Glad to hear the positive developments for City Winery! Can't wait to hear more about the new venue. Best wishes for success in all the locations. — Marcus on In the News: More galleries for the neighborhood

Ah! Thanks! — Pam Frederick on Stopwork order slows progress at 65 W. Broadway

So, is the "Hotel" still under construction now. 1/30/2019 — tom on First Look Inside the Hotel at 456 Greenwich

I believe the first rendering is from when they owned 59 Murray as well and planned on making a larger base building while the 2nd rendering is the current plan once they sold that building and retained the air rights. — Joe on Stopwork order slows progress at 65 W. Broadway

Thank you for reminding me of the NY Rescue Mission. They have been doing wonderful work for many years. — G on Seen & Heard: Year of the pig parties at WTC

Andrew Kreps is moving to 22 Cortland Alley, not Lispenard. — Heide Fasnacht on In the News: More galleries for the neighborhood

For such an expensive city (which most are) it is sad how poorly maintained it can be by property owners. If you own real estate you would think you would want it kept up. Have some self respect. Our world is so odd. Unfortunately we cannot control disgusting people. But how hard is it to throw your stuff out in a garbage pail? Are they really that lazy? As for the construction workers is there nowhere to pee? I get that restaurants don't allow people to use their rest rooms but something needs to be done about that. — Mia on Loft Peeping: Extreme Edition

Rakers are steel bracing, usually shaped like a triangle, installed in a construction lot up against an existing building. A raker is used to support the existing building and prevent it from moving after the construction took away the neighboring building it was presumably leaning against for support. — James on Stopwork order slows progress at 65 W. Broadway

Believe it or not, it's an improvement over the staging when it was going for $50 million. — KP on Loft Peeping: Extreme Edition

From Michael Dorf re: City Winery: Dear Friends, I wanted to start out by saying Happy New Year and take this opportunity to catch you up on some exciting City Winery news. First off, as some of you may already know, our City Winery New York is moving into a new location which we will announce very soon. The final details are being worked out, but our new flagship location will be everything we have ever dreamed of in New York City creating what we believe will be the greatest venue and urban winery in the world. We are taking all that we have learned in our 10 years as City Winery and bringing it together. We are raising the bar on what a 350-seat concert venue can be, complete with spectacular private event spaces, world-class kitchen facilities and urban winemaking. In addition to this, everyone is going to get very excited about the location…it’s incredible! We are building two new locations this year, a full City Winery location in the heart of Philadelphia and our first rural City Winery in the Hudson Valley, about 75 minutes North of Manhattan. This upstate facility is a 22-acre almost two century old “knitting factory” with buildings we are turning from a 130-year old mill into a winery and event space and outdoor junkyards into vineyards. This hub of our East Coast winemaking will be the perfect place for outdoor weddings, events, and we will be growing our veggies to bring back to the City. The location is also 100% net power neutral as it has a hydro-electric plant and we are adding solar to support all our operations. We continue to strive to reduce our carbon footprint and support our local communities. Lastly, I wanted to mention that our locations in Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta and recent openings in Boston and Washington DC are all doing really well we are so thrilled to have extended our City Winery family welcoming new VinoFiles from all over the country. While growth continues to happen in our future, we can hardly contain our excitement about our NYC move, as it is my home. After 10 years of tremendous learning and understanding both our customers and our performing artists, we can’t wait to provide the ultimate home for both—a cozy state-of-the-art facility to indulge the senses. Stay Tuned… Sincerely, Michael Dorf — Tribeca Mom on In the News: More galleries for the neighborhood

No there arent... — Sean on BPC residents thwart (for now) chef-driven omakase restaurant

There's a small sign above the buzzer that says 'buzzer doesn't work' (seems like they could have gotten that fixed sometimes in the last 3 years that the place has been on/off the market.) Sadly Staple Street has become a mecca for instagram posts/wedding photo shoots/music video filming that runs late into the night. People on the alley have resorted to throwing eggs to break up the inconsiderate people. The buildings on Hudson that back onto the Alley refuse to maintain the back side of their buildings- (something they're required to do) so the one block between Harrison and Jay attracts pot smokers and construction workers et al who need to relieve themselves. People dump their garbage in the flower boxes along the west side of the alley. It's sad to see how run down it is compared to Cortlandt Alley. — Andy on Loft Peeping: Extreme Edition

Pity the interior looks like a dentist's office. — Jezz on Loft Peeping: Extreme Edition

Wow, that staging is super budget. You'd think for a commission on $35m you'd get a bit more than that. — Leo on Loft Peeping: Extreme Edition

fabulous...I'm a happy vegetarian, and I live a block away! — Will Meyerhofer on Seen & Heard: The Wonder and Lekka Burger updates

Hilarious comment. Family beer garden is a spot-on description for Treadwell Park. People host their kids' birthday parties there. BPC can still be peaceful relative to New York without being deserted - I can't imagine why someone who would post something so ludicrous about a good-neighbor establishment would want to live in the city at all. — BPC Dad on BPC residents thwart (for now) chef-driven omakase restaurant

"There’s always an annoying collection of double-parked cars on that block, which also get in the way of ambulances." Too true. Reason #731 to support both congestion pricing (w/o the inane exemptions our local electeds sometimes insist on) and the nascent campaign to stop placard abuse. — Charles Komanoff on Seen & Heard: Tribeca repping for playgrounds

Shame on you Taylor - this Mom is disappointed. The broker got your "people" into the building and sent your team blueprints. That is subsatitive contact. What would it hurt you $ wise to respect the work the broker did do and the seller's broker or the seller direct would have to share? It didn't come out of your pocket. On top of it you spent all that $ to sue...That ain't cool. Signed TriBeCa Mom and Hard Working RE Broker PS You WAY OVER paid for that building BTW..unless you get your curb cut! — TG on In the News: a celebration of carbs at Bubby’s

Agree! — eltom on In the News: Frenchette, Taco Bell and you

HURRAH, I’ve been waiting for more vegan options in the area! — Anna on Seen & Heard: The Wonder and Lekka Burger updates

Thanks! Next time I'll trust the TC, not the New Yorker. — Pam Frederick on In the News: a celebration of carbs at Bubby’s

He is "Chef / Owner Ron Silver," not Silva! https://www.bubbys.com/about/ — James on In the News: a celebration of carbs at Bubby’s

Agree with you! It would be great to have Taco Bell on Chambers St again. — Ted on In the News: Frenchette, Taco Bell and you

Joes still not open, anyone know when? — Dave on In the News: Joe’s Pizza Is Opening in FiDi

I live across the street from Treadwell at 300 Albany. It’s far from a “riot” and it’s nice to see the combination of families and singles it caters too. I’ve taken my niece and nephew there and gone there to watch football games with friends/boyfriend. Frankly I’m happy to see a business succeed in the “black hole” — Teri on BPC residents thwart (for now) chef-driven omakase restaurant
