^^^ Liked a comment. — Drew on In the News: Joe’s Pizza Is Opening in FiDi

Saving that for the sequel. — Erik Torkells on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Really going to miss emailing you questions of store closings, store openings or trying to figure out what the hell is going on at ... — Sandra on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

I believe the actual title of the memoir will be "The Painfully Long Goodbye, The Eric Torcells Story." — Jim Smithers on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Looking forward to reading your forthcoming memoir -- "Never Go To A Party On A Boat: The Erik Torkells Story" -- in which you finally reveal the 48 Warren story. But seriously, thanks again for the site and all the hard work you put into it. You really are a neighborhood treasure. Godspeed. — Paul on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

So many reasons you'll be missed for a long time, Erik. Here's one: https://twitter.com/Komanoff/status/1083395612073230336 — Charles Komanoff on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

From one California native to another (but I am staying here...), we will miss you so much, Erik!!! Thank you for being here while it lasted!!!! Keep in touch and never stop being your wonderful self. Xoxoxoxoxo — Jsk on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

48 Warren. I’m overwhelmed with a need to know... — Paulette on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

I will miss your pithy comments and news about the neighborhood in general. As you say, things change. I lived in TriBeCa for ten years and recently moved to Soho. Nothing is perfect but I was tired of nannies and strollers and favorite restaurants closing. I’m originally from the West Coast. Santa Barbara is nice but the problem with having been a New Yorker for so long is that we grow used to what the city has to offer in spite of the often bad weather and toughness of the place. It makes it hard to settle over time anywhere else. However, I find more New Yorkers adjust to California better than Californians adjust to anyplace else. I’ve even toyed with going back but my kids are grown and consider themselves New Yorkers. Santa Barbara is beautiful and the best thing about it is the airport—not a small thing. Good luck! Maybe you will start another blog and we can all live vicariously. — Janet on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Yeah sure - keep telling yourself that Erik. — TG on Quiz: Dead Restaurants (Part 8)

Absolutely no individual who works in Real Estate should hold a position on the CB1’s Landmarks Preservation Committee! It is a serious conflict of interest. God, am I glad I voted YES this past Fall. Out with you all - we need fresh blood (with the exception of Bob T. from Manhattan Youth. Who actually care about the community and not their commissions!) — TG on In the News: Are Billboard Barges Illegal?

Yes, you've mentioned it every time. My guess is that you care more about this than the restaurateurs (most of whom I met over the years), who might actually be delighted that people remember their endeavors. — Erik Torkells on Quiz: Dead Restaurants (Part 8)

i really enjoyed reading you over the years. my wife had a business down there there back in the day and your coverage/mention was a big help to us in that endeavor. best wishes. — Dan on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Oh goodie! Another business to add to your list Erik. — TG on Seen & Heard: The Tribeca Party

Don’t leave! Please! — Bruce Ehrmann on In the News: Frenchette Dissent

Again, I share my disgust that you have made a game of lost businesses. Creepy. Yet you remain steadfast in your distastefulness. — TG on Quiz: Dead Restaurants (Part 8)

Never been to Puffys?! Stop by at lunch time - might be in the running for best sandwich — TC on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Happy to find out you are a fellow Duke grad! Thanks so much for all of your contributions on this site! — Krista on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

This made me misty-eyed. I’m really going to miss seeing what you have to say every morning when I read the website. — McGee on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

So.. .who is taking this site over? — Jeff on TCQ&A: Erik Torkells

Congrats to you for this awesome undertaking. Your dedication and alligence to the Art World is an inspiration to all who aspire to share their creations. Much success will follow your lead. — Sharon J Townley on Three-Level Art Complex to Open on Franklin Place

Ughhh goodbye any chance of a summer body. — Fatass on In the News: Joe’s Pizza Is Opening in FiDi

1. Dosateria 5. Daruma-Ya 7. Lotus Blue 12. Perpetuum Cafe — RN on Quiz: Dead Restaurants (Part 8)

Wow, really kicking it up a notch... 4 - Tokyo Bar? — Leo on Quiz: Dead Restaurants (Part 8)

Seriously? First we lose the one on Maiden Lane and now Kori? I guess we will try GunBae, but we have the worst luck in closing our favorite restaurants. — mruptight on Seen & Heard: Kori’s Status Remains Unclear
