That rooftop is 25 N Moore. You can see the concrete corner design arches from google street view if you go look from Franklin and Varick. — DB on In the News: 45 Park Place stalled out?

Morgan's would be the last place on Earth I would spend my money in. The last time I was there was on Sept 12th, 2001. Price gauging in the aftermath of the day before. A curse on them. — JH on Nosy Neighbor: Who is running the Christmas tree market on Greenwich?

How about trying a local store - Morgan's Market on Hudson & Reade. — GC on Nosy Neighbor: Who is running the Christmas tree market on Greenwich?

Hello M, let us know how tree hunting goes. I’ve got ours at the “exorbitantly priced” Soho Tree main location the past couple of years and would like to try a new place this year :) Thanks! — Rich on Nosy Neighbor: Who is running the Christmas tree market on Greenwich?

But did you see how much they were paying in fees? $35,000 is a lot of money. Add cost of transporting the trees, salaries, lodging... Maybe the prices weren't so exorbitant after all. — MC on Nosy Neighbor: Who is running the Christmas tree market on Greenwich?

I’m the M in question! We haven’t bought our tree yet but are going to check the Greenwich and Chambers stand. That said, I have a different memory - 4 or 5 years ago I really do think it was Soho Trees in that location. This Tribeca Citizen post seems to suggest something similar, as do the associated comments: https://tribecacitizen.com/2016/12/05/seen-heard-shopping-for-a-christmas-tree/ I have no idea when it would have changed, but I’m happy to give someone different a try. The Soho Trees prices were brutal. — Mg on Nosy Neighbor: Who is running the Christmas tree market on Greenwich?

I would also like to know: If venues like this, and restaurants, bars, and gyms, for that matter, can be open, then why not live music venues? As long as proper pandemic safety protocols are followed, live music venues should be allowed to operate, advertise, charge for tickets, etc. Otherwise this seems quite an inconsistent policy. Musicians are struggling to make ends meet, even more than usual; and many listeners would love to take in live music again. — Marcus on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?

What seems to be forgotten in some of the discussion about congestion pricing is that there are people who live in NYC and don't just pass through to somewhere else or to work in Manhattan. Tolling the east river bridges will just add to our sense of feeling trapped and restricted in our own home towns, if everytime we want to shop local, visit family, work, and enjoy our home town, we have to pay tolls on top of all the taxes we already pay. — Chris on Verrazzano Bridge toll will soon go both ways

Aerosols being emitted from being half naked? Do you know anything about science? Aerosols are respiratory droplets, so even if the stripper is 100% naked and wearing a mask, they are not emitting aerosols. Sweat has also not been proven to transmit anything. Read the CDC website and stop sharing your ridiculous fake science. I'm not for or against the strip club being open, but I am against the spreading of ignorance. — Kristin on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?

N D A, Here is your laugh: Perhaps you have never spent time in a classroom of children under 6 years. Fingers continuously in their noses and mouths and wiped on any nearby surface. And yes, they've learned to navigate under a mask; a pick is a pick and it's never quick. Give me a disciplined adult stripper over a kid in a classroom. BTW, Flash Dancers/NYDolls has been a stellar community business. — neighbor on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?

I thought that this site is for an open exchange of ideas/opinion, A/K/A a democratic norm. Like a town square: it permits free speech. You obvioulsy use it as such and there's no reason I can't. You can disagree with me, as I do with you, but my desire to see NYC return is why I wrote. You choose to attack my motives for doing so: your choice. Feel free to vent: your right and again your choice. My POV is that you believe that you should decide which businesses can open. That you can prioritzie what's needed for Tribeca (and NYC) to return. Of course, you can (and do) vociferously complain that the priorities are wrong. However, that doesn't change them. You're entitled to your opinion NOT your own set of facts. Any business that qualifies can open. It can stay open if it adheres to the 'rules'. Tribeca, as does all of NYC, needs to comply with the guidelines NOT be indignant about the perceived comparative value of businesses. I do not know how the criteria was established for which businesses can open & which cannot. However, unless FLASHDANCERS doesn't qualify under the rules, they have as much right as any other business that qualifies. You don't agree with the rules as enforced and instead complain about comparative merits of different businesses: to each their own. Nonetheless, TRIBECA & ALL of NYC needs to adhere to the rules. — Ben on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?

