Oh no, I had no idea, this is so heartbreaking. I have known Peter & Jamie casually for years, and every time I would see Peter in the street, he was so friendly, so talkative, so interested in how I and my kids were doing…he always had such a positive attitude toward things. Many times I would think that I might see him as I walked around the neighborhood, but sadly not for ages, for obvious reasons. I did not hear about his illness and determined fight. My heartfelt thoughts and sympathies go out to Jamie & the kids. Peter will be missed by so many people, those close, but also those not as close! — Robert Ripps on Peter Hort, lawyer, judge, art collector and father of four, dies at 51
Partial Stop Work Order still in place as of 4/28/2022: "WORK ALLOWED:CONSTRUCTION OF CAP BEAM @ COMPLETED SECANT WAL L ONLY NO OTHER WORK ALLOWED ***CSE AUDIT***#2799" — james on Unfinished business
The pricing is pretty laughable, a quick look at their online menu shows that rooftop prices are about 20% higher on the roof. The exact same glass of Whispering Angel will set you back $16 downstairs but $20 on the roof of the same restaurant in the same building. A bottle of the same is offered for $69 in the restaurant and $80 upstairs. The trend continues through every comparable item on the menu. I mean if you're ok spending what probably works out to a $30 per hour surcharge go for it, but it seems a bit steep for the sweeping 4th story views on offer. — Pricey on Seen & Heard: Last days for rooftops
31 people responded to a survey in 2016 asking for more food and beverage and a few hundred in the survey were tourists. This “resiliency” project has always been a commercial development project.

This is the best brand there is. — Jewel Walk on Kids These Days: Jagger Walk | Runaway New York
Christine and Flaweless are a real Tribeca gem - truly lucky to have this new positive energy in our neighborhood. — Demetri on New Kid on the Block: Flaweless
>>Pataki Way – Passive and Recreation Options – Discussion* THIS IS A NEW ONE FOR ME! IS THERE TO BE A PATAKI WAY?? OMG I hope not. Based on fuzzy recollections from back then, Pataki had to have his imprint on the WTC rebuilding process, and when the tunnel under West Street proposal was abandoned, came up with the idea that the area between Little West Street and West Street should be a promenade so tourists could get from the Statue of Liberty boats to the WTC. What was left of the community at that time fought against it and wanted more active recreation things (I think it was a playground and one of those adult exercise things but there may have been others) because the tourists were more likely to use Broadway or the esplanade since West Street is not very interesting to walk along. So Pataki got his way and you can see how many tourists are using it for its intended purpose (very few if any). When all of this was happening downtown was so deserted that someone started calling it Patakistan. — Hudson River on Community Board 1 agendas for October
Work at 65 Franklin/360 Broadway had progressed slightly (thought it was tough to tell if it was to address damage to the neighboring buildings or actual progress to the site) but nobody has been onsite for an entire month. Work has completely ceased. — TheBlackSquirrel on Unfinished business
Those were so cool...I never even saw them. I do like the color abstract painted doors also, but wonder why they painted over the Peanuts ones. Any ideas? It's a shame. — Marcus on The lost “Peanuts” murals of Greenwich Street
West Village? East Village? No, Burger Village — TribecaPickleBall on New Kid on the Block: Burger Village
Yes! I wish they would talk more about how incredibly unfair that is to girls and women and how we MUST keep Title IX for female students only...and solidify women's rights based in their biological sex...I love how Maud Maron is willing to stand up where others lack bravery and indulge in groupthink and cowardice...It is time someone stands up for WOMEN! — Jennifer A. Mesot on The Candidates 2022: Maud Maron for the 10th Congressional District
Maud Maron is NOT racist...That is a very harsh allegation for the statements that were made, which were merely inclusive in language...There is nothing at all racist about including White children in the dialogue for our NYC schools... — Jennifer A. Mesot on The Candidates 2022: Maud Maron for the 10th Congressional District
Blah blah blah....is there anything we can do? What about resident parking permits for those of us who actually pay the neighborhood taxes and ca not park in our street and have to pay another rent for the car? So, you live here you pay parking, you don't live here you don't pay parking, totally insane...is the bottom line... — Tribeca Resident on A deep dive on placard abuse
BPCA just royally screwing up Wagner. No chance a local business like Gigino will be able to compete against the bigger restaurant names in an open RFP. — person on Gigino at Wagner will not (necessarily) return
Get back to your roots And be reborn — Curandero on Art in Tribeca: Jaime Miranda-Bambarén at Thomas Paine Park
Prior to moving into the apartment, Gehry management gave us express permission in writing to host professional, small-scale, intimate dinners, which we host for select clientele and journalists. I have never met Ms. Lippin, she lives on a different floor, nor has she ever attended any of our events, and has been trolling us online non-stop without cause. Clearly, her Pilates business must not be doing so well she has so much free time on her hands to troll an unknown neighbor. Ms. Lippin, with all due respect, you are wrong on both counts. What myself and my team do is perfectly legal, significantly, there is nothing unethical about what we do, and what we do, our guests and the public at large perceive as innovative and unequivocally cool. You don’t need a PhD to figure that one out. 🎤 drop — Carlos Gasperi on In the News: A restaurant in a 75th floor one-bedroom
Oh no! Picasso has been a wonderful and very reliable resource. Their food is good, and their staff is always friendly. — Les on In the News: Two legacy storefronts could close in BPC

Really nice girl. So proud of you Pearl! Congrats! — JC on Kids These Days: Pearl Gold
So proud of your Pearl! — Joe and Nick on Kids These Days: Pearl Gold
Businesses definitely should be good neighbors - but I have noticed a lot of anti-business residents who feel like Tribeca is a suburb of NYC, and who selfishly wants the city to bend to their esoteric rules at the cost of having a sustainable neighborhood with retail and residential. — B on Neighbors fight the cocktail lounge coming to 293 Church
Thanks! Nice to see these in print. I hope this also inspires some TriBeCaians to check out the Cloud Appreciation Society. — Charlotte bialek on When the clouds come out to play
Is it 1983? There is zero concern for mosquitos in NYC. RATS never came to mind? We have a rat infestation of biblical proportions and mosquitoes are the concern? This doesn’t make sense. — Mary on The city will spray for mosquitoes tonight
We love you Pearl, congrats!!! — KLG on Kids These Days: Pearl Gold
You are 100% right. This is sneaky on the city’s part, on par with fluoride in our water both dangerous for humans. Who voted on this ? How about addressing the RAT problem? There is zero reason to spray. — Mary on The city will spray for mosquitoes tonight
