the clip on Gee Whiz with Chris's son made me cry. So happy to see the outpouring of love and support for my favorite diner in my neighborhood since I moved here 30 years ago. — New York on In the News: More than 15 minutes for Gee Whiz

Everyone would love to restaurants thrive in this city. The “stop the crime talk” is what not only me but most of us who live here are feeling. We slowly going back to the 70, 80s once again. People are fleeing the city not only because business left but because of the rise in crime. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. So I voiced mine. — Native on Vague plans approved for restaurant at 181 Duane

Please stop the crime talk. Economic distress brings a rise in criminal activity. We know that. It will calm down. However, I don't want to give every restaurant in the neighborhood the right to have seating on the sidewalk. The general rule used to be no seating on residential side streets. We of course relaxed that rule during the past year so restaurants could survive. I also know there have been exceptions and places that were "grandfathered" in, but I would hate to see this "urge to return to normal" lead to an abandonment of that general rule - no restaurant seating on residential side streets. — G on Vague plans approved for restaurant at 181 Duane

I am happy for them. I am sure they will work it out with the community board. They been very nice to our community. A nice addition to our neighborhood. .But I just have to say, do have to call them out for serving " illegal " Margaritas for months? I am sorry I cant hold back. With all going on in this city, empty store fronts, people moving out. The crime on subways and on the streets! Our city might not even survive this. You need an article about how many hotel/shelters with mentally ill people our so called Mayor put without consulting the community board in FIDI. and all around downtown. Now that would be great article to write about. All around our schools and communities that it isn't safe to walk anymore. . Our city is in a downfall and your mentioning Illegal margaritas haha! — New York on Vague plans approved for restaurant at 181 Duane

I have worked in the DC 37 building for 30 years. The BONY is very unfriendly. Briefly you could get coffee in the lobby, pre-9/11. I tried to go to a blood drive there, you would have thought I was one of those disease carrying folks referenced above. The guards are unfriendly. Our guards are very friendly, allow construction workers to use our 1st floor bathrooms and our canteen. Now we are getting renovated and will be back in 2023. I use the citibike racks there. Remember when they tried to boot out one of the cart vendors because of their sidewalk sheds? They should be required to hold up their end of the deal. Make their security on the second floor and the lobby public. They won't need as much office space now. — Mom2Nyc on BNY Mellon seeks to eliminate the public lobby space at 240 Greenwich

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
