Ruben, you are correct that is me in the article a while back and to answer Jenny's question dated May 20th I am in residential/commercial real estate and work for Douglas Elliman located at 140 Franklin Street in Tribeca as a real estate sales agent. Hence I spend an incredible amount of time walking the streets of Tribeca and as I also live here I remember things that most people would probably just walk by and pay no attention to especially to the minor details of the buildings that surround us. It is no secret I put in a lot of hours walking and jogging. Above all I have always liked a challenge! If for some reason I might not know the "Where in Tribeca" I would simply never give up until I found it. I call it the "Winston Churchill approach" but that might have something to do with being English born and my upbringing.. Hope that answers your question Jenny and Reuben. — Sonia F.

The Oculus is easily the biggest waste of space and money I have ever seen in my lifetime. What a shame we are all stuck with it now and forever. — PeterD on In the News: The Oculus has a leak

Sorry to see them go. I could always count on them when I needed a special gift for the kids in my life. Good luck Carol. — JSM on More bad news: Torly Kid will close mid-summer

"I'm shocked! With all the money they spent, I can't believe the Oculus leaks!"...said no one ever. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on In the News: The Oculus has a leak

As for the billboard, couldn't the city fine the advertisers who use the billboard? That might be an effective way to end this. Or at least raise some money for the city to fix the subway. — Marcus on In the News: The Oculus has a leak

You've got a point but who cares - I wish these gals good luck. More room on the piers, parks and walkways for us regular folk. NYC is Raleigh NC now (well in many spots but not all) we just have to get used to it or move. — TG on The Wonder is open for (members-only) business

WOW, nothing like kicking them when they are down! You threw their desserts out! Yea right. — TG on Baked Tribeca is closing

There's a waiting list of people already requesting membership, and from the wording it seems that the issue is that they are still determining how the place will function physically. It makes sense to look at age groups and configurations of children. It doesn't seem like (and I hope it's not) a situation where the wealthy will "bid" on spots to the exclusion of others. I assume the ability to pay the fee is the only limit to participation. — David G Imber on The Wonder is open for (members-only) business

Maybe they can finally fix the water fountain drain that disgustingly pools with water, food and dirt near the playground — Ron on Seen & Heard: First ever fundraiser for Washington Market Park

Love that place and always has people in it! Have to feel that changing NYC landscape is a nice way of saying rent is too high. That's the issue in Tribeca, only the chains will survive. Used to be nail salons, banks and dry cleaners...now it's chains who can afford the rent. — Tmk on Baked Tribeca is closing

Right you are!! Those brass details are so clever and fun. They should make replicas for the folks that live there. — Pam Frederick on Where in Tribeca?

A true loss for the neighborhood. — Pamela on More bad news: Torly Kid will close mid-summer

Sonia- I am so curios about how you know every single one. What is your background? — Jenny on Where in Tribeca?

Hi Pam, this is located at 140 West Street on the bronze door of the original 1927 Landmark Art Deco At & T (Verizon building ), which is also apart of 100 Barclay the 33- storey condominium. These nature images appear all over this building if you take a closer look. It is a pretty special building with an unbelievable lobby entrance. Definitely worth a look if you like historic buildings of this nature, regards, Sonia Stock — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca?

@IJM We aren't looking to sell out to bankers or even good ol' neighborhood residents who just need to find a cheap place to live. (I'm in a different downtown neighborhood for over 30 years, and have no plans to leave, even if my landlord offered me a sweet buyout.) I love ARC, and donate to it regularly; I guess you can call it self-interest that makes me want to see it flourish, because I dread the thought of yet another designer shoe boutique or artisanal bar. — Fallopia Tuba on Archive of Contemporary Music hanging by a vinyl thread

No. You are about 15 years too early on the year of construction. — Pam Frederick on Where in Tribeca?

I honestly can't believe it lasted this long. The cookies were shockingly bad, and considering Arcade, Billy's, Mamaan and Grandaisy are two blocks away it's not a surprise. I can remember very few times in my life where I ever threw out desserts, but more than once at Baked I did because they just were not good. — MF on Baked Tribeca is closing

I am not sure, but are they part of the Woolworth Building? — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?

"Evaluating applications" for what, the parent's income bracket? This place sounds anti-democratic, anti-community and of a piece with the conversion of Tribeca into a boring, colorless enclave for the rich. Why live in a diverse city if you don't want to encounter people unlike you? — Tribeca Flattened on The Wonder is open for (members-only) business

Curious. Maybe! — Pam Frederick on The Wonder is open for (members-only) business

Sorry, sorry. Was rushing. — Pam Frederick on Baked Tribeca is closing
