Send a picture! — Tribeca Citizen on Sylvia Weinstock, whose cakes became the stars of many celebrity weddings, has died at 91

My mother-in-law, a very proper Southern woman (think Steel Magnolia) insisted on a "groom's cake" at my wedding & had Sylvia Weinstock make the most amazing cake. However, I was married 2 weeks after Sept 11th and Sylvia insisted and was actually able to make the cake-I think her husband delivered it :) I love that memory and was so impressed by Sylvia. My condolences to her family  — SD on Sylvia Weinstock, whose cakes became the stars of many celebrity weddings, has died at 91

Regarding the New Market Building, the NYCEDC was given responsibility for maintaining the structure built in 1939 and used continuously by the Fish merchants until 2005. Under their watch the pilings were not maintained and it was falling into the river. Given its pedigree and its historical significance as a public market, "preservationists" were hoping that it could be repurposed for another public use. — Michael Kramer on Seen & Heard: Sushi of Gari coming along

Sylvia was an extremely creative, kind and generous soul. We in TriBeCa were so fortunate to have her as a neighbor and friend.

I met Sylvia recently as she was leaving the A Uno boutique ... didn't know who she was at the time. She was a lovely, feisty, very cool person who gave me some great advice about aging and not letting anything, certainly not that, stand in your way. When I read about her later, I was blown away by all that she has done in her life. Sympathies to her loved ones. — Susan Duffy on Sylvia Weinstock, whose cakes became the stars of many celebrity weddings, has died at 91

What a wonderful tribute! Meeting Robert, getting to know and love both him and Jennifer was a highlight of my chapter living in NYC. It was so powerful roaming the streets with him filming him in the snowstorms making art. He would always direct me telling me how to get certain buildings in for context.
