Congratulations to the best team of hair stylists in the city — Joel Roskind on Tribeca Barber Spa will expand next door for women

Stupidity I tolerate. Ignorance makes me angry but I understand it. But couldn't there be some sort of filter for utter buffoonery and trolling in this comment section? — mulciber on Sonder has closed all its locations, including Duane Street Hotel

Keeping a bagel shop open isn't gonna increase the value of the building. Furthermore, I doubt the bagel place opens now. I'm fairly certain a huge part of their business calculations were the hotel guests and staff - because let's face it, it's kind of in a pedestrian dead zone. — jake on Sonder has closed all its locations, including Duane Street Hotel

It should be better for the creditors to keep a rent paying tenant in place to increase the value of the building in a sale, so hopefully the bagel place will still be able to open. — Reademan on Sonder has closed all its locations, including Duane Street Hotel

Great house, great story and great people. — G on Townhouse Peeping: 25 Harrison Street

Agreed ... in addition to it being one of the most photographed streets in the city, it is poorly drained and full of potholes... — WCJ on In the News: A deep dive into laying stone streets

I think it would be great to re-cobble Staple Street. It is certainly is used for films and photo shoots - you would think there would be incentive for the city to take this on. On two separate occasions - this was now a few years ago - my husband and I were walking home late at night and observed concrete mixer trucks pouring concrete onto Staple. When we asked, one driver finally admitted he could not turn his truck in with wet concrete still in his truck. If he did the concrete would harden and can become impossible to remove, ruining the mixer drum. Dumping on Staple was his solution that evening. — B on In the News: A deep dive into laying stone streets

… and I’ll continue to drink the water (filtered), but not the KoolAid … — Jeff on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Ms. Benzinger, please take heart and continue to thrive in this depressingly changed neighborhood. Still more than a few fine female (and male) artists and creatives huddling in old lofts. I am male and have lived down here since before the real estate industry dubbed it “Tribeca” ( the first death knell). Long discussions at the Delphi, standing on the street lunches in front of “Gus, the Sausage King”, co-ed volleyball on the weekend-empty parking lots … And now, as the world turns … we need you and others more than ever. — Jeff on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

In other local news, one of our high profile local restaurant groups has acquired the long vacant Tribeca Tavern space and has completely gutted it. Don’t know what their plan for the space is . . . — Reademan on Carnegie Diner & Café and Delos Greek Restaurant coming to 200 Chambers

Hi, Found this in Eater https://ny.eater.com/2025/5/21/24433838/carnegie-diner-carnegie-hall-lawsuit-nyc — DT on Carnegie Diner & Café and Delos Greek Restaurant coming to 200 Chambers

I have lived in Tribeca on and off since 1979…45 of the 50 years since my move to this fantastic city. The reveal of the pro-Cuomo stat is the first time I have been embarrassed about living in Tribeca….maybe I’ll have to go back to telling people what I told them in 1979 “ I live past Canal St”…,back to the days before we had Whole Foods and 4 star restaurants ..where our escapes were to the Mudd Club and the Odeon….where we used to find solutions to our problems with our neighbors…where there was more respect for women and what we did on our own AND there were a lot of women who moved down here on their own to create their world, and were admired for what they did…I consider it part of the history of NYC women….it was pioneer days down here. WHAT the hell happened to this once magical abandoned neighborhood??? Vote for Cuomo???? What is happening here? Can the water in Tribeca be checked? — Suzy Benzinger on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

As a city that is has the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, despite the poor choices for mayor, we still could not vote for someone that doesn't believe in Israel's continuing existence. — John R on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Sandra, Some of us in Tribeca are compassionate and see everyone on the street as a human being, regardless of whether they appear to have a home or to be unhoused. — Matthew on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Jay Street needs a refresh!! — Brian M. on In the News: A deep dive into laying stone streets

Some big neighborhood news from the Post: https://nypost.com/2025/11/09/business/carnegie-diner-owner-expanding-to-chambers-street/ — Reademan on Seen & Heard: Tre Sorelle has reopened

Replying to JSA: Interesting note, though please keep in mind the intricate and fluid relationships among NYC's many modes of travel -- not just for-hire vehicles and bicycles, but also cars, subways and buses. Consider that congestion pricing has led to a double-digit rise in fare trips in yellow cabs. Why? The drop in private cars has made taxis a better bargain twice over: by making taxis faster (less traffic) and cheaper (less "wait time" on the meter), more than offsetting the impact of the additional 75-cent surcharge. In the same way, expanded biking infra (which btw was not a Mamdani campaign plank) could redound to taxi drivers' benefit. Even if it doesn't, the benefit to the drivers so far from CP (which, btw, Mamdani vigorously supported, unlike Cuomo, who waffled, and Sliwa, who opposed) has given him some wiggle room. And this too: all things equal, a more prosperous city -- which Mamdani did campaign for -- will be good for cabbies and Uber drivers alike. Anyway, stay tuned! — Komanoff on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Maybe he should have worked harder to win the primary, in which only Democrats could vote. — malcolm on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Of course TriBeCa chose the corrupt politician who targeted nyc relentlessly as governor. Congrats Mamdani - I voted for you in Tribeca! — Alice Evans on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Because in Europe the stones are laid very close to each other, facilitating transmission of sideways force over a large area, many stones. But in NYC they are placed with a thick layer of concrete in between.The concrete is a less-resilient transmitter of sideways force, erodes, leaving individual stones with insufficient support against sideways motion. — MaxB on The city is repairing one block of Greenwich cobblestones

Everyone commenting here realizes Cuomo is a democrat? Actually Mamdani is the imposter who basically laughed in the face of the democratic party by voting on the Working Parties Line. — Sam on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Mr Komanoff, Mara Gay noted Mayor Mamdani’s connection with taxi and Uber drivers. It is my understanding that Mayor Mamdani significantly favors expanding the bicycling infrastructure and reducing vehicles. If that is correct, then taxi and Uber drivers may be quite unhappy. Taxi drivers especially bear the brunt of closed streets and shrunken streets. — JSA on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Am a bit surprised at the extent of votes for Cuomo. Actually a number of people we know did not cast a vote for mayor or else wrote in - Brad Lander, Kathryn Garcia and others. One neighbor who voted for Brad in the primary voted for Cuomo very reluctantly. Anyway am guessing that Luxury Real Estate will not need to worry and that this administration will do deals just like deBlasio etc. Mayor Mamdani has noted his support for City of Yes and the housing proposals. While most City progressive elected officials message the need for affordable housing (yes), few seem to pay any attention to actually maintaining affordable housing and helping residents keep their housing - such as when landlords vacate/warehouse apartments to sell buildings for teardown or landlords keep apartments in deplorable condition. — Lisa on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

These people are lovely and professional. Just bought a subscription — Laura Day on Med spa coming to Duane Park space

There are rational reasons to vote either way, as we can all see from the comments above. I don't agree with many of Mamdani's proposed policies but I want the best for him because it will mean the best for our city. I hope the community around us can rally to do what we can to support the city and help Mamdani be the best mayor he can be. He is rational (look at the campaign he's run, a successful optimization engine) and has already made decisions which I think indicate he is willing to take a more centrist approach on things that are working well based on initial hires (e.g. keeping Jessica Tisch on, bringing Lina Khan on). I hope we can all think about where in the ven diagram we overlap and help the city thrive. We can do that at the same time as pushing back on issues we care about with rational and reasonable arguments. This neighborhood is wonderful on a day to day basis, we are all good people with different perspectives that make this city what it is. — Community Oriented on Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca
