We were here first. Just stop coming, please. — Paul on Neighbors fight the cocktail lounge coming to 293 Church

That's true, it will be interesting to see. Although there are lots of young people with disposable income to feed the machines and buy craft beer in the Financial District. — malcolm on “Barcade” = bar + arcade coming to Amish space

Maybe that was it! — Tribeca Citizen on Nosy Neighbor UPDATE: Who are the Amish people delivering food on Chambers?

Just for the record, the strip club has been in Tribeca longer than most of us -- since 1987 -- and is the only business on that block that has never had a complaint sent to CB1. — Tribeca Citizen on “Barcade” = bar + arcade coming to Amish space

I am curious if a place like this can actually make it in Tribeca. It makes sense in areas like the East Village or Jersey City, but the average Tribeca resident is a bit older and out of that demographic. Maybe they're counting on the same traffic that regularly fills Treadwell Park in BPC, but this will certainly be a different offering from what the neighborhood has had in a while. — James S on “Barcade” = bar + arcade coming to Amish space

I saw them yesterday and looked for the artist's name. If it was there it is very difficult to find. I liked them a lot. The name of the artist should be posted much easier than whatever it is. I saw other artworks at the City Hall Park a few years ago, the provenance was much clearer and the artist's name was in large letters. I hope that'll be done soon. — Meg Williams on Art in Tribeca: Jaime Miranda-Bambarén at Thomas Paine Park

That was funny! :) — Rohin on New garbage rules have shopkeepers frustrated

Paving starts tonight. Lots of equipment is parked on Hudson between Reade and Duane right now if you want a close up view. — N on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening with Hudson Street?

I think you're looking for the suburbs in NJ and CT....this is NYC, not your personal backyard — B on Community Board 1 agendas for April

People from other areas, tourists, etc., drinking, having fun, and hanging out. The horror! I blame Eric Adams. — malcolm on Community Board 1 agendas for April

This new place in the old Amish sounds like a horrible addition to the hood. Lots of people from other areas, tourists, etc. All drinking and hanging out. Just when Murray St.had started to come up in the world. Very sad news for Murray St residents. — Tom on Community Board 1 agendas for April

Barcade across from a strip club? What neighborhood is this???? — TribecaPickleBall on “Barcade” = bar + arcade coming to Amish space

Yep, I've ordered from one such farm called Dutch Meadows. When they told me I was to pick up the order from the lobby of the dentist's office on Chambers, I was almost certain I got scammed. But sure enough, my order was there, and it was of excellent quality. — James S on Nosy Neighbor UPDATE: Who are the Amish people delivering food on Chambers?

Really disappointing.... it should be another market. Tribeca could use it — TribecaPickleBall on “Barcade” = bar + arcade coming to Amish space

There are several Pennsylvania-based Amish farms that sell grassfed meats, soy-free eggs, and raw cheeses to membership based individuals, so not a CSA. The refrigerated delivery van depicted is driven by a non-Amish individual. — Wayne Burkey on Nosy Neighbor UPDATE: Who are the Amish people delivering food on Chambers?

Downtown it seems we have issues that are similar to uptown- vehicles that should not be on the path that are on the path. Every time I ride along the river, there are at least two motorcycle riders speeding along, countless e-scooters, e- bikes (both regular and delivery) with absolutely no law enforcement of the rules stating that electric vehicles are not permitted on this bicycle path. This has been going on for years. When will these dangerous conditions be addressed? — K on Repaving starts on the West Street bike path

Thanks! — TheBlackSquirrel on Scenes from an arraignment

All neighborhoods have boundaries, it's just that Tribeca's southern boundary is harder to pin down. And sure, I use Battery Park City parks, but as someone who lives east of West Street, I cannot say I live in Battery Park City. Or Soho, or Chinatown, etc. — Tribeca Citizen on Community Board 1 agendas for April

This is no doubt all true, but most of the Route 9A bollards were added in response to terrorist attacks. — Tribeca Citizen on Repaving starts on the West Street bike path

The Hudson River Greenway from TriBeCa to West 57th takes cyclists through the wealthy areas of SoHo, The Village, Chelsea and Midtown. When the same path was shut down between 181st and Dyckman - a working-class area - , Hudson River Greenway cyclists demanded a similar lane closure, but we got a so-called 'detour' onto Broadway instead. It was both dangerous and a mile out of the way. And bollards will be replaced in those wealthy areas. But uptown THERE AREN'T ANY BOLLARDS FOR FOUR MILES. This in an area in which private cars are sometimes seen driving or parking in the bollard-free bike path. The bias in values of lives between wealthy and working class is quite clear. — Stan O'Connor on Repaving starts on the West Street bike path

You can rent or buy an apartment in Tribeca Pointe, Tribeca Green, Tribeca Park and Tribeca Bridge Tower. Would you be living in Tribeca? All of these buildings are between West Street and the Hudson River (presumably Battery Park City, not Tribeca). I think of 100 Barclay and the Four Seasons as part of Tribeca but I wouldn't define the boundary based on real estate developer claims. And why do we need a defined boundary anyway? All of the people in the Battery Park City "Tribeca" buildings are part of the same community as Tribeca residents. We shop in the same stores, use the same subways, eat in the same restaurants, take our kids to the same playgrounds.... — Thomas Hagen on Community Board 1 agendas for April

The bail laws have nothing to do with this at all. You live in a city of 9 million people. More people are on the subway in one morning than live in Wyoming and Montana altogether. They have crime too. New York statistically isn't even in the top 20 for violent crime. Let that sink in. All the current bail reforms did was let some schmuck keep his crap minimum wage job so he could be treated like a citizen who is innocent until proven guilty just like everyone else. I grew up in this city when it actually was dangerous. Right now it's little house on the prairie, not Fort Apache. — John Gallagher on Another arrest at Patron of the New

Yes, most other large cities were designed with alleys in mind so trash on the sidewalks wouldn't be a thing. Granted, NYC is much older and more dense than most of those cities, but trash has been an issue in Manhattan since the Dutch occupied the island and hasn't really improved much since then. It's worth noting that you don't have to go far to find an interesting solution to this issue. Battery Park City does not have trash bags on many of its streets. There are multiple compactors where building tenants transport trash to during the day, and it keeps bags off the streets: https://www.waste360.com/residential/how-compacting-program-nys-battery-park-city-has-improved-residents-quality-life — James S on New garbage rules have shopkeepers frustrated

How do other cities deal with this? I've never seen such a trash problem in any city in the USA or in other countries where I have visited. Is it that all those other cities have back alleys? As for using movable trash cans with lids, I believe that's how NYC used to do it years ago. So maybe it's time to go back to requiring that. See here: https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2022/08/09/will-new-york-get-rid-of-trash-bags-on-sidewalks- "It wasn’t until the late 1960s that the practice of leaving garbage bags on the sidewalks to be picked up was instituted in the city. "Sanitation strikes, coupled with complaints about the noise of the metal bins and the ample supply of plastic bags, changed our street landscape to the way it is still today." — Marcus on New garbage rules have shopkeepers frustrated

The bins outside Sushi of Gari actually look quite nice. If there was a common standard similar to that one, I wouldn't mind seeing it more widely adopted. But as for the rationale of reducing the rat population, who are we kidding? The rats used to eating at 6pm will just give up in frustration and move to the burbs? Unless the city is real about mandating that all trash be placed in locked bins, this time shift does nothing on that front. There may still be some real value for rush hour commuters, but let's not pretend this will have any noticeable affect on rat populations. — James S on New garbage rules have shopkeepers frustrated
