  • Did you ever hear back? — LT on Apartments in 50 Murray, 90 West were illegally deregulated

  • Came to the Brandy Library specifically to check out this art piece. Literally no one knew about it. I asked the host when I walked in, knew nothing. I asked several of the bartenders, finally one pointed me to it.. they didn’t know that it would reveal itself.. Maybe I was expecting too much, but shared the story with all of the staff tonight.. — BThompson on Seen & Heard: Rats!

  • Hello Greg, I hope all goes well with you. I was just looking to see about the 9/11 memorials today and somehow ended up on this page and saw the posts re the Hows Bayou - now I am the young Irish girl who worked there from 1986-1988. Not so young now, but my memories of the place are still fresh and wonderful! Such a fantastic place to work, great stff and bosses. Plus, it was one of the owners, Michael Hanley, who took me in as a stranger and gave me the job. And it was Cathy who sponsored me to go to college. So, you can see I have great memories. And I do remember a Greg that dated one of the waitresses who taught me - maybe it was you????? Either way, I hope everything has been ok for you for the past 35ish years. All good here and finally got back to live in Ireland in 2010!!! Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your day, Mo — Maureen Egan on When Tribeca Was Small (Part Two)

  • Amish Market was one of two neighborhood employers of Cardi B... https://tribecacitizen.com/2020/09/17/amish-market-will-close-permanently-this-month/ — James on In the News: We’re not dead yet

  • "In fact, things are far better than the press would have you believe." They always are... press (esp written press) tends to take on a much more negative tone in general. Amish Market was a big draw at lunchtime for workers in the downtown area. Regardless, Amish had wanted out of their lease for years. Lots of infighting with landlord, from what I heard. — Vale on In the News: We’re not dead yet

  • Their original plan was yes to the subterranean spaces, but open to all for the storefront wine bar. — Tribeca Citizen on Community Board 1 meetings for September

  • I believe that I read that the Marriott at 133 Greenwich is reopening and the Hyatt Andaz at 75 Wall has set a date of October 1st for its grand reopening. This is in addition to 6 other hotels that will be opening for the first time elsewhere in FiDi. The press reports on the closures, but rarely mentions the brand new ones, which is so frustrating. They induce the FiDi Hotel on Stone Street, the Wall Street Hotel at 88 Wall, the Hotel Indigo on Water, the Aloft on Rector and the Courtyard by Marriott and the Residence Inn (both on Pearl). It's just a matter of time before another hotel takes over the W spot. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Community Board 1 meetings for September

  • Hello Hudson River, I do my best to make sure anyone that I add is a real person and since you showed up as "new" to facebook, was suspicious. Send me an email at luis.vazquez@compass.com and let me know what name you applied under and I will unblock and add you. :-). — luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on In the News: We’re not dead yet

  • Hey Luis— I’m new on Facebook and tried to join the FiDi fan page and didn’t get a reply and can no longer even access it when I search so that I can just read it. I’m not too Facebook-savvy. Did I do something wrong? Is there any way I can atone for whatever it was and get in? :-) I appreciate your posting here because I spend a lot of time in FiDi (I’m in BPC) and would like to keep up. — Hudson River on In the News: We’re not dead yet

  • Such extraordinary paintings and profound words he shares. — j. on Painter Todd Stone captured the events of 9/11, and every day since

  • Is NY Vintners for members only? — Gail on Community Board 1 meetings for September

  • 133 Greenwich is the closed Marriot. It's interesting they are applying for a liquor license. Are they opening again? — Mary Dierickx on Community Board 1 meetings for September

  • Ok Sherlock Holmes, I can tell you 100% it Daniel. And a year plus is a long time for that space to sit empty. The Beekman should have never let that go. — Bernice on Community Board 1 meetings for September

  • beautiful video, thank you Carl — madeline c lanciani on Seen & Heard: Events to commemorate 9/11

  • congratulations Todd amazing work! — madeline c lanciani on Painter Todd Stone captured the events of 9/11, and every day since

  • Thanks for this detail. It was much needed and we thank you and the efforts of the city to clear the air. I too grumbled every time I walked past that site, especially since, as I wrongly assumed that it was probably all due to damage from the crane accident. I must never assume that there isn’t a larger plan! — Mark K on The price of not having telephone poles

  • Todd Stone’s paintings of the WTC from above are a living testament to the resiliency of people in Tribeca who stayed after 9/11. The sadness and horror we all experienced is now diluted by his wonderful work. Many years ago we worked together and now i cant wait to see his show and say hello. Respect, Dan Alterman Reade Street — Dan Alterman on Painter Todd Stone captured the events of 9/11, and every day since

  • It appears they do! — Kristin on Community Board 1 meetings for September

  • Great paintings- will definitely check out the gallery show! — Robert Ripps on Painter Todd Stone captured the events of 9/11, and every day since

  • These are some very nice pictures of their inside apartment building. I have never seen anything like that before. And I enjoy his art a lot. How can I meet him? — Edward Gelenter on Loft Peeping: The artists Ken Brown & Lisa Crafts

  • The NYT piece was incredibly disappointing and frankly irresponsible in its reporting. Using the Amish Market closing as the bellwether is ridiculous. No mention was made of any of the many new restaurants and retailers that have opened during the crisis. Many more are poised to open soon. Whole Foods (for real this time) is opening next summer, along with a 78,000 sf Life Time Fitness gym next door. Alamo Draft House is opening a 14 theater multiplex this fall at 28 Liberty. Jean George is opening his 50,000 sf food hall this winter at the Seaport. Carne Mare, Bar Ssam, Mister Dips, Saga, Lil Chef Mama, Seaport House, Gnoccheria and others have OPENED during this time. A new Food Hall by Urbanspace is opening later this year at 7 Hanover with 16 new vendors. Yes, some hotels have closed but MANY more are about to open like the FiDi Hotel on Stone, The Wall Street Hotel at 88 Wall, the massive Courtyard by Marriott and Residence Inn on Pearl, the Indigo on Water and the Aloft on Rector. The Andaz recently announced that it would be reopening as well, on October 1st. There was not a single mention of any of these. Luckily, my page reports on all of these things and more, so people know that not all is doom and gloom, In fact, things are far better than the press would have you believe. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on In the News: We’re not dead yet

  • Ahh, yes that piece in the Times was not a complete picture at all. — j. on In the News: We’re not dead yet

  • Ah right, I think Nexus might have a golf driving range downstairs? Guess you have to have a liquor license for that! — Tribeca Citizen on Community Board 1 meetings for September

  • Ha. I updated the post: he's on the south side of Harrison. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

  • 100 Church Street is for the Nexus Club, they have a space downstairs. I stopped by NY Vintners tonight during their very very soft opening, it’s going to be amazing! — Kristin on Community Board 1 meetings for September
