Walked my dog by the parklet many times a day as we live on the block. It was so lovely to see people having coffee and engaged in conversation - a great addition to the block and the neighborhood. Why are people so negative? — Alexandra N. on Seen & Heard: Zara Is Open

While I like Laughing Man coffee, I do not like their ugly and unsanitary 'parklet.' How much dog pee is on that hideous, ragged AstroTurf? Ew! — Janet on Laughing Man

I liked the benches outside Laughing man I thought they were a nice feature in an otherwise crowded and car-dominated city. Bring them back next year. — Bob on Seen & Heard: Zara Is Open

I was thinking hot eggs, but you win! I'll add it! — Erik Torkells on Nosy Neighbor: Where Can I Get Breakfast in Tribeca?

I had the most amazing Avocado Egg Salad Toast for breakfast yesterday. — TribecaMom on Nosy Neighbor: Where Can I Get Breakfast in Tribeca?

Actually, that reminds me: Mulberry & Vine stopped serving breakfast so I need to remove it from this list. — Erik Torkells on Nosy Neighbor: Where Can I Get Breakfast in Tribeca?

Mulberry & Vine Locanda Verde Tiny's — lispenard resident on Nosy Neighbor: Where Can I Get Breakfast in Tribeca?

I didn't include it because you can't get eggs during the week. — Erik Torkells on Nosy Neighbor: Where Can I Get Breakfast in Tribeca?

Completely agree. It's loud, dangerous, and the tour bus operators are pushy and obnoxious and block the sidewalk on the east side of the park. — Jay Geiger on Seen & Heard: Finn Square’s Next Sculpture

Hope they talk about the tour buses at city hall park where Beekman St meets Park Row. If you're not careful crossing Park Row heading east, they'll crush you. — j frank on Seen & Heard: Finn Square’s Next Sculpture

The parklette is nothing but a gathering for pot smokers to smoke outside amongst neighbors and children during morning and lunchtime hours. — Reade it on Seen & Heard: Zara Is Open

Oh great. Another Zara? Quality has nose dived in recent years. Every time I go there I feel like I've been ripped off. Never again. — Rebecca S on Seen & Heard: Zara Is Open

Trader Joe's What a shame! If you love to cook regardless organic, carver, kosher there really only one store that pleases. Fairway even though I hate that they price according to location and availability of international products. I am still praying — Dizzy on What Is It About Trader Joe’s?

Someone did chop some cement out of one of the old planters near the corner of Broadway and White, presumably as a probe for replanting. DoB is letting HD operate a motorcycle showroom in a retail space contrary to zoning and will not respond to complaints on the matter. Maybe they have an "in" somewhere. — James on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (October 2015)

things must be going really bad for the owner. his other restaurant in hudson square, clarkson, also recently closed down. let's hope cercle rouge stays open! — HH on Seen & Heard: Zara Is Open

Harley doesn't really care about the violations. They still park their bikes on the sidewalk and take over the POPS after receiving the ECB violation. Maybe they consider the fines as costs of operating the business. SMH. Sigh. — TribecaMom on CB1 Tribeca Committee: The Unofficial Minutes (October 2015)

It is in the Tribeca East Historic District (map at https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Tribeca-East-Historic-District-map.png), which means any design must be approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. — Erik Torkells on Is This Parking Lot the Next to Go?

I'm very interested in this project. Isn't this site landmarked? I can not find anything else about it on the internet. Does anyone else know anything? — Josh on Is This Parking Lot the Next to Go?

For people who think the lines are awful, know that they are long but move extremely quickly, since there are 20+ active check outs operating at one time. Also, often times, an employee will pass through the lines asking if you need them to grab anything for you. — cami on What Is It About Trader Joe’s?

Agreed, love the parklet. — mg on Seen & Heard: Zara Is Open

Hmmm... Interesting Cafe Noir is shutting down. The owner is selling his property in LES according to Bowery Boogie. http://www.boweryboogie.com/2015/11/inside-cafe-noir-owners-eldridge-street-mansion-on-the-market-for-12m/ — TribecaMom on Seen & Heard: Zara Is Open

typing too fast.. meant to say "... input every now and then.." and "... will get entirely rehauled" — lowphat on In the News: Timeline for the Food Emporium Replacement

The BPCA board had a great thing going. If they just solicited some community input every now and they, they could have kept their gravy train running indefinitely. Instead, they got greedy and hopefully now will get entire rehauled. — lowphat on In the News: Timeline for the Food Emporium Replacement
