Is tinys also closed for renovations? I noticed black paper over the windows and no outside tables anymore. — Valerie on Sushi of Gari is closed for renovations

The move says more about Deutsche than about Wall Street, really. They had to downsize their office because their US business has been on the decline for years, from a combination of their own misconduct and disadvantages which have affected all foreign banks trying to do business here. There are plenty of layoffs which have occurred over the past years and they no longer could justify such a massive building. It would be sad, but then again, it’s Deutsche… — GA on In the News: The last bank leaves Wall Street

Will the moving of the Deutsche Bank offices include removing the subtle memorial plaque near the fountain in the front atrium? Hope not, — Dellin Betansaze on In the News: The last bank leaves Wall Street

We will have to start referrring to our neighborhood as Tribeca Proper LOL! — TribecaMom on New Kid on the Block: Live Axe

Unbelievable. Is this from The Onion? Maybe they will open a place actually in Tribeca. — Jezz on New Kid on the Block: Live Axe

Scott was such a kind and caring man - together with Vivian, they showed tremendous love and affection to our dog Maddie (and us as well)!. To actually have Maddie be excited to be picked up by either of them was such a great feeling and a testament to their warmth and kindness. Scott will be missed but not forgotten. And of course our thoughts and love go out to Vivian - she always has a big smile and kind words to all of the two and four-legged Tribeca neighbors! — Alexander Wolfman on Scott Geyer, local artist and dog walker, dies at 69

Alcohol + axes: What could go wrong? If a bar brawl ever breaks out, there might be some Game of Thrones-level carnage. Is armor provided? — Marcus on New Kid on the Block: Live Axe

Thank you! — kl on Cafe Clementine finds a new Tribeca home on Greenwich and Duane

I keep repeating “ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG” to try to understand that Scott is no longer with us. I had the honor of being his neighbor/ friend for many years. He always had a smile and something kind to say. He was a bright light to so many people and dogs in the neighborhood . His heart was as big and tall as he was. His presence will live on in my heart and his spirit will continue to grace us in his neighborhood. Hugs to amazing Vivian, you were truly soulmates. Know that you are loved and Scott is forever watching over you. — Francine Civello on Scott Geyer, local artist and dog walker, dies at 69

Sooo sorry to hear this tragic news, he was a great guy our heartfelt condolences to Vivian — Ted, julia & kampala ryan on Scott Geyer, local artist and dog walker, dies at 69

I will miss our baseball talks about the Yankees, we would talk about 10-15 minutes analyzing them. He was a wonderful guy ! — JOSEPH BASTIDE on Scott Geyer, local artist and dog walker, dies at 69

We have lived in Tribeca almost 30 years so have seen some fairly significant changes. Sadly, one of them has been the closing or moving out of too many great restaurants. So stop the insinuations because everyone knows Forgione doesn’t need to buy his Likes. — Vale on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

You'll be able to do all of that in without paying tolls by taking the train, bus, sidewalk, or bike path. Which would be better for the rest of us. One less car crowding public space, blocking emergency vehicles, honking, threatening pedestrians, throwing up asphalt and rubber particles, and blowing out exhaust. Also, you'd wouldn't crash your car into anything or anybody, the way New York drivers do 8 thousand times a month or so. — Stephen on Verrazzano Bridge toll will soon go both ways

First, thank you "Dana and Kevin" for providing the truly local perspective - and for supporting Marc's effort. "Lifelong Tribecan" - I am not quite sure where to begin with your random and unfounded response. First off, by responding and engaging, you are by definition a random person on the Internet who cares about this decision - thus contradicting your supposition that we must be getting paid to engage - as Tribeca Mom astutely posits, could it be you who is getting paid to write total drivel? As for all of your hot air about liquor licenses etc - this is about a restaurant and not a nightclub - like TM, I have been eating in that space since Danube - and have followed Marc around from the days he cooked with his dad Larry. Music blasting until 2am? In all of those years, I have never seen what you describe - what I have seen are sated customers walking home to their nearby apartments. As a member of the community I want the Community Board to take my "needs into consideration" which begins with wanting a vibrant neighborhood with delicious and restaurants that I can walk to owned by responsible members of the community like Mark Forgione. Like TM - I will continue to support Marc at his new location - and continue to enjoy the food at Khe Yo as well. Lifelong Tribecan, perhaps the time has come for you to change your name to "Former Tribecan" as it seems you do not enjoy the neighborhood to the extent that the rest of us, who took time to comment here, clearly do. — Peter Balis on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

If Target wants police protection on site, it can avail itself of the NYPD's Paid Detail Unit at is own expense, like Duane Reade has. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/duane-reade-hiring-off-duty-nypd-officers-amid-sharp-spike-in-shoplifting/2292554/ — James on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

Have they resumed construction on 45 Park Place? It seemed like it has been abandoned for over a year and there is still a very tall crane up there. I remember one extremely windy day seeing that crane blowing and spinning around... seems like its just waiting for a disaster. — Michael on In the News: Edibles supper club coming to Spring Studios?

I'm with Tribeca Mom: "Lifelong Tribecan" is the one who doesn't sound as if lived here last century. I know I have. If you think I'm a paid troll think again. Of course, you can think anything you like: doesn't make it true. You write "no way random people on the internet care about this community board decision." That could be true, but what about Tribecans who read The Tribeca Citizen daily. We're NOT random people, but Tribecans reading about our neighborhood. You might think about that possibility before you accuse people of being paid phonies. PS I've never eaten at the restaurant in question, so that has no bearing on my point of view. — Ben on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

Nice spot. Just need to figure out area/space for take out and will be even better. — j. on New Kid on the Block: Bluestone Lane

Boy do I too miss Delphi! Still have a menu. — Ben on New Kid on the Block: Bluestone Lane

Good point about stolen goods. There are many articles about this issue online. Beware. For example: "Online Bargains Might Be Stolen Goods Retailers estimate that one-third of auction and blog sites' listings for "new in box" or "new with tags" items are actually stolen goods." https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/online-bargains-might-be-stolen-goods-n110166 — Marcus on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

Actually you sound like the paid troll. As a follower of this blog from the day Erik first launched, I recognize most of these contributors as frequent commenters and very passionate about the neighborhood and their neighbor's concerns. Anyone who has lived in Tribeca for a while knows that restaurants (not clubs) are a mainstay of the neighborhood. Good respectful establishments such as Marc Forgione's 3 restaurants are welcome in Tribeca and he has a proven track record as a great neighbor. The space where Marc is moving, as any lifelong Tribecan would know, has been an upscale restaurant for years. David Bouley's Danube occupied the space when I first moved here and I have had the pleasure of dining at each of the sucessor restaurants over the years and look forward to visting Marc's new place when it opens. — TribecaMom on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

Agreed. When we moved to Tribeca in the late 70s, Delphi was one if the few places to eat in the evening. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on New Kid on the Block: Bluestone Lane

Happy to see this, but miss Delphi every time something new goes into their old space. Miss old Tribeca! — Sam on New Kid on the Block: Bluestone Lane

So you're saying it's wrong for police to station themselves where crimes are being routinely committed. Or are you "woke" enough that shoplifting =reparations? — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

Words fail me regarding this tragedy. Scott was probably the kindest, sweetest man I have ever met. He and Vivian were truly a dynamic duo. They have taken such wonderful care of my late dog Grover and my dog Wally and have become such dear friends over the years. Scott was truly one in a million and all that met him should count themselves lucky. I know I certainly do. Lots of love to Vivian. — Bree Harlin on Scott Geyer, local artist and dog walker, dies at 69
