Completely agree! 45 park place is a blight on our neighborhood — CG on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

I would love real tribeca citizen merch! A simple classic baseball hat would be fab! — Cw on Seen & Heard: Stealing the TC logo

I’m so glad to see this happening. I had the good fortune to eat in his restaurants and attend a Chef and Doctor program. David Bouley’s impact on the culinary world was huge, and his ideas about nutrition and the environment deserve to live on. Thank you Nicole Bartelme for making this happen, and thank you Tribeca Citizen for writing about it. — Anthony Bartelme on Foundation established for David Bouley

I am blown away by the lack of any movement whatsoever at 45 Park Place. Broke ground over a decade ago! — Peter G on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

Chambers has been exceptional since the day they opened! Love them and everyone there! — Tribeca Local on Seen & Heard: Chambers is a James Beard finalist

Both fair concerns. But as Pam noted in the post, UL enforcement is automated. As far as the former, I'm not really sure where you can site this downtown in a central area for delivery workers that avoids congestion. As Ben noted, taking parking away would be preferable, and I suspect in due time that is where more of these will go. But alas that's not the choice that was made here. — malcolm on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

The perfect place for this would've been, after an eminent domain grab, in front of one of the abandoned buildings around the neighborhood, like 45 Park Place, or the Leaning Tower of FIDI. — J Frank P on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

Becomes a congregation point with no enforcement of the two-person restriction resulting in sidewalk congestion in an already busy spot; lack of enforcement of the UL-listed batteries only...to name a couple potential issues. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

Like what? — malcolm on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

Great news!!! The creation of the David Bouley Living Pantry Foundation is a powerful continuation of David Bouley’s lifelong vision—strength to Nicole Bartelme for her efforts. It captures everything he stood for: connection between food, health, creativity, and community. Nurturing future artisans, preserving his pioneering chef-and-doctor collaborations, and championing sustainable, nutrient-rich food systems, the foundation extends his legacy— activates our senses and memories. A much needed living, evolving platform that will continue to inspire innovation, elevate the culinary and creative arts, and redefine how we think about nourishment and well-being for generations to come. I miss this guy. — Sam T on Foundation established for David Bouley

Sadly, I suspect this will be a classic case of "what could possibly go wrong?". A lot, I expect. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

Wow I am sad to hear this! The food and service were great and the place always had a fair number of people dining when we were there. Really too bad. — CH on Il Giglio on Greenwich has closed

Kudos to Nicole for creating such an important foundation to continue the amazing work of her husband, David Bouley. I still remember my first dinner at his restaurant in Tribeca - his attention to detail from the apples at the front door to every inch of the interior of the space was thoughtfully designed with the customer as the focus. Having a foundation focused on the culinary arts as it intersects with health and well being is such a needed focus for all of us and a truly touching way to keep David’s important work and his legacy alive. — Marietta on Foundation established for David Bouley

"While I think a hub for delivery workers is an excellent idea, I do think this is one of the most ill-conceived sites. Why not put it in a less trafficked location?" Agree it shouldn't take precious sidewalk space; take up road space. Of the streetscape, 75% is devoted to roads while only 25% is sidewalks - inversely proportionate to actual usage of cars/pedestrians. That wide sidewalk is one of the few pleasant sidewalk spaces in all of downtown. — Ben on Deliverista hub on Broadway is under construction

look to the right! — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: Chambers is a James Beard finalist

Will there be a Shred a Thon in Duane Park this year? — C’est moi on Seen & Heard: Chambers is a James Beard finalist

I've lived in Tribeca 20 years and watched many creative and more reasonably priced restaurants closed. Beef Bar over the top pricing. Good to still have places like Walkers, Terra, Bubbys, Estancia 460, Yves, Zutto and many more to choose from. — Toni on Paper Moon Giardino is aiming for a spring 2026 opening

Restaurants are now outrageously expensive; I know someone who says that for the price of an entree he can make a lovely dinner for four at home. The other advantage of that, of course, is that you can actually hear what the others at the table are saying. — George Bacon on Il Giglio on Greenwich has closed

I am always bemused to walk by luxury clothing boutiques, both male and female, in SoHo and inevitably, glancing through the windows, see only bored clerks and not one customer . . . — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: Subway stair is closed at West Broadway and Chambers

Very expensive, fine dining level prices, but not a fine dining level of service, decor, etc. It's a tough time to be a restauranteur and also a tough time to be a patron who prefers low-key, local, neighborhood spots. — D. on Il Giglio on Greenwich has closed

I always thought Il Mulino made a mistake when they opened the spot as a fish forward restaurant. The original Il Giglio was such a great spot for the neighborhood and I was happy to see the restaurant (sort of) reopen. Expensive, but what isn’t these days. Had an excellent chicken dish that reminded me of Ecco - another huge lose for the neighborhood when it closed. — JD on Il Giglio on Greenwich has closed

With some exceptions I almost never see any customers in the luxury stores at Brookfield. — C2 on Seen & Heard: Subway stair is closed at West Broadway and Chambers

Never happened — Tribeca Citizen on Carnegie Diner & Café and Delos Greek Restaurant coming to 200 Chambers
