The new Mexican place will either crush the existing Mexican restaurant's (Zona) business or both restaurants' business will be diluted. But, if the new place is going to be a high end restaurant, it probably will have a different clientele than Zona and won't take a lot of business from them. For example, I would not be surprised if Tamarind and Benares have different types of diners. — tribmama on Upscale farm-to-table Mexican may come to IPN storefront

Really couldn't have designed it more appealing to skateboarders. This is not a new thing. Skateboarding has been a popular activity for 30+ years now. Whoever designed this space really should have done a better job of dissuading skateboarding if that was his intention. Most places install skate stoppers on public space like this. How can you fault people for taking advantage of a public space to engage in physical activity? I have read a few comments complaining why they cant use the skatepark, skatepark s are rarely designed by people that have even a basic understanding of skateboarding. So all around this seems a failure of city planning. — Kyle on Skateboarders discover Bogardus Plaza

True, there are always more than one way to look at something. All for the common good? I wouldn’t go that far. — R. on Madelyn Wils will leave post at Hudson River Park

Only a minority of the skateboarders are kids. Most, and the ones that come in the largest groups, are adults. That activity looks more organized and is usually accompanied by someone with a video camera on a gimbal filming the exploits. Unfortunately the eggs, which clearly delight our youngest neighbors, are also a draw for the skateboarders. — N on Skateboarders discover Bogardus Plaza

They have been doing the same on the park/plaza next to the Four Seasons downtown... only to stop when an employee for the Hotel and/or a NYPD office shows up and asks them to leave. Simply unacceptable. Whats the point of having skatepark if they still come to these places to disrupt, destroy and annoy neighbors. — Richard on Skateboarders discover Bogardus Plaza

It brings me much joy to read about this bright, talented and inspiring young man - thank you! — Franklin Foodie on Kids These Days: Oliver Boydell and his book, “He’s Got Moves”

I get it, but if there was ever a time to lay off kids, it would be now. Middle school and high school are still remote. Mental health concerns are off the charts.

I love this and the photos are great. — j. on Old Kid on a New Block: Finlay + Gage

* Last Friday. — j. on Skateboarders discover Bogardus Plaza

The skateboarders were really intense a couple weeks ago when I was walking through a few times and wanted to sit. Well, I couldn’t walk through and sit... On last Thursday around 5pm it was nice with tables chairs. I sat there along with a bunch of other people there enjoying the outdoor space. I hope the skateboarders can just use the other skateboard park and let us enjoy the finally opened outdoor space. Glad they’re working on it. — j. on Skateboarders discover Bogardus Plaza

Maybe quit being a Karen and let kids skate — Dre on Skateboarders discover Bogardus Plaza

She was volunteering for the community long before 9/11 as well as after and she's not a politician. — Tribeca Citizen on Madelyn Wils will leave post at Hudson River Park

in this case, a relentless opportunist for the common good of us all — madeline lanciani on Madelyn Wils will leave post at Hudson River Park

Glad the Gages have landed on their feet. I visited their Walker St shop several times, most recently in 2019 for a sparkling performance by pianist (and Pharaoh Sanders alum) David Burrell. Pam, those pic's are beautiful! — Komanoff on Old Kid on a New Block: Finlay + Gage

What a shame. It's a really nice park. I walked by yesterday evening, a worker was putting away the chairs and tables and locking them up for the night. — TribecaMom on Skateboarders discover Bogardus Plaza

Or you can simply say she is nothing more than a relentless opportunist who found a way into local politics post 9/11, like many others in the neighborhood. Always follow the money! — R. on Madelyn Wils will leave post at Hudson River Park

Amazing work. Thank you Madelyn for making our lives better! — JZ on Madelyn Wils will leave post at Hudson River Park

yes a great pizza place for take out... Not sure why these people are putting in a mexican place when there is one right across the streat...makes absolutely no sense whatsover in my opinion...but what makes sense anymore and how people spend there money and there investors money but i would bet again that it will not survive. you can call me negative but i am all about the truth and the facts...mexican is not a good move across from a mexican place no matter how good it is. — adam glassman on Upscale farm-to-table Mexican may come to IPN storefront

I received my first vaccine on 1/5 and I am due for my second vaccine on 2/5 and still haven't heard back from anyone regarding an appointment. I am going there first thing in the morning on 2/5, not sure what else to do. — FiDI Resident on Finding a vaccine in the neighborhood

Everyone I know was given a follow-up appointment date and time when they left their first appointment. — Tribeca Citizen on Finding a vaccine in the neighborhood

Right again! Probably too easy... — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

I am scheduled to have my second Moderna vaccine on February 13. I had my first on 01/16/21. How do I get an appointment.. — Claire Bosee on Finding a vaccine in the neighborhood

Madelyn oversaw, against opposition from all angles, the creation of the most transformational and stunning waterfront in the US over the past 20 years. HRPK has become an oasis for all citizens of the 5 boroughs and has catalyzed a quality of life boom for families that is unrivaled. She is a hero plain and simple. With an unwavering focus on the city's best interests, she persevered despite relentless corrupt interests and local political bias for the better good of us all. Thank you Madelyn. For your dedication, your singular grit and for skippering this stunning achievement. Thank you sincerely... — S M on Madelyn Wils will leave post at Hudson River Park

This is an amazing tribute. She deserves high recognition. Thank you Madelyn. — j. on Madelyn Wils will leave post at Hudson River Park

@GC is so right. Let's add Madelyn's leadership after 9/11, not only getting our battered downtown all kinds of services but through force of example instilling a belief that we would pull through that terribly tough time. — Komanoff on Madelyn Wils will leave post at Hudson River Park
