Some really disappointing and nasty comments here. A man lost his business and that is sad. BS on it not being in TriBeCa because it is on the west side of Broadway and is indeed TriBeCa. And the quibbles about vaccinated vs unvaccinated. Soulless comments. The person who thought the store was dirty also drove in their unimpressive opinion. I personally thought they were very nice people who were trying very hard during an untenable situation. Before the vaccine they did not inflate their pricing and stayed open at their own peril for us. I wonder who and what many of my neighbors have become. Very sad to see yet another local business close. Wishing them best of luck. — TG on Prime Essentials is going out of business

Rent increase. Sales are down. Wrong economics. Slow location. — perry Rothenberg on Prime Essentials is going out of business

Way to go B . Maybe one of these days Charlie will buy me a beer ( still waiting ) . Now let’s make sure the jerk upstairs gets major jail time . — Harper on TCQ&A: Puffy’s Brendan O’Shea

I now live across the street and this is devastating. The owner told me that the landlord was going to increase the rent and with the latest wave of the pandemic they just couldn’t make it work. All the landlord had to do is loop up and down this stretch of Broadway and see almost all empty storefronts; what a shame. Anyway everything is 20% off (except beer) and some stuff is 50% off so stock up. They will be open until early March. — FiDiGuy on Prime Essentials is going out of business

Sorry to hear about both this store and Hudson Pharmacy.. I am not in the neighborhood any longer but shopped in both., especially during the pandemic. And always sorry to see any place close. It's a loss. — FIDIGIRL on Prime Essentials is going out of business

Spoke with the owners on Sunday, they are devastated that they have to close but they are not meeting their margins. Went from 25 employees to 10. The building give them limited Covid rent abatement. Rent continues to be $50k+ for the space, will likely sit idle for much longer than 6 months. Store will officially close at the end of March — MP on Prime Essentials is going out of business

Thanks for the info about possible 9/11 benefits for uterine cancer. Please keep us posted. — Janet on In the News: More gallery updates

would be good if TC would help us using their website for a petition! — Alessandro on A new Citi Bike station lands on Hudson

Brendan is a superstar! Puffy's is the heartbeat of Tribeca. Thanks for the shoutout! — Lola Tribeca on TCQ&A: Puffy’s Brendan O’Shea

Brendan is everything beautiful… ! — ellen koenigsberg on TCQ&A: Puffy’s Brendan O’Shea

The Citibike project, and the location of these docks, has been a topic at the CB1 Transportation Committee for the past two months. Meetings are still being held online. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/manhattancb1/index.page Please come to the transportation board committee meeting, join the discussion, and voice your concerns/proposals. — Illegal to ride on the sidewalks on A new Citi Bike station lands on Hudson

Oops, sorry, typo. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Local restaurants expand uptown

One of the very best in the city. Always up for a chat and a good laugh. Love you Brendan. ❤️ — Puffy’s Regular on TCQ&A: Puffy’s Brendan O’Shea

I love the idea of residents-only parking; you are right, most cities have this and it would be incredibly helpful! — urban cowgirl on A new Citi Bike station lands on Hudson

Brendan is a great bartender and personality at Puffy's! One of my favorite places to go in Tribeca! All the bartenders are terrific and the Jukebox brings me back to a time that no longer exist. When the melting pot of working class, artist, Bohemian types lived down here and the occasional movie star that no one paid attention to. See you this weekend Brendan! — NATIVE on TCQ&A: Puffy’s Brendan O’Shea

Hotel Indigo is at 120 Water Street, not Wall. The new Wall Street Hotel (not yet opened) is next door to the south, at the corner of Wall and Water. — Manhattanmommie on Seen & Heard: Local restaurants expand uptown

What do you mean by private parking? This is free public parking for the community. Definitely a matter for the Community Board however they don’t seem to be particularly attached to reality. — Alessandro on A new Citi Bike station lands on Hudson

Private parking (even though I own a car) is not my cause -- sorry! — Tribeca Citizen on A new Citi Bike station lands on Hudson

I have been in the neighborhood just short of 10 years. The management of our neighborhood by the City and specifically department of transportation is nothing but tragic. Our actions, even worse. The neighborhood is a residential enclave, where 90% of the real estate is indeed residential. The parking regulation on 80% of the streets of Tribeca is “Truck Only” or “no parking at any time” or “no parking 8 to 6”. This makes no sense whatsoever, and what hurts me the most is the resignation of the Tribeca citizens. Those, like me, willing and able to spend on a garage, accept the status quo, those who don’t have the luck of having a garage seem to be accepting their faith. Restaurants took away a great chunk of parking, two additional citibike stations, one on Hudson one on Washington, completely useless, took away another 15 spots. Continuous movie productions close out street parking on a weekly basis. Nobody says a word. On top of this, NYC is the only city I’ve lived (Milan, London, Geneva, Vienna among others) that does not provide its (high tax paying) citizens for “residents only parking”, one of the most basic rights. Instead every morning 8am we assist to a fight between spoiled workers coming from out of town and a variety of different “commercial vehicles”. I encourage this community to get together, to raise the issue as high as possible with the department of transportation and to propose to become the first experimental neighborhood for licensed residents’ parking tags. Change is always possible, but it doesn’t happen by accident. I hope the admins of TC will reach out and initiate a motion through this community. — Alessandro on A new Citi Bike station lands on Hudson

I'd be shocked if the space isn't vacant for at least 6 months. Turnover on vacant retail is horrible in the city, especially for a space that size. Would love a Trader Joe's or something, but that space definitely isn't big enough. — MJ on Prime Essentials is going out of business

Does anyone know if the space is being taken over by another store or if it will be vacant? — Randy on Prime Essentials is going out of business

As opposed to Amish Market, where you'd find expired things on the shelves... — james on Prime Essentials is going out of business

Sad they went out of business, but also a filthy place where you'd get home and find things expired — MF on Prime Essentials is going out of business

Yes! We should round up all the unvaccinated (it wouldn’t be hard to sift through who is and who isn’t vaxed because most people are now trackable via vax passports) and put them in camps!! — Sarah O. on Prime Essentials is going out of business
