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

Ok, I give up. Where is he? — C on Where in Tribeca?

I want to add my thanks to all the others for this detailed report. I appreciate the work you've put in and read every word with interest. — Vicki Green on The price of not having telephone poles

Thank you! — Art on The price of not having telephone poles

I am pretty sure that is DEP sewer work, or at least it was this spring. The stack is in support of the work below. Can check... — Tribeca Citizen on The price of not having telephone poles

Thanks for this great update! Have they mentioned anything about the work that they are doing on Warren street (crossing Greenwich street)? They started the work a few weekends ago but then they left it uncompleted with a big pipe with noisy steam coming out. — Art on The price of not having telephone poles

Regarding the Augustine space, I'm 99% sure that I have incredible news. I posted about it last week on FiDi Fan Page.. The applicant for the Augustine space is Dinex. Who is Dinex? It is the holding company for all of Daniel Boulud's restaurants! YES, FiDi is getting Daniel Boulud's newest fine dining restaurant. Stay tuned for more info, but I knew that this space would not stay empty long. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Community Board 1 meetings for September

replying to Mandates. These vaccines aren't for everyone. Do your research. Losing jobs for mandates for people with medical conditions that can not get this vaccine? this is right? Sad — NATIVE on In the News: Goldman will be strict on vaccines

I will get more details, but it was my understanding that the DOT does the cobblestones, not the DDC. Stay tuned... — Tribeca Citizen on The price of not having telephone poles
