  • When you “allow” uncontrolled immigration of people fleeing the same kind of terror, abuse and poverty our ancestors did a significant part of any solution has to be visas and settlement strategies that lead to control. More police aren’t going to do anything if you’re ready to crawl through the Darien Gap with a child on your back. It also has to be said if you are on line at Federal Plaza you are by definition “legal” as you are there for a process of some sort where the ICE people know who and where you are. — John Gallagher on The embarrassment that is 26 Federal Plaza

  • why the F was this place allowed to keep scaffolding up for the last 10+ years and now it will turn into a massive construction site.

  • I'm glad there are more businesses that are New York at its core. Tribeca isn't your personal suburban backyard - NYC life doesn't stop because NYC life isn't for you, especially if small businesses are respectful — B on Anotheroom moving south on West Broadway

  • The Pharmacy was Magoo’s back in the day. The walls were festooned with works by local artists - traded for bar tabs. It was said that the upstairs was a bordello. It is just shameful that so many of our unique little buildings are toppling to greed. — Jean H on Tribeca Pharmacy building has been sold

  • I've always been fascinated by this building, and thought the top floor apartment was intriguing with all its exterior balcony decks and that circular central section. Shame that it will be gone. — Marcus on Tribeca Pharmacy building has been sold

  • I love Wei West so much... get it every Sunday night! — BPC Dad on Friedmans coming to the Caliza space

  • My father once fixed loudspeakers and did musical electronics repairs in and out of the storefront at 3 Walker Street in the mid-1960's. The Matera family were great landlords. I have memories of roadies (Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels) pulling up at the curb and my dad fixing their gear out on the sidewalk. Tribeca was not always full of luxury residential tenants. Where was Magoo's? — Michael Kramer on Tribeca Pharmacy building has been sold

  • I live in a building that overlooks the Worth and Broadway side of 26 Federal Plaza. While your reporting on past years is completely accurate, the situation has actually improved materially over the last year or two. Ever since construction of the barricades were completed, trees planted and the monuments returned, the lengthy queues (at least on this side of the building) have dissipated, there are regular security guards directing flow of traffic/granting refusing entry in to the lines, and the queues while still there are orderly and don't really start until after the sun comes up. None of this is to give credit to ICE and their treatment of people and/or processing times, but it does feel a lot more orderly than in years past and the area has been "cleaned up" a decent amount. Now if they could finally get rid of the cinder blocks and ugly organge construction plastic/sheds on Broadway, since they appear to serve no purpose now that the sidewalks have been repaired and reopened, that would be swell. — J Tribeca on The embarrassment that is 26 Federal Plaza

  • Most serious and fatal crashes involve drugs/alcohol and/or criminal activity – not “regular” drivers. Here’s another recent one - a man doing “donuts” in Brooklyn crashed and fatally struck his girlfriend after midnight on 7/13. But not much media attention. — Lin on In the News: Two people killed on Canal and Bowery

  • Tragic deaths and condolences to the families. But this was not a “regular” driver – this was a driver involved in criminal activities. Drugs, alcohol and a gun were found in the vehicle. The driver Autumn Romero already had a pending criminal case in Brooklyn as in April she crashed and seriously injured a pedestrian - but was free without bail The car was “stolen” in that it was a rental car that had not been returned. — Lin on In the News: Two people killed on Canal and Bowery
