The colors/hues in the renderings were lovely: understated and elegant, designed as a nod to the neighborhood’s industrial past. The IRL version appears to take its design cues from public housing in Scandinavia. What a shame, as it’s otherwise wonderful to have another boutique hotel in the neighborhood. — Reader On Reade on Warren Street Hotel is getting colorful

My wife and I tried Caliza last night. It was disappointing. A very soft opening to be sure. We were told that the actual opening will be in February, but they sure have many kinks to work out. The service was wishful thinking with a couple of knowing the menu to most just following the others and chuckling at the plate names. Four entres seemed overpriced and not tried after tasting three of the five appetizers which were meager, spicey and pricey. No chips with salsa here and when asked, they bought a burnt tortilla on a plate halfway into the meal after asking again. Their basic Margarita was good, but again meager and at $19 gone in three sips. The ambiance was very nice but noticeably not family friendly. No kids menu and nowhere to put carriages will undoubtedly hurt business in this family neighborhood. I don't see the need to return here with Fonda available on Duane St. Mexican cuisine is still best there. It would have been better to have a nice diner here since who can go to GeeWhiz anymore. — Manuel Cabrero on Restaurant Week starts tomorrow

Illegal weed stores are the new nail salons...one on every block. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on It’s *Mr.* Exotix to you!

I live in the building, the place is a weed store. the snacks are a front — steve lemon on It’s *Mr.* Exotix to you!

It's both! I discovered this when I brought my daughter to the John Street location for some snack splurging. Interesting experience. — Steve on It’s *Mr.* Exotix to you!

Is this a weed dispensary or snack food shop? No issues with either, just curious. Why is this block so ugly/dirty? — Chambers Resident on It’s *Mr.* Exotix to you!

I am so glad this abomination has since been scrubbed — BVP on AKA aka Smyth hotel lobby and bar to open in May

Hope their not charging drinks the way the do at the bar in the restaurant. Went there on Christmas eve and had a drink with my sister at the bar while waiting for our guests. Two drinks (a glass of wine and a vodka soda). Wine was $26.00 and the drink was $19.00 and...$2.00 for the soda. The rest of the drinks during dinner were again $19.00 and...$2.00 for the soda. Charging $2.00 for 3 ounces of soda in a drink is cheesy and disingenuous to say the least. John McDonald said this was going to be a neighborhood spot. I disagree and will be spending my money elsewhere. — JohnnyMac on The bar and lounge at the Smyth Hotel opens today

Have been here several times since they opened. Love everything about it.....great food and service. A restaurant/bar that makes you feel great for the minute you walk in whether you're alone or with crowd. Welcoming .....fun fun place. Great place . — Chris on New Kid on the Block: Bar 135

It’s the place to be! Love the atmosphere! Food is soooo good-not your typical bar food. My favorite is the veggie burger-delicious! Great selection of beer too! Owner Jude, truly appreciates his customers as does his staff. — Darlene on New Kid on the Block: Bar 135

I went to the new Bar 135 and loved it! The homemade whipped ricotta over Crostinis were amazing and I have to say the smash burger is one of the best Ive ever had. Agree dont miss the fries too! Id steer away from the sliders as they were average and way too many other delicious options on the Menu. Jude has built a special place and not to be missed IMO. — Luke B on New Kid on the Block: Bar 135

They provide 3 cent on the dollar to cancer victims. So they keep 97 cent of every dollar you donate. For example, if you were to donate $100 dollars $3 dollars of that would actually go to cancer sufferers and they would keep $97 dollars. So technically they can get away with being a "Charity" but in actual effect,, they are a scamming organization. — JustSomeOldDude on Nosy Neighbor: Is there a non-profit scam going on?

Hi there great article! Just a correction if you would. Matriark is a NYC-based company. We founded the company after building a healthy eating program for youth and families living in NYCHA -- and brokering relationships with farmers to get their surplus produce to classes. Sourcing of 3M lbs for sauces correct! And more to come. Thanks so much. — Anna Hammond on Whole Foods One Wall Street has opened in Fidi

We heard from long-term Tribeca friends that they were sorry about Reade Street Pub closing, about losing a neighborhood oldie, and for a while there seemed to be a bit of uncertainty as to what was to happen in the space. In the meantime, we took a small apartment nearby (newbies) and have loved stopping in at 135. Great beer and fries, and everyone who works there is friendly and attentive. It seems busier with each visit. Thank you for writing this up and for pointing out that, in the hands of people who know what they are doing, efforts were made to keep Bar 135 in character. It is a wonderful neighborhood. — N and C on New Kid on the Block: Bar 135

It has become a nice wind down for afterwork for me. Their burgers/sliders are to die for. Very reasonable prices. Not overcrowded and you can actually have a conversation without yelling. Happy to have another bar/tavern. I have become a loyal patron. — Sandra on New Kid on the Block: Bar 135
