Why in God's name is this place still open? It is a safety hazard! NYC DOB or FDNY- do something! — BK Girl on The fireplace at Tiny’s is still causing trouble
What gets me so upset about the yearly fires at Tiny's is the lack of enforcement by Ladder 1. The DOB, DOT, DEP and Landmarks made Edwards,The Odeon ,Max and all the other historic buildings on West Broadway jump thru hoops to abide to the NYC rules and regulations. Why do they all turn a blind eye to Tiny's? Tiny's never got permission from Landmarks to install that aluminum chimney flue- which you can see from the street, or to paint over the original bricks on their facade a two tone pink - one flamingo and one pale pink -not Landmark colors! The DOT has several complaints about the sidewalk shed which is 4 feet from the fire hydrant and forces the foot traffic to step into the busy bike lane in order to get down the street, especially on garbage night. Why do the city agencies give Tiny's a free pass? — Queens Girl on The fireplace at Tiny’s is still causing trouble
Thank you Fire Department for yet again going to Tinys to put out another fire. This restaurant seems to have no regard for the history of the neighboring homes or respect for the people living here now. Must be the owners are living in a safe neighborhood elsewhere where neighbors care about the people living next door. Please start caring before you care that you’re new residence may be behind bars. — Vera Gerharget on The fireplace at Tiny’s is still causing trouble
Well that record shows little regard for the well being of the neighborhood. It looks like just a question of time before a catastrophe. Tiny's seems to be thumbing its nose at we the residents . And furthermore while at it what is the deal with their shed? Two pedestrians cannot pass by the shed and the fire hydrant walking adjacent. They have not left enough room on the sidewalk for any foot traffic. As Rodney Dangerfield would say "No respect" — diannetalan on The fireplace at Tiny’s is still causing trouble
There is also an interesting exhibition in the Oculus at the NYC Culture Club Gallery. "In Nature Nothing Exists Alone" is a group show based on the themes related to "... the urgent need to live more responsibly given the Earth's finite resources." (Taken from the statement by Chris Costan one of the curators.) — JSMiller on Seen & Heard: Nova Octo on Duane – for now
How about recreating the historic building that was torn down to make space for that dreary McDonald's box? It was identical to the still existing cast iron building across the street. Built in 1869, they became known as the "Thomas Street Twins". Oh no, that would be too much to ask for. But might not a clever architect find a way to reference the original building in a new design? Oh no, that would also be too much to ask for too. — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: Nova Octo on Duane – for now
You really shouldn't be quoting streetsblog or taking their research unvetter. He is not a journalist, he is an activist and everything they publish fits their agenda. you might as well print lobbyist. i know you're a neighborhood paper, but beware of just reprinting propaganda. — magna carter on Nosy Neighbor: How many people drive into downtown?
Anyone know what the plans are for the McDonalds that use to be on Broadway. It's become a hub of homeless people who deficit. It's so sad and disgusting to see. — Sandra on Seen & Heard: Nova Octo on Duane – for now
During the late '70s and early "80s, it was not uncommon to see Wendy on the streets of Tribeca. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on The punk history of 84 Thomas
An LLC of which Mark Harounian is the managing member, according to city records — Tribeca Citizen on Highcourt is no longer on the table for Broadway
Nearly every car I see parked on the streets of Tribeca has a placard. That's a good place to start. For one: why isn't every official vehicle at least a hybrid? — troy on Nosy Neighbor: How many people drive into downtown?
What a shame. Who or what entity owns it? — Richard on Highcourt is no longer on the table for Broadway
Ha. It didn't flash or move or come with background music! — Tribeca Citizen on 49-51 Chambers will be a permanent home for the “digital arts”
The M55 bus stop at corner of Broadway and Franklin Streets is no longer in service. Wonder why MTA is making that change. — TribecaMom on Highcourt is no longer on the table for Broadway
There's a story about a couple who went to see a (real) Van Gogh show at a museum and they were disappointed. — Heide Fasnacht on 49-51 Chambers will be a permanent home for the “digital arts”
No.... I will follow you on 9th and Univer... my memories of A UNO in Tribeca.. will last forever:) — Autumn Marie on A Uno will move after 20 years on Duane
16 Handles is a chain with at least as many shops as Van Leeuwen...not exactly mom & pop. Also both of those soft serve/frozen yogurt spots sell very different products than Van Leeuwen. I'm happy they're joining the neighborhood. I have fond memories from the early 90s of leaving PS 234 for the day and getting a scoop at the long-gone Chambers Street Baskin Robbins! It'll be nice for Tribeca kids today to have a similar destination. — Beth on Van Leeuwen ice cream coming to Greenwich
@Elizabeth. That woman's name is Toni and her dog's name is Talia. I believe she's had mandatory training for the dog but I've still seen it attacking dogs and often goes after mine. I typically avoid her if I see her ahead and have seen many other people with dogs do the same. She frequents the bars and restaurants in the neighborhood, dog in tow, and has been kicked out of a few. She lets the dog off the leash often or isn't paying attention. This is a case where its definitely the owner's fault. — R on Dogs are getting shocked on Harrison Street
I've done the same thing. — Cristine Richmond on Seen & Heard: Nova Octo on Duane – for now
Great! — j. on In the News: Renderings for 2 World Trade Center
Great fun! Thank you Friends of Duane Park for all of the wonderful events you do. Thanks to Duane Park Patisserie and Tribeca Wine Merchants for your contributions to this event. — JSMiller on Duane Park celebrates 225th birthday
Sounds great. Hopefully their retail grocery & prepared food selection is solid. North Tribeca/Hudson Square is pretty lacking in that department. — person on Speakeasy coming to Union Bar + Kitchen space
I was there on Friday evening and it was delish! We especially enjoyed the stuffed calamari and the wood roasted oysters. And Marc's sister is a most gracious hostess. — Franklin Foodie on In the News: Renderings for 2 World Trade Center
thank you Friends of Duane Park for this fun event! we live in a great neighborhood! — madeline c lanciani on Duane Park celebrates 225th birthday
This is really scary. I also heard of a woman who walks an unleashed dog around the neighborhood at night and the dog has attacked leashed dogs on two different occasions recently. I was told she had "wild blonde hair" and her dog is a brown dog that is "pretty big". Sorry I don't know more but maybe some other people do and can provide info. I was also told that at least one of the dog owners had filed a report with the police because he was also bitten in the fracas trying to protect his dog. Scary stuff. — Elizabeth on Dogs are getting shocked on Harrison Street
