Great idea for the neighborhood and NY. — Scott on Seen & Heard: Restroom Start-Up

Hi James, As a fellow germaphobe I can totally relate. With Looie we're really hoping to offer this neighborhood a spotlessly clean and pleasant restroom option - it's a little detail that goes a long way towards improving everyone's quality of life. We're building Looie to serve families so one access key can be used by an entire family for unlimited uses. If the family spends a lot time apart, then it helps for everyone to have their own key when they're on the go. We've surveyed the neighborhood for business that have facilities that are a good match and both Sarabeth's and Kaffe 1668 are on the list - we're working to get them on board. Tribeca in many ways lives in the future and innovations like Looie reinforce that - this neighborhood is the first in NYC to experience a world class restroom infrastructure and we're super excited about it. Feel free to e-mail me at yez@looie.co to reserve your Access Keys for the next phase of pilot launching in mid-July. Cheers! Yez — Yez on Seen & Heard: Restroom Start-Up

This is fantastic. Im a germaphobe- and I have to limit my movements to only places that I can find a reasonably clean facility. Also- being a new parent, I'm so concerned when my kids need the "loo" so this is something I would love for them also. Do I need keys for my kids? can they enter with my looie key? Do you have a family pack if I needed to purchase 4 keys? It would be nice if you had on your site a place where we could submit new locations. we spend a lot of time at Sarabeths in Tribeca- could really use a looie. Also I get my coffee from kaffee 1668, I'm there 6x a week and they need it bad. Tribeca is awesome if were coming up with solutions that make day-to-day commutes around the neighborhood more pleasant. — JamesA on Seen & Heard: Restroom Start-Up

Already making reservations for this week and perhaps a place for my Tweens birthday party?!?! How was the food? Did you enjoy it? — Pam at Triple Threat Mommy on New Kid on the Block: Gunbae

Bravo, Lynn! Your objectiveness is an unmitigated disaster and an insult to Tribecans throughout greater Tribeca. It's unfathomable that any one would take you serious. Your rants provide comic relief to a world filled with real problemos. Thanks for being you. — Jim Smithers on “Crappy New Construction”

I might have my story a little off because it has been years, but when Kitchenette moved from the east side of the street to the west, they helped their cooks to open The Little Place in the same space. They kept making crepes but added some Mexican food. Later they expanded to the space they have now. Well, had. The tragic fate of 2 of Tribeca's much loved restaurants. — mruptight on Kitchenette Appears to Be Closing

Tribeca Tavern!! — Carmen on Where in Tribeca…?

This is the Tribeca Tavern "logo", 6th Avenue entrance. — Catharina on Where in Tribeca…?

Looks like all these amenities are meant to keep residents from ever leaving the building and enjoying the city. Seems kind of a waste to put such a building in a city that has so much to offer. — KP on Amenities and Renderings for 111 Murray

And the colors. Beautiful. — David G. Imber on Photo Safari!

The picture of the Woolworth Building is wonderful. The composition, the contrast. — David G. Imber on Photo Safari!

I have trouble shaking the sense that the creative team, comprising individuals who've proved they possess talent and intelligence in their previous work, is expressing contempt through this design. — David G. Imber on Amenities and Renderings for 111 Murray

For the record Wangs' corporate office is on Broadway between Franklin and White so it makes sense he's eyeing up property nearby. — true on In the News: Harry Styles and Alexander Wang

i'm almost embarrassed t tell people where i spent the last 10 years of my life. what a bloody cliche this place has become. — red zephir on Kitchenette Appears to Be Closing

11 North Moore is an unmitigated disaster and an insult to Tribeca. As for Sterling Mason: it is such poor quality it is unfathomable, and the cheapness and low quality undermine what might have been a perfectly fine design. The color is all wrong. The only good that can be said about it is that it follows the architectural language of Tribeca and the height and massing fit Tribeca fine. But of course, LPC did not hold them to a high quality standard, as others have noted. It would not have helped to change the design, the developer would have been just as cheap. It could have been a lot worse, when I think about it. And as for the windows, I doubt LPC said it was okay to use square ones in an arched opening. The staff generally say no to that, unless of course the staff were over-ruled by the commission itself. These designs were approved a long time ago, before Tribeca Trust was in existence. Alas, the real opportunity to complain would have been when the designs were being reviewed. — Lynn Ellsworth on “Crappy New Construction”

Exciting to have new food options in the area! Korean BBQ is awesome. — anonymous on New Kid on the Block: Gunbae

Kitchenette actually had two locations (not simultaneously) on west Broadway- the original location was on the east side of the street between warren and Murray. This is really sad news — . on Kitchenette Appears to Be Closing

I also really enjoy all the real estate gossip, true or not. Keep it coming! — Nicole on In the News: Harry Styles and Alexander Wang

This Harry Styles rumor was featured in today's Racked newsletter, complete with a map. http://ny.racked.com/2015/6/18/8805995/harry-styles-tribeca-taylor-swift — Anonymous on In the News: Harry Styles and Alexander Wang

“against my wishes and will” means that they were basically forced out of there by their shitty landlord after 20 years. — Nicky on Pão Has Closed

I saw what looked like brokers with a floor plan looking around the kitchen at Kitchenette on Chambers St the other day. Are they going out of business? — Anthony on In the News: Harry Styles and Alexander Wang

I personally enjoy reading all of the real estate gossip/speculation/rumours whether they're true or not. That's one of those things you should expect from a neighborhood blog. I prefer this to some other blogs where all they do is toot their own horns about how great a website they are and how they are the catalyst for anything that happens in the neighborhood. — lowphat on In the News: Harry Styles and Alexander Wang

Most celeb real estate stuff is indeed simply to promote a property, but I sure as hell would want to know if I was possibly going to be in a situation like the folks at 155 Franklin, who have to deal with Taylor Swift fans and paparazzi all the time. As for DiCaprio, what you evidently don't recall is that it was the Real Deal that reported he had bought at 250 West, and I re-reported it, the way any local blogger would. And when DiCaprio's rep denied it, I updated the post accordingly. I've forwarded many rumors on this site, and some have proven to be untrue. But I always say when something is a rumor (look for "the word on the street" or "I hear" or some such phrasing). https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2013/07/20/leonardo-dicaprio-said-to-have-bought-the-250-west-penthouse/ Ultimately, if you dislike this site so much, if you think its integrity is compromised, why read it? The only conclusion I can come to is that you actually like it a lot, but you hate that, so you try to demean it, to lessen its power over you. You're the kid on the playground who pulls pigtails just to get a reaction. I urge you to look deep into yourself and fix it or fuck off. This may be the most New Age-y thing you'll ever hear me say, but I truly can not stand the negative energy of trolldom, and I won't have it -- not about me, not about anyone -- on my site. (No one ever said this was a democracy.) If you want to make constructive criticism, go for it. But that's not what this is, and you've been warned. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Harry Styles and Alexander Wang

i saw leo and his new girlfriend riding citibikes in bpc early saturday morning — resident on In the News: Harry Styles and Alexander Wang

You constantly propagate totally unsubstantiated rumors about celebrities checking out apartments because it helps to build excitement over the property. This is pandering to real estate agents who then advertise with you. This should be "sponsored". Remember the time you said that Leo DiCaprio was hunting for a place int he flood zone on the West Side Highway. Oops. — spam on In the News: Harry Styles and Alexander Wang
