I lived there before it was called that. I tried never to use that word. Just said that I lived below Canal or I lived on Duane ST. 1977-1997 — Elizabeth on In the News: Tribeca is for lovers

I second the Home Made by Miriam recommendation. Great fresh reasonably priced food for what ever your food preferences are. — JMiller on New bakery coming to the Maison Kayser space

My problem is that you post without an authentic email address using different aliases that are intended to make readers think more than one person is commenting. Many commenters appear as anonymous, but you are the only one who fakes out the system by inserting an @ and a .com in a random phrase. You also comment several times in one day, which gets tiresome. You also regularly attack other commenters. It is also my prerogative to approve comments, and when I decide that you have abused the platform by either posting too often or with more venom than I care to absorb, I delete them. — Tribeca Citizen on City Hall Park is back online (well, almost)

OMG. Are you seriously angry that someone is opening up a business in Tribeca.... where there are far too many for rent signs on commercial spaces?!? Geez! Get it together and go to Whole Foods. I can't believe this is your 'go-to' reaction when hearing of someone willing to take a risk in Tribeca. In case you haven't noticed, we're in the middle of a pandemic, people are leaving NYC, and the economy is tanking. I welcome them with open arms and am thrilled to have this choice in my neighborhood. — Vale on New bakery coming to the Maison Kayser space

Hey Pam what's your problem? I post that NYPD closed the entire park to punish the entire community and have them demonize protesters and protesting, that that is a common tactic among fascists and you don't approve it why? What else was NYPD doing by closing the park? People protested at City Hall Park. NYPD then closes most if not all of the park and has it closed well after the protestors encampment was removed. How is that not punishing everyone for what they perceive as the transgressions of a few? Stop being a comments section cop. You want comments you approve of? Then require people to register to post. Why are you letting anyone post then? It is annoying to post a comment and see five other comments up instead. So passive aggressive. I did not insult or namecall you or anyone else. Yes, I called NYPD fascist because they are. They close an entire park because of protesting - that is fascist behavior, something a police state would do. You disagree? Then say so instead of be a comments cop. — NYCCD on City Hall Park is back online (well, almost)

I just found out and am blown away. I was a patient of Dr. Qurashi’s for over 20 years. My wife use to audit his practice and told me he had the best records and was just the nicest physician. When I was looking for a new primary she wouldn’t let me go anywhere else. He knew every patient by name , their family and was proactive to make sure you were thinking about achieving your best health. To the Quraishi family - he was a special person. You should be proud of how many lives he affected. — Jeff Horowitz on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

A perfect example of how idiotic, out of touch and inept our dimwitted Mayor DeBlasio is, can be highlighted by the fact that his $10+ billion dollar financial train wreck of a prison/land grab scheme is still somehow on the docket - "Borough Based Jails/Manhattan Detention Complex – Report by Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit" — Adam on Community Board 1 agendas for September

Is there a volunteer group that takes care of this park like the Duane Park group or the Hudson River group. If so, does anyone have the contact details? — A2 on City Hall Park is back online (well, almost)

I’m thrilled there will be a bakery opening here. I’ve been hoping for one since Arcade Bakery closed. What a great addition to the neighborhood. Kudos (and thank you!) to the owner for having the courage to take a chance and come to our ‘hood. These businesses help build Back NYC. I’m confused and disappointed sometimes to see the snippy, negative attitudes that pop up here in comments. Be accepting, be kind, be welcoming - chill out. — TJ on New bakery coming to the Maison Kayser space

Just so you all are aware, Sushi of Gari charges a $5.50 delivery fee, a $1 processing fee, and then a tip on top of that if you order from Seamless. I am curious how much of the "fees" go to the delivery people or if this will end up cutting into their income which doesn't seem fair. — Elizabeth on Seen & Heard: Mr. Chow is back

It was open Sunday night, closed Monday, closed Tuesday, and then open last night (Juniper Peanut loves walking through, and I love having a bit of green). Tons of stuff still blooming :). — Lynda Lippin on City Hall Park is back online (well, almost)

Finally! I saw them (few police officers and 3 civilians) open the gates to the fountain in the broadway side on Tuesday afternoon but didn’t know it was for good. It’s about time !! There was absolutely no reason to keep that park closed ... if they were worried you could have stationed police and keep it on guard (actually they had police inside and outside sitting doing nothing) Well anyhow, I guess all the complaints and emails to city council members did the trick. Bravo — Richard on City Hall Park is back online (well, almost)

I’m excited for this bakery bc we actually don’t have anything like this in the neighborhood. Maman is good for sweets for the most part but their croissants are very mediocre. Maison Kaiser wasn’t good - became too much of a chain — KD on New bakery coming to the Maison Kayser space

Here is Sean Sweeney's Soho nightmare: NY Times LOFTS IN TRIBECA WIN ZONE CHANGE By Glenn Fowler June 12, 1976 The Board of Estimate gave final approval yesterday to a zoning amendment legalizing the conversion of loft space to residential use in the Tribeca area—a triangle below Canal Street extending south to Park Place on the Lower West Side. Several hundred people are believed to be living in Tribeca lofts without the blessing of the Buildings Department. The area, has long been zoned for light manufacturing, but with the decline of the city's industrial base, vacancies in Tribeca have been high. The zoning change approved yesterday creates a special “mixed‐use district’ running along the Hudson River east of the new Independence Towers housing on the waterfront. Within the district, loft conversions of two types are permitted. As in the SoHo district, to the northeast of Tribeca, artists will be able to occupy combined living and working quarters, provided they receive certification from the Department of Cultural Affairs. But unlike SoHo, Tribeca will also permit conversions by the general public of loft space into apartments. — James on In the News: Tribeca is for lovers

FYI, NOT our Trash! We’ve been closed for almost three weeks but that garbage is there daily, my staff has been bagging up 25 Park Row’s trash for months since the pandemic so I do not get fined on top of all our astronomical losses!!!

Margaret Chin has all but checked out of representing her district. After that fiasco concerning the jail, she has helped no one including the people of Chinatown. Her only concerns are the for the seniors of the community. Rothenberg is correct because there is an article stating which City Council Members respond to a photo op and which one listens to the people of the community. Guess who responds to a photo op? Small Businesses are suffering and she is no where to be found. Her chief of staff Gigi Li is running for her seat next year so remember that. — Bowery80 on Da Claudio’s outdoor dining is closed by the city

Agreed! These are public spaces and they should be open unless there is some imminent threat we're unaware of. — K on City Hall Park is back online (well, almost)
