When GOA came to the community board they came as an Indian restaurant...not a club and no later than 1am. Please report to 311 and 911 and SLA .. — TM on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

“For those who know our world, the magic happens when our amazing members and guests connect meaningfully. We curate these nights as art and performance that wraps around you, the people you meet, and the conversations you have.” The wordiest way of saying that they're a club for boring tech/finance people who think "curating" visually interesting things is the same as being artistic or creative. Glad I'm not rich enough to buy whatever they're selling (which is almost certainly less "meaningful" and "ambitious" as what the average loft-dweller artist was doing in Tribeca circa 1977). — Elizabeth on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

I would like to add another review. The menu is innovative; the food and service were really great. Wonderful addition to the neighborhood! — Elizabeth on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Those against it should be in touch with the Commuity Board. Who is on it? How would one be in touch with them? — George Bacon on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

No, it not a sex club. — Vince G on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

I am astounded at the self-righteous and provincial attitudes expressed here. Considering who is behind CX, they will have all their permits and permissions in order and there will be nothing illegal there. If you think not, call the authorities! If you find night life despicable, why do you live in NYC? Especially, why Tribeca (which is essentially FiDi), where the most craven, greed-forward activity in the USA takes place, in broad daylight? — Vince G on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

You need to write a book, sir. — Scott Y on A fake bar for Netflix at the Seaport

Sounds like it is a plan for just disrupting the neighborhood. How did this happen? — nancy a on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

Make Gigino’s great again!! It sounds like a Salvation Army is coming — Ma on Wagner Park restaurant goes to a Queens company that operates The Migrant Kitchen

Speaking of our Community Board, I understand it is with their blessing that the Brazilian restaurant on Duane Street has now held two Sunday out-in-the-street dancing parties with deafeningly amplified music -- music heard in apartments for blocks around -- from late afternoon until 9 pm. Shameful. — George Bacon on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

Too little and too late. Also cannot support him as he just endorsed a communist. — Palli on Washington Market Park will get another cash infusion for playgrounds

BTW the City Council has passed legislation which "eliminates all criminal penalties for licensed street vendors and misdemeanor penalties for unlicensed sellers" https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/10/council-veto-override-street-vendor-instacart/ — lia on Washington Market Park will get another cash infusion for playgrounds

Still waiting for CM to address the illegal vending of counterfeit goods on Canal which has trashed the neighborhood. Looks like he really picks and chooses his priorities and who he wants to please. — R. on Washington Market Park will get another cash infusion for playgrounds

Looked at the website, it's a nightclub at the end of day that is border line Epsteinish/P-Diddyish. — Sandra on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

It was loud and disruptive. How do we find out if approved by community board? Would love to stop this from happening again. — Cat on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

Went on Saturday night and loved it! — K on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Michael, we have many empty retail storefronts in the neighborhood, right? It makes me wince when folks complain about new businesses —whether it’s the “we don’t need” this type of business or “these prices are crazy.” What did you think you would accomplish by disparaging this new restaurant (that you obviously do not intend to patronize)? Would you prefer that the space remain empty? Regarding price points, it’s incredibly hard to turn a profit at a NYC restaurant. Have you ever looked at a restaurant’s expense budget? Like any retail business, a restaurant sets its prices at a level that is projected to cover its operating costs and make a reasonable profit, and then makes a judgment as to whether those prices will fly. It’s incredibly risky! Lastly, this place sounds very special! I think you are being presumptuous when you say you could cook the same food at home for a fraction of the price. Do you make your own pasta from scratch? Bravo if you do. Do you make your own sauces from scratch or open a jar? Whatever, if this sort of authentic Italian cooking doesn’t appeal to you, DON’T EAT THERE! But please resist poisoning the neighborhood’s reception of a new business! Let’s welcome them and hope they thrive! — SW on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

While the prices are high for pasta, overhead (rent) in Tribeca is extremely high so it is natural that those costs are passed along to the consumer. I am really looking forward to trying this restaurant. — TribecaMom on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

I'm not sure it's sheepliness. If the cost just doesn't matter to you, there's little lovelier, if you enjoy food, than to be served truly excellent pasta, cooked by a professional. So the answer to your question, "In what world..." is: a world wherein many have found they can make a good living by targeting only people for whom cost is not an issue. NYC, right now, is that world. Pretty simple, abundant evidence. — mulciber on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Though I'd like to be positive, their self-description is kind of gag-inducing. — mulciber on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

Great. I hope they can compete with the hoards of tourists buying illegal knock offs from the the hoards of illegals selling. We don't need new sidewalks, we the authorities to enforce the law. — Michael on World’s largest chain restaurant is coming to Canal Street

4am?!?! and this was approved the Community board? jeez — Richard on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

In what world are these prices reasonable? $32 for cavatelli with no protein?!?! I don’t care how good the pasta is, a pasta only dish is not worth more than $15. For that price you could make a few days worth of the same thing and if you are a good cook, it will be way better. When will the sheeple wake up and stop supporting this absurdity. — Michael on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Hubby and I went two nights ago! It's FANTASTIC! Nicola, the owner, formerly ran I Trulli! Nonna Dora was there also with "her girls" making fresh pasta. It will fill a real hole in the neighborhood that has been here since Roc left. Excellent food with excellent Italian hospitality. We booked two more dinners all ready. — Genevieve on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

While I've not been a big supporter of Councilman Marte in the past, he has converted me. He's saved the park. — G on Washington Market Park will get another cash infusion for playgrounds
