Isn't this the same spot of the man that was murdered ( jewelry store)? very weird look to it when I past by also. — Native on Seen & Heard: Gentleman’s Barber Spa Has Opened
Currently the Weill Cornell offices are all contained on the 4th Floor so maybe the Eye Care Center is still a go or maybe creating a separate entrance. Great practice the whole family has consolidated to 40 Worth. — Tribeca Mom on Seen & Heard: Gentleman’s Barber Spa Has Opened
Image 34 is probably 456 Greenwich Street, looking west at the building, at north side of the lot. The wall to the right appears to be the south wall of 458 Greenwich Street. — James on Tribeca Then and Now: The Unknowns (Part 3)
I take it there is just signage for the facility as many people don't even know it's there. I would be really surprised if they are going to rebuild the offices from the 4th floor of the building where they currently are to the ground floor. — HH on Seen & Heard: Gentleman’s Barber Spa Has Opened
What's the new stuff on the ground floor? Or is it all just moving within the building? — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Gentleman’s Barber Spa Has Opened
The Weill Cornell medical facility has been at 40 Worth Street for years (pretty much after NYP purchased NY Downtown Hospital). Great service and staff. I moved uptown and still travel downtown to see a few doctors at that office (and to also get a snack at the Arcade bakery). — Heather Hopkins on Seen & Heard: Gentleman’s Barber Spa Has Opened
Am I the only one who loves the stark contrast between Gentleman’s Barber Spa and the objectification of women RazzleDazzle? Finally saw someone in there, though he looked like he was being paid to be there. — DeeDee on Seen & Heard: Gentleman’s Barber Spa Has Opened
Way Too many night shoots on Hubert St and Collister. 2 big productions last week. 1 per month is enough. They set up before dawn noisily, block entrance to our home and have huge lights on cranes glaring in our windows. In LA neighbors are informed in advance and compensated. In NYC productions should compensate with contributions to the neighborhood parks or school. — Jane Dickson on The Desperate Need for Film-Shoot Reform
Image 28 is 177 Franklin Street ("Shinola"). — James on Tribeca Then and Now: The Unknowns (Part 3)
Image 29 is 179 Franklin Street (south side east of Greenwich Street) — James on Tribeca Then and Now: The Unknowns (Part 3)
Image 27 is at 467 Greenwich Street. Image 33 is the same building, a few doors to the south. — James on Tribeca Then and Now: The Unknowns (Part 3)
Image 30 is north side of Harrison Street, just east of Greenwich Street — James on Tribeca Then and Now: The Unknowns (Part 3)
Very good advice to log in and accumulate the 311 complaints but.... you MUST forward your SRNotification # to CB1, man01@cb.nyc.gov , so they have that record. Same thing, CB1 thinks all is fine unless/until they see the complaints. 311 sends the complaint to the appropriate agency to investigate but it goes no where after that unless YOU forward it to CB1. Then it is on record with your community advocates. — neighbor on The Desperate Need for Film-Shoot Reform
The return of Kerry's gallery to the block is most welcome. Enterprises that have moved in over the past few years haven't been as fitting to the immediate neighborhood's origins, and Kerry is a longtime resident. It's encouraging, and I wish him well! — David G Imber on Seen & Heard: Greca’s New Menus
Does anyone know when the Bogardus Park overhaul will be done? It seems like it has been going on forever, and so far all they seem to be doing is updating the utilities under Hudson Street. The project is a constant source of noise, and of the 15 or so workers typically on site, it seems as if only a handful are doing anything but standing around. I have counted as many as four at a time of the workers holding "stop/slow" signs at the intersection of Hudson and Reade Streets. Yikes! — Bruce Hood on Seen & Heard: Greca’s New Menus
imagine the concierge knocking on the door,"excuse me, it's time to move your room for alternate side of the street parking." — safe as milk on In the News: Inside a 56 Leonard Pied-à-Terre
311 while may feel nebulous to many it is productive when utilized...hope the complainers have logged one per bothersome shoot... otherwise, enjoy your frustration. We are part of NYC & have resources to use for objections and if thats what the Film office shows to justify the location ( no complaints = that all are happy) then you are part of the problem...if you get a case # its reported, could not be made easier via phone or app. If you've not done it...get used to the daily show. — Tamk on The Desperate Need for Film-Shoot Reform
Donna - that was me yelling at the PAs, and yes, I'm totally sick of these shoots. On top of that experience, I returned home at midnight Friday and found a huge generator truck sitting outside of my second floor window making a ton of noise/stinking up the block. PAs told me it would be there until 4AM and seemed unable to find the production manager who was "busy". I've seen these groups leave trash on our stoop, block sidewalks with their trailers/food tents and redirect pedestrian traffic for their convenience. We don't pay astronomical taxes to live on a movie set for which we receive next to nothing in return. A substantial portion of the fees paid should go to our parks, schools and general neighborhood cleanup (which is increasingly littered with trash and dog poo). — Nathaniel Moore on The Desperate Need for Film-Shoot Reform
I'm thinking that so many of these shoots take place inside buildings and I wonder if it is because the area has had so many "professionals" move into it that they are friends of friends in the film business who make extra money having these productions go into their homes. Having said that the people who like to see all the trucks take over our neighborhood clearly do not work in retail or the food industry. These productions bring nothing to the party but disturbance. I am all for production, manufacturing and a trove of activity but this is not what these film sets bring. They don't shop locally - a lot of their teams are rude and they pollute the air with their endless engines. Go away, TriBeCa doesn't want you. Long live small retail and bustling sidewalks. — TG on The Desperate Need for Film-Shoot Reform
I live on leonard between church and broadway basically known as a construction site for the last 10 years and showing no signs of slowing down. Last week I went out- on the corner of leonard and church is an illegal construction shed with outdated permits and a film shoot on the same block. The trucks generators were going all day and night. I had to walk in the street to avoid notvonlyvthe film shoot but the illegal sidewalk construction. It is very unpleasant and anyone that says it’s exciting is delusional. I love my place where I live and work but going outside weekdays and even some weekends has become impossible and miserable. Add to all this the tickets we get for sanitation offenses that are not ours the noise of the constant cement and debris trucks and busses rerouted from Worth street construction and what you have is a total mess. It’s depressing. I have complained about all of this to the requisite agencies but they do nothing. The “new” residents seem oblivious to it all. — Tino on The Desperate Need for Film-Shoot Reform
Add to your list that they should be required to make a contribution directly to the neighborhood -- i.e. fund the planting of trees, the repaving of streets, maintaining the parks, or general beautification funds. It's crazy to me that the neighborhood gets all the issues related with the congestion but none of the benefits (i.e. money) supposedly provided to the city. Would make it far more palatable to know that we are getting something out of it. — DK on The Desperate Need for Film-Shoot Reform
I agree with Erik, the number of shoots has got totally out of hand. The trailers run their engines all night which means having to have windows closed, let alone the pollution that causes. The steps from the trailers impede the sidewalk and this is especially awkward in an area where there are so many children in strollers. Film shoots, OK but there must be some sort of limit to the number of them and where there are multiple shoots as there were the other day on Church, Reade and West Broadway, the inconvenience caused is exacerbated. For those people who are sufficiently star-struck to want to ogle celebrities and the shoots(!!!), maybe THEY are the ones who should move away....to Hollywood. — Bob M on The Desperate Need for Film-Shoot Reform

Too many film shoots on Hubert St and Collister. It’s every weekend and it’s very disruptive. — Jane Dickson on Seen & Heard: Any Word on Best Market?
