Thank you for this article. Mary is truly an inspiration - her work is stunning. Her entire family is simply lovely...I never knew about the extent of her travels and awards - Amazing! — Barbara on Portrait of the Artist: Mary Jaeger

There's also a tiny Christmas tree outside of Manhattan Youth entrance on Warren St. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Tree decorating bandit reveals him/herself

I believe it is just the facade that is landmarked. The wonderful artist Donna Dennis(who designed the fence with ships around PS 234) was the last to leave this year. Alas. — Dianne Talan on 131 Duane Street adding a sixth floor

Such a treat to revisit Jane and her home, even if only virtually. And my painting is indeed wonderful! — Erik Torkells on Tenement Peeping: Jane Freeman’s walkup on Harrison

Maureen, maybe it was you? I think Sarabeth's will survive one less average diner. — Jim Smithers on Sarabeth’s Tribeca

Will - one of the managers is rude, unprofessional & abrasive. I won’t be coming back to be mistreated for their over priced average food - fancy diner. — Maureen Silverman on Sarabeth’s Tribeca

Finally, decent Greek coming to the neighborhood. This is much needed.! Very excited — Frida on Harry’s Italian is going Greek at former North End Grill

Well done, Robert! Yes, it's the Pat. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

there are like 4 of them total. hardly a chain restaurant. this kind of complaining seems silly. a "sign of the times" is a new local business moving in? — chris on Ecco! at the end of its era in Tribeca?

I think it's the Patriot on Chambers... — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?

I lived at One Hudson Street for 25 years. I was on the 3rd floor and my loft mate was Philippe Petit. It was a remarkable time to live in that neighborhood. When I moved there it wasn't called Tribeca. It was more indigenous. Washington Market since the area was flush with eggs, cheese, and wholesale food merchants. It was renamed by the Real Estate mavens that decided it needed a 'cool' name like Soho. I moved out after the first WTC bombing. I miss the 2000 square foot loft I use to ride my bicycle in very much! — Jim Moore on Tenement Peeping: Jane Freeman’s walkup on Harrison

This scratching of the car was not done with a key. The perp left a the metal staff on my car window after scratching my car in 2016. It looked like a bent version of the device used to open locked doors. I had saved it for quite a while after reporting it to the police. But there was no follow up by the police. — Lynn on Crimes and misdemeanors on Vestry Street

This random act of thoughtfulness warms my soul. It's kind that someone cares enough and takes the time to add some TLC to a lonesome looking neighborhood tree. — MattieNYC on Seen & Heard: Tree decorating bandit reveals him/herself

Ecco has been a Tribeca staple in the neighborhood since 1983. As a business owner, we have hosted many special occasions and holiday parties at Ecco. They even stayed open after 9/11. The restaurant and it’s staff will be terribly missed. We all hope that Ray, the owner, finds another location in Tribeca, really quickly!! — Ellen on Ecco! at the end of its era in Tribeca?

Just what we need, a chain replacing a restaurant of quality. What a waste and a sign of the times. — Sally on Ecco! at the end of its era in Tribeca?

Excited for when it opens! — Cordcutter on Harry’s Italian is going Greek at former North End Grill

That's why I said "two other"! — Tribeca Citizen on Harry’s Italian is going Greek at former North End Grill

There are THREE Harry's Italian locations. The third is practically around the corner of the North End Grill in Goldman Alley. :-) — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page( on Harry’s Italian is going Greek at former North End Grill

grey dog is a great, affordable place to eat. it will be a welcome addition and certainly serve more locals than ecco, plus it is not a rowdy crowd and they barely service wine and beer. not sure why there would be any resistance to this, considering you could also get a freaking pret or serafina in the storefront! — hmmmmmmm on Ecco! at the end of its era in Tribeca?

By far the best Lobster fra diavolo with linguini that I’ve ever had. Perfect every time. My wife and I would order a Caesar salad, clams oreganata, chicken scarpariello, and the aforementioned lobster and share it all. Excellent service and the atmosphere is of a bygone era. I hope they can recreate that if they do relocate. The place is a gem. — Michael Cavallo on Ecco! at the end of its era in Tribeca?

Great pics! But the ones highlighting the terrific art deco lobby, evidently kept in tip-top condition, point up the unfortunate reality that it, like the even more astonishing one at the Woolworth building, is closed to the public. Surly a system for allowing the public in on certain days might be devised? I have lived in the nabe long enough to remember when one could breeze through both of them at will . . . — George Bacon on The view of the neighborhood from 60 Hudson

Would love to see them move to the corner of Hudson where Acappella was. — Tribeca Mom on Ecco! at the end of its era in Tribeca?

First demolition then construction on the right, then demolition then construction on the left... can’t wait for some underneath! Gotta love the Friedmans! — just_another_resident_scapegoat on J&R’s music history will be preserved in (another!) new City Winery venue
