Right-o! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?
So happy to reminisce about Erotic Food Co-op. Definitely deserves a place in Tribeca lore. Thanks, Suellen! — Debra McCall on Filling in a few of the historical gaps at 71 Hudson
Sorry to read all the negative comments. Grateful for all the work done by the local community to bring this to the neighborhood. I have only been here for 14 years but truly believe over time, maybe as soon as this coming spring but over time, it will prove a terrific addition. Give the trees and plants a chance and the space little time to settle. It replaced an ugly road full of cars which cannot be the future of the city or planet. The open space alone is a gift. It's always easy not to invest in the open spaces - there is never a real "case" but future generations will be grateful. I really like it. So a big thank you from me to everyone involved. — Fredster on A decade in the making, Bogardus Plaza is open

Thanks for responding, dianne. Didn’t know that. — Hudson River on Nosy Neighbor: Why are there so many dead fish in the river?
I think Khe-Yo has the best food in Tribeca! So glad they are staying open and will continue to support them! — Fans! on Marc Forgione will close for the winter
Yup. It’s shockingly ugly. After all this time. I like the clock but it has nothing to do with the rest of the design. — Janet on A decade in the making, Bogardus Plaza is open
Much luck to Andreas koutsoudakis. Looking forward to having you back again. — Karen on Tribeca’s Kitchen is back open for delivery
Great story. Brought back wonderful memories of Sue Ellen’s gymnastic class my daughter went to probably around 1979 or 1980! — Karen on Filling in a few of the historical gaps at 71 Hudson
Those tireless gardeners! Was a pleasure to walk by and see the flowering through the fencing, spring through fall. — neighbor on A decade in the making, Bogardus Plaza is open
Now that Poet's House seems to be permanently closed, I wonder what will be done with the money? — JSMiller on Seen & Heard: Gansevoort food market comes downtown
Jean, I agree! — JSMiller on A decade in the making, Bogardus Plaza is open
Agreed. At some point people have to take accountability for their own life and actions. — Alena on Boy mugged on Lafayette and White
Dianne Talan is one of the most talented and brilliant artist of our time. She will always remind you of what New York is all about. It is always a pleasure with Mrs. Talan and her husband Dean. May she keep on inspiring more artists to do what they love just like her. — Emily on The woman who painted Chambers Street
Thank you for the correction! Email was announcing the closing of Restaurant Marc Forgione and the chicken dinners at the restaurant. We made no mention or announcement of khe-yo closing in the email or our IG post. But our GoFundMe is for employees of all our restaurants so that’s probably where the confusion is. Thank you! — Cassie on Marc Forgione will close for the winter
Ok! I was going by what Marc said in his email -- it sounded pretty clear that he was closing all three! — Tribeca Citizen on Marc Forgione will close for the winter
I spent many happy hours weeding in the “old” Bogardus garden. Hal Bromm deserves a lot of credit for taking it from totally bleak to something with a bit of green...I know how hard he worked on that. There were a lot of old time neighbors that worked on it.... Nancy Barber, John Willenbecher, and even Nick Tosches. ( we would down our drinks at Reade St. Pub, and head over there for some gardening). We were part of the original re-designing of the space at first, but it became a bit too corporate for us old-timers. I know and like Victoria Weil, and congratulate her, but miss the feeling that it was “ours”, ramshackle as it might have been. — Jean Holabird on A decade in the making, Bogardus Plaza is open
I LOVE this story! like a scene from a movie -so heartwarming. Wishing the school and its students a successful future; what a gift for the holiday! so happy to read this... — urban cowgirl on BMCC chosen for a $30 million grant from MacKenzie Scott
Hi, Khe-Yo is NOT closed! Khe-Yo is remaining open for takeout, delivery, etc. — DuaneStreet on Marc Forgione will close for the winter
Hi Cassie here, Tribeca-born :-) and I work with Chef Marc. Just want to correct the above post that Khe-Yo is NOT closed. Khe-Yo is OPEN. We have just temporarily closed Restaurant Marc Forgione and Peasant for the winter. So please continue to order takeout from Khe-Yo (personally I highly recommend their Pho on a cold, snowy day). And THANK YOU to all of you fellow Tribeca residents for supporting us through this difficult time, I can promise you we (and especially Marc) appreciate it every single day! — Cassie on Marc Forgione will close for the winter
Totally agree. Things like this always happen behind close doors or when no one is paying attention. All the praises are baffling, friends of the designer? CB1 members? The idea of a plaza is ludicrous! Money wasted as usual. — Ruth on A decade in the making, Bogardus Plaza is open
Khe-Yo has been one of our mainstays since this whole thing began, both for delivery and dining outside. They've been the most dependable for delivery of any restaurant we've tried. When we've gone to dine at their very pleasant street set-up, the kitchen has been at its peak--have loved their recent specials, especially the fabulous, messy whole fried fish. Staff, too, has been great. We will miss them sorely. — elliebelle on Marc Forgione will close for the winter
Shut Up Fred and go pick up Bam-Bam in Washington Sq. Park. — Wilma on A decade in the making, Bogardus Plaza is open
Ruth and Karen, I could not agree more. The Seaport Historic District is a remarkable and unique slice of the City's past that should be respected and protected. Unfortunately, our politicians - specifically Manhattan Borough President, Gale Brewer and City Council Member Margaret Chin are engaging in the politics of REBNY inspired "catch-phrases'' - parroting Affordable Housing -MIH talking points (Which incidentally, housing advocates repeatedly slam as germane to the ongoing homelessness crisis) and encouraging developers to bribe their way through the process. Howard Hughes Corp, all too familiar with the perennial financial struggles of the South Street Seaport Museum, is offering their Board $50 million dollars in exchange for support of the outlandishly enormous development which will ultimately destroy the entire historic district zoning protections. MBP Brewer, despite being handed alternative actions to financially support the museum through a long approved and codified mechanism to transfer air rights outside historic districts to create revenue - is taking the REBNY path with HHC - turning over city planning obligations to developers. This axis of evil - between the City, Electeds and Developers must be short circuited now before all of NY is reduced to a soulless city devoid of any character or trace of it's past. While both Chin and Brewer are term-limited and likely feeling untouchable - there are ways to apply pressure through community action. Margaret Chin, is throwing all her support behind her current Deputy Chief of Staff, Gigi Li to take her Council seat next year. Constituency pressure, letter writing, calls to the office will go a long way to show what is at stake. As for Brewer - I have to assume she thinks aligning with the project will somehow gain her favor as she runs YET AGAIN - for her old City Council Seat on the Upper West Side. Where that district's constituency might be interested in how she isn’t fighting for open skies and respectful zoning as nearby Central Park (which lies entirely under its purview) has its own development issues to contend with. Pass it on. https://seaportcoalition.com/ — Megan on Community Board 1 agendas for December
