  • Tribeca, and maybe even a lead or two…funny thing is, you may be the one showcasing for us the gifts of community…big city informs small town…an endeavor for our times. Good luck in sampling and displaying new places and faces, garnering readers as participants – enjoy the ride! — moon on And Here’s to Many More

  • A great addition to add to this special part of New York. We love doing the tourist haunts of Tribeca when we travel there.r — Helen Whiteley. on New Kid on the Block: Lola Tribeca

  • Glad to report that the move has not affected quality. I just had Their Peking Duck delivered. Pricey, but as good or better than any roasted duck I've had before. And the catch: no pancakes, but buns that can be effortlessly stuffed and folded the meat and a sweat bean paste. They deserve a second Michelin , just for the quality of the food they deliver! — Alfredo Villanueva on Excellent Dumpling House Has Moved to Chelsea

  • As I commented before (https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2018/11/08/housing-works-is-closing-its-tribeca-store/comment-page-1/), "Premises was on the market for some time and listed as 'occupancy: arranged', so it was probably not yet an expiring lease. It has been re-rented apparently." Probably Housing Works couldn't or didn't want to pay the lease rent going forward; I doubt they are sub-leasing the premises. — James on Eyesore of the Week

  • And here's how the Hudson Square BID defines the area: http://www.hudsonsquarebid.org/ — KP on New Kid on the Block: Whitmans

  • It's on Hudson Street above Canal. I thought Soho end/begins at 6th Ave, as shown on this map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hudson+Square,+New+York,+NY/@40.7255351,-74.0112803,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c259f3309603e1:0xafc5cb4a4ec007cd!8m2!3d40.7265834!4d-74.0074731 — KP on New Kid on the Block: Whitmans

  • James, I agree, the middle of Chambers between W. B’way and Church is horrendous. It is, unfortunately, somewhat of a party street so there is a lot of trash build up. The wind comes from both sides and it collects the trash in the middle of the block. I live next door to 121 Chambers and for obvious reasons I am not thrilled about the two-storey addition and party roof the developers have planned. In fact, such a large addition requires a height variance. One of the reasons given to by the developers to justify the variance is that they will restore the facade to its classic look. Maybe leaving it looking absolutely disgusting is a bit of blackmail on their part - give us our variance or it will look like this for a very long time. However, it seems more likely they just don’t care. And if that is the case, then they would not be good neighbors and they shouldn’t get the variance. — Brewster on Eyesore of the Week

  • No, it's in Soho. I walked there myself. They have several locations. — Pam Frederick on New Kid on the Block: Whitmans

  • Why was Housing Works thrown out for a game store? HW did more good than this store ever could. — Sara Ross on Eyesore of the Week

  • The store looks amazing, I can’t wait to check it out! Congrats! — Grace on New Kid on the Block: Lola Tribeca

  • Can’t wait to visit! Always happy to support another “Rachel”! — Jennifer on New Kid on the Block: Lola Tribeca

  • They accept food as well and are not as strict as some of the bigger food rescue organizations (e.g., boxes of leftover pizza, etc.). — EG on Seen & Heard: Year of the pig parties at WTC

  • With you. — Pam Frederick on Eyesore of the Week

  • Yes, I spoke to someone there too. They said they were "re-opening" next week with a new name, new menu, new management, new staff. Does that constitute as a "re-opening" or just a completely different establishment? — Anna on Seen & Heard: Three closings that sting

  • While it has gotten better recently, in my opinion both sides of Chambers St between Church and W. Broadway together constitute one of Tribeca's worst maintained/ least restored street fronts. The idea that someone from 99 Reade would complain to LPC about a rooftop addition is silly. Look at that thing on top of 99 Reade; no attempt was made to set it back from the street front. Its style, to use the term loosely, to me looks like it was reused after being discarded by a former Soviet-bloc country in Eastern Europe. — James on Eyesore of the Week

  • Bully. How can you not going entrepreneur who is 34 years old? Get a better hobby than trolling the web. — Kate on Seen & Heard: Another New Barbershop

  • You didn't try the crack kale???? Also, this restaurant is located in Hudson Square -- not Soho. — KP on New Kid on the Block: Whitmans

  • I live right around the corner on Murray and frankly, after what they did on that site, destroying all those lovely old 19th century buildings, I'm okay with this project being forever cursed and uncompleted. And it does feel that way, like the new building is never going to be finished, and that ugly hole will forever mark the scene of a piece of unforgivable vandalism perpetrated against our neighborhood. — Will Meyerhofer on Stopwork order slows progress at 65 W. Broadway

  • I had gone into Sun in Bloom on Monday (so sad about the news - I LOVE their house made almond milk and their spicy bean chili) - the wonderful guy at the counter said they are hoping to re-ope within a week under new management..not sure if anyone else heard — amanda v on Seen & Heard: Three closings that sting

  • I would love to see that alley (Staple Street) re-cobblestoned. It should be. — Tess on Loft Peeping: Extreme Edition
