Sorry Erik...my bad (lol)...Still, how the heck would the manager of Duane Reade know that? By the way, not only did they add the tribeca web page to their site, but "tribeca" is on their store locator list as well as on their main page showing as "coming soon" like their other newly purchased locations...also it shows the store hours and there is a link to apply for jobs...And that was all updated only four days ago... I suspect that manager's information is bs but we will see....If i hear back from my original contact from Best Market, i will e-mail you and let you know... — Craig on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

It was a manager at the Duane Reade, not the Food Emporium. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

By the way, I will try to confirm again with the VP of Best Market store operations if he will will reply to my e-mail i just sent him... I'll let you know if i find out anything...though it would seem odd that they would put up a tribeca store webpage just 4 days ago if the deal had "fallen through"... — Craig on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

This person who "heard" from the former food emporium store manager that the Best Market deal is off...how did he hear it? The store has been closed for over a week now...Is he a personal friend of the former manager? — Craig on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

So when is TriBeCa gonna have the first ever dogs only cafe? I think it'd be hilarious to see a place with 100 seats where half are occupied by dogs, all kinds of dogs sitting up on the chairs. "What would your dog like sir?" RUFF! RALF! "Oh the crabcake biscuit, right away!" LOL. LMAO if the place hires a bouncer and a guard dog to regulate dog behavior. — Doggy Treats on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

Can you bring your dog to Hudson Eats? I would be delighted if we could! No disgust here. — Liat on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

Also, I have a lovely small dog but am disgusted at seeing dogs in Hudson Eats on benches and being fed under the table multiple times. Security does not seem to have a problem with it after my friend and I pointed it out. Perhaps everyone should bring their dog to the food court. — anne on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

Is the noise from the stack as loud as the generator noise from the Feelings Museum? Could that structure be anymore intrusive onto public park space? — anne on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

Best Market has a page for a TriBeCa store on their website including reference to applying for positions there. But if that rumor is true that could be old information, it is at http://bestmarket.com/stores/tribeca/#.VmLrj3o8KrU . — JPL on Seen & Heard: Distressing Rumor About Best Market

Sorry. Erik. Spellchecker corrected. — TribecaMom on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race

Erin you were right not to read the entire tirade. That's 20 minutes I'm never going to get back. — TribecaMom on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race

I have a Mighty OJ squeezer that you may borrow. Freshest available and a workout too! — Andrea on Seen & Heard: Liquor Store Appears Doomed

Diluted with water and overpriced. Also illegal in that they don't label their bottles. — OJ Pimpson on Seen & Heard: Liquor Store Appears Doomed

Hey Jammy Sod, I merely responded to what Betsy wrote, and what she wrote was racist drivel. She called white people who live in TriBeCa white supremacists with her "White Power" nonsense. I neither have to read the rest of the article nor think Erik cherrypicked or looked for something to get her on, she summed up what she's about in what he merely posted. I'm guessing what he posted was what grabbed him the most and good job by you, Erik. He captured what your friend is: a reverse racist who paints all white people with one brush. It's your friend Betsy who devolved discussion calling people racists. I'm white, I don't believe in White Power, ok? Or did you not see what I wrote at the end of my reply? Yep. — L on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race

Any chance Brookti could be adopted by someone else less needy and more balanced? — Jim Smithers on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race

The pile driving is another reason in favor of landmarking. Those pile drivers produce vibrations in excess of special limits that control in landmark districts. — James on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race

Brookti is one of the few black children growing up in tribeca. Betsy raises a lot of good points. I'm a little dissapointed that you disagree with seemingly so much. FTR, I know them both. — jammy sod on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race

Re the question about the P.O.W/M.I.A flag: Yes, you're missing something: history, context, respect. — Doc on Nosy Neighbor: Why Is the Duane Park Flag Almost Always at Half-Staff?

I read enough to know that I was going to disagree with much more than that paragraph. — Erik Torkells on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race

It's a shame, Erik, that you only skimmed and then only highlighted a small rant (out of a much larger examination about race and identity) about real estate in Betsy's post because, as L showed, a lot of good points that could have led to a meaningful discussion about race and the changing face of tribeca has already devolved. — Jammy sod on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race

I just walked through Whole Foods and they have a juice bar in the back by where the coffee is. — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Liquor Store Appears Doomed

Awwww poor baby Betsy! Life really sucks when you're living in a cheap loft rental. Relics? We're not "relics" - try just people who have lived here for decades, that's all. We're still alive, working, living, contributing, like I guess you are, so spare us your ageist condescension especially when you could be considered a "relic" yourself. What makes her annoying is she sounds like a market rate loft renter/seller sneering at people who don't pay market rent with her "obscenely cheap tenement lofts" remark like it's a bad thing/crime to live in one and have that rent when it's not, and yet she has the same rent herself. Cheap rent actually allows you to build savings for the future, emergencies, calamities, and retirement as well as have more money to play with which means more money to spend on local/area businesses. Also she comes off like she's above everyone else. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out (if you decide to move) and I could care less if your kid is adopted and/or Ethopian. People Power! — L on In the News: A Tribeca Mom Discusses Race
