nice BEE reference — Andy C on Souths Is Closing

Two biggest differences from then to now, no more bars on the windows and much less graffiti. — Steve on Tribeca Then and Now: Franklin Street

It’ll be there next spring. Community Board 1 makes restaurants wait six months to a year after opening before they can have tables outside. — Erik Torkells on New Kid on the Block: Frenchette

What no outdoor space? That was the best part of Cercle Rouge! — Pa'tri on New Kid on the Block: Frenchette

High prices or not, I am not at all excited with the menu. Bummer. — Tribma on New Kid on the Block: Frenchette

Love these posts — tribeca16 on Tribeca Then and Now: Franklin Street

NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!! I sentiment with the previous comments. Great owners, great staff, nice crowd. Zero complaints for years. Where will I be able to get my local bison burger now?!?! — RC on Souths Is Closing

I first discovered this place through friends and clients of Tower/Lime around 2010. Many great relationships and memories were formed here over a few pints, whiskey, nachos and CFC on Tuesday nights. I have constantly tried to introduce people to this special place and it is special. It’s a crying shame it’s going away. Is there any character left in this city? Johnny and Roger...thank you for everything. Best wishes with whatever lies next. — Rob on Souths Is Closing

When Grace shut, there went the 4 a.m. chicken sandwich; when the original Noir left, there went Sunday afternoon; that South's is shutting, might as well move to Westchester and start over in life. If you didn't like South's, you belong at Espace with that d**ckhead Marcus Halberstram from 56 Leonard. — JO on Souths Is Closing

God damn it. The nicest place, the nicest people. Guess I'll just have to pour vodka in my tracy anderson green juices in private shame now :( — Nikolay S on Souths Is Closing

Wow - this is an end of an era in TriBeCa....I guess the only places to eat or drink in the 'hood will cost you an arm and a leg. — HH on Souths Is Closing

NO EFFING WAY. Tribeca is now official soul-less. RIP Souths, RIP Tribeca. Thanks Jason for the nights I left my dignity (but not my wallet) on the floor, and the walks home as the sun came up. — Andy C on Souths Is Closing

Speaking of vacancies (and sorry if I missed a post on this!) but does anyone know what is going on at the Chipotle location on Murray and Greenwich? Looks like the equipment is being ripped out and there is a handwritten closed sign on the door. — Lisa on In the News: De Blasio Considering “Vacancy Tax” on Retail Landlords

"Homework Therapist" could have been part of Erik's Sunday post and easily made more sense. — Jeff on In the News: Contraction at Condé Nast

Can we stop the petty comments about prices of children's coats, etc. Where is all this envy coming from? — George on New Kid on the Block: Frenchette

Can the Rikers Island closing "plan" still be reconsidered altogether, or is it a done deal? Sounds like a very questionable idea of "progress". — Marcus on In the News: Battle of the Beans

A.- I'm excited about Frenchette, but your comment got me wondering about the going rate per person for a chicken entree (sometimes with potatoes) in our neighborhood. Here's what I found: Above $32 per person Locanda Verde Marc Forgione $31-$32 per person Frenchette Little Park Tiny's Odeon American Cut $29-$30 per person Yves Tribeca Grill Sure, we'd all like prices to be lower, but in context Frenchette seems like they're pretty reasonable for this market. — Tribeca Chicken on New Kid on the Block: Frenchette

$64 for roast chicken and potatoes for two? I suspect the neighbors who will be jamming the place are same folks whose 1 year old children wear $350 Montcler down jackets. The local emperor has no/very expensive clothes. — A. on New Kid on the Block: Frenchette

Going here before and after having gone to New York Dolls would be sardonic. — JOR on Inside the Huge New Chick-fil-A

Welcome Frenchette! Great vibe, better food. Instant classic! — Anon on In the News: First Look Inside Frenchette

Awesome red tailed hawk sighting, thanks to J. for sending it in! — SD on Seen & Heard: Sunday Nights at the Strip Club

I guess the New York Dolls Club is the gentrified, blandified, and more importantly, the Vongerichtified version of Harmony Burlesque and Baby Doll Lounge. Prefer and bring back those the latter two. — JOR on Seen & Heard: Sunday Nights at the Strip Club

The Starbucks sign is already up. Spotted it this weekend... — Jennifer on Seen & Heard: Sunday Nights at the Strip Club

Including and especially the air rights! — JOR on Seen & Heard: Who’s Lived in Tribeca the Longest?

DOG poop is really disgusting for residents. We should be calling out anyone who doesn’t curb their dog. Owners seem to be happy to let dogs go wherever they want. — Jj on Seen & Heard: Who’s Lived in Tribeca the Longest?
