Ditto for the need to redo Greenwich. I heard when we moved in that the cobblestone streets would all get redone as part of the building contractors’ construction agreements (since their trucks destroy the roads). Is there any truth to that? — Vestry Family on Seen & Heard: New cobblestones for Desbrosses

I’m just going to repeat this TRIBECA IS ONE BIG CONSTRUCTION SITE. We are in north east tribeca. Every corner is scaffolded the noise is deafening. The trucks busses garbage trucks construction vehicles is never ending. All I think about is greed. It’s been going on for years and the minute one ugly building ( the reveal on the Toll brothers on broadway? ) another goes up. — Tino on In the News: Our own collusion, Tribeca real estate style

Thanks! Finally! — Robert Ripps on Where in (not) Tribeca?

Robert has it: Twenty Exchange at Beaver. I added the 20-foot view. You guys are just too good... — Pam Frederick on Where in (not) Tribeca?

Good news! Has anyone tried them? — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Philly Pretzel Factory Appears Closed

Now that i am outside the building and I see that my guess is not correct! But it is very similar. Hopefully Robert has the right answer and if so well done Robert!, regards, Sonia — Sonia F. Stock on Where in (not) Tribeca?

Actually its 86 Trinity Place not 61 Trinity Place. On the opposite of this door façade it is just as cool! regards, Sonia Stock — Sonia F. Stock on Where in (not) Tribeca?

This is located on the American Stock Exchange at I believe 61 Trinity Place opposite Trinity Church? regards, Sonia — Sonia F. Stock on Where in (not) Tribeca?

Robert beat me to it, well done! Regards, Sonia Stock — Sonia Stock on Where in (not) Tribeca?

Hi, this is outside the American Stock Exchange facade opposite a trinity Church and yes it’s spectacular! Regards, Sonia Stock — Sonia Stock on Where in (not) Tribeca?

I believe it is 20 Exchange Place — Robert Ripps on Where in (not) Tribeca?

And while we're at it, let's note that it's called "Ericsson Place" between Hudson and Varick. A very confusingly named street! — KP on Seen & Heard: Starting to see the light?

The 261 Broadway scaffolding was there during facade work mandated by DOB (local law 11). I'm guessing 270 Broadway has now been targeted by the DOB. — 261 Broadway on Seen & Heard: Starting to see the light?

You are kidding! Same with Duane and West Broadway. Ugh! — Pam Frederick on Seen & Heard: Starting to see the light?

At West Broadway IIRC — James on Seen & Heard: Starting to see the light?

And just when the sidewalk shed at 261 B'way comes down, one goes up at 270 B'way. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Seen & Heard: Starting to see the light?

Yes, good point. 396 Bway at Walker. Where does it switch, at 6th? — Pam Frederick on Seen & Heard: Starting to see the light?

There is no intersection of Broadway and Beach. Perhaps you mean Broadway and Walker? — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: Starting to see the light?

I hope they redo Greenwich Street ! — John on Seen & Heard: New cobblestones for Desbrosses

Skidmore Owings Merrill. — Seymour Riis on BNY Mellon’s Lobby Is Finally Open to the Public

I worked in that building the first seven years of its existence, and that was half a lifetime ago. I haven't been in downtown Manhattan for 15 years now. But I remember that the second floor loggia was actually there when the building opened. It was a loggia-to-nowhere, since there were no stairways to it or connections to external elevated walkways. I agree there were no unlocked doors on the north (Murray St.) side of the building at that time. The space was used once a year for the stockholders meetings, and maybe a for a few other functions. I do remember that the doors on the north side were changed in the early or mid 80's, possibly from revolving to swing. What was open in the beginning were the doors at Barclay and Washington Streets, and at Greenwich Street and Park Place. Many office workers used to cut through this "L" shaped part of the public space so that they were under cover for the equivalent of a city block. There were trees in planters in this part of the lobby. But even then security, then mostly retired NYC cops directly employed by Irving Trust, sought to throw out any unsavory looking characters from the public space lobby. Just about everybody in Irving building support positions back then knew it was a public space. I always had the feeling that the public space program should never been created, since either the landlords didn't deliver or the amenity was useless and only put on the plans to obtain zoning concessions. Many people forget that the debris from 7 WTC was piled 5 stories high against the exterior walls of 101 Barclay. I don't know if 101 Barclay is classified as a terrorist target. If it is, BNY Mellon could have posted a sign saying that the lobby was closed for security reasons. The other thing to remember is that BONY's acquisition of Irving Trust was a hostile takeover, and BONY tried to purge all history of Irving. That meant there was little institutional memory left post-9/11. BNY Mellon is not the only offender. Reporters busted Trump Tower for similar infractions. I suggest NYC make these public spaces another cash cow like parking tickets. Inspect and fine all the time. All this to grease the way for a buyout program; for a few million, the building owners could keep their useless amenities. The program was a farce from the get-go. — Seymour Riis on BNY Mellon’s Lobby Is Finally Open to the Public

How so? (Not sarcastic, just curious)... — Anon on In the News: Our own collusion, Tribeca real estate style

Thank you all for keeping Manhattan Youth fit, social and aware in TriBeCa. You are a steadfast presence for over two decades now servicing young and old alike. Bravo! — TG on Seen & Heard: Grand Banks is open on Pier 25
