Thank you! Amazing to see what has changed and what has stayed the same. — Connie on Tribeca Then & Now: Part 1

Always love these comparisons...both a sign of progress and sometimes a reminder of questionable decision making. Regardless, an important connection to our past. — John on Tribeca Then & Now: Part 1

great work! thanks! — madeline c lanciani on Tribeca Then & Now: Part 1

Kaufman's signature zig-zag. What a hack. Even his website has malware. — mruptight on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

"If you haven’t noticed that local salad chain Sweetgreen doesn’t accept cash, it may be because you’re part of the 68% of the United States population that has a bank account (and access to a debit card) or among the more than 159 million who have a credit card." https://ggwash.org/view/64236/going-cashless-may-hurt-low-income-families-the-most — mruptight on Another Restaurant No Longer Accepts Cash

The design of the building looks somewhat like 56 Leonard Street — Alex on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

How is this even legal? Is this zone not landmarked? All my neighbors hate the jenga buildings enormity but we at least hoped it would not happen again. — Heide Fasnacht on First Look at the 42-Story Building Planned for Broadway

Ahh yes the great Gowanus salmon run- missed it this season. — Dorothy on A Poke Restaurant Is Opening on Greenwich

Livid. Ate here weekly. Best tribeca burger. Pls return.... — Gregg on Landmarc Has Closed

i don't see how the homeless situation is the mayor's fault. i think the core of the problem is the economy. — safe as milk on In the News: Summer Streets Kicks Off This Saturday

My understanding is that a lot of the fish is indeed local - nearby Hudson and East Rivers. Also, the tuna is usually caught off the southern tip of Staten Island, while the salmon is more native to the Gowanus. These places are very conscientious about supporting locally bred seafood. — Scott on A Poke Restaurant Is Opening on Greenwich

I would like to know where all these places get their fish? Is it fresh and local or........? — Nicole on A Poke Restaurant Is Opening on Greenwich

Ice cream @ 224 Front? Are you sure it's not Front 242? (Sorry; industrial music joke) — Marcus on Seen & Heard: VCafé Has Reopened

the news said this is the worst in homeless ever in history with this administration. I agree! — NATIVE NEW YORKERS on In the News: Summer Streets Kicks Off This Saturday

to get something done about it would be terrific. I take the chambers train in the morning and know all to well exactly what your talking about. I live on Greenwich Street you have to see the seen on the block near the park where kids play. Its a disgrace. No one is doing anything about it. To have it discussed at the next community board meeting would be a good idea. its only getting worst. — NATIVE NEW YORKERS on In the News: Summer Streets Kicks Off This Saturday

YAY, great name and a great addition to the hood — Akay on Introducing Frenchette

I agree with riding DiBlasio... At the end of the day its so upsetting to have so many homeless people (mostly with mental illness) setting shop in Tribeca. I always assumed it's because of the Bowery Mission on Lafayette, but NOW so many are coming within the streets we walk. Scary moments, are early mornings when they are all out. The other day I saw one taking a crap behind a car, and it splatter all over the front bumper of another car. This has got to stop. Can this be an agenda for the next community board meeting? — Sandra on In the News: Summer Streets Kicks Off This Saturday

in response to Sandra another long time resident, we need to get rid of our mayor one of the worst I seen since Dinkins. He either closed homeless shelters or something. I have never seen it so bad either. the worst ever of homeless population in our city. And this guy is going to get reelected? I rather vote for anyone else but him. our cops don't even patrol our area either. and the rents keep getting higher and higher and our landlords keep getting richer. What ashamed what our city has become. Back to the 70s we go! — NATIVE NEW YORKERS on In the News: Summer Streets Kicks Off This Saturday

The Civil Service Bookshop formerly in Tribeca for over 60 years, was forced to relocate to the West Village due to construction hazards surrounding the store from adjacent properties. Now the book shop is sharing a store at 34 Carmine Street, N.Y. — A. Bergenfeld on First Look: Pier 26

These are great. I love paying attention to such details… It's easy to become jaded, take it for granted, and become blind to this richness. I think it's important to just sometimes (often? all the time?) feel like a traveler /visitor in your own city and appreciate all of its details. There is beauty to be found everywhere, if you just look for it. — Marcus on Close-Up: Worth Street

Well, there should be substantial construction applications on file with the Department of Buildings well in advance of a supermarket build-out. Here apparently the only job relevant to the store is the alteration of the storefront (Job No: 122241225), apparently to comply with certain requirements of the MTA with respect to the nearby subway line. — James on Seen & Heard: DanceBody Appears to Be Off

From Landmarks COFA 16-8338 for 1 WHITE STREET (ISSUE DATE: 02/26/15): "The proposed work as approved, consists of [...] alterations at the first floor, including at the corner storefront on the West Broadway façade, constructing one new assembly of five café style single lite metal doors with raised panel base, all in a black baked on enamel finish; and finishing the existing concrete storefront piers and curb, and signband in a black painted finish; at the eastern most storefront opening on the White Street facade, replacing the existing nonhistoric storefront infill with one new single-lite metal and glass door and two full height single-lite metal display windows; replacing one existing non-historic single-lite wood window, transom, and bulkhead with one new single-lite metal and glass door with raised panel base; and replacing one existing non-historic wood door, transom, and sidelite with one new single-lite metal and glass display window and raised paneled base [...] and constructing one new accessible ramp in black painted steel diamond plate with associated pipe metal railing. [...] "With regard to this proposal, the Commission found [...] that because the existing storefront infill and window openings at the building are not historic, their removal will not result in any damage to significant architectural features of the building; that the configuration and proportions of the proposed storefronts featuring operable café style single light aluminum and glass doors with paneled aluminum base in a black finish, will recall the configuration and proportions of historic storefronts found within the historic district; that the proposed full height aluminum and glass display windows and door at the eastern most storefront opening on White Street will harmonize with the existing fenestration at the upper floors[.]" http://archive.citylaw.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/33/lpc/3-20-15/167127.pdf — James on Seen & Heard: DanceBody Appears to Be Off

Trader Joe's could be waiting for the stuff it ordered to construct and design before starting activity. How can activity and construction be possible when a company doesn't have the items needed to construct something onsite yet? — Alex on Seen & Heard: DanceBody Appears to Be Off
