Pisillo really saved me when we were in the process of moving (and made me almost sorry we were leaving). Excellent subs with good ingredients--and one was plenty for the two of us. Miss it! — Suzanne F on Cheap Eats: The Downtown Edition

I moved to 84 Walker St. 3rd floor in 1976 and lived there till 1985. Frank had just left but my floors still had his paint all over them. Here is the original listing from the Village Voice. The Mudd Club was my local hangout from '78 to '81. /Users/tommy/Desktop/84walker_st.jpg — tommy flynn on In the News: The Telecom Hives of Lower Manhattan

Re: "Notable misses (there are many)": I never claimed this post was comprehensive. Re: "kinda goofy": Sometimes I just don't have the bandwidth or energy to go order something just so I can take a photo of it. How about meeting me halfway? — Erik Torkells on Cheap Eats: The Downtown Edition

It's kinda goofy to show that pic from Nish Nush and say what it isn't, rather than saying what it is. I recognized it instantly. It's the falafel trio platter, which comes with nine falafel pieces (3 flavors x 3), hummus, white and red cabbage, olives, pickles, Israeli salad, tahini and shug. It's a great deal at $11 and enough for two. The other notable misses (there are many) include Tasty Dumpling on Mulberry St., which I first learned about from a blurb quoting Danny Meyer of Union Square Hospitality Group fame: he likes the place. For $1.25 you get 5 lightly fried pork and chive dumplings (better than steamed) that are surprisingly tasty (as the name suggests). Take them out since the seating and tables are rag-tag and eat them across the street in Colombus Park while they're still hot. Ben's on Spring and Thompson has the best slices around, for my money. Plus it's virtually unchanged after all these years. — Doc on Cheap Eats: The Downtown Edition

These are wonderful! Hard to believe they're watercolors. Thanks for posting. — SJW on The Watercolors of Nan Lombardi (Part 2)

+1 on the snack shack. i thought it was just me who liked it. also, i recommend the chinese takeout lunch specials at new fresco tortillas at 63 reade street. where else can you get a decent mapo tofu for $5.50 around here? http://www.seamless.com/food-delivery/new-fresco-tortillas-new-york-city.7962.r — josh on Cheap Eats: The Downtown Edition

I know you hate chains, but the Hummus and Pita Company on Chambers is fantastic...you get a huge platter of food (I usually get 3 meals out if it) for $10. This is what I get: tons of spiced, grilled chicken breast, rice pilaf, 3 falafel balls, hummus, olives, red cabbage salad, chick pea salad, feta cheese, tahini dressing and a pita bread. Also the pizzas at Granddaisy are about $3.50 and very satisfying. Another staple is the "whatever on rice" at Excellent Dumpling House for $4.25...not a lunch special, available anytime. I get chicken and broccoli. And Cornerstone? Maybe not the healthiest option but when you want fried chicken (skinless!)... — Elisa on Cheap Eats: The Downtown Edition

Recommend The Snack Shack on Pier 25 near minature golf.Very good inexpensive burgers, veggie burgers, chicken, hot dogs, fries etc with a million dollar view of the Hudson and marina. — Milo on Cheap Eats: The Downtown Edition

So the concern is for the heat and not the humidity? — Jim Smithers on Bikram Yoga NYC Has Found a Space in Tribeca

Better yet, there is an amazing New Bikram studio in East Tribeca at 404-406 Broadway. Spanking new, amazing owners, gorgeous studio space and the best vibe, casual and fun yet serious about practice and great instructors. #bikram yoga soho — Peter on Bikram Yoga NYC Has Found a Space in Tribeca

Re Nan Lombardi How can we potentially see and buy these pictures without going to Great Barington Thanks — Bronwyn on The Watercolors of Nan Lombardi

Various sources said different numbers, so I went with Yoga Journal.... http://www.yogajournal.com/practice/1186 — Erik Torkells on Bikram Yoga NYC Has Found a Space in Tribeca

Don't scare everyone! It's only 40% humidity, 60% would make even the strongest among us crying into our mats. Can't wait to see the space! — Erin on Bikram Yoga NYC Has Found a Space in Tribeca

I spent 14 years as a docent aboard the Zwicker when she was tied up for the summer at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine. I was very sad to see her go but feel reassured that she has found a home that will preserve her tradition of offering the bounty and history of the sea. — David Barber on The Coolest Spot in Tribeca This Summer

i live on leonard street and am surrounded on all sides by new construction and renovation, i find it depressing to even go out its all around me, i see nothing but scaffolding on just about every corner and construction workers. its noisy and dirty. the herzog and de meuron building going up on my street has obstructed my light. i find myself in a bad mood all the time, just anticipating having to do errands etc. walk the dog. sometimes i just feel that the neighborhood is just getting ready for "the rich people" who will not even be living here full time, or probably even part time. the greed just baffles. and please don't tell me that new york is always changing blah blah blah. — jgreen on Shadowland (Vol. 5)
