I flew to new york specifically to eat in this revered establishment. This is beyond devastating....dark times indeed. Is there anything we can do? Shall we start a gofundme or kickstarter so i can get my tender kicks again? — The colonel on Dirty Bird To Go on Chambers is closed

Same could be said of a building resident renter. — Liz on First Sonder, then an armed robbery at 20 Broad

Would love a gym too two cents. — Jennifer on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

Mouth is agape. $80m- — Bynorthemore on In the News: Construction back on at St. Nicholas Church

A community space for families founded by long-time residents in the neighborhood?!!!! I am horrified at this news. We NEED A SUPERMARKET – A REAL COMPLETE SUPERMARKET!!! — Jim Smithers on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

See the updated post. — Tribeca Citizen on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

UPDATE: I was just informed that Cocoon is similar in business model to https://thewonder.us/ A family center. Not a party club. They still are asking for a wine and beer license..... Just wanted to update you, because of comments I made regarding what I thought they were. In any case, the tenants at IP and residents we speak to in Tribeca have expressed a desire for a supermarket to move into the space again. Originally, IP tenants had to go to the city to help whomever would eventually move into that space acquire a UDAG loan. It was raw space and a lot of money was needed That eventually became the Food Emporium. (FE went bankrupt and though some of the stores were bought over and the name kept, most went out. Best Market was a temporary experiment by the company.) Why not just keep it going? People above profit once in a while would be a great thing. An amenity for the high rents would be the decent thing to do. Thanks for listening. — Diane Lapson on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

The food at 10 Corso Como was quite good and I hope they reopen in the Spring, but the space itself is far too large. I think they would succeed with a smaller footprint. Maybe the space they give up could be used by another restaurant with a different cuisine. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on 10 Corso Como restaurant closed … for now?

Almost criminal that this size of a building is $80M. — DB on In the News: Construction back on at St. Nicholas Church

Frankly was hoping for an affordable gym. I, for one, will never use a "party space" there. Too many great, local bars and restaurants that can be rented out if need be. — My two cents worth on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

It's gonna look nice when it's done. Kudos on the construction not being intrusive in terms of pedestrian navigation. — AJ on Nosy Neighbor: What’s the latest on Bogardus Garden?

Personally, I prefer the TriBeCa of the late '70s when I moved here. There were no grocery stores, no corner delis, no nannies hogging the entire sidewalk with double-wide strollers and only a few restaurants. What there was was a close-knit art community and a rare serenity for an urban neighborhood. Oh well...at least I'll make a small fortune when I sell my loft. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

Diane, Please note: there are groceries available in the area. "...circa 1975. We had to stand in the street and get thousands of signatures to push the city to help push the landlord to rent out any of the commercial spaces which were always empty." So nothing has changed? Except, again, there are groceries available in the area. And booze & clothing for the children!!! — Jim Smithers on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

Thank you TRIBECA CITIZEN for posting in the first place and all your updates. Much appreciated. To those who feel the need to write "Oh no, Mr. Bill," comments, thinking they are ready for Saturday Night Live, please note: By all means, audition. Some of your comments made me laugh out loud as well as those in my office. Good job entertaining us with your quick wit. Though showing a sign of social awkwardness and lack of ability to control certain emotional conditions, when others are seriously compassionate and protective over a neighborhood that took decades to develop - and appreciate the amenities we used to have and would like back -- evidently you do not need groceries for your families. Party on court jesters. — diane lapson on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

Thanks for the correct, James. I still do think we need a supermarket, though. In any case I'm hoping many people can show up on short notice to CB1 Wednesday to discuss. — Diane Lapson on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

It seems a business that holds parties would like to move into that space. Wednesday night a lot of community residents are going to go to the Community Board meeting to the licensing committee where they are discussing the liquor license for this entity. We need a supermarket - not a club. However, Vornado is calling the shots. We hope that with enough community response, we will once again have a full supermarket in that location. Aside from Whole Foods, which only has specific products, many neighbors have reported needing products that are only available in a more inclusive supermarket. The business is named Cocoon. — Diane Lapson on Community Board 1 agendas for January 2020

I don't think that's your real name — Jim Smithers on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

Where and how was the old field material disposed of?? (There is no regular real recycling of these fake fields in the US). And “virgin rubber” is still generally a synthetic product and still creates massive plastic pollution (along with the plastic carpet component). And we now know there are PFAS chemicals in the plastic carpeting as well. Not to mention the heat generated by these artificial fields (often hotter than asphalt.) — Amanda Farber on Rolling out the (artificial) green carpet

See my update to this post. This Cocoon is a different Cocoon than the party space Cocoon. — Tribeca Citizen on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

Correction, whatever you were planning to do with your future enterprise. — David G Imber on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

I'm sorry, a lot of people have gone to a great deal of trouble to get exercised about your demonic intent. I'm afraid whatever you were planning to do with the space you are now going to have to sell liquor to children so that those folks will not have thrown a fit in vain. — David G Imber on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space
