  • I love the Chapmans!! How wonderful. I think my little patio may be too exposed to the winds and weather facing North and 35 flights up but I will check out the NY Beekeepers website and see. Wonderful and yummy! — TG on In the News: Another Racially Motivated Attack

  • It's a touchy subject these days. (And I should've said thanks for the links—the Wharton one really lays out the challenges faced by Barnes & Noble.) — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

  • My apartment looks out on the teenagers asking for donations on the corner of Duane and Greenwich and we have been observing them for what seems to be months now. I stopped to speak with them recently and had a nice conversation. They were very friendly and happy to provide more information about themselves, their group, and why they are raising money. This is the group they are with: https://www.brooklyn-leadership.org/house-of-champions/about/our-needs The groups website also connects to Fractured Atlas for donations: https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/fiscal/profile?id=13821#comments I called Fractured Atlas and they confirmed that this group is in good standing and are going to have someone follow up with me directly. While I don't necessarily agree with their fundraising techniques, I would like to believe they have good intentions unless I am proven wrong. — Chris on Seen & Heard: Remembering Nobu Downtown’s Chef

  • I'm so sorry that you were offended Erik. It was a bad attempt at humor. Enjoy the day. — Ruben on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

  • I don't know about B&N, but Gamestop is out at the end of the year. RKF has it up for lease. — mruptight on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

  • "Fake news" is a term being used by the government to discredit the media as dishonest—as if the media is making stuff up to show the president, and others, in a bad light. I don't think that's what you mean here—B&N's possible closing is something someone heard from someone in the know, but it's unverifiable (and labeled as such)—so I'm trying not take offense. But it's a struggle. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

  • It might not be fake news: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/can-barnes-noble-survive/ https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/12/barnes-noble-bookstores-retail-amazon — Ruben on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

  • If Barnes and Noble leaves does that make the Mysterious Bookshop the only book store left in Tribeca? No where to buy kids books then? — DeeDee on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

  • "Unwarranted honking and stationary food-truck jingles produced the biggest spikes in noise. Both sources are illegal in New York City." So why aren't the laws enforced? — Marcus on In the News: Noise Pollution Near Tribeca Schools

  • Popped in recently; fantastic addition to the neighborhood, great drinks and they were so nice. We will be regulars and wish them the best of luck! — O on New Kid on the Block: Interlude Coffee & Tea

  • Really nice people!! Its good energy over there. And honestly a reeally good cappuccino!! — Rose on New Kid on the Block: Interlude Coffee & Tea

  • The trip scammers on Greenwich are very aggressive and sometimes intimidating. On occasion, I have been approached two or three times on the same evening. It ruins my walk home from work. Since it is a scam, it is criminal, just not important enough for the powers that be to act. It is certainly a detriment to the quality of life in the neighborhood. — IJM on Seen & Heard: Remembering Nobu Downtown’s Chef

  • Agreed re: captain's comp and benefits. I would not tip the captain. Just my server. — TribMa on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino

  • Yes, that's possible (if there's space). — Erik Torkells on First Impressions: Manhatta

  • If you're not there for dinner, do you know if it's possible to drop in just for drinks and still enjoy and have benefits of the view, etc.? — james on First Impressions: Manhatta

  • Those cobblestones on Greenwhich St., and elsewhere I might add, are extremely dangerous. First of all who lays cobblestones almost 2” apart with the smooth side down & craggy side up? No wonder bikers ride on the sidewalks! I have been in a lot of places around the world and have never ever seen cobblestoned streets like this. I also remember the Hudson Street/8th Ave. cobblestones which were smooth on top and about 1/4” apart. You can still see some of the same type of cobblestone placements or what’s left of them on Franklin St. right near the curbs between Hudson & Varick. Even the first newer cobblestoning of Jay St. done in the early 80’s is awful. I love cobblestones myself but at this point of unskilled cobblestone layers I personally think it’s best to use it solely as decoration and not for traffic or pedestrian use. — Dixie on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino

  • The captain at a restaurant has a good hourly wage and probably receives benefits. Your server does not. Please tip your server. — anna on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino
