And with all the respect accorded to a neighbor, you, Carly, so eloquently and precisely represent the reason this neighborhood that we've all loved and cherished, is DYING. — james on Archive of Contemporary Music hanging by a vinyl thread

Thanks J.! Looking forward to building our adult board gaming community at Tribeca's Game Lab. — Brooklyn Game Lab on Seen & Heard: Pulitzer for Soho Rep playwright

While an update on why we have to keep off the newly planted sod is most helpful, I am most appreciative that you included photos of those tulips. They are indeed pretty awesome. I was an early WMP gardener back in the day and the best I could do was tomatoes and basil. With a few iris plants we all shared. Congratulations, Richie. — Jean Grillo on Rolling out the green carpet (and a bit of red)

God Carly - spoken by a true non-artist. The archive belongs here more than a bunch of bankers. This neighborhood was built by the locals. — TG on Archive of Contemporary Music hanging by a vinyl thread

I love how fine tuned the grass laying process is. The whole team is on board. I take extra care to keep my pooch away from the little grass rolls! — TG on Rolling out the green carpet (and a bit of red)

great collection - no reason to move - the Art scene is is still around this location. all you need is supporters and funding. — perryro on Archive of Contemporary Music hanging by a vinyl thread

NY Daily News: 'No more free rides over Verrazzano Bridge if pols have their way' "Rep. Max Rose (D-S.I., Brooklyn) announced Sunday that he would be moving legislation forward to change the structure of the tolls on the Verrazzano Bridge. Currently, only drivers entering Staten Island from the span pay a fee, which is as much as $19 for cars without an E-ZPass. "Rose wants to split the toll and charge drivers going each way up to $8.50, which he says will put more money into MTA coffers while reducing traffic problems around the city. "'Out-of-state folks are using the one-way toll to sneak into Manhattan and leave without paying a dime while the rest of us get hammered every single day,' said Rose. [...] "Rose’s proposal has the backing of two of New York’s most influential members of Congress, Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Nydia Velazquez. "Nadler (D-Manhattan, Brooklyn) and Velazquez have been trying to restructure the tolls on the Verrazzano for years, Now that Rose holds Staten Island’s congressional seat, they have a member of their own party who is willing to play ball." https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-verrazano-bridge-staten-island-drivers-tolls-both-ways-legislation-20190428-rxuufmgohzc4pfd2fmlui2ubyi-story.html — James on Hope Dims for the Holland Tunnel Traffic Study

Fleishmann's Active Dry Yeast 4 oz. jar: WFM $8.99 Target $5.99 That's huge! Basic baking products are best priced at Target comparing with every market in the area below and above Canal St.; TJ's does not carry Active Dry Yeast but their flour is good and priced well. — neighbor on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

Gerry got it, but as Robert says, he was indeed trumped by Sonia. Just as Gerry described, north side of Lispenard. And since the No More Leroy sticker is gone, check out the video instead. — Pam Frederick on Where in Tribeca?

It's on Lispenard, on the north side of the street between Broadway and Church. — Gerry Stone on Where in Tribeca?

Pam, in the photo I just sent to you at tribecacitizen@gmail.com note that the yellow sticker NO MORE LEROY has since been removed from the area when you first took the photo. Have a great weekend, regards, Sonia Stock — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca?

Yes, I do know where this is especially as I sold in the coop apt. on this street. I have always called this building door, "sticker city nyc" but will as you say let someone else play in the game, all the best, Sonia Stock — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca?

Nope, you trumped- I mean stumped- me... — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?

As cool as this all sounds, how practical is it to try to store records in one of the most expensive real estate/rental markets in the world? These records can be stored anywhere. Not saying the nostalgia and the effort to collect such a vast collection are not impressive. But,not realistic to use a Tribeca 1st floor address as a mere place for storage given the rental cost. — Carly on Archive of Contemporary Music hanging by a vinyl thread

amen to that. — Bernice on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

"Amish" as in limited selection and super expensive but good in a pinch. — Pam Frederick on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

While I am sorry to see this news about Landmarc, I have to say the restaurant hasn't been what it once was - a place of delicious conviviality, conversation and community - i was there just about a month ago and the food was actually terrible - old and seemed reheated in a microwave, outrageously expensive wine by the glass and very poor, unpleasant service to top it all off. It was certifiably depressing. — Celeste Lee on In the News: Governor’s Island head steps down

I miss Best Market. Tribeca (and every other neighborhood) needs a traditional supermarket. Making due with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Key Foods on Fulton Street. As others have noted, WF is crowded with rude and unhelpful employees. The guys collecting and transferring carts to the front of the store are a menace and should be an embarrassment to the management. — Vicki on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

Another reason to support and shop at our Greenmarket. The freshest fish you can find, great meat, chicken and eggs and now, coming into season are vegetables and fruits. For staples I use Fresh Direct. For cleaning products and paper goods, Kings Pharmacy has a great selection. I have never been a big fan of Whole Foods. I was very excited about it when it first opened. In recent years I tend to fall into a trance when I go in. If I go, it is for a specific item or two. — JSM on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

I was at Whole Foods on Sunday and overheard a shelf stocker exasperatingly talking to another, "I need a office job". That sums it up nicely. — Adam on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

My one caution re: Amish...check "sell by" dates carefully, especially on dairy products. Many times I've found items with dates that were as much as two weeks expired. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

They are now crowded at all times of day because of the Whole Foods (or other delivery service) shoppers. And there always seem to be lines at the checkout no matter what time I go. They discontinued tamari almonds ???? and I have to be vigilant about checking expiration dates, as there are many expired items on the shelves. In fact, just the other day, I was standing near the ready-made pizza crusts and I saw one covered with mold. I picked it up and handed it to a woman who worked at the store and she was like “oh god” and took it away without checking the others. And they’ve gotten rid of the tamari almonds and the milk chocolate sea salt almonds :( I still shop there but am looking for alternatives... — MF on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

"Amish"? How so? It is fine for regular shopping, even though generally quite expensive (not sure if it is more or less expensive than Whole Foods; I haven't price-compared the two...perhaps others can weigh in on that issue). Produce is good, there is quite a selection of prepared foods (including soups and sushi), baked goods delivered fresh from various bakeries like Balthazar. We do our regular shopping there since it's closer for us. (We also go to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's once in a while to stock up, since they have more vegan foods.) Oh and for fruits and some vegetables...we often buy from the Chinatown street vendors. Choose the produce carefully to make sure they it is fresh (but not over-ripe), but the price is a fraction of what it would cost at any of the grocery stores. $1 for a box of berries? Yes. That's also a bit of a walk for those in the Western and Southern regions of our neighborhood, but worth the treck once in a while. Combine it with a lunch or dinner in Chinatown. — Marcus on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?

I agree it is sad how much has changed since the early years when Whole Foods was actually a friendly place with a focus on healthy foods... Just yesterday I was in the store and wishing to never be there again! It has such a chaotic feel, crowded with staff who are not there for customer service and cluttered with ever more new product displays, yet things I like keep disappearing and I regularly see expired items on the shelves. Unfortunately, it is the only place within a reasonable distance to get some perishable, specialty items. I try to get whatever I can elsewhere in the neighborhood (fruit carts and farmers market, Target, Gourmet Garage) and order from Fresh Direct, since at least they are a NYC based company. — Lulu on Crowd Sourcing: What’s going on at Whole Foods?
