Welcome and thank you for keeping the Tribeca Citizen and our collective affection for this neighborhood alive! Taste of Tribeca is in its 25th year and for a while we were panicking about not being able to advertise our event here. We’re thrilled we still can. Best of luck and we will be in touch soon! — Taste of Tribeca on And Here’s to Many More

Well done Erik! This was fun to read, and as usual left me with several great neighborhood tips. My wife still doesn't understand how I'm so in-the-know about what's happening all over Tribeca. We'll miss you. — Jacob Weisberg on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Wow ... see what you have done Erik, congratulations ! — Bronwyn on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

"Added to the agenda for tonight’s meeting of the Community Board 1 Land Use Committee: Borough Based Jail System Plan & Manhattan Detention Complex " Finding out about this late for me to plan to attend, unfortunately, as I'm out of town. I hope others can attend and get involved in this issue. We all deserve to know the potential effects on the neighborhood(s), the city, our tax dollars, and evidence that this very expensive ($20 billion?) project would really correct the problems of the current system. Our communities should have a real say (as in influence on the decision, not just a chance to vent frustration) in the course of events. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Whitmans Restaurant Is Open

EriKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!! — Jim Smithers on The End Is Near

I am disappointed and sad to read this news. In the 19 years that I worked in Tribeca I have never met a kinder, nicer and more genuinely caring person than you, Eric. I very much looked forward to reading your “paper” and being updated in all the news “ that fit to print” You very especially kind to us while we owned Antiqueria Tribeca, and for that I will be immensely grateful. Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you go and chose to do. — Marion Feig on The End Is Near

Sheesh, lighten up TG. Do you really need to get into self-righteous outrage about nostalgia? Maybe we should ban history classes - students getting quizzed about DEAD PEOPLE, how ghastly. — Leo on Quiz: Dead Restaurants (Part 8)

Thinking yesterday about you leaving and what Tribeca Citizen has meant to me... New York is huge and to survive you need to find a place to belong, a neighborhood. You can find it by frequenting the same shops, taking the same route and greeting people along the way, meeting your neighbors, or reading the local newspaper/blog. You provided a voice that brought all of us together. Thanks, Erik. — Ellen2 on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

‘Twenty dollars ?’ Just squirted caffe latte all over my table and out of every hole in my head. You shall be sorely missed Erik. — Lisa on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells
