Wow I did not know this. I’ve been in tribeca for almost 30 years and thought it was a “bodega”. Now I have to pass by and wow 24 hours. I’m glad you did this feature. — Sandra on Spotlight: Benvenuto Cafe

"It's out of a flood zone". Really? https://dcp.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=1c37d271fba14163bbb520517153d6d5 — Heide Fasnacht on In the News: Why the Tribeca Gallery District is growing

Benvenuto is the best. Love having it in the neighborhood. — Randy on Spotlight: Benvenuto Cafe

We love this place and all the staff!! Sometimes we have breakfast, lunch and dinner there. We loved that they stayed open during the pandemic and for this reason, we will always be loyal to them!! They are like family ❤️ — Claudette & Jerry Rudyk on Spotlight: Benvenuto Cafe

Chris Marte has my vote!!! — Native tribeca on Seen & Heard: Candidate challenging Chris Marte

this is great news!! — Native Tribeca on Century 21 opening “mid spring” — aka soon

We love Benvenuto!! My kids love going there late at night!! the owner and manager are wonderful people! People who work there also are great! Its always clean, food always good too!!! I am happy they stay open 24/7. They became a staple on Greenwich Street. Good people. — Native Tribeca on Spotlight: Benvenuto Cafe

It's entirely possible to let the historic buildings stand on their own as true works of history; and design a tasteful infill that stands out as being of today, while permitting Belle Reve to continue in its location. — Anon Local on Plans for the Boltex Building and Belle Reve at Walker and Church

I walked out this morning to see the mess left behind by the pavers: tar all over the intersection of Warren & West, rubble, and a general disgusting, dirty aftermath. It’s as if they fixed the path and ruined the surrounding area. I called 311, and they recorded my complaint, but they say there is a 14 day response time. I would suggest if other neighbors are also disturbed by the disrespect of the road crew for their surrounding work area, that they file a complaint. If anyone has a better idea for where to report the mess, please share it here. — Jamie on Repaving starts on the West Street bike path

I’m sure this group of investors from Rome have a clear idea of how to develop and be constructive at the same time within the culinary industry. My comprehension is that in the actual premises classes will be held on learning the cooking skills, which means, classy chefs, will perform at the service of the restaurant itself and teaching the skills of its subject. By adding all these positive aspects to the location in which the restaurant “Nerolab” will be held, will definitely create a very significant atmosphere. Good luck and best wishes to these new entrepreneurs. — Nicola Tribuzio on “Italian food zone” coming to 40 Wall

Thank you for continuing to pursue, inquire, and report on this issue. If you press the powers that be again, please ask about the other issues as well: Why not renovate rather than eliminate Rikers (which can does not preclude also renovating the Chinatown facility)? How to handle the larger inmate population we have now, that exceeds capacity of the new plan? How to handle even larger inmate population in the next crime wave? — Marcus on The latest on demolition work for the jail

Exactly. Time for the open street-level parking lots to go. That eyesore of a public toilet, garbage dump, and counterfeit bazaar on Lispenard and Broadway should be the first to go. — Marcus on Plans for the Boltex Building and Belle Reve at Walker and Church

That list of restaurants on the back of the t-shirt in the linked history brings back memories ... RiverRun, Spartina, El Teddy's, Chanterelle. I moved to Tribeca just in time for the first one. What an event. — JCW on Taste is in three weeks!

This is not a serious idea. If you look at the "new" residential towers in the Tribeca area, you will see that they are built on huge footprints of required open space. This space is not available on this lot to comply with residential code. The adaptive reuse of Tribeca lofts created pre-2010 for residential space came with substantial limitations recognizing that the normal residential codes could not be complied with here. These include minimum sizes for individual lofts: *Maximum 1 per floor in buildings with less than 2,000 square feet per floor *Minimum 2,000 square feet in larger loft buildings, with some exceptions where more windows and rear yard space is available, even if not the typical 30-feet deep yard required for residential buildings and their light and air. *The total number of loft apartments cannot be more than one per 1,000 square feet of total floor area allocated to loft apartments. — james on Plans for the Boltex Building and Belle Reve at Walker and Church

"Ask the Trainer" is going on at the same time as the Bogardus Plaza dog talent show. Tough time to get visits to the vet. — G on Seen & Heard: Basmat Levin on the Bowery

It would be sad to see Belle Rev go (or relocate), it’s one Tribeca’s best bars. As for as the design goes, it’s a wasted opportunity to build much needed housing in this area. This location is incredibly central and transit rich with close proximity to good jobs and schools. If this city were ever serious about solving its housing crisis it would permit a 1000 unit building on this site. Some people might say that’s “out of character” for the neighborhood, but it’s really not. There is a 550 foot building literally across the street. Tribeca is not a low rise neighborhood. Instead with the proposed design we will get 6 or 7 very expensive units some of which will certainly not be a primary residence. That’s fine too, every dollar of tax revenue counts, but I would rather have the neighborhood with the 1000 units, with 20% affordable and a variety of size in the remaining. So just another policy failure by this city. Aggregate all these policy failures and it’s easy to understand we are in a housing crisis. — FiDiGuy on Plans for the Boltex Building and Belle Reve at Walker and Church

Love this. We need more infill that keeps the context of the neighborhood. I’m looking at you parking lots! — OK on Plans for the Boltex Building and Belle Reve at Walker and Church

$65 for 6 bites? I’m all for these wonderful events, but starting to notice that almost all establishments are using the “inflation“ excuse to bump up prices. Going to pass this year for that reason. — New York Gal on Taste is in three weeks!

This: "to merge these two into a single cast iron project" is a terrible idea. Historic preservation means that the two portions (old and new) should be readily distinguishable. — james on Plans for the Boltex Building and Belle Reve at Walker and Church

That is not John's original townhouse. John and Sarah's is near Greenwich next to the tiny triangular building (which he and his wife did). — G on Seen & Heard: Music in the playground

Or maybe because they dropped the rendering in a totally made up scene that does not resemble the actual location in the slightest... AI aside, I think this idea is actually a great solution of how to integrate the new section with the old. I wish more developers would be willing to think creatively, instead of letting an architect come up with a horrible "contextual" modern result. True it is not 100% original or historic, but visually it will be attractive & blend in better than most other ways additions have been built in the neighborhood. And there is historical precedent- read about the Powell Building for example. https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/the-history-of-tribeca-buildings/the-history-of-105-hudson — Robert Ripps on Plans for the Boltex Building and Belle Reve at Walker and Church

I see cars packed in like sardines, so I hope NYC buildings inspectors will also investigate and monitor the weight limitations on all garages. I wonder how much overcapacity could be stressing the structural problems of garage buildings. — L on Longtime manager of garage is killed in building collapse

That's what I meant in my earlier comment, "My barometer for success: When tourists again start asking directions for C21!" Here's one now - and he won't need directions. Come and bring your friends. Hopefully, soon. — Gary on Century 21 opening “mid spring” — aka soon
