Poor Mr. Echevarria and his family. What a terrible loss. May he rest in peace. — TG on In the News: Worker killed at Hudson Square construction site

To blame City Council about this overbuilding mess is laughable. This is so above their pay grade. Bloomberg put the knife in and De B pulled it out. — TG on In the News: Our own collusion, Tribeca real estate style

Sadly, the abandoned construction will remain. Our neighborhood north to south is all one big construction site. — MBCG on In the News: Our own collusion, Tribeca real estate style

Bravo to Bob and Theseus at Manhattan Youth for honoring Tricia, Lisa and Buxton, and Wendy and others for the tireless, yet always joyous, support of the community. Along with MY, these neighbors of ours, make Tribeca the community worth living in. — Demetri on Seen & Heard: Grand Banks is open on Pier 25

And yes, in the meantime, North TriBeCa remains a massive construction site. The city council seems not to care about how long we are without sidewalks or awaiting street repairs. And for what ... a tiny elitist hotel. — Nearby Neighbor on In the News: Our own collusion, Tribeca real estate style

A pizza place on the same side of the street nearby the card place, closed after many years, and same with a picture frame place. Neither of these places found new tenants to rent. The landlords keep raising prices, tenants move out, they are unable to rent out the spaces, they sit empty for years, what sense does this make? Maiden Lane close to Broadway looks horrible, so many empty storefronts, not to mention trashy filthy looking streetscape, we need a neighborhood beautification project. — Richard on In the News: Fidi comic book store Chameleon closed

Those guys were always so sweet to my daughter, she still follows the titles they recommended. That's a tough biz so very sympathetic, but we will miss stopping in there after class or on the way back from the grocery- a shame there will be another empty store front for however long it takes for a Chanel or similar to move in. — @en_b on In the News: Fidi comic book store Chameleon closed

The owner of the building is kicking her out to open up a restaurant. He is actually kicking out all of the stores next to her as well. She is not pleased. I told Yvonne we will leave the restaurant daily "surprises" in front of their door from my dog... Let them pee on it! — J on Saying goodbye to Dudley’s Paw, one dog at a time

"Lying" and "manipulative" - sounds like my condo board. — Jim Smithers on In the News: City Winery will move to Pier 57

I am crying reading this article. I am going to miss Yvonne so much. So will my pup. She is a treasure trove of memories growing up in NYC and the challenges she faced. She has some wonderful stories. How many people do you know shared a table with James Baldwin at a benefit I don't know how many years ago? Yvonne is such a pleasure and I just can't think of another beloved business closing. — TG on Saying goodbye to Dudley’s Paw, one dog at a time

Funny how designers complain when their designs are ripped off though most of the time they are ripping others off - IKEA bag is a great example. I asked a teacher at WA Market School - those secret service looking guys are not for a politician's child but for all the children who go to the schools on the block. — TG on Seen & Heard: Australian bridal imports on Warren

The City itself sold 346 Broadway aka 108 Leonard to these developers for $160 million plus an agreement to maintain public community space in the building. Had they wanted to, the City could have (reduced the sale price and) stipulated that the clock was to remain as it had been. One can hardly blame LPC for this foul-up. — James on In the News: City Winery will move to Pier 57

Don’t forget all the sponsors who participated in the kids corner! Spotlight Kids, Modern Martial Arts, Brooklyn Robot Foundry, Brooklyn Game Lab, and more! Everyone made it a fun filled day. — Mary on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

A shame that the Landmarks and Preservation Committee is obsessed with lying, manipulative, political "real estate developers" interests instead of NYC's architectural icons. What a disgusting display of a Democratic fundraisers' power over politicians in this city. — Sandy Mills on In the News: City Winery will move to Pier 57

It’s so sad to see this wonderful neighborhood institution go and I’m sure all of our pups will continue to drag us to Yvonne’s door! It’s Yvonne and small business operated with heart like Dudley’s Paw that made TriBeCa home. — Jill F on Saying goodbye to Dudley’s Paw, one dog at a time

"I want to rent a space where the neighbors will be implacably opposed to a commercial kitchen, liquor license, and sidewalk cafe," said no prospective restaurant tenant ever. — james on New restaurant for former Bouley space backs out

100 Franklin came out great! its nice to see this stretch of Tribeca develop with contextual yet progressive architecture — Tribeca4ever on Seen & Heard: 100 Franklin sheds its skin

Real estate brokers are licensed to negotiate a meeting of the minds in a real estate deal. The job of informing clients on the ins and outs of legalities with boards and zoning is the job of their attorney. — TG on New restaurant for former Bouley space backs out

Right you are! (of course) I love that little guy... — Pam Frederick on Where in Tribeca?

Wow, congratulations for flawlessly organizing such an amazing community event for such a great cause. Even the weather was perfect! Looking forward to next year’s edition. Keep up the good work. I saw PS 89 parents working from 6:00 am this morning to 6:00 pm to make sure everyone else is having a great time! — BPCResident on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

It appears that even the school that shares a building with PS 89 (IS 289) does not benefit. Guessing PS 89 PTA believes there are not enough proceeds to make it worthwhile to spread between three schools. Adding the IS 289 and PS/IS 276 communities could potentially add to the value proposition for sponsors as well as increase the likelihood of the families in the other schools buying tickets, but PS 89 PTA's share of the proceeds would likely be less than what they earn operating the event alone. Full disclosure, I am a PS/IS 276 parent but I have not been part of discussions between the schools about this event. — Matt on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

My apologies I meant to type 60 Vestry above, regards, Sonia — Sonia Stock on Where in Tribeca?

Good Morning, this window is located at 60 Veatry Street and aka 436 Washington Street and yes it is one impressive building next to 70 Vestry! Regards, Sonia — Sonia Stock on Where in Tribeca?
