I sent a message to Gael... — Tribeca Citizen on The 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide Complete!

Did The Hideaway close temporarily or permanently? — ??? on The 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide Complete!

We live down the street and are THRILLED to hear this. We will certainly frequent the store as there is nothing like it in the area! — B on Coming Soon: Dinners to go in the old Baked space

Thanks for including How to Dress an Egg! Signed copies are for sale at the restaurant! — Ned Baldwin on 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide: Books of Tribeca

I'm happy Thomas is moving ahead! I wish him well and plan on picking up meals there no matter what he calls the place. :) — Jolene on Coming Soon: Dinners to go in the old Baked space

Good recall!! But the cafeteria at 60 Hudson would have been the Brown Derby. Am I right on that? The Odeon opened in 1980 and took over Towers Cafeteria. — Tribeca Citizen on Local Business Update: Walker’s

Hi - I used to live on 144 Chambers Street back in the middle of the 70's with a friend of mine. We lived in a loft and it was a two or three blocks walk from our home to 60 Hudson Street - where we worked at for the Defense Dept back in the day. We used to hang out at Barnabas Rex - which was a small bar but it did have a pool table and juke box ad lots of artists, writers. Those were the days my friends! The woman that owned the Barnabas Rex was Louise and she had a honey called Frank. I remember Andreas, Kevin and a few others. There was another bar in that area and I believe it was called McGovern's Bar. There was a cafeteria on the corner of 60 Hudson St.and it was called the Odeon but then it got some status and the prices went up. There was also a place that sold fresh eggs and near that place as well. There was a company called "SeeFactor" as well and I believe there were music and movie business. PS - I am going back to from the early days of the mid 70's. Those were the days my friends! Thank you for reading this. — Deborah Roller Hartley on Local Business Update: Walker’s

Santa should be careful re: that route especially Church & Greenwich. — Frosty on Seen & Heard: Holiday events starting this week

Do stores still sell turkey soda? LOL When will someone sell straight up pickle juice? — interesting on A barrel of seltzer? Pickles in a can?

I wish they can bring the old workers back worked there for 15 years but due to pandemic we all had to stop working — Joyce on Local Business Update: Walker’s

Landlords on their over priced commercial leases are destroying NYC unique character, which is incredibly short sided. We will be left with just big box stores and eating at McDonalds. Please Commercial Landlords think of what you are doing to our city before you completely destroy NYC character. This is Tumpian behavior. JCR — jean-claude ribes on Pearl River Mart will close in the new year

Thanks to Joanne, our family can set a killer dim sum table, has gifted many-many birthday/house-warming/white elephant/advent calendar presents, kept ourselves and guests in stylish slippers, and can pack an enviable picnic tiffin. I loved what Joanne was doing to feature emerging Chinese-American artists in the Walker St location - so cool and vibrant! Pearl River is a neighborhood staple that has supplied downtowners with household essentials for decades. The Chelsea location is a lot of fun, but I am hopeful that they will open a new spot when the dust settles. — Jolene on Pearl River Mart will close in the new year

The space is cleared out :( sadly seems like they didn't make it although I haven't seen an official communication — Reade street on The latest on Savida

That is a posting from their 2017 move. New deets are not yet available. Love this place, loved them even more in their previous huge space. Miss being able to sip tea while observing the crowds. — Bynorthemore on Pearl River Mart will close in the new year

They have had five leases since they opened in '71. And in her letter on the blog, Joanne says they have secured a new space and will have details after the holidays. — Tribeca Citizen on Pearl River Mart will close in the new year

It was easy, but as you say -- festive -- and Robert Ripps beat you to it! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in (not really but close) Tribeca?

Considering the world as it is now, the 250 Water Stree project is ridiculous. In the 50 years I’ve lived in the area, the seaport has been revised numerous times, unfortunately without much success. We survived the movement created by 9/11. Businesses and residents fleeing the area. Offices turned into residential spaces. Schools finally popping up, both public and private telling us there were many children residing in the area. The additional traffic on Pearl Street, entering and exiting the Brooklyn Bridge would be unbearable. The fabulous public school on Peck Slip, where children need to play in the street would suffer. HHC already has failed with their last remake of the seaport. Businesses already leaving. Nothing contributed to the neighborhood at all, besides ridiculously expensive shops and restaurants that locals don’t use. In my lifetime, I would appreciate seeing CB1 and the Landmarks Comission say NO and do something for the good of the neighborhood — Karen on Community Board 1 agendas for December

Yay! I love Walker’s and have been a customer since the beginning. My family, friends, and I are never disappointed! — Kate K on Local Business Update: Walker’s

Too easy..South Street Sea Port. But a great festive shot. — Vale on Where in (not really but close) Tribeca?

Love Walker's but wish they would bring back the old menu! — Laurie on Local Business Update: Walker’s

Really!? The original store was on Catherine St? When was that? I remember in early 90's they were at a 3 story space on the block where the Canal St Verizon store is located. Are they moving to another space in the neighborhood? — TribecaMom on Pearl River Mart will close in the new year

Oh, thanks for this update! Am with Karen on all of the above, and have observed the opening, then non-opening, outdoor stuff, then lack of outdoor stuff... and really worried. Love Walker's! Need Walker's! . — Susan B on Local Business Update: Walker’s

Thank you!!! We are so grateful! We love your restaurant and staff-and will continue to frequent it. We have lived in Tribeca for over 35 years and Walkers is our go to place. — Debbie on Local Business Update: Walker’s
