Nah, Julie Menin is more concerned with staying on the good side of Hollywood than actually wanting to make a lasting difference in the lives within the neighborhood. Nothing ever changes because no one ever has the integrity to not give a shit about not giving a shit. — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Dead Rabbit Reopening Date

Maybe Julie Menin, former Chair of CB 1, now the head of Mayor's office in charge can be contacted directly. She used to care deeply about the neighborhood, but perhaps that has changed. — G on Seen & Heard: Dead Rabbit Reopening Date

Whoa looks awesome, I wanna see the scale in person! — Sarah on Tribeca Park’s New Sculpture

The Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment / Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting released a new "Hot Spot" List recently. Hot Spots are locations put on hiatus from filming by the City after recent overuse. The downtown and Tribeca Hot Spots should be expanded after all the permits issued so far in 2018. (Maybe our esteemed Councilperson Chin could be even help with this problem!) "HOT SPOT LIST as of 6/5/18 PERMIT REQUESTS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: [...] ”Lwr Man – Lafayette Street btw Worth Street & Canal Street Tribeca – Hudson Street to WSHwy btw Chambers St & Harrison Street Tribeca – Duane Street btw Church Street & West Broadway South Street to East Broadway btw Catherine Slip/Street & Pike Slip/Street [...] ”CALL OFTB AT 212-489-6710 SEVEN BUSINESS DAYS IN ADVANCE BEFORE SUBMITTING PERMITS FOR: Manhattan [...] "South of Chambers Street btw Hudson River & East River [...]" I note that one of those Hot Spots starting in June is right at the photo you posted if permits starting in July; that shows how (un)seriously the City takes this issue of not letting filming disturb residents. — James on Seen & Heard: Dead Rabbit Reopening Date

Mega trypophobia trigger! — Yuck on Tribeca Park’s New Sculpture

Happy the space will be occupied but I already think of this neighborhood as the"Mani-pedi capitol of the world". At least there isn't going to be another Starbucks ... yet. — Steve on Three New Tenants on Church Street

Would that the city would consistently enforce the law against the illicit postings. Parts of the city are just plastered with layers of such ads, mostly for "man with van" and other such "moving companies". Then there are the countless stickers, of bands, brands, or containing illegible scrawls, which are even harder to remove and clean....We have more than enough advertising in this city. (For the record, I'm also all for limiting legal advertising as well, and removing all billboards and oversize ads and signs from the city). — Marcus on In the News: Statue of Liberty Evacuation

This looks like a massive ball of yarn, which of course will function as a cat magnet. Soon our streets will be overrun by cats. Well, no more rats then at least! — Marcus on Tribeca Park’s New Sculpture

The shoots don't bother me as long as the crews are polite and considerate. Sometimes I even enjoy watching the shoot in action. (They seem to shoot almost every week on our block). — Marcus on Seen & Heard: ICE in Tribeca

Revised agendas just came out and it's on for July. — Erik Torkells on Spring Studios Wants to Expand Its Rooftop Usage

How many more shoots in this area before the embargo kicks in? The first 6 months of 2018 have seen numerous permits issued here. — James on Seen & Heard: ICE in Tribeca

Another option for 261 Broadway could be DSW. Their Battery Park City Store is closed. — A. on Seen & Heard: ICE in Tribeca

Side view of 508 Canal Street. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca…?

That's white privilege at it's finest. Has Dan the Guitar Man ever been arrested? — Duane Street on In the News: Statue of Liberty Evacuation

Because she was also in trouble with the law in connection with personal training? https://nypost.com/2011/08/01/4500-slap-for-hire-fliers/ "The Department of Sanitation slapped an astounding 60 violations on a Staten Island certified personal trainer for illegally posting ads for her services on Manhattan utility poles. "Patricia Okoumou, 37, spent five hours one Sunday in April posting the fliers. ”Then, on July 21, she received a package from Sanitation containing the tickets worth a total of $4,500 in fines. “'This is ridiculous. How can I pay this?' Okoumou said. "Such postings are illegal, and Sanitation can ticket for each individual violation." — James on In the News: Statue of Liberty Evacuation

What does that have to do with her protest? — Duane Street on In the News: Statue of Liberty Evacuation

So, the woman who scaled the Statue of Liberty was a personal trainer at Asphalt Green in Battery Park. When I joined last Spring, I signed up for a personal trainer and Therese was matched to me. I found her to have a very aggressive personality- so much so that I requested a different trainer shortly after meeting her. — Kathy on In the News: Statue of Liberty Evacuation

The Staple St. Skybridge is in need of repair. I got a good look at it from a roof deck nearby. — Huck's Mom on Wish List: 12 Buildings in Tribeca

At the risk of overcrowding them when they open, I wholeheartedly agree with Simon. Los Tacos No.1 is dollar for dollar one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. Absolutely fantastic. It's not a sit-down place or a place to share a meal with a companion or a group. It's stand-up-and-eat-and-be-on-your-way type of dining more like an indoor taco truck. I did try their second location in Time Square, and, while good, it was not quite at the level of execution as the Chelsea Mkt. original—let's hope this one is. I was hoping their next location would be downtown, and here they come! — Arthur on Mexican Chain to Open Here

It's the old tapas place on Greenwich. — CHRIS FINCH on Seen & Heard: Il Mulino Looks Close to Opening

where is Il Mulino's Tribeca outpost going to be? couldn't tell from the photo alone. thanks! — Diane Cimine on Seen & Heard: Il Mulino Looks Close to Opening

July 18 is a Wednesday? — Randy on Seen & Heard: Zaitzeff Has Closed