Just to correct your many inaccuracies: The Parks Department is not building or repairing the staircase. It is property of the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York and they are doing the construction. The court is lit at night because it is open for play until midnight, not so it can be "guarded." No one was trespassing since the park is public property. Nor was it obvious to anyone at BMCC that there was any kind of crime going on. I doubt the safety of a tennis net is their top priority. — Tribeca Citizen on Tennis court net is cut down in dark of night

This looks like the man who has been giving lessons on the court for YEARS. Perhaps no one interrupted him taking the net because they assumed he had the authority to change it. Did the Parks Department file a police report about the net being stolen? Do they have this footage from BMCC? This person should have to at least pay for a replacement net and should not be allowed on the court for a period of time, if ever again. — Eric on Tennis court net is cut down in dark of night

Thanks for the holiday restaurant list--it's truly helpful! — Li Araki on Where to eat in the neighborhood this season

I agree with Ben. If they wear masks how are emitting aerosols. You seem very salty for some reason. This virus is 99.9 percent survivable. For the record I am not pro strip club but I am pro business / anti government overreach. — Sarah Dershowitz on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?

How is a strip club safer than a school? I need a laugh. — Nona D.Above on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?

Warranted criticism because how was this guy able to spend 15 minutes or more stealing a tennis court net between 8 and 9pm? How 'bout First Precinct patrols the neighborhood instead of hanging out at the precinct & next to Nancy Whiskey Pub, or sitting in patrol cars on Staple & Collister Streets (TriBeCans alley-like streets they loaf on unseen.) Sorry not sorry I have a problem with cops who do everything they can to avoid doing their jobs part of which is to patrol & hey, catch stop a crime on progress instead of be glorified overpaid crime scene attendants who show up after the fact. But keep running your Blue Lives Matter cops do no wrong crap. This is TriBeCa Manhattan not New Dorp Staten Island. — NYPDo Nothings on Tennis court net is cut down in dark of night

Are you serious? So by your logic if there was a violent crime in progress BMCC should do nothing because "not BMCC property"? Wow, the park can build a staircase just for BMCC students & staff to enter & exit the park but BMCC can't keep an eye on a tennis court? Report the damn crime to First Precinct? Since the cops didn't show up cuz they're soooo busy. Wack. What about a nonviolent property such as this weird theft if theythief trespasses on BMCC property first? If a thief or vandal got on the tennis court via BMCC property BMCC is liable because their security did not thwart and/or report the trespass. Someone gets on my property through yours & steals stuff on my property you're paying for it (or not - I will see if you would have to pay.) You expect Washington Market Park staff to do what in the middle of the night? Besides how do you know BMCC isn't supposed to guard the property? If not why is the tennis court lit all night? So actually you're wrong, most likely. Lighting the court suggests someone is (supposed to be) watching it besides it's a way to discourage trespassers. — NYPDo Nothings on Tennis court net is cut down in dark of night

Yeah like who? Not Puffy's Tavern, Smith & Mills, TriBeCa Tavern, Another Room, or Nancy Whiskey Pub to name a few. Strippers = almost naked = emitting aerosols = one way covid spreads. Do you get it? Obviously not. Tell you what. How 'bout just one stripper at every TriBeCabar AND restaurant where we make sure she/he is six feet away from you while you're eating your dinner. Have fun with catching the aerosols from the sweat & possible covid from it. — Nona D.Above on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?

And It's my right to oppose a place which has live entertainment which could contribute to the spread of a deadly disease ok? Strippers could give the virus to themselves as well as other staff & customers who can in turn give the virus to each other & the strippers. I don't see a positive to this place opening, sorry. When did this site become some quasi-Chamber of Commerce? Plenty of people have lived in TriBeCa longer than New York Dolls had been in business & again so what they've been around for decades? My point which you obviously missed or want to ignore to be contrarian is if a strip club can be open then so can a live music venue, gym, playhouse, or any other entertainment venue & if they can't be open then neither should a strip club. — Nona D.Above on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?

Hey Tribeca Citizen, I couldn’t help but notice in your local restaurants list, you are missing a couple I have dined at & they have great food! Please add to your support local list. The Roxy hotel ( be sure to catch a piano performance by Michael Garin.....his rectorie is amazing! The food is so wonderful. Also be sure to add the soho diner. @ thenSoho Grand Hotel ...what a variety of food on their menu.....always impeccable service. We all need to do our part to support local establishments. Thanks for writing this article. — Jules on Where to eat in the neighborhood this season
