Where's the *SMITHERS WINS AGAIN!* on the main page?! No time to get sloppy! I have an image to maintain on these Amagansett weekends! Did I just walk by Alec Baldwin? Or was it Billy Baldwin? Oh gosh, who gives a shit! Am I right, people?! — Jim Smithers on Where in Tribeca…?

Dearest Janet, Lowphat's defense of your statement is poor at best. 1) Chinese people are not precluded from being excellent chefs of other cuisines. To assume they all are is both unfair and a micro-aggression. But you don't seem to see that do you? 2) You didn't say there are enough "mediocre" Japanese restaurants. You wrote that there are enough. 3) Assuming that you meant "mediocre" why would you assume, and indeed it is a big fat assumption, that Ichidan is going to mediocre? Your prejudgment is an indication of bias. 4) To say there are enough of one entire group of anything is patently offensive. I am not an overly sensitive person but think you need to look a little harder at how what you wrote might be interpreted. Your vast travel experience "knowing" all sorts of Asians does not justify your words. I know lots of ___ people does not give anyone the right to speak derogatorily about those people. 5) If you don't like the current Japanese restaurants around here, don't eat at them. But to complain that another new option is coming to this neighborhood because you don't like the existing ones is some seriously flawed logic. Peace Out. — ??? on Another Japanese Restaurant on Leonard?

Alejandro Ferrari you gave me a check on the amount of 406.00 with out funds now the check bounce and you don't answer my phone calls. I will like you paid me back the $406.00 plus $35.00 for bounce check. I don't know your financial situation but is unfair what are you doing to me. Please answer my calls and settled this in a good cause. Att Locksmith guy. — Juan on Canali Club Has Closed

Overpriced industrial/farm chic? Sounds about right. — JD on A Piece of Tribeca® (Part 9)

Post Office on Church next to World Trade Center complex? — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca…?

I'm afraid Southpaw's appraisal is on target. I've lived next door to that building most of my life. The "bro" situation I can live with, I suppose. I like people to have fun and it's never really gotten under my skin. The "graffiti gallery" phase, with its numerous parties that spilled out into the street was an interesting one. The guests were of the sort often euphemistically described as "colorful". They were street artists, and grace and propriety were not their strong points. But they seemed to me by no means malignant or ill-intentioned. And I'm accustomed to pot smoke so I didn't care much about that either. I realize I'm more tolerant than many others in this neighborhood in that regard. If there was serious drinking and noise-making, and if my apartment had windows that faced out on it, I might feel differently. But the darkest indication of mismanagement wasn't mentioned. For about a year the storefront served as a clearing center for the "black plastic bag" people of Canal Street. They'd make their sales up there and send customers down to 69 Leonard which, for that period, had blacked-out windows. Police were called numerous times, but the miscreants seemed to know how to elude them. It hardly goes lower than to watch folks in pastels be led by brawny guys with eyes shifting side-to-side on the lookout for cops into a blacked-out chamber at all hours of the day and night for months on end. It's truly depressing and the management had to have known about it. Regarding Janet's comment, most of my living family is Japanese and she said nothing that was offensive in the least. She was correct. — David G. Imber on Another Japanese Restaurant on Leonard?

I just want to know where we can get some "...proprietary Tribeca sauce.” — Robert Ripps on A Piece of Tribeca® (Part 9)

Dear???? I knew there would be someone out there like you who would just like to argue and throw out nasty words -- maybe just because you are having a bad day. Nevertheless--although I shouldn't dignify your words with a response---I have lived off and on in Asia for years and enjoy and respect the various cultures there immensely. I was simply stating we have more than enough Japanese restaurants. Thank you, Lowphat. — Janet on Another Japanese Restaurant on Leonard?

me too, LOL! — Yael on Seen & Heard: Pure Barre Opens Tomorrow

..there goes the neighborhood.. :) — jim on A Piece of Tribeca® (Part 9)

re the serafina page. I read that as.. just two blocks away from the New World. Stop. Financial Center. Stop. — lowphat on Seen & Heard: Pure Barre Opens Tomorrow

I don't think what she said is remotely offensive or ignorant. I agree with Janet that there are a lot of mediocre Japanese restaurants in the area and would like to see some more variety. Plus, the point you make about it being offensive to Japanese Americans actually proves your ignorance because the majority of the Japanese "restaurants" in the area are run by Chinese owners. — lowphat on Another Japanese Restaurant on Leonard?

I agree - went to a restaurant that had cheese in every single appetizer - that nice, fresh mozzarella that, if eaten, would make someone lactose intolerant sick before they left the restaurant. There is nothing wrong with keeping things simple and delicious, and making food that everyone can eat. Both Celiac and lactose intolerance are serious issues, and those of us who suffer REALLY suffer. — M Keegan on Seen & Heard: Kung Fu Tea Is Open

In a world obsessed with cheese, I wish businesses would realize how prevalent lactose intolerance is. Going out to dinner, or for treats, has become a real problem. Some places will provide substitutions but many won't. After an all cheese international flight, I learned that there is no Federal requirement for lactose free meals on flights. And you really, really, don't want airline Vegan food. What is especially frustrating is that lactose intolerance is real and common, while many people who avoid gluten believe they are intolerant, but are not Celiac (I can hear the outraged comments about intolerance now). Obviously, my comments apply to cream and milk. — A on Seen & Heard: Kung Fu Tea Is Open

I wish any local business well, but when I walked into Kung Fu Tea to ask if they had any substitutions for Milk ( being lactose intolerant) they said they just have Milk and Milk powder. I am dissapointed they can't accommodate to people who can't have dairy or who are also vegans, given that Tribeca seems to have a high concentration of those people. Anyhow, not too late to suggest an Almond milk or Coconut milk substitution?! Wondering if anyone else has the same issue with the amount of places in the area that cater to allergies, or intolerances, or lifestyles..... — Reade it on Seen & Heard: Kung Fu Tea Is Open
