The parking on sidewalks is not only inconvenient to pedestrians (not to mention those on wheelchairs or with baby carriages, or delivery carts, etc.), but dangerous. There have been a couple sidewalk vault collapses recently (SoHo and TriBeCa) when vehicles drove up onto the sidewalk. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Tasteless Advertising at Razzledazzle

Hi Tiffany, We are sad to leave too. We thank you for being loyal customer and your support over the years. Hope you will come visit us at our other restaurant Wallsé in the West Village. Best Regards, KG & BG Team — Kurt Gutenbrunner & Blaue Gans Team on Blaue Gans Is Said to Be Closing

Dear Sharon, It has been a pleasure to be your neighbor all these years and I thank you for your support and your kind words! Come visit me and enjoy my cooking at my other restaurant Wallsé. All the best, KG & BG team — Kurt Gutenbrunner & Blaue Gans Team on Blaue Gans Is Said to Be Closing

I feel the same as so many of the people who commented here. I go to Tribeca's Kitchen very often and it's always a great experience. Andy is a lovely man and the staff are all so caring. I thought the outdoor tables made the corner more attractive. I wonder if there is a way to resurrect this and have a different decision. — BL on In the News: Condo Board Screws Over Restaurant

I cannot wait to see the day when these condo board people who are so worried about their investment wish to sell but realize that their actions backfired. After all, who would want to pay astronomical prices to live in a deserted and depressing ghost town? Karma is a bitch. — Marian F. on In the News: Condo Board Screws Over Restaurant

Good spot + shot by C. Williams. Egret gives genuine elegance to Battered (by crowds) Park. — robert janz on Seen & Heard: Birds Lost and Found

I hope it doesn’t hurt Baked. I love that place! The names being so close could cause some market confusion though. — Edward on Bakery Chain to Kick Off Massive Expansion Here

So sad to see another business close. We love this place and if there is not a herculean effort to save the neighborhood we'll soon see Casper the Ghost's entire family, Duane Reades, banks and homeless people residing here.

I have heard similar stories like this as well. I know of one guy who works at a retail store in Tribeca. His wife is a secretary at an NYPD building and he uses a placard from this. At the same time, delivery trucks have nowhere to load and unload as these spots are all taken by placards and so the delivery trucks just park in the street. This causes tremendous traffic buildup. It really is frustrating. — Josh on Seen & Heard: Tasteless Advertising at Razzledazzle

Feels like NYPD gives placard to just about anyone in the dept. Last week, ran into an acquaintance who works there as a photographer near the Tombs. Asked how the commute is since she lives out in Coney Island. The response was "I can park any where". I just can't believe how NYPD is abusing the placard system. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Tasteless Advertising at Razzledazzle

Bets on if RazzleDazzle makes it vs. Gentleman’s Barber Spa (opening up a block a way)? I could be wrong, but I'm guessing one of the two missed the mark on the Tribeca demographic. — DeeDee on Seen & Heard: Tasteless Advertising at Razzledazzle

More closures? — J on Seen & Heard: Duane Street Desert

I’ve been loyal to long time Tribeca framers L&O on Duane St. I wonder how this new shop will effect their business. Seems like a new trend. Long time shop like Torly Kid is doing well then Ever After comes in and promotes itself like there was never a tween clothing store in the neighborhood. Just Baked coming to blanket the neighborhood when Baked is quite good and long time Duane Park Patisserie not even mentioned. Make new friends, but don’t forget the old I say. — DeeDee on Framer Opening on Church

Well, Baked on Church St will always be the original and hopefully this new chain will help, not hurt their business. — DeeDee on Bakery Chain to Kick Off Massive Expansion Here

Great Addition. Rooq is a fantastic framer. Take all my stuff to their 4th Street location. Now will just take up the street. — Jim M on Framer Opening on Church

More to come... — James on Seen & Heard: Duane Street Desert

Seriously what is going to happen to Duane Street???!!!!!! — T on Seen & Heard: Duane Street Desert

Does anybody know what happened to Chris, the hot dog vendor who has been on the corner of Broadway and Barclay for years? He hasn't been there for a couple of weeks. He's a good man and I hope he's ok. — Sarah Ross on In the News: Another Bank Robbery

Indian Chinese food is really amazing. One of my favorite foods to get when in Bombay. It is tailored to the local palette and so combines Indian spices with Chinese preparation - Amazing. I have to check out Chinese Dhaba! Thanks Erik for the heads up! — Rohin on Seen & Heard: Duane Street Desert

All great comments. Having outdoor seating is the lifeblood of a restaurant. But nobody will backtrack I am sure and I hate the fact that a few people can ruin somebody’s business because they have the power to say no. — Rita Henry on In the News: Condo Board Screws Over Restaurant

last time i checked no one was getting rowdy off the booze at a diner...when did TriBeCa become SO uptight...? — HH on In the News: Condo Board Screws Over Restaurant

lol — valentina on In the News: Condo Board Screws Over Restaurant

Any further news on the food hall project? I couldn't find any news on a quick web search... — Marcus on An Italian Food Hall Is Opening at Broadway and Canal

I stand with Tribeca kitchen. We frequent the restaurant and the owner is the kindest and warmest man around. Please do not ruin another locally owned business! — Katherine on In the News: Condo Board Screws Over Restaurant

I’m so sad to hear this, Blaue Gans is one of my favorite spots on our neighborhood - we have enjoyed so many great meals and evenings with friends there. What a loss! — Tiffany on Blaue Gans Is Said to Be Closing
