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?

$5,000 bail for deliberately setting a fire that could have killed innocent people and endangered the lives of the firefighters? The punishment doesn't even come close to fitting the crime. — Sherri Rosen on Suspect charged with arson in fire on Murray Street

Why is 11 year old Greta worried about crossing the street late at night with drunk people? She shouldn’t be alone - and I also can’t imagine she’s immune to that in Manhattan. If this is the concern, the family may need to rethink things. This is the quietest spot and isn’t a typical rowdy bar. It’s a welcome addition to a wonderful spot that we lost. — Tribeca citizen on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry

I ordered a pizza at 5 pm this evening and it arrived lukewarm at 5:45 pm and the cheese was congealed. I am guessing the pizza was sitting around and that they threw the toppings I wanted on top (the onions were raw) and delivered the pizza without heating it. Not a good beginning. — Laura on First Impressions: Marinara Pizza

"Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini were "all over each other" at a secluded bar in New York City — six years before they were caught holding hands and hugging at an Arizona resort. "As seen in exclusive new pics obtained by Page Six, the New England Patriots coach and the NFL reporter were spotted together inside the dimly lit Tribeca Tavern in the early hours of March 11, 2020. "They sat close to each other while conversing at the bar, at one point appearing to share a kiss. " 'They were kissing and they were all over each other,' an eyewitness told Page Six. 'He had a ring on.' "At the time the photos were snapped, Vrabel was already married to wife Jen, while Russini said 'I do' to her now-husband, Shake Shack executive Kevin Goldschmidt, just six months later. Each shares two kids with their respective partners." https://pagesix.com/2026/04/23/celebrity-news/dianna-russini-and-married-mike-vrabel-caught-kissing-at-nyc-bar-taken-6-years-before-scandal/ — James Bogardus on Action at the old Tribeca Tavern

Amazing. This design and expansion of the plans seems to complete the corner although it is still too short for the site, especially with such a tall building across the street. — Matthew on Building for Church & Lispenard has a new look

“Too tall… next to a 550ft building? In one of the most transit-accessible spots in the city? Sure. If anything, this is a masterclass in underbuilding. We’ve got five subway lines within a few blocks and a corridor that’s been retail purgatory for years. But let’s keep it low-rise for ‘character.’ Upzone it and build like this is actually Manhattan. — FiDiGuy on Building for Church & Lispenard has a new look

Talg: "Some rules are reasonable all of the time. Some are reasonable most of the time. Most are reasonable only some of the time" I am curious what that means exactly? Do you think that, in general, "rules" are unnecessary in a crowded city? And who should get to decide which "rules" are not important or which rules to break? If my dog is off-leash and bites your dog is that OK? (personally I think not) What about this example - per media reports, a Swiss tourist was recently arrested in Bali after posting to social media that he went outside on the holy Nyepi “Day of Silence”, a strict day of silence, fasting, and meditation when nobody is allowed outside (except for emergencies) Was it OK for the guy to break the rule? Perhaps from his POV it was not a sensible rule? Or he thought not a big deal? Should he have been arrested as an outcome? — Lia on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

The committee members are aware that the New York State Liquor Authority, the SLA, will likely approve it. So their general strategy, they say often, is to negotiate with the owners and agree to stipulations, rather than disapprove it and have no influence. Also this space will require no kitchen and has no upstairs neighbors. — Tribeca Citizen on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry

The number of dogs at Whole Foods is getting to be absurd. I also have a dog and yes, it would be convenient for me to batch grocery shopping with a dog walk. And yet I manage to live a productive and fulfilled life without bringing my dog into a grocery store. — ReaderOnDuane on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

I'm glad this got approved, but I'm so confused how CB1 operates. Does anyone remember the bar that tried to open on Laight in the space that is now Bel Ange? Laight Street is infinitely busier than Washington Street, yet CB1 declined the application and neighbors came out in droves to oppose the bar. What gives? — H on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry

Re: a "commercial dishwasher for the skilled nursing facility at NYC Health + Hospitals/Gouverneur" I am shocked that the facility does not have one and also that it is reliant on residents to vote in order to obtain one. The City can't buy this equipment for a nursing facility - but has money to expand a bike lane for World Cup tourists? Really disturbing IMO — Lisa on Participatory Budgeting voting is open now

"My dog doesn't sh*t on the turf"...said every dog owner who's dog sh*t on the turf. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Lone voice here. Not advocating for breaking the law and agree dog owners need/must pick up their poop etc. But as a lapsed Londoner (20 years in Tribeca ) and dog owner, I miss the dog sitting under the bar stall or laying under the coffee table. Dogs are or atleast were part of the community. Reading the above is sad, it really is health and safety gone mad. The only logical conclusion is to ban people, as well dogs, because of the mess and potential threat some of them present. The tone of the above comments are aggressive, partisan and show a lack of understanding for the fellow traveler in life. We used to sleep with animals because they kept us warm and alive now we won't let them share and live in our surroundings. Next up will be the campaign by the health and safety put "people first" lobby to stop dogs off leash before 9am in central park - an absolute joy to behold. It's coming. No bars, no restaurants, no dogs, no kids what is Tribeca becoming ? — Will on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?
