It's practically impossible to stop these parties until bars, clubs, and concert venues fully reopen – young people will find an outlet to party till 4am, one way or another. Even if you shut one down, they'll just move the sound & light system to a rooftop nearby, and the crowd will swarm there to continue the party. — TH on Reade Street Pub has closed

That building is less than 30 feet from a early child hood education center and 50 feet from JCP another children's center. WILL NEVER HAPPEN! — Sandra on Duane Street Hotel has closed

What? It’s Tribeca-adjacent and in easy walking distance. I think most Tribecans who eat would be interested. — JP on The Tin Building food market is on its way

Turns out I was mistaken about the name! Something Blue was a temporary pop up, not sure of the name of the new cocktail bar, but excited to see something take over the Bin 220 space so quickly! — Kristin on Seen & Heard: Dueling Immersive Van Goghs

I’m glad this is here. It does indeed get busy. I’ve waited for seating a few times around lunch hours. — j. on Ribbon Cutting for Bogardus set for May 27

I thought the same thing!! Fighting to keep these criminals out, keep voting for this destructive party that's what we get!! DeBlasio is no good! — Native on Duane Street Hotel has closed

How is this Tribeca? This is no where near it…I’m more interested in what’s happening to our community — Brian on The Tin Building food market is on its way

adams on yang's remarks after the times square shooting, "For Andrew Yang to stand here and all of a sudden realize this threat in our city. And why? Because of what he stated, 'this happened a block from my house.' Well you know what, Andrew? These shootings have been happening blocks from my house for years and blocks from poorer New Yorkers for years." — josh on Teens robbed at gunpoint in Battery Park City

That building doesn't satisfy any requirements for such a move to make sense. — David G. Imber on Duane Street Hotel has closed

I wish Ray Kelly would run We need law and order Remember days we could walk on esplanade at 11pm and be safe Those days are gone — Sally Wen on Teens robbed at gunpoint in Battery Park City

A sad surprise came last Thursday when I heard that the Reade Street Pub & Kitchen had been sold and that day would be its final day in business. Owner Brian Barasky and the staff always made my blues band that played there weekly feel like heroes and put their patrons on a pedestal. That’s what kept and incredible mix of clientele (cops to wall streeters to artists to city workers to hipsters to restaurant workers to working Joe’s, young to old, neighbors to outer boro, red to blue, and of all ethnicities and colors—seriously) loyal, like I’ve never seen in a bar. You’d sit and watch these diverse groups coming in specific waves throughout each night, each week and intermingle with no judgement and with complete kinship. And then watch them all help close up the bar, night after every night. Like the subway, it was incredibly ’democratic’ and a true reflection of the NYC melting pot experiment. Like family, it was more ‘Cheers’ than ‘Cheers’ and filled a need in Tribeca for the last 26 years. Katia, Diane, Sebastian, Matt, Bruce, Brian and the rest of the staff, we cannot thank you enough, and with the CDC’s lifting of the mask mandate Thursday, gave us first taste of normalcy on their final encore. Love to you all. — Billy T on Reade Street Pub has closed

Thanks for all this important info. — j. on The Candidates 2021: The list to date for the June 22 primary

Over time, the humblest taverns become the most precious. Certainly here. When Hurricane Sandy snuffed the neighborhood's electricity, there was one outpost of conviviality: the Reade Street Pub. Illuminated by candles. You half expected Tribecan James Fenimore Cooper to walk in. The bartenders poured their last booze into plastic cups before the ice cubes melted. Thank you for your service! — George on Reade Street Pub has closed

Seriously hoping DeBlasio doesn’t snap this up to force even more violent criminals into our lovely neighborhood. — Tribecan on Duane Street Hotel has closed

Yang is so wet behind the ears. I don't get why so many are dazzled by him. A likable enough fellow but no way does he have the savy and experience to be the mayor. Scott and Kathryn will be able to know how to work with the NYPD to restructure the funding to include mental health and local teams to work along side the police. Eric Adams is very disliked by the NYPD and for me, the Farrakan connection is unacceptable. Yang's big idea is to bring gambling to Governor's Island - what a horrible idea!!! All in all a packed race with lots to think about. — TG on Teens robbed at gunpoint in Battery Park City

Eric Adams has my vote too. — Susanne on Teens robbed at gunpoint in Battery Park City

@Claude Hersh grow up it’s hard enough opening a restaurant in this environment we don’t need people like you making it worse. Show some compassion and wish them nothing but luck. People like you preach tolerance and then say something ridiculous like that. — Nick L on “Italian food zone” coming to 40 Wall

We left the Verdesian a year ago for Naples, Florida. I have teenage kids whom I NEVER worried about when they were out and about. This used to be the safest part of the City. — Daniel Louzonis on Teens robbed at gunpoint in Battery Park City

Great info, Pam! The BOE website says that the entrance to BMCC will be at 190 West Street, which is the current temporary entrance. — Lisa on The Candidates 2021: The list to date for the June 22 primary
