I think there is a serious issue that the child wandered out of the park and no one noticed? The child was found by a stranger not the teacher. The article makes it seem so light but there is some more negligence here than just an oops, won’t happen again. Happy for the family that the child was reunited and unharmed. — momtribeca on Washington Market School’s Hudson Street campus is temporarily closed

Wonderful Artist!! I would like to know sculpture prices — Joseph MONTEDONICO on Art in Tribeca: Warren King at Pearl River Mart
“Because we are exceptional at what we do, this was really upsetting for our entire community." because they are great is why losing a kid was upsetting? We did the school's tour a couple of years ago when looking at pre-schools.and thought they were arrogant. Confirmed. — C2 on Washington Market School’s Hudson Street campus is temporarily closed
https://www.ibo.nyc.gov/content/publications/2023-october-education-spending-since-1990 This seems to show that spending per pupil has actually be slower than general inflation over the last 30 years and the drop in enrollment is due to not including kids in charter schools in the denominator (which still receive public funding) in other reports. What is your source for numbers? — Joe on Manhattan Youth loses contracts at 12 middle school afterschool programs
Am I the only one confused by how 308 Greenwich is north of 310 Greenwich? — PR on Tower address will be 308 Greenwich
Thanks for posting the link, the information is helpful. As with any competitive bidding situation, it’s critical that the bidders are playing on a level playing field, with published criteria, and that the selection of winning bids is based on those criteria, without improper political or other influences. That may very well have been the case here — the process and the criteria may have been made clear to the bidders in the bidding documents — and the outcomes may be consistent with those criteria. In that case, there would have been a reasonable basis for the DYCD’s decisions. I don’t know the extent to which the City is required (or permitted) to disclose publicly the details underlying each decision, but doing that would probably invite more controversy. The problem seems to be that some constituents don’t have confidence in the process or the outcomes (an all-too-common phenomenon these days). Perhaps the City can provide more information, and perhaps that would help, but in the end the affected families may need to reserve judgment until they live with the new providers for a school year. I assume there is an avenue to make complaints if they think a provider is not living up to its obligations. — SW on Manhattan Youth loses contracts at 12 middle school afterschool programs
They are absolutely DELICIOUS! A treat for kids and grown-ups. The Cherry Berry is outstanding! — Downtown mama 3 on Made in Tribeca: NoBiggie
It wasn't unsafe when someone built the home you live in. It won't be unsafe to build these new homes. — harryh on Tower address will be 308 Greenwich
Which candidates are against this mess? That’s who I will vote for. — Darla on Tower address will be 308 Greenwich
You're just spewing nonsense. "overburdened mass transit" ? The biggest problem the MTA has is that subway ridership is still down from pre-pandemic highs. "costlier shopping"? Go talk to anyone running a business in Tribeca if they would like to have more potential customers in their neighborhood. We need more housing of all kinds. This will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood once completed. Cities need to grow and change, not be locked in amber. — harryh on Tower address will be 308 Greenwich
Tribeca turning into more like Park Avenue in the 70s vibe every year... More “boutique ultra-luxury condominium with private, dedicated parking.” that will do nothing to support local active streetscape or storefront retail. — TMK on Parking garage on North Moore sells for $57 million
Where do we sign-up to volunteer for his campaign? — JC Chmiel on The Candidates 2026: Furhan Ahmad for Assembly District 66
Having dinner outdoors at Gigino’s was one of the city’s highlights. Please come back!! — Rita Magier on Nosy Neighbor: What restaurant is coming to the pavilion at Wagner Park?
You are correct that we desperately need more housing, but it needs to be affordable. The middle class is being driven out, leaving people on assistance and the wealthy. This tower is taking advantage of the loophole that is technically “affordable housing” to build bigger, but without the requirement that it be in the same neighborhood or consist of new units. It is such a massive project that it will lower the quality of life with traffic congestion, overburdened mass transit, increased CSO discharges into the Hudson, and costlier shopping. A project like this would never happen on Sutton Place, and it has survived your so-called “crucible of self-destruction” for over a century. — Hank on Tower address will be 308 Greenwich
Now that’s an authentic story that has me wanting to know more!!! — Susan D on The Candidates 2026: Furhan Ahmad for Assembly District 66
NIMBY alert! Guess what solution to the housing crisis is? More housing! Of course no one loves construction sites or having their views blocked, but this is New York City - baked into the cost of living is acceptance of it being the crucible of creative self-destruction and rebirth. We all miss El Teddy's, but things change. If you want to live in a time capsule, there's still plenty of (boring) space available in NJ! — Mr. Burns on Tower address will be 308 Greenwich
Been around for over 30 years and I NEVER heard of him/them. I heard of the passing of the daughter. The kids and parents and schools need Manhattan Youth! — Sandra on Manhattan Youth loses contracts at 12 middle school afterschool programs
Can’t believe our city would allow this in our neighborhood. Does not fit the architecture and will be ugly. Conserving old architecture and limiting height would be better. — GB on Tower address will be 308 Greenwich
I heard they’re delicious! — Little kid on Made in Tribeca: NoBiggie
All of these people were waiting on a long line for a donut! Why? — S on Seen & Heard: Dine Around Downtown is June 4
So what is the plan for this building? — Reademan on Nosy Neighbor: What’s going on at 132 West Broadway?
Proud to have represented both the seller and buyer in this transaction. A truly incredible building whose connection to old TriBeCa and its provenance lives on! — Zachary M on Action at the old Tribeca Tavern
My team just sold the building. I love old TriBeCa and the provenance of these historic buildings. — Zachary M on Nosy Neighbor: What’s going on at 132 West Broadway?
Re the service "improvements" -- I experienced them last week when I ended up taking the #1 because there wasn't a 2 or 3 coming for over 10 minutes at Chambers St mid-afternoon (no service disruption in effect). By shifting trains earlier into the morning rush or later into the evening rush, it'll improve service for commuters, but not for those that don't have that sort of schedule and generally travel off peak. — N on Seen & Heard: Church Street School annual block party
