Also it amazes me that there is parking on both sides of Varick Street that leads into the Holland Tunnel. With the parking on both sides of the street delivery trucks must double park, causing more delays. With a protected bike lane (no car parking on either side) deliveries could be made and we could have a usable bike lane all the way downtown. — GC on Broadway bike lanes going green as promised

Now maybe the bike riders will get the hell off the sidewalks. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Broadway bike lanes going green as promised

Farewell Jules and good luck to you. At least you leave knowing the mayor's wife is well taken care of... "Bill de Blasio's unelected wife has been branded a 'disgrace' for having a staff of 14 costing New York City $2 million, including a $70,000 videographer who filmed her baking cookies - while crime soars amid NYPD budget cuts, trash is left to pile up on the streets and 22,000 city workers face job losses." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8641213/De-Blasios-wife-14-staff-including-70-000-videographer-22-000-city-workers-face-job-cuts.html — PeterD on Seen & Heard: Ok Uniform still open for business

This is great, but why not have this from SoHo to FiDi? Why leave the huge gap between Houston and City Hall? Do people start biking to FiDI at the Southern tip of City Hall? DOT continues to amaze at doing the bare minimum (this should have been done YEARS ago) that they can point to and smile and nod. — DB on Broadway bike lanes going green as promised

With so many businesses closing, DeBlasio destroying the city, mask/social distancing restrictions in place indefinitely, and so many jobs going virtual, I would imagine tons of people will leave this overpriced city. Take a look on Zillow and see what your money can get you elsewhere. I’m headed to Santa Barbara and saving money- a stunning estate on 3acres with excellent schools and beautiful weather. Buh-bye Gotham City! — Jules on Seen & Heard: Ok Uniform still open for business

Because Duane Street is a public thoroughfare not a privateplaza for The Hideaway and Laughing Man, both atrocious with their crowds. No masks or social distancing, blocking or sitting along the sidewalk. I mean I know they don't have seating cuz if that poorly located Citi Bike which should be on Greenwich Street's wide western sidewalk sonewhere below No.Moore but the maskless crowding is ridiculous. Laughing Man has zero excuse for patrons sitting on docks maskless thus spitting aerosols into passersbys' path when they've had a permanent half the year parking space cafe area for years. L'Angolo has outdoor seating on Duane and Greenwich thus is fine. — This isn't Gramercy Park on Seen & Heard: Eataly delivering east and north

very scared of rise in homeless in our area. i was yelled at and harassed by one person on franklin recently. worried we are losing the safety and feel of tribeca — worried on USPS truck set ablaze on Lispenard

What a GREAT idea!! thanks for this I did Storm King Art Center yesterday... we did get our tickets in advance, I became a member which gives you the option of booking more freely (ie, you get your pick of dates and times) AND also gives you a discount when booking It was very organized, they check that you have a valid reservation and then send you to a specific parking (they are separating visitors to different parking areas (our 2 car group got separated)... once there it feels very comfortable. Most people where wearing masks even out in the open ... the picnic areas socially distanced and felt totally ok. There are no bikes to rent, and the little shuttle was not working. Also the main building is closed. All in all it was a good time out of the city. — Richard on Field Trip: Beacon, NY

The answer is: by eliminating the ridiculous municipal regulations. 8,000 restaurants got street and sidewalk cafe permission in a day where it used to take months, if ever!! No need now for input from the CB and its committees, filing with Dept of Consumer Affairs, adherence to zoning, etc. The City Council all but forced deBlasio to follow the lead of cities like Chicago and Cincinnati who had earlier done this. DOB, DOH, etc. can all follow and we can furlough more City workers who will no longer be needed to catalog the data and process and enforce a lot of the silly rules. — James on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

Great idea. There are so many places which are within reasonable reach. — Bob on Field Trip: Beacon, NY

Why doesn't the city close Duane Park to traffic for the rest of the summer. This could give The Hideaway L'Angelo, etc. more room to bolster their operations. — Jason on Seen & Heard: Eataly delivering east and north

Billy worked 6 and 7 days a week and had some of the best sushi in NYC. I don't see how Tribeca, or NYC as a whole, comes back from the combination of the pandemic and the hyper partisan politics that drive people and businesses away? — AM on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

I hope he finds a new spot nearby. I have so many memories of great meals at Tokyo Bay! — Nick on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

Tribeca Hardware is now closed for good. Modells on Broadway and Chambers is having 50% off with an additional 10% off. Cashier said their last day is 8/31. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Ok Uniform still open for business

So sad, our family love going there for a Friday/Weekend Dinner. Their staff was always so kind to our two boys - providing them with kid chopsticks and attention. Hope that they find another location in the neighborhood. — TC on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

As of 2019, his Landlord owes $1.5 million in mortgages on the building. It's *possible* the terms of the "assignment of leases and rents" associated with the mortgages does not allow him to give a reduction in rent, as the story says, "His landlord could not give him a break on rent."

So very sad. Can’t help wondering just what these landlords are thinking? In the last 50 years Tribeca has seen its fair share of businesses coming and going. Cant make sense out of empty stores. Not only now during this virus but for years at Independence Plaza. — Karen on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

So many happy times in Tokyo Bay, so many excellent take outs, always such consistent quality. This is a real gut punch. I REALLY hope he reopen somewhere. Best of luck. — Former 310 Resident on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

This is great. We may try to plan a trip before school starts. Keep the suggestions coming. Thank you! — Rosanna Lake on Field Trip: Beacon, NY

I've know Billy for many years and was a regular customer from the beginning. He is an excellent sushi chef and nice guy. I wish him and his family the best of luck. I look forward to his next restaurant. — charlie on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

i've been a customer since the beginning. billy is a prince. more than an excellent sushi chef, he is an artist and a gentleman. i wish him and his family well... — josh on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

Great idea... — Tribeca Citizen on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

The former Vin Sur Vingt on West Broadway would be perfect. Quaint, small, great window seating (For the future) and tons of potential for a great outdoor set-up! — KS on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

Total neighborhood bummer! Wishing Billy well in future endeavors. Will be missed so much! Staff so nice! — Citi Banker on Tonight is the last night for Tokyo Bay

Right again! If we have to live with some plywood still, this is a nice addition. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?
