jm: I see dogs daily in the morning, typically between 7:30 and 9:00am, on weekdays. There are people who throw balls for their dogs to catch, people who just let their dogs run loose as if it were a dog park, people who take pictures of their dogs running, people who leash them to the poles while the humans exercise, and so on. I'm not against dogs – and find this whole polarized conversation quite confusing: The perimeter of the field is clearly marked with signs that state that dogs are not allowed on the turf. I I'm not sure why this is such a hard concept for people to grasp. Especially given the plethora of dog runs and places to walk one's dog downtown. — Duane Street on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Jails plan is so foolish and yet it goes on. There won't be enough spaces to hold all the inmates, so they'll end up having to keep Rikers open after all. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Spring block party at Bogardus

This concept still seems completely backwards to me. I'd vote for European (and probably rest of world) style cafe seating. Widen the sidewalks, put the tables and chairs directly against the restaurant building wall. Benefits: - puts table service right next to the restaurant - servers and customers don't have to cross the pedestrian area - so it does not conflict with pedestrians - does not interfere with street cleaning - does not require any structures at all (which are expensive, invite critters to live underneath, have to be stored in off-season, become magnets for graffiti vandalism, etc.) - no wacky electrical wires dangling over the pedestrian areas (how is this code?) to run lighting or fans or heating etc. in the seating area - tables and chairs can be moved inside when the place closes etc. — Marcus on An update on outdoor dining

Location, staff, and vibe, A+++++... Pizza, my opinion super boring and generic. Not NYC enough for my taste. I wish them luck though. I can't even image the $$$ invested there. — A Tribeca Parent on First Impressions: Marinara Pizza

The LPC approved the plans. I love it! https://www.newyorkyimby.com/2026/04/lpc-approves-renovation-expansion-of-385-greenwich-street-in-tribeca-manhattan.html — Reademan on Rooftop addition proposed for historic building at Greenwich and N. Moore

Yes Nomad is very tasty and Samar is charming, I am a fan .Tika Marsala sandwich with shrimp as the protein is my favorite. — dianne talan on New Kid on the Block: Nomad Sandwiches

Less parking. More traffic, congestion. MORE RATS MICE PIGEONS — Alessandra on An update on outdoor dining

A 300-seat diner? That’s more than Katz’s space. Seems ambitious. — DH on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers

This coffee was so good. I used it as a pick me up before my daughter's softball game and it kept me warm the whole time. I got just a regular latte and a cookie and when I order the staff were so nice, it made the whole shop have a different feeling. — ava on New Kid on the Block: Toby’s Estate Coffee Roasters

Pizza was good but a block away and it was delivered cold so agree it had to have been sitting there for a while. — TribecaMom on First Impressions: Marinara Pizza

What is happening with this space? Anyone have any updated info? I see they are trying to run on the Tribeca Tavern name still hoping to rent this space. The owner isn’t very responsive. — Alex on Action at the old Tribeca Tavern

I suspect if you're hoping for a charming neighborhood diner, like Gee Whiz, you're going to be disappointed. I'd love to be wrong. — Thomas Hagen on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers

I welcome another diner option (so missing Tribeca's Kitchen and Gee Whiz) but the outdoor seating is a hilarious dream. I walk around that corner almost every day and if there's more a slight breeze it's a mini dust devil haven. And unless they regrade it, the slope of the ground will make it uncomfortable to sit there without customizable chair legs. And isn't that where the restaurant garbage will go each night before pickup? — N on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers

That's an awfully big footprint for a diner. — Manhattanmommie on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers

Right on jmm! and Will! — SP on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

That's a separate location, which will be at 33 Nassau. The website lists the following locations as coming soon: 711 7th Ave, 33 Maiden Lane, 445 Gold Street in Brooklyn, 200 Chambers, and JFK Airport Terminal 1. — Sam on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers

That's no "turf", but an sports playing field. I'm pretty sure the number of dog owners who get in with their dogs and use it as a dog's run is minimal or even almost inexistant. Of course, my own experience proves nothing, but, for what is worth, I have NEVER seen a dog within that field, ever. This piece is fueling unnecessary debate over a non-issue and promoting hate towards dogs and their owners. — jmm on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

There are signs on the south east corner of John and Nassau for a coming soon Carnegie Diner and Cafe. Is that a separate location or just an ad for the Chambers place? — Gary Greenberg on Carnegie Diner and Cafe plans approved for 200 Chambers

This space has been dark or poorly used for temporary projects for many years, and it always seemed such a waste. Whatever one's opinion of the work, the gallery owners have done a beautiful job on the interior and it enlivens the block greatly. Hope they're successful. — mulciber on Sneak Peek: Southern Guild

Then why was she arrested? — NBC on Fire on Murray Street caused no injuries

The runner is following park rules. The dog owner is not following park rules. Hope that clears up the situation for you. — DH on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Just follow the rules. Ranting about wanting to pick and choose which rules you decide you want to follow is the definition of entitlement. Dogs are not humans. There are places specifically built for them (dog parks). Use those places that were built just for you and your animal. — DH on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Agree -- the tone is angry—but sometimes this anger and frustration is justified. I've been told to 'f-off' when asking someone to leash a dog. That's the 'entitlement' being described. Consideration for the rules helps in these situations; being civil when asking an owner to leash a dog or responding to that request is what's important. We're neighbors; let's act like good neighbors! — Donna B on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Bravooooo 👏 — Francesco on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry
