better mouse traps. — perry Rothenberg on Pearl River Mart will reopen in Soho

I can understand the concern to the immediate neighbors. It brings a completely different dimension to the neighborhood. Those price points can signify customer entitlement based behavior but that’s a generalization; please no attacks. Will be interesting to see what evolves. Good for bringing business but challenges too. I foresee it becoming a major tourist attraction. — j. on 456 Greenwich hotel tops out with plans for several bars and restaurants

“You cannot keep shopping on Amazon and think your neighborhood is going to survive, because it’s not.” — Elaine Brodsky, chair of the North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, which recently launched its “Love Local” campaign, complete with buttons." This applies here in TriBeca, too. — Bob on 60 Reasons to be excited about the future

Will be a great addition to the neighborhood. Beautiful design and a nice programming mix. Rooftop cocktails sound lovely with that sunset view down Desbrosses. Rowdiness is always a concern with a new business like this, but the pros certainly outweigh any potential cons and the price point should give people confidence that it’ll be well-managed, not reckless. — person on 456 Greenwich hotel tops out with plans for several bars and restaurants

Very excited to see this photo essay of a neighborhood business! I would love to see more from this excellent photographer! (And also am heading to Fernando’s ASAP for some much needed shoe repair.) — Sara on Local Business Update: Fernandez Shoe Repair

The most unique and fun store in the neighborhood and beyond. We love Balloon Saloon. — Grace on Local Business Update: Balloon Saloon

Unbelievable! Doing a portrait of the Vice President was a challenge...but to have it photographed while working is extraordinary...the results, astounding! Amazing talent! — Dorothy Frederick on 14-year-old displays paintings of Black icons at 200 Hudson

Just saw on Facebook, there will be a Rally to Rise Up Against Asian Hate this Sat 2/27/2021 at 1pm at 26 Federal Plaza. "Join the Asian American Federation (AAF) in speaking out against the anti-Asian violence that has impacted Asian Americans since the start of the pandemic, creating great fear and anxiety in our community. In the past few weeks alone, there has been a spate of assaults on Asian elders in New York City and across the county. These are just the latest in a string of racist attacks numbering close to 500 that have targeted Asian New Yorkers. The City’s response has not been nearly adequate enough to prevent this crisis. We’ll be joined by elected leaders and our members, partners, and allies to urge stronger, community-based action to address the anti-Asian racism and ensure greater, more immediate safety for all Asian New Yorkers. PLEASE NOTE: As the rally will take place in-person, AAF requires anyone who attends to wear a mask and practice social distancing. The rally will take place in an outdoor environment, in front of 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan." — TribecaMom on Pearl River Mart will reopen in Soho

I saw a new sign at the old Baked store front on Church. If I recall correctly, it says "food by Twiggy"? I am not 100% sure. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Coat drive today

Good news. Pearl River always offered more for your bed, bath, and beyond than the national chain of that name. — David G. Imber on Pearl River Mart will reopen in Soho

Let's assume most of us know what 'vegan' means. The query was how does it apply to nail polish? — Ben on New Kid on the Block: Above Pigment

Great story. — j. on 14-year-old displays paintings of Black icons at 200 Hudson

I love Balloon Saloon. The balloons outside on the street corner bring me such joy. I even took a photo of them the night of January 21 as they looked so gorgeous. This store is a gem. I can't imagine it not being here. There is nothing compared to a local store like this. It is one of a kind and can't go anywhere. — j. on Local Business Update: Balloon Saloon

A much-deserved spotlight on Fernandez. He is so professional and kind, and I am always pleased with his work. Congrats! — David on Local Business Update: Fernandez Shoe Repair

How Wonderful!!! — Elenor on Pearl River Mart will reopen in Soho

Thrilled to see my photo essay published along side the wonderful article about Mr.Fernandez. He is indeed a great part of the fabric of the Tribeca community that we all support. I very much appreciate all of the lovely comments! Gracias! — Giovanna Rosselli on Local Business Update: Fernandez Shoe Repair

Excellent shoemaker. Always resole my shoes and replace heels here. Even red soles for Louboutin shoes make them look brand new. — Jill on Local Business Update: Fernandez Shoe Repair

The 'new and revamped', Tribeca Kitchen, great new decor and updated menu is well worth a re-visit. It makes a great counter-point to Gee Whiz. Hope they are both very successful. — Bob on 60 Reasons to be excited about the future

Beautiful! Segundo is the best! A class act. Has made miracles happen with my goods. He is one of the many local businesses I pray will make it through this with our support. — Jennifer on Local Business Update: Fernandez Shoe Repair

I too would like an update. The developers promised to take care of this square and as we all suspected, appear to have shirked on that part of the deal. — Broadway Mamma on Progress at 100 Franklin reveals art in bricks

Happy to be the one to bring them back to Soho — Paul Popkin on Pearl River Mart will reopen in Soho
