Are there any formal petitions to push LL11 reform? — Carrie Puchkoff on An effort to tackle the city’s 280 miles of sidewalk sheds

Great news! They have such a small space right now, it is always jammed. — ML on Zucker’s will move across the street

Heart breaking to hear. This is my husband and my go-to spot, and the BEST place for vegan chili-cheese fries. Their special monthly burgers and shakes are what we looked forward to each month :( +1, Don't go!!! — Monique M on Lekka Burger will close at the end of the month

This makes me so sad. We lived in south BPC for about 17 years and Picasso was a big part of our experience. Not only did they serve great pizza (huge slices BTW!) but they were wonderful neighbors. Always willing to donate to local school fundraisers and smiling and waving to neighbors as folks walked by their windows. They helped make that neighborhood special. I really hope all of the guys who worked there were taken care of and have found new employment. Very sad for the neighborhood. — Kathy on Picasso Pizza, a stalwart of Battery Park City, has closed

That shot with the snow is beautiful. Makes me miss snow believe it or not since we hardly got any this winter. — Amy S on New Kid on the Block: TD Bank

Devastated by this news. We just ate there last week! Lekka burgers are truly innovative and delicious. And the french fries with za’atar and the heavenly cheese sauce? Some of the best fries I’ve ever eaten. Really hope Lekka can return one day! — Emily D on Lekka Burger will close at the end of the month

Amazing place, many great meals and memories. Your ziti slice and eggplant parm will never be forgotten!!!! Will miss Picasso and the team there…. arrivederci — Erik Knettel on Picasso Pizza, a stalwart of Battery Park City, has closed

Wow! After 16 years you’d think they’d get my order straight, and without all that wait time. Some Wishful thinking for the new location. — Vale on Zucker’s will move across the street

She's back! And of course right. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Picasso has indeed sadly closed, with a farewell message from the owner on the facade - and lots of sad notes from kids and others in the neighborhood. A loss for sure. — David on In the News: Two legacy storefronts could close in BPC

Seriously, don’t go! — Josh S on Lekka Burger will close at the end of the month

Glad to have another sports bar in the area! Looking forward to checking it out. — Vitaliy Demyanik on Sports bar coming to the former Barleycorn space

This great site/building is 172 Duane Street. It is on the east side of the construction wood panel, regards, Sonia Stock — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?

What a contrast! The beauty of this (relatively) small restored gem against the sterile glass block next to it. Glad to see the lovely smaller building unveiled again. — Marcus on New Kid on the Block: TD Bank

Very sad news. Sorry to hear it is going. Hope they find a way to return to the neighborhood! — Marcus on Lekka Burger will close at the end of the month

Leo's Bagels is also getting bigger by expanding into the vacant retail space next door, giving it frontage right onto Hanover Square. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Zucker’s will move across the street

This is a HUGE loss for the neighborhood; there is nothing else quite like Lekka in the vicinity. Here’s hoping there’s a way for them to make a sufficient profit by operating a smaller takeout/delivery space nearby. PLEASE COME BACK TO US. — Reader on Reade on Lekka Burger will close at the end of the month

Well this is REALLY sad news... the burgers are great and with nothing similar in the vegan world... :( — Richard on Lekka Burger will close at the end of the month

Welcome to the neighborhood, Chip City - the more options for fresh baked cookies, the better!! Pam: if you haven't tried the Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies at One White Street's Market - wow, just wow ;)) — Franklin Foodie on New Cookie on the Block: Chip City

In response to James. Your 100 correct. Psychoses is a big one with this Pot use. It is addictive. People acting Manic from it. Driving cars. Working jobs high. Its just not good or right. Families are being affected by this. The THC is through the roof. No one really knows what's in this so called POT from these shady places. I hope and pray they all shut down. I think we only really have two legal ones in the city. — Shut them down on Seen & Heard: Robert Janz documentary screening

Great Chocolate Chip cookie. The young staff is very nice. Welcome to Greenwich Street! — JS Miller on New Cookie on the Block: Chip City

there is definitely a landlord problem. Scaffolding promised to come down for the new businesses in his building. Issues with Gas. — NY Native on New Cookie on the Block: Chip City

Fun fact: This corner (Walker & Courlandt Alley) has a rich and complicated history involving street art, punk rock and one of Argentina's preeminent songwriters. Here's a rough backstory: It's complicated, but: https://vassifer.blogs.com/alexinnyc/2023/01/back-again-to-charlys-corner-at-cortlandt-walker.html — Alex Smith on New Kid on the Block: Mostrador

Good stuff. I am glad DRG is moving forward with the work of opening the space instead of doing nothing, not paying rent, issuing multiple lawsuits against landlords, ex-partners and 'trademark infringers'. Can't wait to go there and support the business! — Z.H. on Delmonico’s will return to Beaver Street

The statue is an explicit response to Cellini's statue of Perseus holding the head of the Medusa, which has been displayed in the Piazza della Signorina in Florence since 1554. Nothing new about either nudity or violence in art. — Medusa on Art in Tribeca: Medusa gets her man
