I heard back from Downtown Alliance. The program is on hold. Oddly, they said it was because Sanitation Dept is postponing the collection of food scraps. Very confusing. — S on One more push for composting

We need this in TriBeCa! I won't be going every week, but will be there a lot! This has to b e supported... Everyone loves Greek food and the vegetarian switch is so much tastier than I had expected. Such a great transformation! Loving it.. — Vege on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

Welcome back VCafe! — BPC16 on Seen & Heard: Viet Café opens tomorrow

Bravo!! The earth and animals could use a break from being tortured for human greed. TriBeCa desperately needs more veg/ vegan options - excited to support this fantastic decision. — Robbie on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

Great! I'm all for more vegetarian and vegan options in the neighborhood. Looking forward to checking it out. — Marcus on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

"The measures — Question 3 and Question 4 — were backed by a plurality of voters in New York City, though at least 200,000 in the five boroughs left that part of their ballot empty. "However, the provisions were staunchly opposed in many upstate counties — including in Erie County, home of the heavily Democratic city of Buffalo. Neither measure had more than 40 percent of the vote. "A third measure — Question 1 — would have removed partisan requirements insuring that new district maps must receive some support from at least one member of the minority party in Albany, i.e. the Republicans. It, too, appeared headed for defeat with just 39 percent saying yes." https://nypost.com/2021/11/03/ballot-measures-to-loosen-voting-rules-are-big-losers-in-new-york-election/ — James on Christopher Marte wins City Council seat

Pam doesn't have to check any newspaper, she posted the BoE results - BoE is the only info source that matters. — X on Christopher Marte wins City Council seat

The link person posted in the original comment are NYS Board of Elections unofficial results and allow you to see vote totals by county on the ballot proposals. In NYC ballot proposal #1 was approved by a majority of voters in all counties except Richmond (Staten Island), but overwhelmingly disapproved in most other counties in the state. I didn't check #3 and #4, but it wouldn't be a stretch to guess the pattern was the same there. — N on Christopher Marte wins City Council seat

They're state proposals, not city. I guess it's possible the results could change if there are enough absentee ballots that still need to be counted, but 1/3/4 are all rejected as of current counts. Go check your preferred newspaper. — person on Christopher Marte wins City Council seat

You are incorrect. I am not sure what this state link takes you to, but the results from the city BoE are here, and all the proposals had a majority YES: https://web.enrboenyc.us/ — Tribeca Citizen on Christopher Marte wins City Council seat

City worker here and also a member of DC37 union. The dental center is quite dated, glad they are renovating it. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Viet Café opens tomorrow

I work at Citi and we were just given an ultimatum- - get vaxxed or get fired with no benefits. This is tyranny and discrimination against religious beliefs, medical issues, etc. Yes we were advised we would be given the opportunity to submit an exemption form, however, they have yet to explain where to send it. Many are terrified between choosing to feed their families and do something they disagree with for whatever reason. We want to work! But not like this. I have family and friends who cannot get vaccines because of allergies. Their doctors have told them they could die. Can you imagine if a transgender person was denied employment once they revealed they were transgender? Or a woman who had an abortion denied employment because of a choice she made? We are going backwards! Think before you start celebrating forced/coerced mandates! — M. on In the News: Citigroup will require vaccines

Love Greca, we should all support such restaurants to maintain the area. — Love on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

Wish them luck, but bummed about losing the staples. 3-4 times a month will probably dwindle to once — Nyc on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

The new offering is amazing, The Gyro and Santorini salad are off the charts. a welcome change to the dining scene! — S on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

We stopped by for dinner yesterday and thought the new menu was fantastic; kudos to the team for offering (and successfully delivering) innovative and hearty vegetarian cuisine. We'll certainly be making it one of regular neighborhood spots! — Reader on Reade on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

Greca is a Tribeca treasure! Always wonderful, fresh, well prepared food. A go to restaurant for brunch, lunch or dinner. Tom and his crew work very hard at producing quality meals in a cozy and fun environment. — Liz Liscio on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

I’ve been stopping by Greca and the Greek for many years. Tom and his team always go above and beyond to serve great food and create an excellent dining experience for their patrons. There has always been plenty of vegetarian choices on the menu and I look forward to trying the new menu soon! — Rohin on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

Cant wait to try this place.. — Richard on New Vegetarian on the Block: Greca

Very impressive. Wish I could be so fortunate to get a tour! Will be in NYC for Thanksgiving, will most definitely have to take a stroll by. Looks like Mr. Friedman methodically planned/designed this restoration while maintaining it’s originality, bravo. — Jason Doughty on Loft Peeping: The restoration of 51-53 White

This is a bad faith comment! This is the most recent data available and I'm sure you're aware that Duane is not closed 24/7. I also don't know how this would change *anything* from the above statement. If you'd like to explain in more detail any hypothesis you have I'd be happy to have a data-based, factual conversation. — DB on Citi Bike station on Duane will move alongside park

How long will the swimming pool be? I am a lap swimmer, and I look for a hotel with a full length lap pool. Thank you! — Ronald Mis on An update on the luxury hotel coming to 456 Greenwich

If you have a prepaid FedEx shipping label , you can drop your package off at Duane Reade on Greenwich St. FedEx picks up there once a day. These labels often come with things you buy and want to return. There is no charge. They will scan the code and you will have it on your phone for reference. — JS Miller on Seen & Heard: Battery Park as Native lands

It says something when a candidate is willing to take the time to answer questions in a forum like TC as much as it says something about a candidate who doesn't. — Franklin Foodie on TCQ&A Election Edition: Maud Maron
