I agree. Maybe I'm a pushover, but to be able to amble around a TJ store as I please is a piece of heaven on earth. The stock seemed shy a few things I'd seen in other stores, and a manager told me they were taking small steps during the opening months. I found it nearly impossible to formulate a profile of the customers I saw there. The Chelsea and 14th street crowds show some sort of loose commonality, but I couldn't make head or tail of this group. One nice thing was that there was a man who required a large, motorized wheelchair to get about, and I'm guessing this store gave him his first opportunity to experience the chain in NYC. — David G. Imber on Seen & Heard: Slow Start for Trader Joe’s

I was one of those people questioning the foot traffic. The location just doesn't seem like an area where a ton of people will be seeking out groceries. But lucky for those of us who are! — David on Seen & Heard: Slow Start for Trader Joe’s

TJ's in SoHo; Bliss! — neighbor on Seen & Heard: Slow Start for Trader Joe’s

They are closing June 4th. Thanks for the explanation, Erik, as the response to me was unclear rather, was a mumbled reference to construction from the building next door. — neighbor on Tent & Trails Will Close Temporarily

It is a little hard to follow, but let me try to explain how I see the pricing. The first protein is included in the base price. If you want to add an additional protein (2 total) it will be an extra $2.50. If you want to add a third protein, you will pay an additional $2.50. So each additional protein is $2.50, but the initial one is included in the price. — Ellen2 on Fast-Casual Vietnamese Restaurant Opening Here

James, Interesting! Thank you for that. Was not aware of such a law, but it makes sense in general. (Although the initial tiny triangle of TriBeCa might have been considered a sort of artist colony rather than a geographic region per se? ) — Marcus on The Tribeca® Brand (Part 11)

Their pricing math is all wrong! 2 proteins for $2.50 but 3 for $5.00??? You end up paying more per protein if you get 3. This alone turns me off. Pho base without proteins for $12...and this place isn't a nice sit down place like Viet Cafe. Not feeling it. — tribma on Fast-Casual Vietnamese Restaurant Opening Here

And the downtown delivery fee of just $6.95 makes it possible to stock up and get the items delivered later in the day. — Steve on Seen & Heard: Slow Start for Trader Joe’s

I couldn't agree more. I love that there's a secret Trader Joe's downtown! — HH on Seen & Heard: Slow Start for Trader Joe’s

Looks yummy! Will give it a try this week. — TG on Fast-Casual Vietnamese Restaurant Opening Here

sssh, we do not speak of the SoHo Trader Joe's... let the masses go to Union Sq and Chelsea. It's freakin' paradise down here. — alee on Seen & Heard: Slow Start for Trader Joe’s

the movie set fit in perfectly with a look that you thought belonged there. — perryo on When Hollywood Built a Fake Diner in Tribeca

The older 19th century buildings had classic design look. — Perry Rothenberg on When Hollywood Built a Fake Diner in Tribeca

Apparently the working title (and the basis of many translated titles overseas) was "Cop Gives Waitress $2 Million Tip!"

Yeah, Pfffft! What don't you understand? — Jim Smithers on Where in Tribeca…?

I remember that! I remember asking someone on set what the movie was called and he said, "Cop and a Waitress." Kind of wish they'd gone with that. — Gardiner on When Hollywood Built a Fake Diner in Tribeca

The U.S. Supreme Court wrote in Canal Company v. Clark, 80 U.S. 13 Wall. 311 311 (1871) "And it is obvious that the same reasons which forbid the exclusive appropriation of generic names or of those merely descriptive of the article manufactured and which can be employed with truth by other manufacturers, apply with equal force to the appropriation of geographical names, designating districts of country.

Realize this is an insanely old thread but wondering if anyone had any luck? I got an email reply for her in August 2015 but similar situation to above and never actually got any updates. — Christina on Euphoria Spa Is Moving

These of course beg the question: What do they have to do with Tribeca? "We" should have trademarked the name long ago. Well, actually, the artists who came up with the name should have done so... — Marcus on The Tribeca® Brand (Part 11)

Our family "LOL Tribeca" retail moment this spring came when I searched Target.com for sleepaway camp sheets and the Tribeca sheet set popped up. The "Green/Red" color option presumably evokes the very, very early days of Tribeca. https://www.target.com/p/tribeca-living-printed-cotton-flannel-extra-deep-pocket-sheet-set/-/A-53144917?preselect=53118575#lnk=sametab — Uptown Triburbia on The Tribeca® Brand (Part 11)
