The original cobblestone streets were in great condition until they ripped them up in the early 2000’s. Years later with the initiative to re-cobblestone the streets they were a mess from day one. Laying cobblestone is an art and the city obviously did not hire artisans to replace the beautiful stones they had years earlier recklessly ripped up. You could bike easily on the old cobblestones, walk in heels, drive smoothly. You cannot do any of the aforementioned since the day those stones were laid. They should have stuck with the pavement. — JD on Nosy Neighbor: Just how many lanes are on Greenwich?

I disagree with mr. ugly’s comment. They are beautiful! They will add a wonderful sculptural element to the park, just wait and see. — Mark D. on The eggs are coming! Bogardus is making progress

Modell's is an anachronism. Their clothing selection is for people six feet tall only and their sporting goods selection is subpar. There's nothing there you can't order online for better quality and a lower price e.g. I could get a pair of mesh shorts with pockets for only $8.99 on Ebay. Modell's doesn't sell mesh shorts or ones with pockets and if they do it's with a ridiculous minimum 10 inch inseam cuz you know, everyone is at least six feet tall. — Gotta Go Away on In the News: Two Modell’s on Broadway trying to stay alive

They look hideous, absolutely hideous. How 'bout more green? You know, trees, bushes, flowers. Instead we have ugly stone behemoths. Play objects and seating...because Washington Market Park's playground is not enough for kids. Btw what "playing" is a kid gonna do? Climb on the egg and jump off it? And land where? What if the kid lands on his head? Hits into someone? So if I sit on one egg some annoying kid will play on another? When did this neighborhood become all about the kids and their playtime? And nothing is better to sit on than a cold hard stone so forget most elderly people sitting on them. Oh yeah - get used to food left and drinks spilled on them. — rotten eggs on The eggs are coming!

Does anyone know what they are currently doing on the corner of broadway and Worth? Finally see some movement. Hoping they don’t rip the street up again... — Pete on Construction update part two: Worth Street

they have a right to sell what they want — chaia ganson on Seen & Heard: Business grants for storefronts south of Murray

shame firm is very charitable--more greedy landlords downtown — chaia ganson on In the News: Two Modell’s on Broadway trying to stay alive

I added the diagram now filed with DOB, so you can see the setback. — Tribeca Citizen on Breaking ground on the Firmdale hotel on Warren

i've bought stuff there twice in the last month. the staff was very helpful and nice. price was reasonable how do you buy sneakers or swim goggles without trying them on? i hope they can hang on. before you know it the rest of manhattan will be like tribeca: destination restaurants, banks and gourmet coffee. — josh on In the News: Two Modell’s on Broadway trying to stay alive

The owner of Blood Manor is cursed. May he have no joy or peace while continues to haunt this neighborhood. — Joseph on Seen & Heard: Business grants for storefronts south of Murray

https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/the-history-of-tribeca-buildings/the-history-of-280-broadway-the-sun-building/ "Following the end of World War II Henry Modell, owner of the sporting goods chain, established the Modell Veteran Training Center in a retail space. Mayor William O’Dwyer officially opened the facility on March 23, 1946. The dual-purpose establishment both trained wounded and handicapped veterans for private life and sold surplus war supplies. "By 1949 the training center had been phased out, replaced by a Modell’s store. It was at the Broadway location that the mayor cut the cake to celebrate the chain’s 60th anniversary." — James on In the News: Two Modell’s on Broadway trying to stay alive

Miss seeing you around Rocco, and miss playing tennis with you! — Steve A on Catching Up With: Rocco and Stacy Cadolini

Even more of a question is why there is no yellow dividing line on Harrison Street between West and Greenwich Streets where that section is a 2-way street! — Dennis Aita on Nosy Neighbor: Just how many lanes are on Greenwich?

I understand the rear of the building will be set back 30 feet from the property line, so no view but some light and air. — James on Breaking ground on the Firmdale hotel on Warren

Truth in Branding. Great business concept but unfortunate execution and follow thru. 4 piece of over-fried, dry chicken, with a salad and a side from Gee Whiz will set you back $20. Any other Fried Chicken places to recommend? — Craving Fried Chicken on Dirty Bird To Go on Chambers is closed

I'm curious to hear from the people living behind the construction site. The hotel is going to block their view. — DT on Breaking ground on the Firmdale hotel on Warren

The sand-setting is also for "sustainability," per the NYCDOT Street Design Manual, "3.1.10 Granite Block" "Should be sand-set for easier installation and greater permeability wherever impermeable installation generates stormwater runoff [...] "Can be mortar-set for stronger structural properties" — James on Nosy Neighbor: Just how many lanes are on Greenwich?

I was struck by the lack of personnel vehicles, instead lots of people walking and public transportation. Maybe we should get back to that? — David on A stroll through the city, and downtown, in 1911

Great video of Crosby Street Hotel. — G on Breaking ground on the Firmdale hotel on Warren

They set new Belgian blocks in sand it seems. When that shifts from under them the whole integrity is shot. Maybe it’s easier to dig them up for road works but they’re awful. Should have left all the messed up ones and holes in that intersection from the tunnel and slow up all the NJ drivers headed to WSH. — Cd on Nosy Neighbor: Just how many lanes are on Greenwich?

This is fantastic. Very happy for them! — Jeff on Catching Up With: Rocco and Stacy Cadolini
