definitely a hater! mentioning Trump and Hitler! So republicans are deplorables? So what are democrats?? Shame on you to post hate on Tribeca Citizen. Shame on you. — Native on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

Hey Jim Smithers, who are you to say I'm naïve! Oh, I assume your one of the entitled living down here. I was being nice mentioning respectful of others! I fell off a truck!! I was born and raised down here! We built this neighborhood and many other neighborhoods in this city! The city isn't safe already once it gets dark and is going to get worse! I bet you will be running to get out as soon as things get bad, which they will!!! Mentioning politics that have nothing to do with opening Duane Street! Shame on you !!!!!! Yes, I want to see Duane Street open to people enjoying it and being respectful!! nothing to do with politics!!!! Go pack up and go to your house in the Hamptons!!!! — Native on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

I thought aircraft was not allowed to fly over Manhattan since 9/11. That noise was assaultively loud. — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: Tribeca’s Kitchen on its way back

native or naive? "As long as people are minduful and respectful to residents" - sweet Jesus of Nazareth, did you just fall off the turnip truck? That's not going to happen. Just look at the beaches and the anti-mask machos. Lots of people are deplorable. Lots. That's how Trump and Hitler came to power. — Jim Smithers on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

Let's open up Washington Market Park to traffic! — Jim Smithers on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

Was hearing the jets were part of a salute to 'virtual' fleet week — j frank parnell on Seen & Heard: Tribeca’s Kitchen on its way back

i live up the block from Duane Street. I would love to see the street "open" as a temporary plaza. As long as people are minduful and respectful to residents, why not. I rather see people enjoying the little park and restuarants instead of the homeless and preditors I am seeing around as soon as it gets dark. Something needs to be done and now. Scary! — native on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

Would love to see this happen! Would love to see lots of restaurants in the neighborhood get to expand their outdoor seating. Anything to help tribeca come back. — K on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

The Le District market closed around April 1st, rather abruptly — Lisa on Seen & Heard: Tribeca’s Kitchen on its way back

Include his short film in the TriBeCa Film Festival. — yo Bobby D on COVID-19: The neighborhood as seen on two wheels

Where's the social distancing at Shake Shack? I don't see it in that photo. Five people all wearing masks (good) but clustered together (not good - where is the staff member to regulate?) — Keep Your Distance on Seen & Heard: Tribeca’s Kitchen on its way back

welcome back! great food and lovely people! — Mary Amsterdam on Max is back in action

Arjun! You’ve done beautiful work here. You’ve captured what so many of us feel as we walk the streets of our beloved city. Good luck in your future endeavors! — Kimberly M. Wang on COVID-19: The neighborhood as seen on two wheels

I'm surprised that The Hideaway hasn't taken responsibility for the trash they are creating on the street outside of their place of business. There are empty cups and food wrappers on the street and filling all of the Citibike baskets on the rack directly in front of the business. It seems their attitude is one where they feel that the trash is no longer their responsibility once they get their cash and sling the merchandise out the window. Sad really for what was once a great neighborhood focused watering hole. Puffys and Weather Up seem to have taken responsibility and both maintain clean streets. Surprising in that they are clearly operating on a shoestring on an attempt to survive. Unfortunately for them, they'll quickly realize the error in their "not my problem" attitude when the city comes to fine or shut them down destroying what little income they have been able to generate. Walking a block past this weekend I overheard a pedestrian on her cell phone speaking with 311 (I assume) to voice her complaints. I truly hope they get their act together — Duane on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

This is a real concern. I'd love to see Duane Street closed to traffic, and believe that there is a way to do it. However, the growing "sidewalk bar" scene has made it hard for residents to safely navigate back to their homes. The only option right now is to walk in the street. Keep in mind the number of people on the street who are over 70 or are otherwise at risk. One option would be have clearly distinguished seating options similar to what happened in Domino Park. The challenge will be the lines up to the bars and figuring out a pathway for pedestrians while maintaining social distance. — Duane Street on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

I'm all for this on side streets that make sense. This needs to be implemented quickly so the restaurants can take advantage of the warmer months, and there needs to be a system for garbage and recycling, and restroom facilities. — B on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

Welcome back. Have always loved Max. Would be great if you could shake up the menu a little bit. some new options would be great. — Nosey Neighbor on Max is back in action

So beautiful! — Lee on COVID-19: The neighborhood as seen on two wheels

Many of the streets in downtown Manhattan could be closed/restricted for motor vehicles, with very little additional pain for drivers and a boon to residents and visitors (our city's tourism and especially our restaurants, to name just two, are going to need all the 'boost' they can get when things return to normal). — Rob Foran on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

That’s wasn’t an empty stoop it is our home and we are sick and tired of people gathering on it leaving garbage and smoking that comes straight into our building and our children’s bedrooms. I LOVE my neighborhood but people must be respectful and remember that people live here and deserve peace quiet and cleanliness in, on and around their homes. — Lee on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

Bad idea. Duane St is a through street to Broadway. If it was closed it would add more traffic to Chambers St. We don't need more room for the adult playground at Laughing Moms. — Paul S on Let’s close Duane Street to through traffic for summer

This is truly heart breaking. So many memories at Gee Whiz over the many years I lived there. Before and after 911. Before and after I adopted my daughter. It’s endless how many memories And their love and kindness will always be remembered and a part of the Tribeca community. I am truly so sad and send many blessings and much love to both Andy and Pete. ❤️???? — Susan Spiegler on Peter Panayiotou, the owner of Gee Whiz, dies from the coronavirus

Lemon Chicken is the best! So happy they are back! — Tribeca Mom on Max is back in action

I was so sad when I read this. He was such a kind and gentle and caring man and doctor. I went to him for many years. Wishing his family much love. — Susan Spiegler on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Dermot was a great barman, really enjoyed meeting him in 2016. I do hope that somehow this decision will be reversed. Best of luck from Ireland to all the staff and patrons of this lovely establishment. — Adam Byrne on After 147 years at the Seaport, The Paris Café is closing for good
