  • Hi Robert, just looking through the 22 photo slide, great work, I Love 4 in particular, the dome with illusion coming in, the jester Character with the whirl of colors, the black and white dancing images, and the goats with the lighting in the background, it's me the cashier, tribeca hardware — Kristaria on Artist Rob Mango on Tribeca’s Pioneer Days

  • Danny Lyons' photographs constitute a valuable archive to say the very least. To place the photo and stand yourself on that corner gave me pause, especially the corners that don't actually exist anymore. It's interesting to realize that these streets went through a cycle of vibrancy, then dereliction, demolition and or restoration and re-building on their way to the current state. It's an important reminder that nothing ever stays the same. — Andrea on In the News: “The Destruction of Lower Manhattan”

  • Re: Harold's meat & three... Given what you say about "being on the ropes" am not understanding why they don't allow pick up/take out (i.e. not delivery) - would certainly help move the needle quite a bit in our neighborhood. Really strange as they used to do this when they first opened but stopped doing this after just a few months... — Rohin on In the News: “The Destruction of Lower Manhattan”

  • Also, I believe the exterior shots of the L&O squad's police station have been shot at 31 Chambers for the past several years! — Lisa on Seen & Heard: Trader Joe’s Will Have 30 Checkout Lanes

  • 145 Hudson Street — James on Seen & Heard: Trader Joe’s Will Have 30 Checkout Lanes

  • They shoot in the area often because the PH for the lead character (sorry, don't watch) is in a building on Hudson. — juliew. on Seen & Heard: Trader Joe’s Will Have 30 Checkout Lanes

  • Usually L&O would give a house number so large, the address would be in the middle of the Hudson River, like "590 Reade Street." — James on Seen & Heard: Trader Joe’s Will Have 30 Checkout Lanes

  • This is offensive. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Trader Joe’s Will Have 30 Checkout Lanes

  • As long as those checkout lanes are manned (or womanned) by TJ standard staff, and not by those surly, unfriendly, judgmental, uneducated and with attitude and power trip who work for Duane Reade Rite Aid, Met Food,or C-town, shipped from the far reaches of the outer boroughs, in the name of diversity and equal opportunity employment,, then it's all good. As for "Bilions", much like SATC, it's a hyperreality and fantasy, but this one is aimed for those adults, mainly the Masters of Wall Street Universe, who enjoy the Marvel Cinematic Universe thinking they're still in pre-hormonal stage of their development, if they ever developed at all, see also Casey Neistat. — QU on Seen & Heard: Trader Joe’s Will Have 30 Checkout Lanes

  • I thought the mailboxes were jammed to prevent thieves from fishing out mail containing checks...They do it in the Bronx! — diannetalan on Seen & Heard: Why Mailboxes Are Often Jammed

  • Almost everyone nowadays acts as if she is a supermodel. Just look at the brunchers and the weekend and nighttime warriors walking around in their Miu Mius and Jimmy Choos and entourage in SoHo, Meatpacking District (MePa, ugh) and Tribeca, treating the sidewalks and streets as if they're their own personal catwalk and studios. Now turn to the right, sashay, sashay. sashay. Girl, you better work! — QU on In the News: Tribeca Design District Night

  • Ha! Every model is a super model now and every porn actress is a porn star! — TG on In the News: Tribeca Design District Night

  • Right you are JOR - I will not be giving Van Leeuwen any of my business because of this. — TG on Seen & Heard: Why Mailboxes Are Often Jammed

  • You know who still and mostly use cash? senior citizens and low-income folks. So basically Van Leeuwen is basically saying that Van Leeuwen does not want the business from those groups, thus discriminate against them. Another form of elitism from an elitist dessert store. — JOR on Seen & Heard: Why Mailboxes Are Often Jammed

  • Well amen to getting information about upcoming events on Pier 26. When they were preparing for the loud and seemingly endless event a few weeks ago, I ask about a dozen people at the site what they were setting up for and when it was going to take place. No one would tell me. — Megco on Seen & Heard: Why Mailboxes Are Often Jammed

  • Ugh all these sky high restaurants coming are great but really pisses me off at the missed opportunity to recreate Windows on the World at 1 WTC. Their excuse was poor and I hope down the line some developer can make that happen. THAT would be a place to eat again. — Anthony on In the News: Still No Permit for GM’s Self-Driving Cars

  • I thought we already have thousands of self-driving cars in Manhattan. After all, they must be driving themselves, since all the "drivers" inside are texting, Instagramming, applying make-up, and eating sandwiches. — Marcus on In the News: Still No Permit for GM’s Self-Driving Cars

  • I hate that sign. — Jim Smithers on Where in Tribeca…?

  • I think this is probably one of the nicest signs in the whole of Tribeca displayed on a front window! — Sonia F Stock on Where in Tribeca…?

  • Hi Paul, I hope you get this. Fascinating to see you are opening a gym in Tribeca where I lived for over 10 years and taught adult gymnastics in a studio on Worth Street where the Musawwir Gymnastic Dance Company lived and practiced. Good luck and stay in touch please. Best wishes, Toby — Toby Towson on Elite Gymnast Opening a Studio Here

  • This week, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Nancy Bannon authorized a city sheriff to “take all necessary steps . . . to effect the removal and ejection of Eileen Hickey . . . from said premises at 460 Greenwich St.” Hickey, a downtown-gallery fixture, has until June 9 to get out. “To have no place to go at age 72 is quite horrible,” she said. https://nypost.com/2018/05/10/famed-artist-booted-from-tribeca-loft-fined-185k-for-renting-pad-on-airbnb/ — James on In the News: The Buyer of the $30 Million Penthouse at 250 West
