Health Code says these kind of child care facilities require 2 means of egress, and fire escapes do not count. If you have a store in a typical 25-feet wide building that is not on a corner, no 2 exits to the street will be sufficiently "remote," i.e., separated 30+ feet from each other, to count as 2 means of egress per the Building Code. This is true even if you use the residential entrance as a second means of egress (as allowed in converted loft buildings). That limits the legal spaces for this kind of use to the wider (40-50+ feet wide) storefronts and corner buildings. This space is 7,000 SF on ground, basement, and mezzanine. https://cdn-img1.streeteasy.com/nyc/image/89/46498689.gif — James on Citibabes Isn’t Moving to Tribeca

Super dumb question, but aren't there numerous empty storefronts in Tribeca that Citibabes could move to? Also, Citibabes would be a great name for an adult entertainment establishment. You wit me, fellas and gals? — Jim Smithers on Citibabes Isn’t Moving to Tribeca

Terri Fidi does really nice tofu scrambles on an English muffin, perhaps they would be willing to do it as a plate vs a sandwich. — Kristin on Seen & Heard: City Winery’s New Performance Space

Hi neighbors, I am writing this comment from the first precinct holding room while I wait to be released after being charged with trespassing it is alleged by a principal at Town Stages that I was told at the CB1 licensing hearing on 11/8/17 not to set foot on their premises. I would like to go on record as saying that I have never had a direct conversation with anyone from their organization so I am confused? After the meeting that night where “our side” was sitting about 40 feet away from theirs, I walked home with 4 or 5 of my neighbors who I will ask to appear to testify on my behalf . Ironically, Twon Stages liaison has been emailing me for a sit down meeting while the complaint was in the works. Covering all bases I guess. — Andrew Scheman on Seen & Heard: Town Stages vs. the Neighbors

You deserve a vacation. The Tribeca Citizen is amazing and you do an incredible job. — Will Meyerhofer on Where in Tribeca…?

my first thought on the stalker is how terrifying that must be. Awful she has to go through that sort of harassment. She has my sincere sympathy. The dark side of the whole "fame" thing. — Will Meyerhofer on In the News: Stalker Found Sleeping in Taylor Swift’s Bed

Thank you Tribeca Citizen for posting my statement front and Center. I think it’s only fair that you publish the email from Town Stages’ representative to me that preceded (?) their decision to have me arrested. My response to the email as I stated in my initial statement was that the forum for discussion was CB1 and the SLA and that I had no authority to speak with them on behalf of the community and that I was merely requesting them to abide by things they had already agreed to. Since their response to that was to have me arrested then I invite them to use this forum to respond to their neighbors. regarding the following: - repeatedly allowing the door to be propped open on White Street against SLA and CB1 stipulations - not providing the agreed to means of access to the Sokoloffs during events - not having the appropriate personnel stationed at exits - possibly serving alcohol without a license - not alerting the community to an event that was not in their schedule I’d like to add one more to the list. The sound study they promised to the community. The position of the community after consulting with a bona fide sound company that is in the list of approved consultants for this type of work (theirs is not) is that their study is a farce. Please share the reason why a legitimate study cannot be undertaken? Here is the email from their “liaison” Hi Andrew, I represent Robin and Scott Sokoloff of Town Stages as a community liaison. They asked me to reach out in an effort to continue their good neighbor policy and be responsive to any concerns. Would love to grab a cup of coffee with you to get up to speed on everything. Please let me know what works. Looking forward to hearing from you. All the best, Scott -- Scott Levenson — Andrew Scheman on Seen & Heard: Town Stages vs. the Neighbors

hi we had a similar incident same day, same year, yesterday, april 20, 2018, around 5.30pm over north cambridge, massachusetts. i called the police who said they did not know anything. i emailed the mayor who said he didn't know anything and would find out. i haven't heard a word. these helicopters were large, black and military. they flew so low that our three-story building shook and people came out on the street to look and say things were rattling in their apts. flying lasted about 10 minutes. they made about three passes, lower each time. googling this, i find nothing but your posting. adding to the general info thread. j merryman — j merryman on Military Helicopters Scare Lower Manhattan

"249 Church, at the northeast corner of Leonard, has gone behind the plywood." - This might be a bit nitpicky but the layout of this shed is a bit frustrating as it leaves very little room to squeeze through between it and Citi Bike stations... Just saying that if you're walking west on the north side of Leonard you reach a fairly unpleasant near-dead-end. — E on Seen & Heard: Urgent Care Clinic Has Temporarily Closed

While unfortunate, this is also ironic in a way, given the history of the Brooklyn Bridge: From "The Great Bridge" by David McCullough "The towers, the 'most conspicuous features,' would be identical and 268 feet high. They would stand on either side of the river, in the water but close to shore, their foundations out of sight beneath the riverbed. Their most distinguishing features would be twin Gothic arches -- two in each tower -- through which the roadways were to pass. These arches would rise more than a hundred feet, like majestic cathedral windows, or the portals of triumphal gateways. [...] "[Roebling's] towers would dwarf everything else in view. They would reign over the landscape like St. Peters in Rome or the Capitol dome in Washington, as one newspaper said. In fact, the towers would be higher than the Capitol dome if the dome's crowning statue of Freedom was not taken into account. So this in the year 1869 -- when the Washington Monument was still an ugly stone stump -- meant they would be about the largest, most massive things ever built on the entire North American continent. On the New York skyline only the slim spire of Trinity Church at the head of Wall Street reached higher."

I haven't thought enough about this to answer as thoughtfully as I should—and I don't think you can underestimate the weather on the photos—but my initial feeling was that SHoP did a neat job of creating multiple interesting moments in what might've otherwise been a large block (which is how I remember the old Pier 17). It's all a bit cold now, because there's nothing there yet; then again, the WTC Oculus never looked as good as it did before the stores arrived. I will say that I'm not a fan of some of the textures and layers: It's probably too much, and some of it will be turn dated (especially the elements that remind me of shipping containers, which must have felt fresher five years ago). Finally, while I might've preferred a grand public space, that's not necessarily what HHC needs to lure people to the Seaport. (Or is it? If, say, a major museum opened there, would that help traffic more that shops, restaurants, etc.?) — Erik Torkells on The First Real Look Inside Pier 17

Did any of you grow up in the time when schools did unannounced air raid drills during the time when the US? Kids, all the way from Kindergarten through 12th grade were subjected to those drills. I get people get scared. But this is life. Things aren't all comfy cozy anywhere. Better that your child be aware that there may be an incident where this sort of thing is not a drill but an unfortunate real situation occurring. So tell them it's ok to be scared & teach them what to do just in case you're not around to pull them away from the window or comfort them. Did any of you have a kid in school on 9/11 that you couldn't get to or reach when all the area schools went on lockdown? Kids were scared & so were the parents of those kids. But afterwards we had to sit them down & tell them what they should do in the event they are in a crisis situation & we're not able to get to them. I'd rather have my house or apartment shake knowing that they're prepared for a situation than to be able to watch TV without being startled by a real event. Oh yeah that's right. I was subjected to it often when they still tested planes out of Gruman. Chill out people. Seriously. Let them do their job. An attack doesn't come with a heads up warning in advance. — SMT on Military Helicopters Scare Lower Manhattan
