This place lagged in every aspect. The service, the food, the beer freshness/availability, everything was just bad. Could of been amazing given the location and space, its like a 1.5/5 star at best. Plus reading these other comments about scummy ownership I am glad to see this place close their doors for good. — Daniel K. on Seen & Heard: Tribeca Tap House has closed
Hi Pam, this is located on the AC vent for the Holland Tunnel on the other side of Canal Street on Greenwich Street. It is on the front main entrance to the vent. I think this might be Soho here not Tribeca? best regards, Sonia Stock — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca?
I would check with them. — Pam Frederick on Pancake update: Bubby’s is closing for 10 to 12 weeks
So- Saturday is only day open this weekend? Or is it open Sunday too? — C Stansberry on Pancake update: Bubby’s is closing for 10 to 12 weeks
It's worth mentioning that this scaffold scofflaw edifice is the headquarters building of the NYC Department of Buildings. They fully embrace NYCHA's motto: "Do as I say, not as I do." — James on The sun comes out on Broadway — at the Sun Building
James is on it with the math -- so I double checked with Ron and it's 10 to 12 weeks of no Bubby's!! — Pam Frederick on Pancake update: Bubby’s is closing for 10 to 12 weeks
June 23 + three weeks does not equal Sept 1! — James on Pancake update: Bubby’s is closing for 10 to 12 weeks
Yes, duh, May 2018. And not that I have to be an apologist for the NYPL, their press release from April of 2018 said it would be done in late 2019. — Pam Frederick on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening to the Murray Street library?
Correct. See this photo (also predating Con Ed's transformer substation): https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/510d47db-a09d-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99 "at West Broadway and Franklin Street, to Southeast, Manhattan" By Percy Loomis Sperr Date Created: 05/19/39 — James on Nosy Neighbor: Is the Franklin Street station canopy being removed?
So delightful and refreshing delicious cool treats to the Tribeca neighborhood!!! Thank you Roxy for bringing a yummy ice cream stand for all to enjoy! Summer is not summer without ice cream & gelato!!! — Julie Valach on Destination Ice Cream: Il Laboratorio del Gelato at The Roxy
Fascinating! Thank you for that. Didn't know that. I was referring to the originals, and didn't even realize this was not an "original". It's beautiful regardless, and adds so much character. — Marcus on Nosy Neighbor: Is the Franklin Street station canopy being removed?
Leo is correct. The place has been closed for more than a year. Originally they said it would reopen this summer. Anyone who has bother to look inside and still believes it will reopen in "late 2019" is delusional. Mind you ...we are talking about essentially on big square room. And basically nothing has happened in 13 months. Safe bet that its way over budget, though. — BobR on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening to the Murray Street library?
The beautiful Franklin Street Station canopy, believe it or not, is not very old. It was commissioned in the late 1980s, and the creator - in the postmodern vernacular - designed an homage to the earlier subway kiosks. — Bruce on Nosy Neighbor: Is the Franklin Street station canopy being removed?
Correct. In May 18, it was announced it would be done May '19. That came and went, with re-announcement on docs in the windows projection fall 2019. It fits the usual trajectory for a public project: always add at least an extra year to the originally projected time of construction. — j frank parnell on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening to the Murray Street library?
To be exact, August 1, 2019 marks Melville's 200th birthday. — Jane on McNally Jackson coming to Seaport — with drinks
The welcome mat was out at 105 Hudson. — perryro on New restaurant for former Bouley space backs out
I do hope the date actually is August 1, which is Herman Melville's birthday; for as everyone knows, literature and seaport are wedded forever (to paraphrase Ch. 1, "Loomings," of Moby-Dick). — Jane on McNally Jackson coming to Seaport — with drinks
New Amsterdam was closed for this renovation in May of *2018*. Any problems with AC during the summer happened in 2017 or earlier. — Leo on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening to the Murray Street library?
I write and publish all the stories. The list of "old timers" in this post were restaurants who have participated in Taste since its inception 25 years ago, according to the Taste organizers. I have lived here since 2004, for what that is worth. --Pam Frederick — Pam Frederick on Looking back on 25 years of Taste, and looking forward to this weekend
Hey There, Estancia 460 has been serving TriBeCa since 1995 and should most definitely be in mentioned as one of the "old timers" next year. Not sure who is published this article, but clearly not an "old timer"! Thanks and see you next year! — Elias Sosa on Looking back on 25 years of Taste, and looking forward to this weekend
Why did the city ever remove these beautiful canopies from most of the subway stations? So much character and beauty. — Marcus on Nosy Neighbor: Is the Franklin Street station canopy being removed?
Couldn't agree more with Bill. Greca has been such a great addition to the neighborhood. Tom - and everyone at both locations - are just the best. — Frank on The Greek and Greca are for sale
probably. i still miss the west broadway entrance to the a/c that disappeared without notification about 15 years ago. — panatomic-x on Franklin Street station to close for weeks this summer
It makes me very sad to lose Tom. He has been a great neighbor and nourisher of palette and soul. He's made The Greek (in this Greek's humble opinion), the best Greek restaurant in NYC. Hopefully, we can get to both restaurants many times before they change hands. But I can fully appreciate that the heartstrings pull hard from the motherland. Best of everything to you, Tom. — Bill on The Greek and Greca are for sale
Need a lot more security these days given the threats on our subways and around the city. Miss the Bloomberg days immensely. Can we get the 1st precinct to patrol our neighborhood???? Also, what happened to the supposed crackdown on the counterfeit sellers on Broadway and Lispenard? That problem has only gotten worse. One of the “sellers” attack d a tourist last weekend. Scary!!! — Samantha on Franklin Street station to close for weeks this summer
