Came out of the barbershop next it this morning and the Clementine doors were opened and it looked like work started/was about to begin. — paul on Cafe Clementine finds a new Tribeca home on Greenwich and Duane

I checked in at the end of June, and they hoped that they would have permits in hand by now. The lease is signed; they are waiting on the landlord to file. So the goal post was Labor Day, but now maybe pushed back?? — Tribeca Citizen on Cafe Clementine finds a new Tribeca home on Greenwich and Duane

There is NO Mansion on Wall Street that I can think of. The only empty spaces that could possibly work as a venue for this type of event, would be the old Bank of New York and former home of the Museum of American Finance at 48 Wall and the old JP Morgan Branch at 23 Wall, but neither would qualify as a Mansion. 70 Broad, on the other hand could fit the bill, but I have another option. The Down-Town Association Building at 60 Pine. It is a (kind of) mansion and they have thrown many a theme party there in the past. I think this may be the spot. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Where on Wall Street? Spooky cocktail soiree coming this fall

Our building was thinking of putting large planters in front, large enough to hold certain kinds of pottable trees. I've seen massive planters on some streets in the area, but we have to find out about the city codes or permits/regulations that might apply — Marcus on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

Swell can always be sweller. — Marcus on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

NYC is famous for regenerating itself. There will be new stores, new businesses, but it won't happen overnight. As long as NYC is not filled with too many ill-informed (I'd say ignorant, but why bother to state the obvious) inhabitants UNwilling to be vaccinated, then relief/recovery is on the way! — Ben on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

Marcus: So now you know why no more trees: end of story. Can't plant a tree over a street vault and for good reason. — Ben on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

Count me as another vote in favor of Archie Bunker's infamous retort to all those (if there's even more than one) objecting: STIFLE YOURSELF! Or failing that, move to suburbia and feel free to roll up the sidewalk at 9:30. On other hand, I doubt any on those objecting will ever see any of these comments and with a little luck: IT WON'T MATTER! — Ben on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

Any news on when Clementine will open? Doesn't seem like there has been much movement. Thanks! — kl on Cafe Clementine finds a new Tribeca home on Greenwich and Duane

Personally I love seeing people “rolling” down the street. Reminds me I live in NYC and not some suburb. — TG on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

Sounds like a great plan for them. Excited to see what the future brings. On an unrelated note, the new hotel at 456 Greenwich has removed construction netting and revealed the Greenwich St-facing facade. It’s a stunning addition to that area—the brickwork came out beautifully. — person on Racines will reinvent itself in the fall

Love this and can’t wait for them to open! — Lori on Estancia 460 will expand next door with a more casual bar

Just got email that Racines will close. Last day of service will be Friday July 30th. Sad to see Pascaline, Diego, Jarrod and team go. — Karl on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

I have no inside information, but 70 Broad seems like the most likely option. Also known as the American Bank Note Company building, this "mansion" is five stories and always has a "For Lease" sign outside. While technically not on Wall St, in is mere blocks away and within sight of the NYSE. — Joe on Where on Wall Street? Spooky cocktail soiree coming this fall

Great news! I wish them much success. Can’t wait for it to open. — Chris on Estancia 460 will expand next door with a more casual bar

We love Racines and will continue to support what is a true gem. Also support Hair Studio and Blue Spoon. Would love to see some galleries and more pedestrian pathways (although that section is a main artery to/from BB). — Karl on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

Will they let over 65's in if they carry I.D.?? — Bob on Estancia 460 will expand next door with a more casual bar

Love this response. — Patrick C Valentino on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

My husband and I live in the building that Chef is moving his restaurant to. We have been patrons of Forge (we still reference the original name) since it's conception. It is a fabulous space filled with friendly people and exciting food. We are so glad that this beautiful facade and incredible, pre-war, space will be recesitated with his presence. This may be a residential building but no Manhattan block is a residential block. Good luck to Marc and his team! — Dana and Kevin on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

We have lived across Reade Street from Forgione since Marc opened, and we have never had a single reason to complain. We will miss their elegant presence on our block. — Jean on Marc Forgione will leave Reade and move to Hudson

support our small local businesses, so this is good news — Patrick C Valentino on Estancia 460 will expand next door with a more casual bar

Philly pretzel never opened Kaede moved to fidi — Alex on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church

Yes, I do love the proliferation of art galleries here in the area. Even just walking by them is always interesting to see what's new through the windows, and often I am drawn in to explore the works further. I feel very fortunate to have so much art on display in such close proximity, and free for the viewing! — Marcus on The Anatomy of a Block: Chambers between Broadway and Church
