I was a member here for 10 years or so and it kept me from falling apart completely in my old age as well as being a convenient reminder that I had to exercise even when the spirit was less than willing. Great facilities and staff and a serious loss to the neighborhood. I hope that somehow, they can find a way to come back, in another location. Best of luck to Allison and Frederick and thanks for the memories. — Bob on Tribeca Health & Fitness will close permanently

Great news!!!! Comfort food when needed most! A welcome return to that barren hallway all these months. Did someone just call me a Pavlov Dog? PLEASE shop local! Our neighborhood depends on it. Sharon Balloon Saloon — Sharon Hershkowitz Balloon Saloon on Frenchette Bakery has opened in the arcade

This was my gym for about 9 years or so. They were great, and I loved that place. Yet another loss during this miserable time of losses. Lots of memories of happier times at a fun, friendly local gym run by lovely people who cared. — Will Meyerhofer on Tribeca Health & Fitness will close permanently

Does anyone know about the continued police closure of Beach street and barricades on Beach, Varick and West Broadway. It appears to be more of a police parking lot than anything else. I have tried council woman Chin to ask but haven't gotten an answer after 3 calls. Also, why are the police who stand in front of the station house never wearing masks? Any information would be greatly appreciated. — Linda Rosensweig on Seen & Heard: A welcome sight at City Hall

There was some inconsistencies between the Citizen app report and the NYPD's report, even though the events were reported at precisely the same time... — Tribeca Citizen on Slashing on the 1 train at Chambers

I've actually grown up in nyc, to which it is obvious, you have not. My bedroom window was ground level on a busy street so loud and busy that anytime I left the city I'd struggle to sleep because it was way too quiet anywhere else. I live within two blocks of this horrible EDM hell that keeps anyone within a 5 block radius awake through the entire night on weekdays and weekend nights (even with noise cancelling headphones). People have kids, jobs, and as you seem to forget... WE'RE IN A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. So here is something to get used to. Relieve your stress with a dance party in your living room or go back to suburbia so you can spread your covid. Don't tell me what my New Yorkers do or do not deserve, especially when it comes to their health and safety and their rights as citizens. — disgraceful on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

2:02am on 10/18/20 and but of course, it is happening again. I just found this article and thread--I have been trying to figure out the source of this disgusting display of carelessness and stupidity that has been a weekly hell for my ears and my sleep schedule until the early hours. Thank you for providing more insight, the NYPD are deplorable and useless so I will try to use these other channels. I hope we get some sleep soon! — citizen4324 on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

Are they open on the weekend? — Valerie on Frenchette Bakery has opened in the arcade

Located at 249 Church Street on the corner of Leonard and Church is where you will find this cute little painting of the Dove. Whoever did it good job! Sonia Stock — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?

Eduardo y Amparo - We miss you. So sorry to see this, we wish you well, and hope to find you again, wherever you land. You had the best restaurant for miles around. This is confirmation that NYC has been gravely wounded, with neighborhoods being hollowed out, losing the connections, businesses, and warmth that has taken decades to create - through the hard work, and risk-taking, of people like Eduardo. "El profesor y la profesora" — Bill Murray on Sole di Capri has closed

First off recent one stabbing on Church Street and one recent shooting on Franklin Street due to a crime magnet. Second maybe if First Precinct didn't hang out there and walked the beat those crimes wouldn't have happened. Last two beat cops walking Chambers from Broadway to Greenwich and Church from Murray to Reade would greatly reduce crime there. You want less crime? Then tell FP to get out there and show themselves. — NYPDo Nothings on Dare we say it? Bogardus is nearing completion

So to hear this! Valley was my favorite store in TriBeCa and you guys are lovely people. — Coco on Valley Tribeca is closing permanently

I keep going back for the Kouign Amann (said “queen ah-mon.”) - a pastry I've only seen in a handful of places. They are sold out every time! The bakers let me know they take 4 hours to rise, so I just have to get my timing right. Welcome Frenchette bakery! — Dee Dee on Frenchette Bakery has opened in the arcade

Raced over when I saw this post this AM. The carnalized croissant is out of this world if you have a sweet tooth. Went a little overboard with excitement and got the gourgeres (amazing), Sicilian pistachio (you will love if you like pistachio) and regular croissant. The regular croissant isn't on the Arcade level, but bests anything I've had around here since Arcade closed. I can't wait to try their bread options. Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood. Go get some pastries folks! — DB on Frenchette Bakery has opened in the arcade

Sally Beauty is opening a store on block between Canal and Walker. Walked by earlier this week and saw workers stocking shelves. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: The Greek has moved in with Greca

The photo here shows the east side of Varick between North Moore and Franklin. Perhaps a different event? Perhaps it was the (Aretha) Franklin Street Station? — Heide Fasnacht on Slashing on the 1 train at Chambers
