The City itself sold 346 Broadway aka 108 Leonard to these developers for $160 million plus an agreement to maintain public community space in the building. Had they wanted to, the City could have (reduced the sale price and) stipulated that the clock was to remain as it had been. One can hardly blame LPC for this foul-up. — James on In the News: City Winery will move to Pier 57

Don’t forget all the sponsors who participated in the kids corner! Spotlight Kids, Modern Martial Arts, Brooklyn Robot Foundry, Brooklyn Game Lab, and more! Everyone made it a fun filled day. — Mary on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

A shame that the Landmarks and Preservation Committee is obsessed with lying, manipulative, political "real estate developers" interests instead of NYC's architectural icons. What a disgusting display of a Democratic fundraisers' power over politicians in this city. — Sandy Mills on In the News: City Winery will move to Pier 57

It’s so sad to see this wonderful neighborhood institution go and I’m sure all of our pups will continue to drag us to Yvonne’s door! It’s Yvonne and small business operated with heart like Dudley’s Paw that made TriBeCa home. — Jill F on Saying goodbye to Dudley’s Paw, one dog at a time

"I want to rent a space where the neighbors will be implacably opposed to a commercial kitchen, liquor license, and sidewalk cafe," said no prospective restaurant tenant ever. — james on New restaurant for former Bouley space backs out

100 Franklin came out great! its nice to see this stretch of Tribeca develop with contextual yet progressive architecture — Tribeca4ever on Seen & Heard: 100 Franklin sheds its skin

Real estate brokers are licensed to negotiate a meeting of the minds in a real estate deal. The job of informing clients on the ins and outs of legalities with boards and zoning is the job of their attorney. — TG on New restaurant for former Bouley space backs out

Whatever it is, I would hang it in my lobby in two secs. Takes me back to my youth. — Pam Frederick on Seen & Heard: Soho/Noho planning meeting tonight

Right you are! (of course) I love that little guy... — Pam Frederick on Where in Tribeca?

Wow, congratulations for flawlessly organizing such an amazing community event for such a great cause. Even the weather was perfect! Looking forward to next year’s edition. Keep up the good work. I saw PS 89 parents working from 6:00 am this morning to 6:00 pm to make sure everyone else is having a great time! — BPCResident on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

It appears that even the school that shares a building with PS 89 (IS 289) does not benefit. Guessing PS 89 PTA believes there are not enough proceeds to make it worthwhile to spread between three schools. Adding the IS 289 and PS/IS 276 communities could potentially add to the value proposition for sponsors as well as increase the likelihood of the families in the other schools buying tickets, but PS 89 PTA's share of the proceeds would likely be less than what they earn operating the event alone. Full disclosure, I am a PS/IS 276 parent but I have not been part of discussions between the schools about this event. — Matt on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

My apologies I meant to type 60 Vestry above, regards, Sonia — Sonia Stock on Where in Tribeca?

Good Morning, this window is located at 60 Veatry Street and aka 436 Washington Street and yes it is one impressive building next to 70 Vestry! Regards, Sonia — Sonia Stock on Where in Tribeca?

Forgot to ask! Will find out. — Pam Frederick on Seen & Heard: Protest on Harrison against Heastie fundraiser

Dudley's Paw was one of my (and Chuy's) favorite shops in the neighborhood. Chuy would literally drag me to there to get Yvonne's generous offerings of liver treats. Such a loss :( — Kelly on Saying goodbye to Dudley’s Paw, one dog at a time

When is the Taco Bell wine and beer starting? — K on Seen & Heard: Protest on Harrison against Heastie fundraiser

The PS89 PTA and Taste of BPC team is welcoming and inclusive. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We would love to open a dialogue about partnering with 276. Please feel free to reach out directly communications@ps89pta.org — PS89 PTA Communications on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

yeah I kind of saw it that way as well - Afm/Ldd/Llm is probably the same person, bitter that 276 isn't part of the event. I was just trying to give him/her a chance to elaborate on their gripe. — lowphat on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

No one is excluded from this event and everyone is welcome to attend! Tickets can be purchase on Eventbrite : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/taste-of-battery-park-city-2019-tickets-54766527157 — Gaelle on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

Not sure anyone was ever “excluded”. Best to ask PS 89 PTA for an answer. My understanding is that school parents put in a lot of efforts to organize a nice community event to benefit the school and the children. — RT1975 on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

What a lovely event organized by the parents of Batter Park City!! Look forward to attending again and enjoying great food, great activities and benefiting a great cause, helping fund school activities at PS89! — BPCResident on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

Real estate brokers are often shortsighted and fail to warn their prospective tenant clients that buying or renting a retail condo (as opposed to renting in a single-owner rental building) in Tribeca for use as a bar or restaurant is often a fool's errand. Co-op and condo residents usually want a quiet, dry use in the building, and one cannot really blame then. However, they will often hold up the execution of leases, liquor license applications, and sidewalk cafe applications, and restaurateurs should be aware.

This is an appropriation, not an homage or pastiche IMO. At least the Pearl Paint sign remains in public view, unlike the Terra Cotta medallion removed from the facade of the demolished Tunnel Garage nearby at Broome and Thompson Sts. That was placed at the residents' roof deck of the successor building.
