I saw the moving van too. Looked like they were definitely moving out. — Jennifer on A string of closings, perhaps to be followed by more

On the zip code maps 10013 is shown to and listed as including Tribeca and Chinatown. Does anyone have stats differentiating Tribeca from Chinatown? I haven’t been able to find one. My guess is that Tribeca’s higher case count may be based on the data grouped by zip code and that Chinatown’s higher population density may be a factor. — Duane Parker on The city releases positive COVID-19 cases by zip code

Darn-- i wish we had a TriBeCa BID to help those of us who have spent lots of $$$ on their outdoor seating spaces. Kudos to Hudson Square BID and DowntwnAlliance for stepping up! — MADELINE LANCIANI on Two of the downtown BIDs are setting up Open Street spaces

It’s really sad to see this. It’s too bad those that abandoned their neighborhood for their country homes forgot about the businesses that made the neighborhood so great. If they ever work up the courage to return, they will hopefully recognize that they should have perhaps done more to help. Hopefully some did help, but revitalization is going to be challenging for a while with so many empty storefronts. — Michael on A string of closings, perhaps to be followed by more

Thank God. It’s about time! — Reade Street on City Hall Park is cleared out and cleaned up

DeeDee. Are you for real? A local business is going to try and make a come back and all you can do is whine and moan, you really must be a treat to live with. And I'm sure most of the businesses in the area were there before you became THEIR neighbor. Lighten up and help the neighborhood not hinder it. Enjoy the rest of the summer. — Mike on Tribeca’s Kitchen will reopen this week

I am so happy! Can't wait to go! — Native on Tribeca’s Kitchen will reopen this week

Did you vote in the last two primary and general mayoral elections? It seems not too many people did. That's how we got this bozo. — james on A homeless encampment on Franklin and frustrated neighbors

To Joseph and Anjali Augustine and the 52 Thomas St board members - shame on you for having Andy’s permit revoked. Just shameful. I can’t wait to eat back there to help celebrate Andy and to honor his memory ????. — Duane Street on Tribeca’s Kitchen will reopen this week

The homeless strike again. Bill DeBlassio fefuses to address the out of hand homeless situation in our city, now it has infested TriBeCa once again. This morning at approximately 5:45am one of DeBlassio's " Guests" caused havoc on N. Moore Street and Varick Street. This unwanted visitor threw flower pots from the front entrance of one building on N.Moore Street smashing it onto the sidewalk below, totally destroying it. He then proceeded to throw the flower pots in front of Walker's onto Varick Street. The police were called but told us that they have instructions "Not to interfere with the homeless". The city homeless situation is totally out of control. Great job Mr. Mayor. I can't wait until your term has ended and we finally get some real government in New York City. — Larry on A homeless encampment on Franklin and frustrated neighbors

I emailed with them recently -- they have a mobile smoker they are taking around, and did not mention that they are closing the restaurant, but I can ask. — Tribeca Citizen on A string of closings, perhaps to be followed by more

Insert eye-roll — vale on Seen & Heard: Progress at Bogardus Plaza

I got an estimate for a bluestone patio at my house in the tony Hamptons and the self-described honest contractor quoted me an inflated price and said it would take 2.5+ years. Seems reasonable. So no need for CB1 or any other elected official/body to question it or make changes. No need at all. My contractors start next week. So exciting! #USA — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Progress at Bogardus Plaza

Neighbors really tried to block his outdoor permit? Thats terrible; what on earth for? They prefer speeding cars? — PATRICK Valentino on Tribeca’s Kitchen will reopen this week

its not loud and hardly can compet with traffic. if you wanna make Tribeca even nicer, get rid of cars on certain streets....music at that decibel is likely to drown out the traffic noise — PATRICK Valentino on Tribeca’s Kitchen will reopen this week

I've said this before, but it puts this plaza in perspective... they built the Empire State Building in 13 months. — FRANK on Seen & Heard: Progress at Bogardus Plaza

The last thing we need is more music playing outside. 1803 restaurant had a live band the other day for several hours - don't they need a permit for that? It may be festive for them, but for nearby residents it's a real nuisance, especially when you can hear music from multiple restaurants at a time. — DeeDee on Tribeca’s Kitchen will reopen this week

Now they can make use of all of the outdoor furniture Andy invested in before his neighbors blocked his sidewalk permits. Wishing you all the best of luck on the reopening and look forward to visiting again. — TribecaMom on Tribeca’s Kitchen will reopen this week

Correction "Holy Ground" restaurant anyone know why they had Moishe moving Van?? — Queens Girl on A string of closings, perhaps to be followed by more

anyone know what is going on with Holy Grail? Moving van outside today. — Queens Girl on A string of closings, perhaps to be followed by more

As long as it’s not a haven for homeless. Or a gathering spot for “protests” or worse, an occupied encampment — Try bex on Seen & Heard: Progress at Bogardus Plaza

Terrible project. Losing the turn onto Hudson has cars driving more to navigate, and, generating that much more exhaust fumes, to add a, minimally use-able, plaza, with a few tables and chairs. Costing a fortune and taking forever in the true spirit of urban bureaucracy. — Salty1 on Seen & Heard: Progress at Bogardus Plaza

To take your question literally, it takes more than 2.5 years. Construction started in November of 2017. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Progress at Bogardus Plaza

It feels like that plaza is taking forever to finish. It has been years! They must be almost done. How long does a small plaza like that take?! — K on Seen & Heard: Progress at Bogardus Plaza
