Rotisserie chicken @ Bouley Bakery! ... oh wait, never mind. :( — JF on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

The "Friends" of the Hudson River Park are no friend of Tribeca/West Side residents. They give me the Robert Moses creeps disguised in a "river park-way." Since Michael Novogratz has extensive experience in paying for scaffolding, maybe he could "wrestle" the cost of scaffolding out of his "a$$" to protect the decaying parts of the HRP until the HRP can figure out how to cover their costs, per their original agreement with the City, without taxing the OVERtaxed residents of NYC. CB1 is and has been a joke. Oops, yes, the FofHRP is also a joke because any toddler attending PS 234 could come up with the idea of a NID, because it's the EASIEST "solution." You'd think the FofHRP could do better than that, but obviously not. Did I already mention CB1 is a joke? Well, it's true, they are. Side note - I'd like to have central A/C in my apartment, but I can't afford it right now, so if anyone wants to contribute to a Friends of Smithers's New Central A/C Unit, please let EriK! know ASAP. Thank you, the one friend of MIchael Novogratz. Or maybe the FofHRP could come up with their own Sequestor option? Or not. Idiots! — Jim Smithers on Open Letter: The Hudson River Park Tax

beautiful! So he makes this from other bits and pieces of lego kits? Or does he design specially made kits? Either way, it's beautiful — liat on The Ghostbusters Firehouse Like You’ve Never Seen It Before

Haven't owners' property values increased in the last five years as a result of the park?? — Marc Dalton on Open Letter: The Hudson River Park Tax

Hi! I'm the owner of Siring Asian Grill and I just wanted to thank you for putting us on the radar. Let me know if you ever want to stop in for a visit and I can tell you a little more about ourselves and what we aim to do. Best regards, Smith Sirisakorn — Smith Sirisakorn on Seen & Heard: Broadway Openings and Closings

Generally a well socialized domestic pet rat that gets out is looking for a human to take care of them. People find pet rats more often than you might think. The rat will run right up to a person wanting food or attention. The first most obvious sign of domestication in rats, like most animals, is coloring. Second would be it's docile, friendly behavior. — Tahna on Seen & Heard: Did You Lose a Rat?

MARVELOUS WORK ! Thank you for the wake up call. Opening the eyes of so many of us to the things around us. Helping us take notice of the little things, that make up the big things. — Lisa Zari on Paint It White

I commented regarding Max. To clarify, I have no affiliation. I have lived in Tribeca for over 5 years. Is Max my all time favorite Tribeca restaurant? No, but I do like it. Is it an iconic Tribeca restaurant? No, but it has been around longer than some of the others listed - Tinys, Locanda Verde. I just know I love their Rigatoni and Eggplant and would be sad if they ever took if off the menu ;) — Harriet on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

@Strollerless: It never occurred to me that you might have been suggesting I wrote them! My point was that I recognized the commenters (I see their email addresses) as people who had commented before, and not about Max. And of course just because a few people posted negative comments on one page doesn't mean that others might not post positive ones on another. — Erik Torkells on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

Max is my Italian go-to in Tribeca, great reliable food and not crazy expensive. — Oz on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

@Erik - I know you didn't write them, but Max was an offshoot of an East Village chain, hardly Tribeca. And the reviews on your Restaurant Guide are pretty bad... It has gone so downhill. Iconic, no. Who are all these fans? https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/restaurant/max/ — StrollerlessTribecaHottie on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

@Strollerless: If you're implying the comments are PR-y, they're not.... — Erik Torkells on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

Some of these are great, but I'm confused about all the Max suggestions - The original was in the East Village and I never think of Max as Iconic Tribeca... Nor did I realize it had such a big following... — StrollerlessTribecaHottie on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

Huh? In England the h is silent. If you wanted to Americanize it, you'd pronounce the h. — Doug on Seen & Heard: Car Fire Trick

/ʌɪˈkɒnɪk/ - adjective relating to or of the nature of an icon; very famous and well known, and believed to represent a particular idea — meredith on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

Along with the chili lobster toast at Marc Forgione, I would add the Halibut En Croute and Banana Pecan Pie Bread pudding (pretty much the entire menu is iconic there!) Also would add the Rigatoni with Eggplant from Max to the list. And the Bubby's Breakfast is another classic! — Harriet on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca

I pronounce Thames like the river. My building's back door is on W. Thames St, and it's often a battle to get a cab driver to understand the street name. I have heard a few people pronounce it phonetically, but most pronounce it like the river. — Doug on Seen & Heard: Car Fire Trick

And then there's that frisee salad with lardons and poached egg at Odeon. I'd give that iconic status too. — Jean Passanante on The Iconic Dishes of Tribeca
