Nicely put Martine. Spoken like a true pioneer of this neighborhood. You’ve embraced change in a way that others can’t seem to. Thank you. — Vale on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Thank you. Here it is: Cannot block subway grate, utility hardware or Siamese water connection — KC on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I remember great Margaritas at Teddy’s (now ACE Hardware) and Layla where American Whisky is on West Broadway. — Broadway Mamma on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

You can read the regs here. — Tribeca Citizen on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

At Harrison & Greenwich: Prescott's Bar; then Yaffa's, now Tribeca Zona. Before Tamarind: Socrates and George Steinbrenner's sports bar. Before Socrates, it was a workingman's diner (name began with E). Magoo's on Sixth Ave. Riverrun on Franklin St. The Lower Manhattan Ocean Club on Chambers. The Delphi on W. Broadway. On Harrison: How's Bayou, which became The Harrison, which became Maison Keyser. Puffy's had been there long before 1976, when I moved into the neighborhood. They used to play Bach on the jukebox in the wee hours. — Jane on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

There will be opportunities for new blood to come into Tribeca (and NYC) and thrive. Not everyone likes to drive a car to the market or pay for snow removal or leaf blowing. Not everyone wants to manage a house and all of its maintenance issues. And it may be that it becomes cheaper to live here since prices have soared elsewhere. Let's praise what's great about Tribeca! Great sunlight, the river park, the little parks, the architecture, and so much more. The lights on my little street have come back on -- many have returned. I have been here since 1977. The Pandemic has hurt us but let's see what happens down the road. We don't need to dig the grave yet. There isn't an area without problems. Between hurricanes, tornados, fires, mudslides, smoke, etc. City, rural, suburban areas are all under pressure I wish those who move peace and happiness. But why bash and bruise on the way out? — Martine on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

There are some restaurants that just take over the outside area and act like this is their restaurant and we the pedestrians trying to walk by are infringing on their space. The Odeon's cramming of tables in front of their restaurant is way too crowded and feels like an occupying force. Sorry but I don't think they have the right to use the public streets in the way that they have done - notably the line of tables over the subway grates. Isn't that against the law for street usage? — KC on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Tribeca to Jim “Drop Dead” — Mark on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Oh! And here I thought it was the Tribeca outpost of Four Seasons Total Landscaping. — David B on Where in Tribeca?

I'm pretty sure Puffy's opened in 1977. — Tony Towle on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

No one seems to be on the attack or questioning your recollection. In fact, it appears to me that these folks really appreciate that you made this list. People are just correcting a few numbers. Even if they are off... this isn’t a competition. Why you getting triggered? Chill. — Settle Down Beavis. on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I find this article ridiculous! Many restaurants have less then desirable seats outside (but still a safer choice them inside), so why pick on Odeon? At least they are following safety guidelines. For example, many restaurants have fully enclosed patios covered on all four sides, all the tables may be desirable but unsafe! Wolfgang’s for example, I love this place but you can not have four sides to your patio if you want me eating there! — Tracy Becker on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I interviewed the brothers just before the pandemic, in February, and will run that interview shortly. They are calling this their 30-year anniversary. But I am glad for you since that clearly gave you a lot of pleasure! — Tribeca Citizen on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

I agree with this in the short term. But NYC will come crawling back eventually. It always does. Maybe it will take a little longer this time but I don't think NYC or Tribeca will ever be "over" for good. It just won't be exactly what it was before, and thats ok! The rich families are out, but young singles are still in. — K on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Jim, from a fellow native New Yorker, bye. No one will miss you — They Should Have Sent a Poet on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

HAHAHAHAHA You, TriBeCa Citizen & Belucci are wrong about when TriBeCa Grill opened & I was right. It opened in 1989 like I said it did & here's the proof from The Myriad Restaurant Group themselves: https://www.myriadrestaurantgroup.com/news-item/the-thrill-of-tribeca-grill/ — Beloved O on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

Am I insisting that it opened in the 80s? No so cool it. I took the time to compile the list (and was the one who sparked the defense of The Odeon hence my username) so I can be off by a year for an opening without two people correcting me. 89, 90 - again still pre-2000. Btw when did it open exactly in 1990? Show proof. Sorry I made it a year older than it was or as old school TriBeCa as you. — Beloved O on The Odeon responds to The New Yorker

My heart weeps for you, it truly does. Poor baby gets to pay the lowest bridge toll in America and has a free public transportation. You obviously failed civics because the state run MTA raises the fares not the mayor or city council. And they raise fares because Staten Islanders like you have been getting two free rides for decades (bridge & ferry.) The free ride on the bridge is over. Tell you what - since you & 400K or so other people decided to live on an island how ' bout you pay for the ferry & the Verranzano bridge toll everyone else but you pays? And pay a SI Railway fare commensurate with what people pay for LIRR & Metro North? — Excuse me??? on Verrazzano Bridge toll will soon go both ways

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
