Amen Betty and Jean. You long-term locals are what makes Tribeca so special and I can't wait to see you on the streets this summer! Tribeca is not for everyone but for those of us who love it, there is nowhere else. — Tribeca Proud on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?

Angie - hope you enjoy the flowers and lemonade in Westchester. Looking forward to a summer with locals only and no tourists. I will take rats over soccer moms any day. — Tribeca Proud on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?

I agree with you Betty. We've loved living in Tribeca since 1972. Of course it wasn't the Tribeca we know now when we first came here but we raised our kids here, helped make it what it is and stayed through 9/11, Irene , Sandy, you name it. Funny thing is when the Virus hit we couldn't even consider going to our place in RI because cars with NY plates were being stopped at the State line. LOL. No, Tribeca isn't for everyone. New York City isn't for everyone. People have to do what makes them feel best. — Jean Grillo on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?

I’ve lived and loved living in TriBeCa since the 80s( with a chapter in the gorgeous Fingerlakes, Aurora to be precise in a BIG c1905 Stanford Whitesk 26 room Lakehouse, moved up with my 3 ps234 schooled daughters when they were 6,8 and 10, great chapter of their childhood, at ages 13 and 16( eldest went off to Tufts) the girls missed NYC and so one went to Leman Prep, the other LaGuardia, then to USF and Cornell... Aurora has an AMAZING tiny school called Peachtown, almost like home schooling but way more nurturing, social and the the prep for HS, tremendous with the personalized education, 30 kids nestled into the old deans house on the Wells College campus c1868... the most historically intact village in all of NYState, population 400. So, you can always come back, I did... if your interested in exploring a chapter in the country, happy to discuss, it worked for us!

I get that there is no service, but all other places are being told they can't have people eat/drink their takeout at those tables. We got lunch at Smith and Mills Sunday and they told us that people were getting their licenses pulled for that (they have a couple tables too, FYI). I just find it odd that Grand Banks is freely allowed and everyone else is in violation of the guidelines. And don't get me wrong, I'm dying to get one of those tables at Grand Banks but they are all booked up! — Kristin on Some more reopenings in the neighborhood

Anyone know when the banks will open? Specifically TD Bank? — GC on Local parks are opening facilities bit by bit

Yes, it's better for the kids out in open space drinking Lemonade and smelling the fresh grass and apple trees. Tribeca has a lot of pollution and never mind the rats eating away at the beautiful flowers planted on the courtyard of every buildings. You go Tribeca! — Angie on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?

I've lived here for over twenty years (and my Dad's business was here long before it was called Tribeca) and, yes, we have had floods and enemy attacks and depressions and life. City living isn't for everybody and downtown isn't for everybody. But I grew up in the 'burbs and lived uptown for decades and there is no place I would rather live than here. Of course, it isn't for everyone. No place is. But for those of us who have stayed, it is home. — betty heller on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?

There is no service there -- just the tables. You get your food and can sit there with a reservation. You can also drink there. City Vineyard will also have something similar soon. Think of it like The Odeon, where you can do the same thing. — Tribeca Citizen on Some more reopenings in the neighborhood

Wish I still lived in TriBeCa, lived there from 97-03. Really enjoy reading this publication/webpage, so informative. Can’t believe so many a exiting. Is it just for the summer? — Jason on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?

They also need to continue construction of The West Thames turf field which began as part of the deconstruction of Rector St. bridge. The turf field is getting increasingly crowded and more space will certainly help with social distancing. — JCMNYC on Local parks are opening facilities bit by bit

Hopefully, most of the kids won't come back. — Judds on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?

Just curious if you know why they were allowed to create that sidewalk cafe when outdoor dining isn’t yet allowed in this phase? Other places were telling us they were getting threats of licenses being pulled for doing the same thing. Grand Banks seems to be an exception. — Kristin on Some more reopenings in the neighborhood

The fruit cart on Chambers and Greenwich is back too, but only on weekdays for now. — N on Local parks are opening facilities bit by bit

There is a FB group called TriBeCa Moms, and on it, I see posts every other day seeking others to take over early lease breaks. Additionally, I live across from a large luxury condo and there have been 2 sets of moving trucks moving people out for the past 3 weeks. The building currently appears about 20% occupied. It is going to be an especially quiet summer. — J on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?

Agreed. We own our apartment and are staying put! In fact we live in one of the dark buildings shown above. I have noticed several moving trucks around the neighborhood every day and I'm pretty sure none of them are moving people in. We are enjoying this quiet, not crowded summer so far. — Owner on Are Tribecans moving to the suburbs?
