Hi Erik, this is located at the Park Fast parking lot entrance located at corner of Worth Street and West Broadway, regards, Sonia — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca…?

There was a little Japanese comfort food place near (at?) 112 Hudson too - I can’t remember the name, but I remember their bitter melon and grilled okra with lime. Anyone remember that place? — citypixie on Seen & Heard: Work Has Started at Gitano

It was glorious! Except they’re not going to serve coffee in this one. :( — Rosanna on First Impressions: Trader Joe’s

I believe it about Frenchette having a line of people prior to opening. (I don't recall this in the neighborhood since Nobu moved) My husband and I tried to go early recently and were dumbfounded by the line prior to opening. By the time everyone snaked inside; every seat at the ample sized bar was taken. I had the impression that almost all of the people were out-of-towners. — juliew. on In the News: Mother and Son Jump to Their Deaths

TJs and his two-buck chuck got me through college, and their cheap and relatively healthy frozen meals got me through law school, so I'll always have some brand loyalty. Maybe the aisles are as big as the ones in the suburbs, but I've shopped at many TJ's and never seen aisles that big! So much open space. Assuming it's as packed as some of the other ones, that'll be really helpful. However, I'm wondering just what the foot traffic will be there. There's not actually all that much residential property right near it, and I can't see someone closer to Christopher Street trekking all the way down, nor someone south of Laight or so trekking up. And I feel like Sixth Avenue somehow makes it *feel* far from Soho. OTOH, I imagine their takeaway prepared meals will be a big hit for the lunch crowds in the office buildings nearby. — David on First Impressions: Trader Joe’s

I, for one, am thrilled. I never have to go to Whole Foods again. — Megco on First Impressions: Trader Joe’s

I joke with people when asked if I watched Billions and I say, "no, I live in TriBeCa." It always gets a laugh...I wish all the filming would stay at Silver Cup or the Navy Yards... — TG on Seen & Heard: Dueling Family Events This Sunday

WOW QU - that is quite a lousy attitude concerning the human race! I find most retail staff to be very nice - gee, maybe it's you. You want to keep your thoughts to yourself. — TG on Seen & Heard: Trader Joe’s Will Have 30 Checkout Lanes

I was walking down Canal just last weekend and the sidewalks were unpassable because of the vendors hawking fake bags and the tourists buying them. I was compelled to call 311, which will have zero effect but did make my rage subside just a little. — Donna on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Please keep us updated. — Erik Torkells on Showdown at the Warren Street Dog Park

Must all of NYC be upscale and "luxurious"? Canal Street is already a vibrant place for everyone -- tourists, riches,and esp to the middle -and working class, riffraffs, and the immigrants (esp. Chinese). Does NYC need to be blandified and whitiefied so that it would be like another Midwestern town or suburbs. Why move to NYC only to turn the city into one's image of whiteness, conformity and sterilization. Just another excuse for the Real Estate developers claiming Canal St. to be downtrodden and needs improvement so that they can turn it to please the riches and others where they can hide and launder their dirty money. Improvement for whom exactly: -- Improvement for Bloomberg's godsend billionaires.. — JOR on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Looks good...And glad to see that sign about the donation policy. — Marcus on First Impressions: Trader Joe’s

If the city would only enforce laws against gratuitous horn-honking, I bet that average longevity of New Yorkers would increase. — Marcus on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

And now it’s locked. Did someone forget to unlock it today or is something else going on? I’m waiting on a call back from the Parks Department to find out. — Steven on Showdown at the Warren Street Dog Park

I likely have a more acute perspective on this than most - I lived on Canal for 5 years (in a UAL building that had *not* been renovated!) and lived on Broome for a number of years before that. I'll tell you that in my opinion the foot traffic and street vendor issues are by far larger than the car traffic problem in terms of local business. Broome has almost as much tunnel traffic, actually, and is almost as wide - the problem with Canal is that the sidewalks are routinely unwalkable between the street vendors and, particularly on the east side, the Chinatown crowds. Broome has wider less crowded sidewalks and the SoHo portion of it is lined on both sides with high end stores. The northern part of Hudson in Tribeca is I think also unambiguously much more "upscale" than Canal (though it does have fewer restaurants / less retail than Broome), despite its own tunnel traffic issue. — mg on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Excellent article! I am hopeful about all these changes as improvements to the current wasteland of Canal Street. Agreed, first priority should be to get rid of the shady vendors, and alleviate the traffic problems. Presumably commercial tenants would be far more interested in the area if those issues were dealt with. For example, the "forlorn" beauty of the bank building at 415 Broadway might actually find a tenant! — Marcus on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Glad to see more galleries in the neighborhood! — Marcus on New Kid on the Block: Twenty First Gallery

Really good post — Edward on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Limes and mint? Sounds like they're still recuperating from the mojito explosion during cinco de mayo. — lowphat121 on In the News: Whole Foods Discounts for Amazon Prime Members

I'd like to know who comes up with the clever riddles on the board outside the store. Great puns! — jane freeman on Spotlight: Torly Kid

well done Erik! — Torly Kid on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Maybe that outfit is a costume from Fiddler on the Roof? — James on In the News: Whole Foods Discounts for Amazon Prime Members

definitely they should give back but they are selfish. One of my favorite shows! — NATIVE on Seen & Heard: Dueling Family Events This Sunday
