I happened by on the first day they were going to be open for dinner. There were two men talking in the doorway. One walked away, the other was wearing an apron so I talked to him. He said that was our baker who just left. He was very friendly and was excited about the restaurant. I went in and bought a sourdough bread which was excellent. I wish them success. — JSMiller on Patisserie Chanson has opened its restaurant

Sorry but: what does BLM have to do with it? Really inappropriate to just toss in that reference. Are the people you’ve seen shoplifting saying”BLM” to you? I suspect not. It is not the practice of BLM to shoplift or loot. (Not to riot or burn down cities either, as is so often portrayed by right wing politicians and media.) — Anne on Seen & Heard: Book Nook is celebrating a decade

This is sad news. Great product and service which we signed up for after seeing a story about it here at TC. Hope they find funding. — Cd on Farm.One is on the brink of closing

I walk by it on my daily commute and the decadent flower display brings a smile to my face each time - so happy to have a business fill that space, it was empty for so long. welcome to the neighborhood! — urban cowgirl on Patisserie Chanson has opened its restaurant

A comment full of meanness. Why bother? Just don’t go. Sadly everyone seems to think their opinion matters. I welcome the bakery and wish them days of delicious coffee and treats. Afternoons of private tea parties and evenings of good cheer. Bonjour. — TG on Patisserie Chanson has opened its restaurant

I don't get the negative comments above. I visited this space for dinner on Friday and thought it was fantastic. Food was great, ambiance was excellent, and I really like their drink selection. Prices are typical for this neighborhood, so not seeing the issue there. Overall, great addition to Tribeca! — James Seigel on Patisserie Chanson has opened its restaurant

Chanson Le Salon? The name says it all! — R. on Patisserie Chanson has opened its restaurant

What a shame this is. We also have been having deliveries for quite a while and have enjoyed their fresh, mixed and tasty produce. This has all the boxes ticked, sustainable, healthy, affordable and great quality. I hope some 'angel' can come along and invest in them. — Bob on Farm.One is on the brink of closing

One of the most hideous outside spaces I have seen. Sorry but just because you have a corner space doesn't mean you should take over the whole corner with your junk. — k on Patisserie Chanson has opened its restaurant

I had the best steak of my life at Beefbar Paris.This place is phenomenal and I cannot wait. Sorry, Wolfgang’s you are going to have some competition. — Christian on Beefbar coming to former Nobu space

Save the cobblestoned streets of Tribeca..... why live here if you want tarmac roads and modern buildings. Lots of other places to live for that in NYC like Hudson Yards. — William Stredwick on It’s time to fix the cobblestones on Greenwich

"[...] Repealing the SALT cap for two years would cost about $85 billion per year. As we and others have pointed out multiple times, this represents a massive windfall to the rich and affluent. Despite what the SALT Caucus claims, SALT cap repeal is no middle-class tax cut. Ninety-six percent of the benefit would flow to the top 20 percent of the income distribution with the top 0.1 percent getting a tax cut of $154,000 per year, on average. To be fair, the middle class does get something. The middle 60 percent of the income distribution would receive, on average, a tax cut of $37 per year. Even in high-tax states, the middle class gets little. In New York, the top 1 percent would get a tax cut of about $103,000, on average. For those in the middle class, the benefit is just $90, on average. So repealing the cap is regressive and delivers little to no social benefit.

McGillicuddy, good question. I believe you are referring to the state and local tax deduction (SALT) cap as it relates to Federal tax returns. That was Trump's way of "sticking it" to the blue states. I'm for lifting the cap. It would help retain a higher earning tax base to do so, which only helps everyone. We lost a lot of New Yorker's to lower taxation states already. — Brian Robinson on Seen & Heard: Hello! Vietpho is open

The last two times I have shopped at Target, shoplifters have just walked out the door with hundreds of dollars in merchandise. The last time two men each walked out with 4 or 5 comforters. The employees didn’t even react. I can’t blame them, it is not worth them risking getting hurt in a confrontation but it is very disturbing that this is going on so blatantly. — Lmt on Seen & Heard: Book Nook is celebrating a decade

I ordered from them for takeout the other week after you wrote about them opening. I agree that the prices and portions are great! We got the pho with raw beef which is sliced so thin that it cooked instantly when we poured the steaming hot broth on top. We will be back and often! — JB on New Kid on the Block: Hello! Vietpho

Ah, right, granite! Thanks Robert. I'll try to find out how that strip came to be (unless you already know?). — Komanoff on It’s time to fix the cobblestones on Greenwich

I often bike on that part, and I believe it is a smooth stone like granite? — Robert Ripps on It’s time to fix the cobblestones on Greenwich

Pretty much what I was going to say, but I was going to mention Vestry between Greenwich and Hudson! Seems like all the streets done 80-100 years ago are in better shape than the ones done only a few years ago. What did they do differently, and why can't they do that today? Also, not that I would ever admit to it in a court of law, but I feel safer biking the wrong way down Washington from Canal to Hubert than going the legal way down Greenwich... — Robert Ripps on It’s time to fix the cobblestones on Greenwich
