Jungsik has three stars now! — H on Tribeca reps at James Beard Awards

I am proud to be a long time member of the Food Council of City Harvest. They do an exemplary job of feeding people in need in NYC. — Tracy Nieporent on Seen & Heard: Demolition to start next month at Warren & West Broadway

Don't forget the Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney! Amazing sandwiches and salads in a beautiful setting. Congrats to the Frenchette team! — Cat on Tribeca reps at James Beard Awards

The "deal" you are referring to was saving the Elisabeth Street Garden and getting 600 new affordable housing units. This was not overnight, Marte has been working on this for years. It's a win win for downtown. — JS Miller on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

LOVE CHRIS MARTE! This is a good man. — Jsk on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

They have done NYPD sweeps through there regularly but they return quickly. Marte has been very supportive and worked with NYPD but again... This sits in the Mayor's office for fault as he's the one who had a hiring freeze on agencies responsible for Quality of Life issues like DSNY, Parks and NYPD. Now the Mayor is bragging he's putting more cops on the streets because he's running for office. Knowing where to push the blame is critical to understand and it sits with the Mayor! — KT on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

There was also a night heron hanging around a few years ago. The ducks are not happy because herons are hunters, and baby ducks are prime game. We‘ve seen ducks fighting off a heron. — Jeff on Nosy Neighbor: Where are the ducks?

That Heron comes and goes. I've seen it a bunch over the past 3 years. — Dellin Betansaze on Nosy Neighbor: Where are the ducks?

Agreed. Have any of the candidates even mentioned this issue, and other quality-of-life issues around the city - littering, public urination, graffiti, etc.? — Marcus on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

Duane Reade has only the NY Post and sometimes the WSJ. They stopped carrying the NYT a while ago. The newsstand on Greenwich St opposite 275 carries newspapers, but the NYT delivery sometimes doesn't make it there. — Loren Harkin on Morgan’s will no longer sell newspapers

I wonder how many voters were swayed to Marte as a reaction to the horrible barrage of nasty anti-Marte flyers. The fact that he is such a threat to the obviously very wealthy in the neighborhood Proves that he is doing his job well for the rest of us. Shame on those who sent them. — Jean H on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

Just days before the election I got an e-mail from Marte’s office in response to the petition regarding the counterfeit bazaar, I was puzzled that he acted like he has just noticed it! How many years has he been in office? Granted he might have bigger fish to fry than the quality of life issues in this crossroad of unconstrained illegal activities and residents who just want to take back their sidewalks and make the neighborhood livable. This inexplicable occupation of the few blocks below and above Canal and the streets around since Covid and the total hands off from the city has left the area in a perpetual state of chaos and filth asides from the daily harassment from the vendors pushing their goods. So far not a single politician has formally acknowledged this issue. I do worry the combination of Mamdani and Jess Coleman or Marte means this nightmare will outlive most of us. — R. on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

If development only counted when DOB paperwork was filed on time, half the city wouldn’t exist. When it all checks out, I’ll be gracious enough to accept your handwritten apology - cursive preferred, on embossed stationary. — Alex on Nosy Neighbor: Is anything happening with the former Tent & Trails?

There's been a stunning black-crowned night heron hanging around the last few weeks. The ducks don't like him. — Thomas on Nosy Neighbor: Where are the ducks?

"You can read it in the Sunday papers... Sunday papers." — Joe Jackson on Morgan’s will no longer sell newspapers

I think it’s the weather! Found those ducks in Teardrop Park during the crazy rains of last week and I bet that pond is too hot right now vs the Hudson with the crazy heat of this week. Hope the koi are ok. — Michael F on Nosy Neighbor: Where are the ducks?

The digital NYT with paper weekend delivery is (often) less expensive than the digital-only plan. Though counterintuitive, the NYT makes more money from weekend paper delivery due to the advertising inserts and advert-driven magazine content. — Chris on Morgan’s will no longer sell newspapers

How does one get only the Sunday paper delivered? I don’t think that is an option. — MES on Morgan’s will no longer sell newspapers

The entire vote was only 23k ? How many registered democrats are there that could vote ? — john on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

NYC is done. For some smart folks, our elections have been taken over by transplants. Be fair warn, if Mamdani is elected prepare for Diblasio 3.0 2.0 was Adams. — Sandra on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

Many of us in the neighborhood support Chris Marte. He has worked tirelessly for the good of all who live in his district. Please try to be civil in your criticism. — Alexandra Neil on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

BPCA put little wire fencing around all the areas in the pond where the ducks would build their nests. These areas are also where the little duckling learn to eat bugs. The wire fencing catches them and drowns them. — A2 on Nosy Neighbor: Where are the ducks?

Yes, Van the Man (: — Joan on Plans have been filed to demolish 80 West Broadway

Well said. We need to move on from this clown. — Jack on City Council seat will require a second round of voting

We can only hope that the cross endorsement of Elizabeth and Jess can disrupt this continuing disaster. I have never met a more obnoxious group of political advocates than the barely voting age supporters of Marte who parked in front of the Target in Tribeca last week and shouted down any one who dared to talk to either Elizabeth or Jess' people. I have to give Lewinsohn credit - she never broke composure the entire time. Marte has been terrible for downtown. Dirty, unsafe streets, anti-development (until he cut a day before election deal to save face) and worried about the broader political agenda vs. the neighborhoods he represents. He has done nothing for Tribeca and has no plans to change that record. — Downtown Dad Reborn on City Council seat will require a second round of voting
