I walked over there yesterday and there is music playing along with planters set up. So glad to see this. — PATRICK Valentino on Tribeca’s Kitchen will reopen this week

This plaza will really make that part of Tribeca nice. I am sure everyone can't wait till its done. — PATRICK Valentino on Seen & Heard: Progress at Bogardus Plaza

The no mask comments are pretty cavalier. Many people without masks walk around and then go into the farmer’s market and stand next to others without masks. They also flout the please wear a mask signs at the stalls. You are helping everyone by a pretty simple action - wear the mask when out in public — Needmasks on Just how masked is Tribeca?

Hope you called her a moron: this isn't the time to suffer silently.. — Ben on Just how masked is Tribeca?

So sad these small businesses are closing up shops. We have fond memories of BGL. My son had his birthday party there last year and went their holiday camp as well. BGL has donated to Spruce Street school gala/auction for the past couple of years. Hope they make a come back to the neighborhood in the future. — TribecaMom on A string of closings, perhaps to be followed by more

Salaam Bombay was reviewed by Ruth Reichl in the Times on 2/3/1995 and she said it had been open for 5 months. https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1995/02/03/125995.html?pageNumber=60 — FredPeng on A string of closings, perhaps to be followed by more

Sophie's on Chambers St is out of business. :( Also Krispy Kreme opened at Fulton transit hub last week. — TribecaMom on Yoga Shanti says namaste to Tribeca

Maybe if there was more affordable housing, you wouldn’t see homeless people. — MeowMix on A homeless encampment on Franklin and frustrated neighbors

I wear a very comfortable hinged shield with good air circulation outdoors. Much more comfortable than a mask and almost attractive without the foam band. Could you look at whether major stores like Whole Foods are ensuring compliance for staff and customers? On Friday I watched an unmasked customer talking to two staff behind the fish counter who had their noses uncovered, as did a number of other staff and customers. At least one other customer was unmasked. I’ve also seen staff with masks below their chins. Given the concern about aerosols, this could be a problem indoors. Thanks. — A. on Just how masked is Tribeca?

I saw Sonia walking around the park today! So exciting to see a real TriBeCa celebrity! — Kelly on Where in Tribeca?

Sonia is clearly much more observant than I. This happens to be the one right at the base of the stairs on Laight. And of course she is right again. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Hi Pam, there are 4 garbage (trash bins) bins outside the Holland Tunnel park area which is located between Laight Street and Ericsson Street. All 4 have this logo sign on them for the Holland Tunnel, regards, Sonia S. — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?

A woman without a mask in my elevator in IPN standing right under the "masks required"sign called me a fuc_ing bi_ch" for calling her out on it. I waited for the next elevator. Sad that folks can't cover their face in elevators in our towers — Cheryl on Just how masked is Tribeca?

One guy told me from two feet away that he pulls his mask up over his face when he is within 6 feet of someone. — Heide Fasnacht on Just how masked is Tribeca?

I find it’s easier just to wear the mask. Then I don’t forget to put it back on when I approach people. — TriBeCa Tom on Just how masked is Tribeca?

I believe they were a subtenant, to add some clarification. But yes, one would think that landlords are willing to strike deals for tenants willing to stay put. — Tribeca Citizen on Yoga Shanti says namaste to Tribeca

1803 is packed in front tonight with crowds of non-mask wearers not social distancing. — James on Seen & Heard: 1803 will open with live music

Agreed and thank you for highlighting. Too many people are only reading the tweets and not the contents of the executive order. There is plenty of room these days to walk the streets, have a pleasant stroll, bike ride or run, without violating rules, people's safe spaces, etc. Wear it for sure when it is required. It would certainly be disrespectful to walk through the sidewalk area where outdoor dining is occurring without. But if you're enjoying the emptiness with only a few souls that are spacing themselves away from you, everyone can be spared the judgmental dirty looks and take a moment to read the rules. — alee on Just how masked is Tribeca?

Forgoing, not forging — James on Yoga Shanti says namaste to Tribeca

Clearly there was some kind of problem here we are not being told about, because of the discrepancy between the lease end and the notice to vacate. "Our lease is up in September, [...] "Then, on Saturday, I got an email that said that we needed to be out by Tuesday, May 5th." I cannot imagine a landlord forging income in a market like this. — James on Yoga Shanti says namaste to Tribeca

Yes, but also as you are passing people on the street. That's why I didn't count someone who was on the other side of the street and separate from others. But I did count them if I they were about to pass someone else or pass me. — Tribeca Citizen on Just how masked is Tribeca?

It sounds like the landlord really did Yoga Shanti dirty. Proposing a sharp rent increase during a global pandemic and then giving them three days to get out?! Why are landlords like this. — A on Yoga Shanti says namaste to Tribeca

Thank you for highlighting that basic fact. Here's the City's confirmation of your point: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/imm/covid-19-face-covering-faq.pdf — E on Just how masked is Tribeca?

Isn't a mask required ONLY if you can't social distance? For example, in a store, or on line, or near or in a group. — GC on Just how masked is Tribeca?

I have sent two of my dogs to their NJ country boarding and daycare center over the last 12 years. They pick up in Tribeca and bring them out of the city for some fresh air & lots of green space. My city dogs need that But, I’ve also used their walk & train service in Tribeca. They are affiliated with my vet at Reade Street Animal Hospital. Amazing people who know exactly how to treat pups. They also do a lot of volunteer work with spca & mspca — Evan V on Dudley’s Paw, Wagging Tail, Petco and now AKC Canine Retreat
