Another horribly designed building in FiDi. Too bad that area around City Hall is not landmarked. FiDi is a real mess. — Randi on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

Thanks! — Huck's mom on Tribeca Then & Now: Part 1

HAHAHAHAHA Hello Gym..... I just realized that it was 11:32pm when you were conducting your Name Spell Check.....How sad!!!!! — Ruben on Seen & Heard: Walk-Up Windows

commenting from a window facing directly north from Warren / Broadway: this will be a real eyesore! I'll bet the owner of the large windowed unit (the one featured here http://www.stevenharrisarchitects.com/projects/TriBeCa-Penthouse) has a few things to say about this construction. — Broadwayer on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

BRING IT BACK. — Dave on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years

I know a cop who was hired during that NYPD hiring spree - he had to report to be sworn in before midnight of that particular day so they could get the funding. He had to drop everything he was doing and get himself to the academy. They called it "the midnight mugging" of NYC. — Maryann on In the News: Summer Streets Kicks Off This Saturday

Thanks for the update on the Civil Service Bookstore. I am happy they are open in some form - they were unique! — Maryann on Seen & Heard: VCafé Has Reopened

It's EriK! ERIK! Not Eric! For F@ck sake, Rubin! — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Walk-Up Windows

Thank you Eric........That makes sense, I was hoping it was something else.....but it is different. — Ruben on Seen & Heard: Walk-Up Windows

Re: 91 Leonard - That is really good new. Skidmore does great work - rest assured you will not get some malproportioned phallic glass monstrosity here. — Rohin on In the News: Police Pursue Assault Perp

Oh how people love to dump on Dinkins! He was a public relations nightmare to be sure but he is responsible for two very big funding decisions made during his term that have always been given credit to the mad Guiliani. Dinkins went on a massive hiring spree with NYPD and pushed through the funding for the greening of all the parks and roadways. Guiliani put a hiring freeze on for teachers and police offers and relied on generous Clinton $ from Washington. Bloomberg, everyone's favorite billionaire, did not negotiate with the teachers' union nor the Department of Corrections and he held office for three terms. Homelessness stems from many different corners of our society and happen to people for many different reasons. To be blaming one mayor who isn't even through his first term is a cop-out. Perhaps they stopped busing the homeless upstate for the night and then busing them back down during the day like they did with Bloomberg? Perhaps we need to see those who are suffering so we can be aware of our need to vote consciously and not just selfishly. — TG on In the News: Summer Streets Kicks Off This Saturday

8 Warren and 10 Warren, I'd wager. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Walk-Up Windows

Hello all, Just above the Fountain Pen Hospital there are two numbers, 10 & 8. They are wrapped in a concrete frame that resembles the highway interstate signage. Does any one know what they stand for? Many thanks. — Ruben on Seen & Heard: Walk-Up Windows

I agree with Becky. Thy also have a great music list and Grandma pizza. It's like new. Renovations? I feel a sense of foreboding. One of my favorite little places. ? — Janet on Seen & Heard: Walk-Up Windows

Better yet, see this page (posted a week before YIMBY): https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2016/09/12/first-look-one-beekman/ — Erik Torkells on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

Totally inappropriate design given its neighboring buildings. At least it doesn't cantilever like 56 Leonard (which makes even those of us without OCD want to jog the upper floors back into place!). This building should be an interesting companion to 1 Beekman Street, rising just across the park. The designs may complement each other (see this page: http://newyorkyimby.com/2016/09/rogers-stirk-harbour-partners-design-for-1-beekman-revealed-financial-district.html). — GBD10007 on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

I really hope Bar Cyrk does reopen. I love the pizza and the ambiance..but it *is always deserted when I'm there. — Becky on Seen & Heard: Walk-Up Windows

No, not landmarked. — Makes You Go Hmmm... on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

The "draped gardens" give the building the appearance of what you see in movies about a post-apocalyptic city. — PeterD on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

At least weekly I see these people getting into altercations with the private Goldman security, often when the NYPD officers are standing around there as well. There needs to be some more action by law enforcement; the situation is NOT getting better and this article has been around for months. — Anonymous on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City

I think looks like a hobbit hotel. — Janet on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

The "kids will be kids" mentality is one of the biggest problems with how we handle minors in this country. I'm a teenager, however I have never harassed anyone anywhere for any reason, nor do I have any inherent right or excuse to because of my minor status. I don't try to steal tip jars. I don't spit at random couples and Goldman bankers. I don't throw broken glass into fields where young children play on a daily basis. When people write off this petty criminality as "kids being kids", you're enabling patterns of illegality and lawlessness which should not be treated as the norm. If that's how you behaved as a kid, you should've gone to prison instead of college. And maybe still be there. And to those arguing for a community space for these thugs, that is absurd. This is BPC, it's absolutely flushed with community spaces. And what the hell are they going to do in this private space you have imagined? Drink booze? Smoke weed? These people have absolutely no boundaries because of the toxic "kids will be kids" excuse which enables them to continue this disgusting behavior. These types ghe best "psychologist" for these people is a nightstick. Another crucial problem is these kids' parents. They probably live in their offices to avoid these menaces instead of forcing them to behave like actual human beings. There's an awful lot of banker-types who don't seem to parent their children all that much in BPC and Tribeca. — Anonymous on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City

Of course you're correct. People desire a big, easy target. — David G. Imber on In the News: Summer Streets Kicks Off This Saturday
