Ecco! was closed long before the pandemic was on our radar. Mariachi's did definitely close because of the pandemic. — Tribeca Citizen on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Tribeca Grill is 30 years old this year. 1990. — Tribeca Citizen on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Yes, at the end of the year. — Tribeca Citizen on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Nyc and Tribeca never coming back I know there will be 15 comments denying this truth but reality is Who is gonna live in a breadbox for $3000 up after work at home is basically permanent in every company? I was born in NYC but I must say bring in the country..walking out a door to fresh air ..driving or even walking to a neighbor hood bar, letting my dog out in backyard to poop without having to carry around a plastic bag has been mind blowing. Sorry but will anyone ever really feel safe sitting on top of each other in the Tribeca brunch cafes where your table is next to another group..cough, cough. Space and freedom. Right now I’m choosing whether to go south coastal ( beach) or big sky country Wyoming. I’m like a heroin addict who has finally kicked the habit. Ny it’s been fun but your high taxes, decrepit way if life, trash and unsafe subway and escalating crime is not worth it anymore... you were good while you lasted. — Jim Stein on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Since Ecco & Mariachi's (latter in two different TriBeCa continuously since the '90s) closed during & I think because of the pandemic (or the pandemic was the final nails in their coffins) I'll include them through 2022 which would give them two full years after the remainder of this year to reopen. — Beloved O on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Yes Pepolino right next door to Nancy Whiskey Pub : ) I forgot to add Girello right next door to Walker's & Stage Door Deli on Vesey between Church & Broadway (right on the southern boundary of TriBeCa.) If we want to include chains McDonald's @ Greenwich & Chambers, Domino's & Dunkin' Donuts on Church, possibly Subway on Church just above Chambers. Ecco would've made the list if it was still open but I'd make an exception of it reopened either in the location it was at or a new location on TriBeCa within two years after its last day because of the pandemic. Didn't The Hideaway open in 1998-99? I feel like I left them out. — Beloved O on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Pepolino has been open since 1999 — TribecaMom on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Unfortunately, yes it did. — TribecaMom on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Similar all-night parties -- complete with DJs and light shows -- have been taking place on the rooftop of 111 Reade St, above Ward 3. The rooftop is regularly packed with 50+ maskless partiers, with DJs blasting music all night long and projecting light shows on next-door building. Orange extension cords seen dangling down to 4th floor apt. below. Last night's party didn't stop until 9am. These are illegal superspreader events that are disturbing and endangering our community. — TW on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

Not all of us work in Manhattan. Not all of us can take the ferry or the train. Not all express busses run to our work sites at times that we need and most importantly we don't have the opportunity to take local roads to avoid paying the tolls TO GET AROUND THE OTHER BOROUGHS LIKE YOU! Why the hell would you want Staten Island residents to pay twice as much just to get to work and back home? What's wrong with you? You want the discount come live in Staten Island. There is no excuse to wish your fellow neighbors more financial strain just because you dont got something they have, grow up, take your frustrations with the officials YOU elected that hike these prices up...child. — Bubba Joe on Verrazzano Bridge toll will soon go both ways

I put TriBeCa Grill in the 80s because it opened either in late '89 or I thought it opened then since the first time I went there was dinner with my parents in late spring of '90 but if it opened in early-mid '90 cool still pre-2000. Batard doesn't count. A place has to have been in business under one name before 2000. Batard opened in 2014. — Beloved O on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Didn't Ecco close recently? — Beloved O on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I understand, but all I can do is judge by the IP address. Of course someone could be really crafty and use several devices on the same network, just to outsmart us all. If that is the case, and it is worth that level of effort to them, I guess they deserve both the assumption and the suspicion! — Tribeca Citizen on Cocoon has opened in the Best Market Space

Tribeca Grill opened in 1990. And though they've changed names three times, (Montrachet, Corton and now Batard) have occupied the same space on West Broadway since 1985 - all owned by Drew Nieporent and Myriad. — Bellucci on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Food critics have a right—perhaps a duty—to scrutinize restaurants for the benefit of their readers. But Hannah Goldfield's review was ignorant bordering on spiteful. She characterizes The Odeon as "an establishment whose appeal is primarily atmospheric." That's news to me, a loyal customer for 25+ years, who comes for the consistently great food and service. She states that restaurants should really be closed until we get through the pandemic, but criticizes The Odeon's Thomas Street extension as being a "sleepy Siberia" (right, that's the idea!) and the plain orecchiette being "meant for a child" (right, because if you did your homework for the review, you would know that it's wall-to-wall families down here). I'm the first to admit that the white privilege down here in "swankville" can be ridiculous, but Ms. Goldfield shouldn't have taken her obvious disdain for Tribecans out on our restaurants that are trying to survive. — Andrew Golomb on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Indeed it is! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Thank you James! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Oh boy, do I miss the old Bell Bates when it was on W Broadway where Serafina is now. The great smell, the sense of discovery in the crowded shelves and narrow aisles. Commodities too, but if I remember correctly, that's even longer ago! — N on Seen & Heard: Glass box for 13 Harrison roof

Isn't that on a gate door at Stuyvesant HS, on the West Street side of the building. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?

If anything, the Odeon has done an incredible job of delivering amazing service and high quality since they have re-opened for for seating this summer. I read the Odeon piece and do take issue with it. I wonder why there is a need to make claims about a restaurant that has not only served Tribeca well for 40 years, but has done an amazing job of continuing to serve people well )(and deliciously) during this pandemic. If anything, Odeon is one of the few places I feel comfortable in. They have spaced tables apart, been unique in how they separate tables from one another, and always makes guests feel welcomed. I would have expected more from the New Yorker. And frankly, I can't expect more from The Odeon since they have exceeded my expectations on what a restaurant can be during this horrible year. Their staff is superb. — Howard Pulchin on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Bassets cafe, red derby, nam phong. — Half list on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Ecco on Chambers (previously known as Stoll's Cafe) — Harry Miner on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

It just seems like such a strange coincidence. People rarely post their names, let alone 4 generic 2-syllable classic/older female names in a row(all with a negative bias on a new business). I mean no offense by the name generalization at all, these haven’t been popular baby names for quite a few decades. Sorry for the assumption! — nyc on Cocoon has opened in the Best Market Space

This writer is really reaching for content with this drama about Odeon seating. Odeon is and has always been a chic spot with fabulous food for the neighborhood. Even during this pandemic sitting there brings back memories of late night, post evening fun in the 80’s. Keep it up Odeon, we will support. Hannah, shame on you, pick on someone else. — Elle on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker
