Wandered over to the Ave A location today and gave this place a shot. Great food and think it will be a popular addition to the neighborhood if it's anything like the original location. We need to break the restaurant curse on 225 W. Broadway. How many different places has it been? — alee on A Modern Australian Restaurant Is Opening in Tribeca

"Eastern Consolidated’s Retail Leasing Division has arranged a 12-year, 3,000 s/flease at 80 Lafayette Street in Tribeca for Todd Merrill, who is relocating his upscale design and furniture gallery from its current space at 65 Bleecker Street." http://rew-online.com/2015/12/21/retail-briefs-bustler-coffee-at-485-madison-furniture-gallery-heads-to-65-bleecker/ — James on Seen & Heard: DHL Store on Church Street

Thanks for the survey. And thanks for Tribeca Citizen. It's the number one way I get my local news! — Janet on Best of 2015: The Winners

No point intended - I really just wondered... — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: Leather Spa Opens Next Week

Another thing: When people think of the FiDi, they think of Wall Street. Chambers to Vesey is nowhere close to Wall Street. Also common sense says when you enter the WTC site you are officially in FiDi. — Xavier on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

Case closed? First off who died and made you the one to decide what the boundaries of TriBeCa are? You don't even live in TriBeCa, you live in FiDi. 'Pretty presumptous of you to set boundaries for a neighborhood you don't even live in. I could care less what CB1 says, they're wrong. I have been living in TriBeCa for over 40 years and TriBeCa is bordered by Canal, West, Broadway, and Vesey and PS 234 is part of TriBeCa "case closed". Vesey makes more sense as a southern boundary because it's right above the WTC site. Under your definition of FiDi Raccoon Lodge is part of FiDi - ridiculous. I think RL would beg to differ. — Xavier on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

LMBOOOOOOOO!!!! I need to have D&D's stock! — T on Who’s Onboard at the Fulton Center

Xavier, It's Easy! The COMMUNITY BOARD has the boundary at Murray. Case closed. That said, I personally set the boundary at Chambers, because I agree that the boundary should be an important Street and I've chosen Chambers. You can pick whichever street you like. :-) — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

I meant after New Year's, but I concede the point — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Leather Spa Opens Next Week

when do the tourist leave? — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: Leather Spa Opens Next Week

Is 403 Greenwich still completely rat infested? — KP on Seen & Heard: A New Shop on Washington

Below Chambers Street to the World Trade Center site is not FiDi cuz then you're saying PS 234 which is right below Chambers (being below the sidewalk and the street) is not part of TriBeCa and that's ridiculous. TriBeCa's southern border is Vesey cuz that's where the top of the World Trade Center site is. How can you start the northern border of FiDi with a nondescript street like Murray? — Xavier on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

According to CB1, the Financial District's northern border is the south Side of Murray. Tribeca's southern boundary is the north side. Though personally, I include everything south of Chambers as the Financial District. :-) — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

I was so excited about this as I have a bag of leather goods in desperate need of repair, that I called them. It opens on Monday, 12/28! — Liz on 14 Reasons to Be Excited About the Future

Typical lazy do nothing First Precinct cop. — Xavier on Seen & Heard: Saleya’s Farewell Note

I see nothing wrong with this. We could really use a cheap convenient place. Harried providers of childcare in particular are going to be very happy, including the one I live with. — Noah on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

To me the borders of TriBeCa are as follows: North: South side of Canal Street South: North side of Vesey Street East: West side of Broadway West: East side of West Street — Xavier on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

I guess that depends on where you consider the borders of Tribeca to be. — KP on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

I think it will be open much sooner. They appear to be almost done. Should open by January. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on 14 Reasons to Be Excited About the Future

That's true! Added to the text. — Erik Torkells on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

There's also a Pret at Park Place and Church Street. — Anonymous on Another Pret a Manger in Tribeca

I saw a backpack sitting by itself under a chair in the plaza near that luggage. There were police outside Morgan's Market across the street. So I went over to tell them about the abandoned bag and the guy shrugged his shoulders dismissively and went on into the market to get his food. — Julie on Seen & Heard: Saleya’s Farewell Note

Me too! — KP on Seen & Heard: Empty Storefronts With the Most Potential

I would love to see Bazzinni (sp?) return with a small shop just selling the the nuts and gift baskets. I could see it in the little space on Greenwich where Yuya nails was or the tiny space on Jay St. where the tea shop used to be. I miss those pistachios! — Huck's mom on Seen & Heard: Empty Storefronts With the Most Potential

re the Target press release: Now stores no longer have shoppers, -- how crude how crass! They have "guests." As a guest of the new Target store may I expect the items in my carte to be free? — George Bacon on 14 Reasons to Be Excited About the Future
