and 5/20 on wine by the glass list are from South America. Hope they can expand that as they settle in, as it would be a nice way to discover wines from this continent. — Karl on Seen & Heard: Rosa Wine Lounge opens Tuesday
When I lived in the West Village in the late '80s, the Lanciani Mandarin chocolate cake was a go-to treat for any special occasion. The Duane Park Patisserie opened shortly before my wife and I moved to Tribeca and we always thought of the bakery as one of the joys of living here. We will miss it greatly. — Adrian BB on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie
Gigino was a fabulous place for NYC residents and, of course, tourists. It presented a unique opportunity to withdraw from the usual busy streets and to think about the loss of life at the nearby World Trade Center memorial as well as to enjoy fine cuisine and marvelous views. I deeply hope that Gigino will win a spot in the revamped Wagner Park. NYC needs a beautiful restaurant in that scenic location. — B.A. Satterwhite on Gigino at Wagner will not (necessarily) return
Well, I should call it by its proper name, Duane Park Patisserie. — Bruce Ehrmann on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie
Impossible! Without Madeline and Patisserie Lanciani, what's left? What will I DO? Well, I could always go around the corner to that little shop that just sells caviar and pate. Not a very good breakfast. Or I could go across the street to Laughing Man or whatever it's called now and imagine I'm in Brentwood or the Hollywood Hills, buy a latte and fight for a seat. Well, there's always Tribeca Grill and Riverrun and HowsBayou and Yaffa's. No, there isn't. Madeline, stay open for ME. — Bruce Ehrmann on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie
You have been such a vital and integral of the neighborhood through thick and thin, from before and after 9/11 and all the other changes in the neighborhood; you have been a real constant. This is so well deserved and exciting. We wish you the very best. Xo — Iris Kimberg on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie
Madeline. Say it ain’t so! As a long time Tribeca resident I used to drive up to 4th street to get those yummy pasties. Imagine my delight when she opened on Duane Street. A go to for special events, birthday cakes, magic cup cakes, wedding gifts, ring dings (always a great gift when visiting friends), and graduation gifts. Great snacks at soccer games. Always friendly. And gave us Olivia and nick. Add in this-a Chopped winner. You will be missed. — Dwight Yellen on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie
If ICE have nothing to do maybe they could deport Anna Delvey who has all the credentials for deportation, including no documentation and a felony conviction. Probably more qualifications than a 7 year old girl. — Bob on In the News: Bad bunny story started here
So happy to see this business going strong for 4 generations! I worked there in the early–mid 90s and the family was truly wonderful to work for. — Gina on Nosy Neighbor: What’s going on at 132 West Broadway?
Any update on the opening and community board approvals? Passed by today and saw some signage up and looks like they are doing some much needed sidewalk repair. — JD on An Italian restaurant has taken the Tribeca’s Kitchen space
We love Allison and her business. We hired her for some small projects and she NAILED it. Felt like a new home in some ways when some of your most used areas get fixed up! She is great — Sean Kosofsky on Made in Tribeca: Org.nyc

Wonderful to see that James Bogardus mentioned Bartelby! — John Gallagher on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?
Thanks for remembering "Time and Again." Years ago, when I exited the now-demolished 132 Nassau Street, I had the narrator's sense of walking into the past, due to the low-rise buildings there and on Beekman Street and Park Row, the bustle of small-business commerce, and the structures of brick and stone versus glass and steel. Read this time-bending book for a sense of that era. — Gary on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?
It’d be nice if Apollo Bagels was far enough along to be ordering pots for boiling, but if you look at the truck’s cab it says, “Kitchen Exhaust Systems”. — N on Seen & Heard: Signs of progress at Apollo Bagels
Another good read. The border between safe and zombie zones is Canal Street. Good use of location. — Gary on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?
Good novel. Also might have been the disputed origin of a short-lived detective show, "New Amsterdam." When I met Pete Hamill at a book signing (in Soho), I mentioned that he had placed his protagonist's loft at the exact corner where my office is located! — Gary on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?
The Gargoyle Hunters, by John Freeman Gill (who also writes the New York Times Streetscapes column.) A novel about NYC architectural salvage in the 1970s with much action in Tribeca—the theft of an entire historic Manhattan building, and pivotal action atop the Woolworth Building. — Duane denizen on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?
