Does anyone know what happened to the Winston’s sign? I have asked several owners of businesses that have been there since, with no leads. I would love to purchase it. — Andrew on Winston’s fails to launch

Josh and Seara are two of my favorite people in the neighborhood. And the new shop, as expected, is nothing short of perfection. We love those guys. Thanks for posting this. — A Tribeca Parent on Old Kids, Second Block: Interlude Murray

"An ICE spokesperson told CBS News New York Fernandez is 'an illegal alien with two prior convictions,' both for driving while intoxicated, from 2003 and 2014." https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/tribeca-square-diner-waiter-detained-ice/ — James Bogardus on An update on Luis Fernandez from the Square Diner

DUI — Heide Fasnacht on An update on Luis Fernandez from the Square Diner

I guess they didn't do any work/change anything - it looks exactly like what Azabu was like. — H on Few specifics — but pictures! — on the restaurant coming to Azabu

This is going to be a very delicious, dangerous reality for us. — J on PopUp bagels now targeting November opening

Apparently both were for driving while intoxicated — James Bogardus on An update on Luis Fernandez from the Square Diner

Read on CBS News that ICE reported both convictions were DUI’s — Reader On Reade on An update on Luis Fernandez from the Square Diner

Huge upgrade for the neighborhood! Great bagels! — Tribeca Dad on PopUp bagels now targeting November opening

Yes I am also curious about what happened 11 and 22 years ago! Open container? Speeding violation? If ICE is not forthcoming I’m guessing they are extremely minor infractions — Gwen on An update on Luis Fernandez from the Square Diner

@John Brush. My dad was the 1st Mate (i think ) under Cpt. Guild. Does the name Frank Hardy ring a bell? — Andrea campo on Nosy Neighbor: What’s the story with the ship docked at Pier 25?

What were the convictions in 2003 and 2014? — Talg on An update on Luis Fernandez from the Square Diner

Thank you for your continued coverage on this. — Wendy on An update on Luis Fernandez from the Square Diner

It will be interesting to see how the new developer works around the concrete pilings which were sunk along the entire border of 65 Franklin (red outline in the map above). It will certainly limit the uses for sub-basements in the combined lot. Regardless, glad to see this sad site will see new life, although the 20-story height will be a shame for some of the lower buildings that surround it. Such is life in NYC though — Chris on Plans are filed for 65 Franklin construction

This checks out. They told me on Insta DM that they were targeting the fall last week — BPC Dad on PopUp bagels now targeting November opening

This is only happening because the Latino population is predicted to be the largest population in years to come and they hate it. This is a disgrace and a shame and God is going to hold this government accountable. — Coy on ICE detains longtime waiter at the Square Diner

Post-pandemic, most schools in the neighborhood were under-enrolled. I have not checked the numbers lately -- but will! — Tribeca Citizen on Plans are filed for 65 Franklin construction

As an empty nester, I am out of the loop on the local public schools. I am, nevertheless, curious. Is over-crowding still a problem? — Manhattanmommie on Plans are filed for 65 Franklin construction

I used to work there. Nice place to work. The staff and management were pleasant. Sorry to hear that it closed. Beautiful sauna downstairs with lounge area for the clients. — Davida on Tribeca Beauty Spa will close next month

The owner of 358 sold his property to Rabsky. The two lots are merged and they also bought more air rights. So this building will fill both lots (where all three buildings stood). — Streetwalker on Plans are filed for 65 Franklin construction

That story is an example of how over-reaction here, whether opportunistic, political, principled, or otherwise, is undermining the ability to respond (via decriminization) to the real problems everyone sees in front of us. I do not remember this level of panic from the time when the Obama administration deported over 3 million people. — James Bogardus on ICE detains longtime waiter at the Square Diner

Okay. You responded to my initial comment about this detention with the Gothamist story about decriminalizing street vending while saying I had an 'orange-sky-is-falling' attitude. Whatever that means. There seemed to be an implication you were making. If not, then good, though I still fail to see why you'd reply with that story to my plea for people to think about the bigger stories beyond our local issues. Either way, I hope you have a nice weekend. — malcolm on ICE detains longtime waiter at the Square Diner

Thank you TRIBECA CITIZEN, for highlighting this momentous grant for the TRIBECA ALLIANCE. I remember when Ann and David came around to our shop back in 2016 to invite me to the founding meeting. To now have the NYLS help us win this grant is amazing and much appreciated! — Patrick Hall - ÉLAN FLOWERS on Local merchants group will be revived with city funds

I did not suggest sending ICE after the vendors, and your implication is entirely false. It is this kind of hysterical attitude that is leading The City Council to decriminalize illegal street vending. Clearly decriminalizing street vending does nothing to clean up and get rid of the vendors. I would prefer not to live with these conditions just to preserve others' principles and salve their consciences. — James Bogardus on ICE detains longtime waiter at the Square Diner

That is the same owners etc I saw on the DOB's site for 65 Franklin. — Tribeca Citizen on Plans are filed for 65 Franklin construction
