A wonderful (won’t say final) issue! Check out La Superica in Santa Barbara for magnificent tacos on homemade tortillas. And also, in the summer, go to Montecito to the Acadmey of the West to stroll the gardens and hear the wonderful classical music from the aspiring your musicians. — Alex on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Thank you Erik for all you have contributed to our neighborhood. Pls let me know who is taking over! — matt Derella on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Until, I believe, they got a "C" on their health rating. You have to work for that. — G on In the News: Souen Restaurant Is Closing

Sad news about Souen. I liked that place, good solid healthy food, reasonable prices. It always seemed busy/successful. — Marcus on In the News: Souen Restaurant Is Closing

We will miss you Erik! Thank you for all the great hood information over the last 9 years. Enjoy Cali! — Nicole on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

I'm really going to miss you Erik. I am happy for you that all of the hard work you've put into this site will not be wasted. Congratulations on finding a buyer and all the adventures to come in this new chapter. — JulieW on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

been interesting reading part 1-7, and seeing some names not thought about in years. A few i didn't see or missed in reading....Nam Phuong on 6th avenue(across from the old garden center/then tribeca grand)very nice family and wonderful food. Grace on Franklin St with the long bar ... Franklin Station Cafe, which thankfully is relocated to Chinatown as Aux Epices. the movies in that small spot and New Year's Eve dinners with Mel and Mai. Anyone remember NoMoore, corner of North Moore and W Broadway? Interesting concept, more of a bar and some tables and they had takeout menus for local tribeca spots and you'd order and they'd pick up from your choice and bring it to their spot. — jon higgins on Quiz: Dead Restaurants (Part 7)

Was just thinking about Riverrun. the rotating art on the walls from local artist. Sitting in the back booth writing christmas cards, having stir fried fettucine with vegetables and then some three berry pie - from a bakery around the corner on greenwich street. wonderspot. nothing like it anymore. Walkers may be the closest to what it was like early 90's. — jon higgins on When Tribeca Was Small (Part Two)

Canal Street Post Office. I finally got one right !!! — John on Where in Tribeca…?

Thanks. Fixed it. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: More Closings at the Local Malls

Thank you for those old scanned article pages. Fascinating, and of course tinted now with melancholy in our post-9/11 age. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: More Closings at the Local Malls

The expansion at Brookfield Place is for SuiStudio (the Women's Store) and not Suit Supply (the Men's Store). I asked. The women's store is doubling in space less than a year after opening, — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: More Closings at the Local Malls

Page 3 is missing, it's a dupe of page 1. — Leo Clark on Seen & Heard: More Closings at the Local Malls

Enough already! — SW on Seen & Heard: The Tribeca Party

Think this was my fave post of yours - a true ode to Tribeca of now + what used to be. Your take will be missed. Wishing you the best in your next chapter. — Cat P on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Erik you have been such a blessing for all of us here. You connected our community here all by keeping us informed, frustrated, or simply in the know. Your voice and insights will be missed. I will miss the view of Tribeca through your eyes. No doubt you will go and do amazing things in SB, please keep us informed. I think we will all miss you. Thank you for everything. And yes, please- 48 Warren?!? xo — Nichole on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

I hope he or she is at least half as witty and amusing as Erik! We will really miss you... Wish you all the best in Sunny Ca - It is BRRR cold in NYC :) — Rohin on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Erik, I'll miss seeing the neighborhood through your eyes. You have a wonderful talent for sharing topics and goings-on in the most straightforward, amusing ways... with a good helping of sass when called for. I hope you'll love being back in California. When you feel the urge to judge another pumpkin carving contest just say the word. — Erica M on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Loved reading this. Especially like No. 42 about businesses you miss. The Harrison, North End Grill and Duane Park Cafe will always hold fond memories. My wife and I were at DPC when Lady Gaga appeared late one night. We were tipped off by trumpeter Brian Newman that "somebody big...I mean BIG" was coming by. She came in preceded by security and accompanied by a small entourage and sat at the table next to us, where she re-applied her makeup. Brian called her up to the stage and she belted out a marvelous version of, "Someone to Watch Over Me," eliciting a raucous standing ovation. (The way she opened "A Star is Born" was not too far off.) I ran into afterwards on the stairs as I was coming up from the bathroom. "Gaga," says I (we were on a first or possibly second name basis), "you were fantastic." She smiled and said, "That's so sweet," and reached over to pat my cheek, stumbling in her ginormous heels. (According to the papers the next day, she was rather drunk that night at a baseball game -- and probably should have warn flats.) Fortunately, she regained her balance, no Lady Gagas were harmed, and everyone went home, some to a Bad Romance. — Jon on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Best of luck! You’ll be missed. — Faith on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells
