This is disgraceful. — Frustrated Tribecan on Nosy Neighbor: When will the USPS clean the Canal Street post office?

The prolification of bank branches really put a stain on NYC. Who the F needs a branch of the same bank every 3 blocks, often a block apart. WTF, this is NYC people. You can't walk half a funkin mile to get to your bank? Not to mention 98% of banking can be done online now anwway. I hope 80% of the BoA, Chase, WF, Cap1 branches close. What a waste of space and a blithe on the city... — Andy on Chase and Capital One to close local branches

Ha! I will now have to remember where I took the picture! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

If you bring your 3- or 10-speed bike out, you may be very disappointed. Aside from peddling through some deep sand that will get into your gears, you can't bike fast. The walks are narrow and filled with people with wagons, kids, luggage and groceries in tow. In addition, the Fire Island National Seashore often restricts the Berma Road to local residents only, directing all others to the beach. Saltaire has many bike restrictions and Ocean Beach does not allow any bikes in their downtown area all season. Yes, you can drive to Field 5 and bike to Kismet, but you're better off just walking the sandy road or on the beach to Kismet. People also regularly "borrow" bikes to go from town to town so be sure to lock your bike if you do come. — GJ on Field Trip: Bike into Fire Island

I'm going on Sabbatical. Good luck everyone. Never let the house win..., Sonia — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?

Thank you. Chain banks suck in general. Try to join a credit union instead. — CU on Chase and Capital One to close local branches

Geez, you guys are really lamenting the closures of bank branches -- the very industry that destroyed the soul of NYC and closed down the mom and pop shops and made the rents higher so that the unique places that made NYC an energizing and vibrant city can no longer open up. People should rejoice that these are closing and there'll be fewer of these bland and dull carbuncles. Tribecans should just follow J Altucher and the others like him and go back to the suburbs and their Mcmansions and never return. — QU on Chase and Capital One to close local branches

Hi from Pearl River! And yes! We have a few of the pieces in-store but most are available online only so call or email before you take the walk over. Thanks for your support!!! — Pearl River Mart on Shop Chinatown merch to help some old favorites

Chase also has the Greenwich and Murray branch which I've always found to be the most welcoming and cleanest location of the bunch! — Lisa on Chase and Capital One to close local branches

The HSBC at at John and William has closed as well. On the plus side, the Citibank Branch at 120 Broadway is being renovated and a brand new Citi Branch is well under construction at 180 Water (corner of John) and should open this fall. — Luis Vazquez on Chase and Capital One to close local branches

Santander branch at the corner of Broadway and Worth is closing too. They are opening a new location on Canal St near Centre St, I think. — TribecaMom on Chase and Capital One to close local branches

The Chase at Chambers and Broadway was originally a different bank that Chase took over when it ran into problems, I think after the 2008 financial crisis. My guess is that the lease is up and they don’t need so many branches close to each other. When this branch became Chase, there was another Chase branch diagonally across the street from it. It was absurd. — A. on Chase and Capital One to close local branches

There are also Chase branches at Broadway and Murray and Broadway and Worth. Except for the big banks’ “flood the area “ strategy to outcompete each other with convenience, it never made any sense to have 3 branches within a 10 minute walk. — N on Chase and Capital One to close local branches

I have meet the owner and their daoughter multiple times before, and I just want to put It out there that they are nice hard working people. — Ingrid on New Kids on the Block: 87 on Walker

It is a very sad situation. They seemed to be doing really well pre-Corona - lively and full of people on most evenings. Just a sad testament of what this virus is doing to restaurants in our city. — Rohin on China Blue has closed permanently

UPDATE: Fresco Tortillas AND Burrito Mariachi around the corner from each other are closed, too. Taco House right across from BM closed awhile ago. All three had crappy food but their soft flour tortillas were good. So all TriBeCa has left Mexican food-wise is Los Tacos, Zona, and Serenata plus the two Chipotles. Also West Side Coffee Shop but they're a goner, too, once that entire building is demolished. — Mexigone on Our Sophie’s Cuban has closed permanently

Hopefully they'll reopen or a new restaurant will open in that space one day. — Let's hope on China Blue has closed permanently

This is so sad. I saw the lights on last week and staff coming in and out so I thought they were preparing to reopen :-( — HC on China Blue has closed permanently

That is sad- the food was very good, the prices reasonable for the neighborhood, and the architecture priceless... — Robert Ripps on China Blue has closed permanently

I will try to step up my game...sometimes I have been away, or WIT was posted much later than 10. And sometimes I just don't know! — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?

This was so well done... and heartbreaking. Such a big loss to our hood. — F on China Blue has closed permanently

A few points: The furthest East you can bike is Lonleyville, after that its deep sand to trudge through. Many FI communities have rather strict rules, and truth be told the reason is to discourage day trippers. In the community I write from (Saltaire, where your lead pic was shot, and also a private community) there is no eating or drinking or coolers allowed on the beach, no drinking of alcohol on the walks, no music playing through the community including the beach. The security staff will break up any group of 10 or more, stop speeding on bikes, as well as mandate mask wearing and social distancing in public. You are supposed to slow your bike down and ring your bell at each and every corner, similar to a stop sign. Offenders for any of the above may be given summons. Want to bike from field 5 to Kismet, you'll be met with open arms! Bike east of that and frankly nobody wants you in their town. Since locals don't wear helmets we can spot a visitor a mile away! — Ali W on Field Trip: Bike into Fire Island

The Bouley Botanical event space took up residents on the corner of Church and White in 2013. … residence not residents — kmh on David Bouley is coming back to Tribeca

Why isn’t Danube included in the list of restaurants. Loved it, especially on a cold, wintry night — Jill on David Bouley is coming back to Tribeca

Sorry, but you can absolutely bike from Robert Moses to Atlantique on paths that are designed for biking and walking. The road between the parking lot and the first town is indeed dirt but it is easily bikeable. And there is even a drop off point for bikes at the end of the parking lot and signage for bikes as well. The paths are not sand -- they are concrete or boardwalk -- and the only other large vehicles are golf carts driven by maintenance people and the occasional resident. Otis Pike is not accessible by bike from any of the Fire Island towns; it is about six miles east of the last town in the strip. Also, you can't bike through Point O Woods anyway since it is a private community, so I am not sure how you are imagining a bike route from Robert Moses to Otis Pike... — Tribeca Citizen on Field Trip: Bike into Fire Island
