I want to give a shout out to the people who work there. Many years ago when I was walking my dog I always stopped to admire their creative displays and amazing clothing. One day I timidly went in - obviously not a customer - and told them I loved the store and asked if I could just look at the inside. They welcomed me very graciously, explained the Frank Gehry design and let me wander around. — JS Miller on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
We were there Friday evening and had several drinks and they were great. It's a lovely place with wonderful staff. I sincerely doubt there was anything wrong with her margarita, much more likely she lost count of how many she had. It's ridiculous and sad that the restaurant has to deal with this. — RDK on A report of tampered drinks at Casa Carmen
The LLC and deed information point to Gabriel Weiser of Roslyn, NY, who is one of the owners of Marinara Pizza. https://www.longislandpress.com/2024/03/05/marinara-pizza-tosses-up-classic-long-island-pies-with-a-twist/ "Marinara Pizza tosses up classic Long Island pies with a twist" By Taylor Herzlich Posted on March 5, 2024 "Growing up, Gabe Weiser played pretend store-owner and set up shop with neighborhood lemonade stands, an entrepreneur from day one. Now, at 35 years old, Weiser is the owner of seven Marinara Pizza locations, including the newest one in Roslyn. [...] "In the same way that Weiser believed New York City needed some new life among its pizzerias, he thought the same thing about Roslyn. A Roslyn resident himself, Weiser noticed an empty storefront across from his neighborhood on his drives into work every day and decided that Roslyn would be home to the next Marinara Pizza. It turns out it was a good decision, as Weiser says business is booming. " 'For Roslyn, we wanted to make [the restaurant] the biggest. The best,' said Weiser. 'This store is the flagship, and the biggest and best one, and I feel that the community feels the same way.' " — James Bogardus on Sushi of Gari building has been sold

I have known the owners for 20 years. We are friends from Mexico City....they would never allow that ....the post says the woman stopped at another bar before getting home??? if anything the issue was there..... — reality bites on A report of tampered drinks at Casa Carmen
The BPCA funds this itself. It is not city money. — Tribeca Citizen on The plans for the reconstruction of Rockefeller Park
The Metropolitan Museum costume Institute has an exquisite collection of not only complete examples of Miyake masterpieces - They possess his studio workshop preparatory designs- Which they have shown as recently as about 2011 or so. What will happen to the examples of Gehry’s work in this Miyake shop?? Couldn’t it follow Miyake’s work to another destination? Or can it stay somewhere in Tribeca- To celebrate the history of fashion and design in NYC?? — Elaine Smollin on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
I am a long-time critic of the counterfeit, illegal street vendor mess on Broadway from White to Canal. ICE arresting select vendors is a temporary and purely topical solution. Wherever one is in the ICE actions, the supply and demand of these products has demonstrated for years that topical solutions are always temporary. I appreciate that this editorial team moderates all discussions so that all Tribecans can share in a productive and informative discussion. As such, I implore my neighbors to keep working with Marte’s office and the NYC police to eradicate the problem. This is a local issue, under local purview. A federal agency like ICE would be better served focusing their energy on Federal issues. While I find the blocking of the streets and sidewalks a hindrance and minor danger to pedestrians, I could not argue that these are dangerous felons (based on the information provided on the crimes and backgrounds of those arrested last month). — TheBlackSquirrel on In the News: More ICE on Canal Street
It's extremely unfortunate. That store added to the "now long lost" combined creative and neighborhood vibe of Tribeca. Most of the places that made Tribeca Tribeca have naturally faded into the past. No surprise. Very few are still around, but as others have noted, the forsaken spaces have either sadly sat abandoned for years or welcomed a "do we really need one more of these" type of occupants, which, truth is, we really didn't need one more of. Perhaps we'll just become a Insta-Immersed neighborhood, playing host to businesses that will undoubtedly pack up and leave once they've been cancelled on social media. — P on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
The Row is taking over the store early next year, according to Puck's Lauren Sherman. — Elizabeth on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
Doesn't surprise me. Walking by it I don't think I have ever noticed a customer inside; just bored looking clerks. Like so many other upscale clothing shops in the nabe. — George Bacon on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
NYC has been ignoring this issue for decades. I don't want to hear any complaining from people saying they don't like how this is being handled when their previous solutions were just to do nothing. — James S on In the News: More ICE on Canal Street
I agree with the mature tree comment... We are trying to mitigate against a threat that may never happen, yet streets in Queens and Brooklyn are currently being flooded after every large rain event. These residents are under siege. What is the City doing about those neighborhoods that are suffering NOW? Wouldn't these funds be better used to help those New Yorkers? — Mark K on The plans for the reconstruction of Rockefeller Park
You forgot high end "med spa" — Jon on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
Or the store will be vacant for years. The incentives for that have to change. — SusanD on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
Absolutely agree. — FMRing on The plans for the reconstruction of Rockefeller Park
I'm pretty sure Issey Miyake had offices/property on 28 N Moore. Is that subject to change? — Benji on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
Is it going to be: 1- a store for kids 2- an exercise class for women 3- a bank branch — B on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
Is that the reason ? not that the new management of the brand wanting to move to Madison Av ? If so ridiculous. It's a choice to live here, and it's the diversity of stores - and particularly the independent ones - that make it special. Landlords forcing them out will have the opposite effect. — Will on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
Bil owner of the building is so lame for letting it go. Money hungry tasteless. Unfortunately the row will make the space so common and boring and bring in hoards of basic people. — Tribeca truth on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
I love this store! — Gail Pink on New Kid on the Block: A.Little Pink
If you yell "ice, ice, ice" on canal street, they will often run, and you can grab some of their "products" — Jr on In the News: More ICE on Canal Street
Very sad. It really is iconic, impossible to replace. — Will on Issey Miyake will close store after 24 years
It's embarrassing and shameful that the city allows this chaos to happen on a daily basis. The sellers leave the streets trashed as well. I also blame the buyers. I am always tempted to say to them something like "Thank you for bringing crime into our neighborhood." — Marcus on In the News: More ICE on Canal Street
Hopefully we will see a lot more ICE around here. — G on In the News: More ICE on Canal Street
