Sad to see. I was going to try them soon. I wonder how the market is for restaurants at this price level in that location. I only knew of them for taking my dog to Water4Dogs which shares that building. I just looked in the other day and trying to match the # of patrons to the price to the rent. I hope the space gets filled soon — Patrick C Valentino on Tetsu will close on Friday
you are so right on--they don't need to fix anything--they need to lower the rents so a pizzeria doesn't have to pay $40,000 per month. No grocery, no deli all priced out despite having successful businesses. This storefront is a scam and no one should trust this awful owner and associates — chaia ganson on Action at the IPN storefronts from N. Moore to Duane

Greenwich and Harrison outside independence Plaza — Tribeca Lover on Where in Tribeca?
Perhaps you should call this the Gindi’s latest attempt to do something with the space. Century 21 Department Stores owns the building. They own 385 Greenwich aka 71 North Moore, 77 Warren, 190a Duane, 109 -111 W. Broadway, the old Bouley and Bouley Bakery at 120 and 130 West Broadway. They owned 287 Broadway where Abramcyk was evacuated at Pizza Cafe, two weeks before they started a fire at Smith & Mills, where our lofts since 1982 were illegally vacated. The owners are vertical in all these buildings. They are one of the biggest nightclub operators in this the city. They are the money behind Tenjune. They owned The Oak Room at The Plaza, Abe & Arthur, SL. — TheNeighbor on A Summer Day Cafe closed?
I think they changed the time? Their website says 11 to 1, though their notice to me said 11 to 2. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Will the cookie see its shadow?
Is the Duane Park groundhog celebration 11-1, or 11-2 as stated in your earlier article please. https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2020/01/28/seen-heard-groundhog-day-at-duane-park/ — Punx Phil on Seen & Heard: Will the cookie see its shadow?
All of you haters and naysayers say what you want. Anything that preserves that beautiful building, hopefully reduces the throngs of illegal sellers of counterfeit goods out front, and upgrades the retail in our area which has been dominated by “Jean’s unlimited” and their brethren is ok by me. You can call it bourgeois, gentrification etc. How many of you shop at those discount stores along Broadway that have going out of business sales every other month. C’mon. It might struggle to survive but I am rooting for them. — TheBlackSquirrel on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
You can also get Papyrus cards and wrap on Amazon and also at Duane Reade and other retailers that sell cards. With the Papyrus strategy of making their products available just about anywhere, they eliminated the need for their own stores. And the COO cites ‘current challenges of the retail industry.' Duh. — PeterD on All Papyrus stores are closing this month
Beef and Broccoli? Who orders that?That is one of the worst dishes to order for "Chinese Take Out" which seems like its own genre. I didn't know this restaurant even existed, but the menu looks great. I wish her all the luck! — cami on Today’s Tomorrow is a Chubby Princess
I am so hopeful that this happens. This area is a blight on NYC. Everyday, I am accosted by dozens of counterfeit goods sellers on either side of Broadway, as well as drug dealers. It's a beautiful building and I'd love to see it occupied to its full potential. — B'way Resident on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
Very exciting!! So much has changed over the past 2 years on Canal, between the art pop ups, fashion shows and the Guild.. Canal has been looking better and better... This corner is the anchor of Canal and if they pull off this project then Canal will turn the corner! (But im skeptical given how long weve been hearing about this market).. who knows! — Ethan B on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
You can still get some Papyrus product at the Barnes & Noble Tribeca location. They have a great selection of greeting cards and gift wrap. — RP on All Papyrus stores are closing this month
That's implied in the issuance of the revocable consent to the restaurateur. That said, I understand Title 6 RCNY 2-44 was amended in 2019 to add: "(d) Whenever a petitioner submits a petition to operate an enclosed sidewalk cafe for which a consent issued to another person had lapsed or was terminated, the commissioner may authorize such petitioner to operate the existing sidewalk cafe at such premises pending the approval of consent for operating such cafe provided that the structure and the plans for the cafe are the same as the cafe for which a consent to operate a sidewalk cafe had previously been granted, and provided further that the petitioner has acquired his or her interest in the restaurant to be operated at such premises from the former holder of the consent in an arm's length transaction as specified in section 20-227.1(f) in the administrative code of the City of New York." It's unclear whether this applies strictly to transfers or whether it is interpreted also to apply to new rentals of vacant restaurant spaces formerly so used. — James on A Summer Day Cafe closed?
Bold and ambitious...Sounds intriguing. Can it succeed at this troubled corner? I wish them well and would certainly be happy to have more grocery options...By "general goods" does that mean some kind of department store? — Marcus on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
During my 14 years on CB4, it was my understanding -- and I tried digging for this rule to confirm but could not find it -- that just like sidewalk cafes, enclosed sidewalk cafes are not attached to the building or the landlord but rather the permittee. Once a business moves on, the sidewalk cafe must come down and the new owner has to apply for one. — Tribeca Citizen on A Summer Day Cafe closed?
This guy doesn't have a clue about what do with this space so here's an idea for him: Open a neighborhood luncheonette. Super Linda now this whatever. You don't have a clue dude. — Bar Rescue on A Summer Day Cafe closed?
Haven't seen Russell in months, maybe even since the summer. — JC on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park
"Pretentious Trendy Generator app" That's perfect! God save us! — Phyllis Ruffer on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
As JC says, her name is Audra. She said she was from Florida. I did call 311, who actually passed the call over to 911. When I asked about her at the 1st precinct, I was was told she regularly was approached and refused any assistance. — Phyllis Ruffer on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park
It's like that Chinese restaurant "66"-located just a couple of blocks from Chinatown--that Vongerichten opened and closed years ago. — James on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
Was this conceived by The Pretentious Trendy Generator app? My god--what even does half of this mean in real life? — cami on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
If you going to walk over to B'way & Canal walk the extra couple of blocks to DiPalo's on Mulberry at Mott. DiPalo's is the real deal. — V. Stewart on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
So the folks in Robert Stern's luxury building could look down their noses at the Woolworth. — George Bacon on Loft Peeping: The Woolworth Building’s pavilions
Having just participated again in HOPE 2020, counting the homeless, it is a very educational, enlightening, and rewarding experience. Each team that counts a designated area has a professional team leader with them. I have learned from them over the years that as hard as it is, please do not give them food, money, etc. (I have been guilty) but instead call 311 so that a professional can engage with them. The goal is to get them off the streets and into the system that can aid them. And we realize mental illness is a very large contributing factor. As my team leader told me on Monday, there is a story and that is what they try to uncover. As far as what we neighbors can do, be kind to them but call 311. And btw, has anybody seen Russell? We are worried about him. — Carla Bauer on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park
