  • It sounds like the project was approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, but that a final certificate of appropriateness was not issued and a letter requested that ODA must further reduce the visibility of the bulkhead. Does this mean they are likely to reduce the height of the bulkhead or move the mechanical enclosure? — Neighbor on N. Moore parking garage will be converted to offices

  • Rename this site feature Where In TriBeCa Sonia Stock Will Say. Hey Sonia how 'bout giving someone else a chance to guess? I didn't know this was Jeopardy - do you win money and/or a prize? LOL (I'm busting chops here as it's amusing how no one guesses where before her.) — Dum dah dum dum dum dah dum on Where in Tribeca?

  • This is between Reade and Hudson Street outside of the infamous Bogardus Park and street crossing from Kings Pharmacy to Morgan's Deli! Will Bogardus Park ever be finished that is the question? It is exhausting to see this park dragged out for so long. Now going on for almost 4 years...regards, Sonia — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?

  • Agree with your comments! Ebikes do not belong on sidewalks or bike paths Most of the Chinese restaurant drivers drive ebikes in sidewalks in BPC One Chinese restaurant driver even rides his motorized bike through the garden pathway of Gateway Plaza This is basically a pathway for kids playing in the garden One nearly squashed a 2 year old to death last week If I had a plate I would have called the restaurant — Sam on Broadway bike lanes going green as promised

  • Hi Erik! Thanks again for Pam; she's doing a fabulous job! However, I do miss your often spot on albeit sometimes deservedly cranky reports from our CB1 meetings. Do come and visit when travel is less dangerous for all. My husband taught painting for a semester at UCSB and it's a spectacular campus. Totally understand Santa Barbara's appeal to you. Stay safe. — Jean Grillo on Catching Up With: Erik Torkells

  • So are bicyclists who ride on sidewalks (not sidebikes), sometimes whizzing past people, and run red lights. And motorized bikes which should use the car lanes. And this is coming from someone who thinks we should have a commuter tax as I am SICK of people driving into NYC just for work and spending little or no money in it (zero if they brownbag their lunches and bring their own coffee or get free coffee.) You want to drive from Bedford, NY into an indoor parking space, go right up to your office, eat a sandwich and salad your spouse made you, and go home right after work, cool, more power to you, but you will pay $10 a day or the cost of the lunch you didn't buy from the deli two blocks away to do it. You are using my city to make your money and not putting dollars into the city's local economy, especially if your parking is free/included with the job. — Good bicylist, bad bicylist on Broadway bike lanes going green as promised

  • Boy do I miss Mariachi's for their vegetarian burrito. Chipotle's VB is better than EVERY place making one in TriBeCa but I don't want to get e.Coli, sorry. That's how bad the other places are. Green peppers in one? Mushrooms in another? Pureed pinto beans in yet another? Hello - rice, beans, guacamole, cheese, etc. with optional regular vegan sour cream please? Thanks! Fresco Tortillas @ Church & Reade makes the absolute worst one BUT they have a DELICIOUS black beans with melted sharp cheddar cheese soft flour tortilla for only $2.50 or so each (two or three will fill you up.) One of the last good cheap eats in the neighborhood. I highly recommend that. — B2 on Our Sophie’s Cuban has closed permanently

  • I ordered from the Fulton Street location a few days ago (they deliver to TriBeCa or at least to me and whoever else in my part of it) and the guy who took my order told me the New Street location has also permanently closed, so Fulton is the only Sophie's Cuban below 37th Street : ( — B on Our Sophie’s Cuban has closed permanently
