Below that on Streeteasy it says the owner is 273 Church St Associates, who was listed as being the owner (c/o Benjamin Weinstock) on a mortgage agreement as far back as 1984. Maybe they sold this entity that owns the property instead of the property itself, but that's not clear. — James on Seen & Heard: New Children’s Theater

I saw that, but the StreetEasy page also mentions a "previous sale" for $11.9M. See https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/273-Church-StreetEasy.png. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: New Children’s Theater

Not sold. Streeteasy says the status of 273 was "03/10/2018 Off market temporarily” — James on Seen & Heard: New Children’s Theater

They've said they'd love to make something happen. — Erik Torkells on A New Italian Restaurant in Hudson Square

Has Hudson Square Connection BID considered something like a community garden or park in that space? — KP on A New Italian Restaurant in Hudson Square

Very romantic & magical for the tenants that live in Building right across and were told by the leasing manager that they are NOT required to disclose the presence of heliport! Heavy & ongoing sinus infections from the (up to 4 at a time) helicopters that land take off 5 days a week from 8 AM - 8 PM. Headaches, eczema, nausea & Sinus infections are only a few of the "romantic & magical" side effects, caused by the constant noise, kerosene fumes and settling ( thick black) pollution dust the 100's a day helicopters. Does anybody know if it is really legal for the leasing Mgr/LL to withhold that information from a tenant before they sign the lease? Breaking the lease will cost me 2 month worth of "buy out fee". — East River at East 34th on The Helicopter Problem

I walked by Nonna Beppa yesterday afternoon and noticed that the tables were set. What caught my eye first was the huge brand new meat slicer box on top of the trash heaped on the curb! I didn’t realize that a new place was going in that space - good luck to them! — Uptown Downtown on Tribeca’s New Restaurants: A Recap

Any word on the Poké place that is supposed to be opening next to Dig Inn? — KP on Tribeca’s New Restaurants: A Recap

This is absurd. There is no excuse as to why its taking so long to complete the retail portion of 3 WTC or the fact that they couldn't even be bothered to finish the Church Street sidewalk and remainder of Cortland Way for the grand opening. This would have been great. Pathetic. — Anthony on The Dearth of Dining at the World Trade Center

Also another shoot this week: There are signs for shooting something called "TMAS" on Walker Street. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Il Mulino Opens Tonight

Their goods are delivered by vans which park on Lispenard. I once saw a driver make a too small space bigger by alternately bashing into the cars parked in front and behind. Since the one behind belonged to me I asked the driver to knock it off and go someplace else. He ignored me. When two NYPD cops happened to stroll by at that moment I asked them to intervene. They told me to call 311. I did and got no response. The community has done nothing about these street vendors for years. I figured that that was because New Yorkers are afraid to complain about the anti-social behavior of some black Muslims for fear of being called racist. The Mayor says that's why he eliminated "broken windows" policing. Is there any other explanation for their ongoing presence? — lowrider on Seen & Heard: The 1st Precinct Steps Up

"That is a bit off – they are poor immigrants trying to make a living." So are the drug dealers hawking their wares nightly on our street. So should we just let them be? — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Zutto’s Reopening Date

The fake vendors cause all sorts of problems, from blocking the sidewalk (good luck getting through there with a baby carriage or wheelchair) and subway entrances, to intellectual property theft which damages legitimate brands, to hurting business at local stores, to actually driving away prospective businesses (including a tenant for the beautiful corner building), to urinating outside, to littering, to fighting, to aggressively confronting passersby. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: The 1st Precinct Steps Up

Frozen cranberries. Were $2.99, now $3.29. — A. on Seen & Heard: Momofuku Karaoke

Maybe Margaret Chin can propose a toll at the entrance to the Holland Tunnel since that is in her district. — Dave on In the News: Café Forgot Pop-Up

The premises owner and tenant here share managers. It is undeniable, despite all the cryptic responses. (The managing members of Edaer Ventures listed on the 2017 mortgage doc linked to above for the commercial unit were "Linda Rowe" and "Betty Eng Lee," the latter having coincidentally has the same name as Support by Design's "administrative coordinator.") Maybe you sold the premises or the landlord entity Edaer Ventures itself after signing for the mortgage. Maybe you had a silent, unlisted limited partner hidden by a nondisclosure agreement and who owned the lion's share of the landlord entity and thus the landlord charged the tenant a fair market, arms-length rent. Maybe there is no other landlord and it was all just transfer pricing from one hand to the other. Whatever the case, it sounds like a terribly burdensome story for Will Suarez, whoever that is, to keep. — James on Support by Design Is Closing After 20 Years

Thank you so much for the endorsement Linda. We have loved collaborating with you over the years. You will be truly missed. — Heather Boerner on Support by Design Is Closing After 20 Years

And WF no longer gives a 10% discount for case purchases. — jane freeman on Seen & Heard: Momofuku Karaoke

You must be trolling because if you've ever been in the area, the vendors are a nuisance to everyone. They argue and fight over customers, block up entire sidewalks, and act hostile and aggressive towards anyone that doesn't welcome them with a smile. — lowphat121 on Seen & Heard: The 1st Precinct Steps Up

They fucking stink too — LRG on Seen & Heard: The 1st Precinct Steps Up

I completely agree with TG. Yes, it is annoying dealing with the crowds of people on Canal / Broadway - particularly when most of the sidewalk is taken up and it is hard to walk pass. HOWEVER, having grown up in east Tribeca and continue to live here for the past 40 years, I would never call the peddlers Hooligans- never felt threatened by their presence- even as a young girl traveling to and from the train station in the early 80’s. Also, the people buying the bags are as much fault for the underground market and the hoards of people. I — KL on Seen & Heard: Zutto’s Reopening Date

Perhaps reading the deed would help you to gain a bigger picture. Will Suarez if he would, might also help to fill you in. Sounds like you have not done your homework. Also it is curious to think if a tenant such as Support By Design is not able to meet their rent then how would Edaer Ventures pay the mortgage and expenses? We knew back in 2015 that the space was not working out for us and tried desperately to make decisions to change the course. That's where Will Suarez Might shed some light. More importantly ...Yes Chatty Child would also be a great practice to take on our cases! Hats off to Heather! — Linda Rowe on Support by Design Is Closing After 20 Years

I believe the developer who lives in the building is the owner of the commercial space. Very sad to see them go as I have always heard they provided a steadfast service for children. Going way back it was a car rental and a handy one at that! — TG on Support by Design Is Closing After 20 Years

Hooligans? Really Sally? That is a bit off - they are poor immigrants trying to make a living. And don't for one second claim that luxury designers are not the biggest thieves around. They have been stealing from each other and from people on the streets for decades. So you don't like them there - I get it but back off with your negative assumptions on who these people actually are. So you are on your bandwagon Erik - go for it but it is distasteful for some. I wish you would stick to plastic bags in trees. — TG on Seen & Heard: Zutto’s Reopening Date

It really hurts the retails stores in the area. People that sell clothing or similar merchandise (even a block away) get grouped in as knock-off product. Further, because of this several stores will not want to be in the area. There is a reason no name brand store from SoHo come pass Canal Street. Then as a domino affect, having a bunch of vacant stores hurts the local retailers. Secondly, people that live and work nearby now must deal with crowded sidewalks and illegal vendors. Not exactly a place you want to call home. Lastly, although some tourists do not mind, young kids are intimidated by this. I have heard stories of kids offered drugs by these vendors friends that sit with them. — Josh on Seen & Heard: The 1st Precinct Steps Up
