Anyone know how they came up with their income estimates? It doesn't say in the report. It also doesn't say where they received the cell phone data. If they received it from phone companies...when do phone companies collect income data? Maybe when you first sign up? Just curious how accurate these numbers are... — Ellen2 on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

Right-o! So festive in there... — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Great article about the classiest girl I know!! Rosemary is like an Audrey Hepburn. So beautiful inside and out! — Julie Royzman on Portrait of the Artist: Rosemary Lepre Forman

Such a lovely sweet photo. Wherever it may be... — j. on Where in Tribeca?

A touch of the Irish to you! And a Happy 2021! This is located at Monk McGinns at 57 Murray Street. They should probably have a Leprechaun somewhere in this pub for good luck or maybe in the outdoor space? regards, Sonia S. — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?

Agree. The recent attack of the bicycle hoodlums at 5th Ave and 21 St in broad daylight is only the latest example of the descent of NYC into 1970's style violent chaos. I left in '78, returned in 2003 and left again after the summer's riots. Where's the social justice for Tessa Majors? — Lowrider on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

I just watched this video, and it is in fact 70 Vestry St. I wonder if the name of the dog was a pleasant coincidence. — Pablito on Seen & Heard: Kevin Love loves New Yorkers

I'm commenting on this last comment mainly because I was nearly assaulted today by a mentally I’ll homeless man. I moved to this area 2 years ago from the west coast to pursue and advance my career. I am not privileged by any means. I work very hard and long hours. I use to enjoy walking my dog in this are. I only leave my apartment to walk my dog. In the last 6 months I don’t see anyone except homeless, all definitely described above. I am sure I see more homeless than residents sometimes. They shout and keep to their distance, usually. The last time one came close to me where I was threatened was 2 months ago. My coworkers all have similar stories and involved a knife. My co worker gave me a noise maker (should have been pepper spray) in case nobody is near I can have someway to scare them off or get someones attention. Never thought I would need it in what I always thought was a safe neighborhood. They are around every corner, Beaver, Wall, Whitehall....naked, yelling, throwing up, etc. Today a homeless man was throwing large objects in the street. He started walking towards another homeless person I assumed for a sec they were together then he walked towards me. I was waiting on a light to walk across the street. I said don’t come near me...he said what are you going to do? I ran and a couple saw me, calmed me down all the while with my small dog in tow. I called the police and watched the homeless man walking towards me still throwing large objects, anything he could find to vandalize parked cars and breaking mirrors all up Whitehall by Beaver. I am never walking around anymore alone. It’s really a shame. I saw on Citizens app a few hours later gun shots were heard same area. Just hope people’s safety are being taken into consideration. — NYRES on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

David and Judy Gage are longtime Tribeca residents - at least the 40 years I’ve been here. They love very close to the new store. — A. on Seen & Heard: Support for Puffy’s employee

I've asked the architects several times since August for the drawings. No reply. These are the drawings from the CB1 presentation in July. — Tribeca Citizen on Landmarks approves new building for Broadway and Thomas

I thought the name looked familiar! But when I looked it up it said Maplewood NJ. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Support for Puffy’s employee

Good luck Andy Jr. I look so forward to seeing you greet us as your fabulous dad did for so many years. He is greatly missed and you are greatly welcomed. Among all his other attributes he had to be a great dad. — Karen on In the News: Tribeca’s Kitchen on Today

P.S. Landlords - follow the lead of Jerry Walker! — Karen on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

How about some help for the landlords? I believe an adjustment in TriBeCa was called for. Commercial and residential real estate taxes out of control in NYC. Some due to taxes, a lot due to greediness. Commercial tenants need some sort of ceiling for the next few years. — Karen on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

The Finlay + Gage business was previously on Walker Street but the owner is re-doing the building so they couldn't stay. They are locals! This will be a wonderful addition to the Chambers street block. — Reade St on Seen & Heard: Support for Puffy’s employee

Thanks, Reademan. IT would be great to have the emptiness filled up -- it's been years for many of those spots -- the nail salon, Josephine's Cafe, the Pizzeria -- gone for a long time and empty. — Martine on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

The retail you reference has been under construction and was not available for lease. The Independence plaza retail is now finishing a major renovation, and I believe Vornado has tenants for at least some of the spaces who will be moving in. — Reademan on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

As usual, you have gotten your facts wrong. Landmarks approved a redesigned plan that is depicted in the attached Yimby article - https://newyorkyimby.com/2020/12/lpc-approves-major-residential-expansion-at-315-broadway-in-tribeca.html — Reademan on Landmarks approves new building for Broadway and Thomas

Waiting for Tribeca to go back to the restaurant / cafe / lounge and boutique heaven it once was. — Sandra on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

Thanks, Pam! An update: There were two men disassembling the trampoline to remove it from the sidewalk the other day and they told me the trampoline had been blown off a rooftop terrace of one of the buildings on the block during the Christmas Eve/early Christmas morning storm. — M. on Seen & Heard: Look out below

I live in a small building. 2 of the 4 units vacated to their homes upstate. One family left for 5 months and is back. The other family comes back every month or so for a few days to a month. Our block was empty and is now fuller as evidenced by lights at night and garbage on the street. We'll see if more come back. Commercial landlords have seemed content with their empty storefronts -- we all know that -- Independence Plaza row on Greenwich, Dudley's Paws, and that group of stores -- we have had empty storefronts since way before the Pandemic. So I am not convinced that hopeful entrepreneurs who have the energy and vision to start up a new enterprise will find willing landlords. It would be nice to welcome homey good reasonably priced eateries and affordable stores into the neighborhood. But I am not convinced that landlords will let them take root. — Martine on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

The trampoline is from the rooftop of 354 Broadway. We have seen children (and sometimes an adult!) jumping on the trampoline on their rooftop. Should have been better secured! Glad it didn't cause any damage on the way down / landing. — R on Seen & Heard: Look out below

That picture! Yum. I’m ordering. — Amy Goldstein on Ganso Ramen operating out of Sarabeth’s kitchen

I agree. And you have to really look at this data a year from now. I bet the changes are not as stark. I dont like to see any business fail, but if there is an empty space that can go for less to a new shop trying to make it, then that is a win. — Patrick C Valentino on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

So, the study says that 3.5mm people left NYC and another 3.5mm moved in? That would be a 40%+ net turnover of NYC population. No way that’s correct. — MG on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca
