You won’t go wrong following the antics of TDNYC and his knowledge is just sick. He knows stuff you wouldn’t even think of about NYC. The history bod the city, the streets, the buildings and anything inbetween. You get a cupful of humour bin every video, a few sick plugs, a couple of “ anyways “ thrown in just to wind up the Brits 😂😂😂 — Stevie Galloway on Tour the neighborhood from the comfort of your couch
Can someone take this bird back please he bites and he is very mean to me I love him so much but he is definitly not the type of bird that is meant for a family or meant to be a pet. — india brandmeyer on A flightless bird, and a downtown rescue of what may be a spirit animal
Tom is the best. His tours are both informative and entertaining. I've learned a lot watching his tours. Thank you, Tom. — Mike on Tour the neighborhood from the comfort of your couch
Use to work in TriBeCa, enjoyed walking the neighborhood again. Would have liked more of the streets to be identified, as well as the history. But that aside, this was a fun tour. — Dorothy Lehman on Tour the neighborhood from the comfort of your couch
I just love all these features about the creative history of Tribeca! Thank you! — Kathleen on Catching Up With: Adger Cowans
I agree that an organic, health-minded grocery store like Erewhon in Los Angeles would be an amazing addition to the neighborhood! — Andrea on New bakery coming to the Maison Kayser space
95 years this week, wow amazing! 140, so much history there!! — Cordcutter on In the News: Celebrating the Barclay-Vesey Building
why? because that was what the building agreed to for other concessions in their building. if they dont want those people (with diseases! oh no, how can you even commute to work in such a city!), then they shouldnt have agreed to it way back when. not very hard to understand — nyc on BNY Mellon seeks to eliminate the public lobby space at 240 Greenwich

They have such lovely cafes. Would be nice to fill the empty space here. — j. on Bluestone Lane coffee is on its way to Tribeca
They should focus on mitigating the grisly stench that has emanated from that corner spot for years... — Bynorthemore on BNY Mellon seeks to eliminate the public lobby space at 240 Greenwich
This is the ugliest office building in downtown. It’s an unmaintained eyesore (facade is filthy and hasn’t been cleaned in years) and I’d be embarrassed to be the owner of this place. They should fix the whole thing out of self-respect, they have enough money and shouldn’t be asking for concessions when they already do the bare minimum and keep people out of the public space anyway — GA on BNY Mellon seeks to eliminate the public lobby space at 240 Greenwich
How about a counter proposal? If they stop allowing access to the POPS, they are not allowed to use the bonus square footage they were granted, subject to regular inspections? They, more than most buildings, have been bad actors. Long before the pandemic they closed off the interior space to neighborhood people and were downright hostile to anyone trying to even look at it through their windows. Their security staff would come up to you and try to intimidate you to go away. This happened to me when I was photographing their sign in the window after Erik did a story about them. How dare they! This is yet another bait and switch that has come to characterize POPS. Either they are undeveloped, or as is happening on Water Street, being reclaimed by the building who got the bonus. Creating an outdoor space, while nice, is simply not the same. If nothing else, it cannot be a place of year-round respite. They should be forced to adhere to what they agreed to at the time their plans were approved. It would be great if they would improve the outdoor space, but it’s not an either/or. — A on BNY Mellon seeks to eliminate the public lobby space at 240 Greenwich
That would be great! I love them and now have to go up to the Village. — A on Bluestone Lane coffee is on its way to Tribeca
Where & when can we look for the application to be filled out? — Lisa Modica on Affordable housing announced for 5 World Trade Center
100% agree. As a yoga studio owner, it has been tremendously hard for us to sustain our business and keep the studio afloat. It is very sad to see so many small businesses suffer from lack of guidance and support from the government. It makes absolutely no sense that gyms can reopen, but yoga studios remain closed. Now is actually the time that yoga practice is needed the most - to help cultivate positivity, mindfulness, and awareness. And unlike gyms, yoga studios don't even involve sharing equipments. Students can bring their own mat/props. Sincerely hope we will hear clear guidance from NYC government soon! — Shelly on How will our local studios survive?
As an employee of this building the last thing I want is somebody coming in that I do not know With all the people in New York City that are around, some lunatics, people offf their meds, ,people carrying diseases, why should employees at work every single day have to be subjected to this. There's plenty of other places in the area you can go sit and take the sun and get your coffee and read a book. — Anonymous on BNY Mellon seeks to eliminate the public lobby space at 240 Greenwich
Keep an eye out for all the information in applying. In my experience with friends who have been successful one must have very good credit and be able to follow all financial expectations. Give it a try. Good luck. — TG on Affordable housing announced for 5 World Trade Center
Enough already. Open one yourself. Welcome to the neighborhood Cocoon! Looks like so much fun. It is nice to walk by and see all the activity. — TG on New Kids on the Block: Cocoon
We need a laundromat, not a café. Thank you. Signed, Tribeca resident of 30 years — MGP on Bluestone Lane coffee is on its way to Tribeca
interesting conceptual usage. Neighborhood still could use a real Supermarket. — perry rothenberg on New Kids on the Block: Cocoon
Thanks! I guess when you know, you know. Some buildings have very distinct details that I have learned over the years. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?
Does Mellon own the dc-37 building, or the land outside of it? Why would Mellon have a say in the citibikes, which should definitely not go. There’s 4 residential buildings along the east side of west street between barclay and chambers that use these bikes without crossing west street. There’s nothing else really close. Also there’s already a public space across the street from this proposed project at 111 Murray street. This outdoor area, which looks haphazard doesn’t really seem to accomplish much. Also BONY is always very adamant about it being private property and are very unfriendly to passers by (as evident by never letting anyone inside the POPS). They also say no one is allowed inside the planters currently, will this be same case potentially, this time using the bollards? Too bad about the areas that are clearly defined for parking of vehicles, government vehicles along Greenwich, and tour buses along Barclay. The tour buses always block the crosswalks and signs making it very dangerous to cross as a pedestrian. Does the public have any say in this? BONY/Mellon has been very local unfriendly and this appears to make it more of the same, if not worse. I wonder if they actually own the dc-37 site and or the land around it, and what are the plans for that recently cleared out structure, is this related somehow? As a local, this looks like a hard no thanks. We already have 111 Murray as an outdoor space, and since BONY took over, they’ve never done what they said they would for the public, no reason to believe them now. — Nyc on BNY Mellon seeks to eliminate the public lobby space at 240 Greenwich
Really enjoyed this video. I worked & lived in Tribeca from the late '80s (before it was swanky) up to 9/11 (after it was a perpetual construction site) at which point I moved up to Westchester. Miss the spirit of Tribeca. Nice to see these favorite locations again. And heck yes, Bubby's will always have the best darn pancakes. — David Vogler on Tour the neighborhood from the comfort of your couch
Right!! I'm impressed... — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?
