This will be at 60 pine st for sure. Space is so cool — Alex on Where on Wall Street? Spooky cocktail soiree coming this fall

My family and I are heartbroken to have heard this terribly sad news today. Andrew was a VERY special man and he will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. He was such a kind, sweet, friendly, caring person and I am sending his family our sincere and heartfelt condolences. — Anna S on Andrew Melnick, a Tabak broker who had deep roots in Tribeca, dies at 65

The man was Quintessential New Yorker. I've met him few times and he was very friendly and humble at his best. He will be missed. — Hannah Josiah on Andrew Melnick, a Tabak broker who had deep roots in Tribeca, dies at 65

I got to know Andrew as a client. Year after year we would talk weekly, review real estate ads and chat. Super kind, warm, and a great person to work with. He taught me his matos brei recipe which to this day i cannot quite duplicate. Sending condolences to his friends and family. — Howard on Andrew Melnick, a Tabak broker who had deep roots in Tribeca, dies at 65

So saddened. We were childhood friends. Our parents best friends. My mom -91 will feel sad for her friend’s son passing. So sad. — Amy Elias on Andrew Melnick, a Tabak broker who had deep roots in Tribeca, dies at 65

Yes, Tribeca Trib's police blotter is very informative. It's not only in NYC but all over the country. These are gangs that shoplift. Most are not caught and big box stores might not prosecute at all, it's not worth it for them. Next time you buy something like a beauty product on eBay or a similar site online it's most likely shoplifted. So are small electronics. Caveat emptor! — A. on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

Update in today's NYTimes - we have until the end of the month to snag a final meal - I plan to! "After seven years as a locus of interesting wines and food, this spinoff of a Parisian restaurant group will say goodbye after service on July 30. The present executive chef, Diego Moya, has been on parental leave and feels he now must step away permanently. He is returning to the kitchen briefly from next week until the closing. The owners, David Lille and Pascaline Lepeltier, and the manager Jared David, do not plan to replace Mr. Moya — the restaurant has had several executive chefs over the years — but will develop a new concept and reopen by the end of the year."

for that price, it has to be more than King, perhaps Emperor Crab, with perhaps some subjects, horse drawn carriages:) — S on Sneak Peek: Buddha-Bar

Reading the Police Blotter at Tribeca Trib, it appears Target is the victim of shoplifting several times a week. I'm assuming these peeps are given a ticket, if caught at all, only to return another day. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

I think I'll skip the Whole Steamed King Crab. — G on Sneak Peek: Buddha-Bar

What's this City coming to? Crime everywhere! I'm moving to NJ. — G on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

The Walgreens on Broadway and Park Pl had to have police stationed outside too, as homeless and others kept walking away with stolen goods. — Rich on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

For a while, there were also police stationed inside the Duane Reade at Duane & Broadway, also due to frequent shoplifting. — Sue on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

There have been thefts also at Whole Foods, especially in the cosmetics and health and beauty dept. High-end moisturizers and treatments (that easily add up to thousands of dollars) are now kept locked with only samples on the shelves. The manager of the department told me the other day about the thefts when I was looking for my face creams. — Vale on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

My understanding is that there are dozens of shoplifters caught each month, I have no idea how many more people are getting away with it. It probably is company policy to bring police even if their own staff caught the incident in order to file a formal report. Private security often has its hands tied anyhow, unfortunately — GA on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

If you read the Tribeca Trib police blotter, there are regular reports of people putting thousands of dollars of (usually) cosmetics and toiletries in a bag and walking out. I can’t image how they can carry enough to add up to that, but it seems to be a regular occurrence. — Hudson River on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

While their prices are expensive, shopping at Whole Foods is not really larceny. :-) — James on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

So sad to hear. Andrew helped me rent and buy in Tribeca over the years. He always took a moment to say hello if he saw me walking by the Tabak office on Reade. Another big loss for Tribeca. — alee on Andrew Melnick, a Tabak broker who had deep roots in Tribeca, dies at 65

Sad loss of another good man — Lewis Gross on Andrew Melnick, a Tabak broker who had deep roots in Tribeca, dies at 65

lots of robberies in Target. A homeless woman even walked in naked last month. That is the reason. — Native on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there police cars and officers stationed at Target

Unless the landlord has the legal alternative of covering all or part of the windows in brown kraft paper or keeping the space entirely empty and tidy, I do not see how this program passes constitutional muster on First Amendment grounds, where the state or its designated agents must approve the "art" being posted or the landlord is fined. — james on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

All the facade work is permitted at 325 Greenwich Street. I see no recent DOB filings for any alterations for any first floor business. You would think that with electronic filing, the applications would show up immediately even if they are awaiting plan examination. Sounds fishy. — james on Seen & Heard: Free Shakespeare at The Battery

Southampton’s mayor passed a law requiring landlords of vacant storefronts to display art. A ways of making unused space an asset instead of a blight. Would love it (especially in art-centric Tribeca) if landlords would do this without a mayoral decree! https://www.wsj.com/articles/hamptons-village-requires-empty-storefronts-to-display-art-11611507601 — Mike on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

I fully support this expansion and wish them the best. I only hope they can do something about the acoustics un that space. It was impossible to have a conversation in The Greek even though the food was great. — JS MIller on Estancia 460 will expand next door with a more casual bar

Thank you, James...I'll pass that on to our management. — Marcus on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church
