Edison parkfest garage on West Broadway and Worth Street, be safe, Sonia — Sonia Stock on Where in Tribeca?

Yes, when I think something is libelous or just so mean-spirited that it puts me in a bad mood. I haven't got time for the pain, especially these days. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Really? Now?

What would cause you to disapprove and not post a comment? Have you done that? — Tribeca Daddy on Seen & Heard: Really? Now?

My condolences to the family. He was my PCP for a little over a year and was very happy with his care. Will surely be missed. R.I.P. — Dindyal Rampersaud on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Looks delicious! Will definitely order. Welcome and we’re rooting for you! — TriBeCa mom on New Kid on the Block!!! Homemade by Miriam

I shocked to just hear this terrible news. Dr. Quiraishi was my physician since arriving to New York over 30 years ago. He was a wonderful, caring doctor, who helped me so many times. You could tell what kind of man he was by his handshake, the way he looked you in the eye, and his smile. What a great person and doctor, I'll miss him greatly. Damn this disease. — Richard Scherr on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

The tables at Grand Banks are lovely, but why is it that they can have seating and Cafe 25 can't... They even put barriers around the benches outside Cafe 25 so you can't even sit and wait for your order. — toni on Some more reopenings in the neighborhood

Yes glad this is a headline. I walked by yesterday and was excited to see what was happening. We need a win — Patrick C Valentino on New Kid on the Block!!! Homemade by Miriam

Yes, I am. And yes it sure would! — Tribeca Citizen on New Kid on the Block!!! Homemade by Miriam

So glad to hear this! Great food, nice people ... we were worried they had disappeared. — Meg on Lekka Burger is open for takeout and delivery

Still closed — s on Free COVID testing places in the neighborhood

Correction: call was made 06-12-2020. — Tom Nolan on Free COVID testing places in the neighborhood

I just called CityMD (06-22-2020) and was told that the Tribeca CityMD site at 87 Chambers is still temporarily closed. They said the closest CityMD is at 138 Fulton. — Tom Nolan on Free COVID testing places in the neighborhood

The menu looks delicious! This will be a great addition to the neighborhood. Can't wait to try it. Bold move opening during the pandemic, I hope they do well. Are you referring to the driveway on Warren St. that attaches to the back of the building? That would be a good use of the space. — K on New Kid on the Block!!! Homemade by Miriam

DB, So true indeed. I know most New Yorkers are all waiting for the city to slowly spring back to the life and vibrancy which drew us all here in the first place. Would like to hear something more besides construction sounds! ;) (Knowing what we know about NY Real estate developers hold on the city, not the least bit surprised that they were in Phase 1 (sigh)) — Rohin on In the News: Luxury sales are creeping back up

FYI. There will be a 200 boat "Trumptilla" starting 11am July 4 on Sacandaga Lake, Fulton County, NY. They will be accompanied by a formation flyover of vintage US military aircraft. Seems that unlike Tribeca, upstate is full of "deplorable" "assholes." All are welcome. — Lowrider on Seen & Heard: Really? Now?

The "asshole" description refers to the rower not Trump. Apparently the photographer has "moral clarity" which is just a way to condemn someone without actually having a debate. — Lowrider on Seen & Heard: Really? Now?

The fact that so many protesters were also looters says a lot about the kind of people they are. Why take their word for anything? — Lowrider on Maxwell’s closed, then was looted, and now might be done

Can anyone confirm whether CityMD at 87 Chambers is open? The CityMD web site lists it as “temporarily closed” still, but that map shows it as a testing site... — Mg on Free COVID testing places in the neighborhood

Cuomo banned the floating digital billboard last summer. But they continued to float nonetheless. AND more importantly, that was for digital billboards that light up. I am quite sure anyone can carry around a flag anywhere they want. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Really? Now?

Just curious: Is anyone permitted to take a boat out on the river and advertise (with a billboard or flag or whatever) for any commercial or political purpose? Wasn't there a company with a billboard on a boat sailing up and down the Hudson that had to stop because they didn't have a permit or license? I may have this wrong.....but this may be regulated activity. I know that in some towns there are regulations relating to political signs being displayed, even on your own private property. — SW on Seen & Heard: Really? Now?

Very well put! — S. on Seen & Heard: Really? Now?

BLM protests began during Obama’s presidency. Wikipedia link here. I couldn’t find evidence that Biden attended any funerals for victims of police brutality while VP. Maybe because his boss was a black dude, and the first black president, and Obama went instead? Anyway, here’s Biden attending a slain NYC cop’s funeral in 2014, from the Daily News. And here’s an abstract for a paper that examines the increase of hate crimes under Trump, link here. — Steven on Seen & Heard: Really? Now?

In some ways this is like an extended summer with people away in the Hamptons. If schools and offices come back even at partial capacity and staggered hours in the fall, the situation should improve. That said, I think (hope?) a lot of (younger, non-pre-existing-condition) people are going to adapt to life with COVID-19 because they are emotionally tired of the social isolation, home schooling, and working from home. Even if these become imperatives again temporarily in the fall/winter 2020/21, our neighborhood in particular has plenty of large loft spaces in less densely populated buildings better-suited IMO to social distancing than trying to live in some 60 or 70 story tower with shared elevators and communal amenities, whether in more densely packed neighborhoods or not. — james on Seen & Heard: Phase 1 action in the neighborhood
