Thank you — PATRICK Valentino on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks

Thanks so much Pam. You certainly do a great job in keeping the neighborhood together when things elsewhere are fracturing. I think you help local businesses by keeping us aware of them and also pointing out those things which we may miss. It is a great service and i am sure it takes quite a lot of work. Take care, stay safe and keep on posting!! — Bob on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks

Thank you Pam for carrying on and continuing to make us feel knit together in our wonderful community. — SW on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks

I can also recommend My Wagging Gang NYC, a small dog walking service in Tribeca. The owner, Magda, is wonderful. I've used their services for my puppy Luna. She loves them! It's a great way to exercise your dog and support a small local company. Phone: 646.220.6393 — MME on 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide: Pets!

Indeed. Cheers! — Tribeca Citizen on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks

Thank you, j.! — Tribeca Citizen on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks

if anyone would like to donate their fresh direct bags to a charity, please email me at freshdirectbags@gmail.com. — allison on Plastic bags be gone

Thank you for adding to a sense of community here, through your posts and writing, and constructive discussions and comments; all the more important in dark times like these. Gratitude for the good in our lives even in troubled times; let's aim for a better future. — Marcus on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks

I am grateful for your amazing journalism. Thank you for all you do for the community. It’s a bright spot in my days. Wishing you a sweet and safe day. — j. on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks

Thanks Pam for the shoutout! Lots of great things from all of our local boutiques! Tis the season to shop local! All of us really appreciate it! — jennifer cattaui on 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide: Kids!

Those bikes should be ticketed for the first offense then seized for the second. Problem is we don't have a traffic cop on the beat to ticket anyone. First Precinct wants to do nothing or as little as possible. Call Whole Foods to report one of their electric bikers ideally with a photo or even better a video of the sidewalk speeder & BCC it to Councilwoman Margaret Chin & Community Board 1. — No Privatization on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods

So long as the bikes stay off the sidewalks, I'm all for it! It's become so dangerous these days with delivery people riding their electric bikes at high speed down the sidewalk because they don't want to follow the flow of traffic, or want to avoid the cobbles. We don't need any more of that. — DeeDee on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods

"still WORK a look." ??? If you need an editor, I'm available. — Ann Zemaitis on In the News: 456 Greenwich on track for April 2022

Putting on your hiking boots and get that card ready! ;) — Tribeca Citizen on 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide: For the Home II

Those numbers sure are bouncing and up. I’m having a very hard time experiencing neighbors and people in general behaving as if to forget the spring ever happened here in the city. Be safe, wise, and thoughtful everyone. — j. on Where we are on the virus

Rode 1st priority, and actually 1st e bike on lake tahoe/up the Truckee river few years ago, and really enjoyed it. Back in Tahoe now and hoping to find open bike rental or bike shop with priorities again. — Tom mcnatt on Made in Tribeca: Priority Bicycles

Thank you for these posts! I was an early adopter of online shopping (back when I was in my office 14 hours/day) and have been trying to cut back for years. This is inspirational and I am looking forward to supporting local businesses and/or local branches of larger businesses. — North Moore 4evah on 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide: For the Home II

Oh please. You mean those lumbering gasoline trucks which deliver the food those human and electric powered bikes deliver. You do know those trucks will have to dock elsewhere right? Where do you think the store stock comes from, thin air? How are the objections "fatuous"? Say a business rents out a space which stretches an entire block. Can they get free parking spaces too? I mean how much us Amazon paying for the use of these public parking spaces hmmm? Your contempt for teamsters & truck drivers in general couldn't be more obvious. I am not surprised this corporate, developer shill of a city government privatized these parking spaces to benefit a gazillionaire who pays his workers like crap relative to what he earns & grosses. You people who want a vehicle-free city are overprivilrged prigs who can afford to not have a car yet hypocritically own then yourselves for your commute & trips out of the city. How 'bout we eliminate your parking spaces hmmm? I mean if you live in TriBeCa & work on 23rd Street off Fifth Avenue what the hell do YOU need a car & parking space for it? Love how most of the car-free crowd owns cars & uses Uber/Lyft all the time. Now that the New York Democrats have won a supermajority of the state Senate I hope they tax Amazon out the ass. — No Privatization on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods

Looks like the Whole Foods bike corral got installed after all. It went in sometime today (Tues, 11/24). Info at StreetsblogNYC: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/11/24/dot-installs-lower-manhattan-cargo-bike-zone-despite-community-board-nay/ I'm really happy to see it. Replacing lumbering gasoline trucks with human-and-electric powered bikes means less fumes in the air and more space on the streets. A win-win, especially if, as hoped, this pilot opens the door to deploying cargo bikes citywide. And it's especially gratifying to see NYC DOT blow past fatuous objections and try something innovative and forward-thinking. As for Jeff Bezos: If, like me, you don't like his extreme wealth, please support electeds like AOC and advocacy groups like Tax Justice Now that are working to return tax rates on the super-rich to Eisenhower-era levels. You can work to rein in his and other billionaires' wealth and power and make our streets more human-scale and sustainable at the same time. — Komanoff on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods

The Odeon- One of NYC Amazing Institutions, when Downtown was special and full of creatives. You and your staff do an excellent job and have been for a very long time. They will only be happy when you are gone. More Banks, More Starbucks! Support your local community board- go to Brooklyn. — Tribeca Trent on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

The numbers sure have been bouncing around. 10282 had zero cases for over week about a week ago and has definitely ticked up, but overall case numbers still seem very low. Be safe everyone! — Lisa on Where we are on the virus

Fresh Direct and UPS, among others, have taken ownership of numerous parking spaces in Tribeca. Do the get a free pass? Can I set up an office in a few parking spaces? — Heide Fasnacht on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods

Wow. You think you know someone. There are some quality people at that school and I always thought Ellen was one of them. I can’t believe they ripped everyone off. — Nyc on Park Preschool is closing permanently after 31 years

From someone whose username is one letter. I didn't say travel should be forbidden but since you want to bring in that word yeah, travel should be forbidden because we're in a raging pandemic. Travel can & has spread this virus without a vaccine or cure yet. Too bad you're too stupid not to see it. Mind my own business? How 'bout you deal with I have a different viewpoint than you? Besides that I live in TriBeCa thus it is most definitely my business esp. when x amount of you will return here with the virus in tow possibly. Different types of travel is nonessential travel in the end. Test to see a local family member safely hmmmm...how 'bout seeing that local family member via video? Work? Fair enough but you're disingenious when you tell me the vast majority of people lining up for tests are doing so for work & BTW most employers require a test from their tester or a doctor & many provide the test because they want their current & new employees working ASAP. Btw learn to read cuz I said MOST OF YOU are getting the test so you can travel during a raging pandemic when you should stay put so you don't spread or get the virus or get it then spread it & bring it back here. I am far from miserable - nice self-projection. Spare me your empty snarmy Happy Thanksgiving. And spare me your selfish BS. You have no right to spread this vurus, NONE!!! — Follow The Rules on And so it begins…again.

If you actually knew the rules, as your stupid screen name suggests, you'd know that travel is not forbidden. Tests are required for different types of travel. Some people simply want to see a local family member safely. Some people need those tests for work. Mind your own business. You sound like the most miserable, bitter person. Happy Thanksgiving. — K on And so it begins…again.
