HI Erik, is this floor at the Gee Whiz Diner at 285 Greenwich Street. I believe they have a black and white floor still there? with regards, Sonia Stock — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca..?

" There’s a meeting of the 1st Precinct Community Council tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Varick and Ericsson. Perhaps you can swing by and ask why the cops won’t get counterfeit-bag vendors off the streets" Wish I had known earlier…can't be there for this due to work commitment. Would someone who attends please raise this question? I would love to know what can finally be done about this ongoing problem. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Another Store Closed at the World Trade Center Mall

The tolls sound like a good idea. Actually ticketing drivers for horn-honking and blocking the intersections and cross-walks would also improve quality of life, safety, and traffic flow. — Marcus on In the News: Reducing Traffic Downtown

Ditto. Robert is the best Kudos to the restaurant — Hilary on Seen & Heard: Ladder 8 Lights

The tenant is not entitled to a fixture fee for the 40-year old "improvements" he made in the apartment he was found to be trespassing in (hence the dispossession by the Court). As a trespasser, the tenant can be found liable in Court to pay the landlord for the value the tenant got from not paying rents (maybe even at market rates) all those years. See Sakele Bros. v. Safdie, 302 AD 2d 20 - NY: Appellate Div., 1st Dept. 2002 - ("We note that the proper measure of the damages for trespass is the gain the trespasser has derived from its wrongful conduct (see De Camp v Bullard, 159 NY 450, 454-455). The reason for this rule is that requiring a plaintiff to prove actual injury to recover more than nominal damages for trespass 'would place a premium on trespassing' by 'mak[ing] the position of the trespasser more favorable than that of one lawfully contracting' (id. at 454).") With respect to tenant's alterations in the unit the tenant occupies lawfully, the Loft Law entitles a tenant to sell his fixtures on vacating to an incoming tenant, but he must offer them for sale to the Landlord first. It is not clear that the value he can collect is any more than the *depreciated* value of the improvements. His improvements from the 1970s are fully depreciated, given the long amount of time passed, and so the tenant is likely entitled to little for his legal improvements upon vacating. — James on In the News: Ten Years of Marc Forgione

I have been going to Peter’s White Plains location since I moved into the neighborhood four years ago. Him & his staff are extremely professional and provide amazing service. I won’t go anywhere else to get my haircut. I’m happy that Peter is able to expand and achieve the “American Dream” - something that our country was founded on. Gentlemans Barber Spa will be an amazing addition to the culture of Tribeca. — Tim H. on Tribeca Is Getting Another Barbershop

TriBeCa landlords were all for their completely ignored tenants fend for themselves for decades and now they want to kick them out...the article doesn't suggest the family usurped any other space and essentially made the building livable. The landlord should pay the tenant a million dollars worth of thanks for keeping his investment afloat. Many owners just abandoned their buildings in the 70's. — TG on In the News: Ten Years of Marc Forgione

Agree with Arthur. With the exception of some aggressive negative reviews before they even opened, I am not sure what they have done so bad. And the constant evil eye out for every one of their mailings is a bit hysterical. I remember when the developers who bought the old Teddy's or El Teddy's space said they were going to house their financial business and family in the new building - you just knew they were lying but they don't seem to be much of a problem though I do miss the Teddy's whimsical building. Give Town Stages a little bit of breathing room for god sake. They deserve no less chance than any other business. — TG on Seen & Heard: The Lies of Town Stages

I think Robert Moses already destroyed the area north of the Manhattan Bridge in the 1960's by flattening entire neighborhoods of 18th and 19th century buildings, and I suspect we can all admit at this point that some high-rise development there is overdue, and in general, some tasteful modern architecture (i.e., not bad 1960's "projects") would be a plus. The question is whether the new construction is done in a sensitive, tasteful way...and so far, that's not been the case at all. The one tower they've put up is much too close to the bridge and sticks out like a sore thumb. — Will Meyerhofer on In the News: Ten Years of Marc Forgione

1 White Street has enough graffiti now to satisfy anyone's nostalgia. — James on Tribeca Then and Now: Upper Greenwich Street

The Town Stages would never be able to survive as just a cultural center. as long as its well managed an event space can have a beneficial presence in the community. rents are out of control, and empty storefronts are everywhere we should embrace the effort and support town stages. — arthur karpati on Seen & Heard: The Lies of Town Stages

Noticed the decline in graffiti as well! Less artists more bankers? ;) — Rohin on Tribeca Then and Now: Upper Greenwich Street

Bravo to Da Claudio! May others follow! — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Ladder 8 Lights

Wow, looks so beautiful!! I wish they would have opted for a less established restaurateur though...just for a chance and a change. But looks just wonderful! — TG on Field Trip: Domino Park
