Jaime! Cranky, kind and interesting, knew every detail of her stock. Her wonderful staff and her amazing merch! She was an advocate for the neighborhood and jumped on board (signed petitions) supporting initiatives for historic preservation and community efforts. Glad they got out alive! — neighbor on Flashback: The days of Tent & Trails
Tent & Trails owned the building. — Tribeca Citizen on Flashback: The days of Tent & Trails
Most of Tribeca is a ghost town, as compared to other parts of the city. Foot traffic alone cannot sustain a successful business here. Most rents are reasonable. But, when you add the unpredictability of ever rising real estate taxes which you can't budget for it makes to hard to run a successful business here. — S on Spectrum has closed on Chambers
Thrilled to see Kazumi's new inspirations. — PHBGross on Seen & Heard: Looking handsome again
I worked in the area for 24 years and bought many warm gloves, hats and socks there. Need a new winter jacket and wish the store was still there. I miss Downtown Deli too. Horrible landlord (aren't they all?). — Sherri Rosen on Flashback: The days of Tent & Trails
It'd be great to have a restaurant there again (eat-in Chinese less pricey and scene-y than Mr Chow please), but I fear that this is another case of empty retail renting the windows for advertisements that look like they might be a new business but instead are for something else and/or digital. I can't read the first phrase in the picture, but the others read, "The world's best chefs on creativity" and "Leadership and perfection", both seem to imply video content rather than a brick and mortar restaurant. — N on New restaurant? coming to the Salaam Bombay space
Not even an hour ago my husband said, "I need to replace this jacket and I have no idea where to go since Tent and Trails is no more!". Like Pam's family, most of our outdoor gear was purchased at T&Ts over many years. We miss that special place, as much as we miss Riverrun! Good luck to Jaime and all the employees who helped us find what we needed. — Nicole Vianna on Flashback: The days of Tent & Trails
Gotham Seafood delivered 10,000 lbs of ice on a daily basis for the first two months after the attacks to all of the first responder mustering points (PAPD, NYPD FDNY FEMA) that were set up around the WTC site. One day, as we were unloading ice, I noticed David had taken over an abandoned storefront on Liberty Street directly facing the burning and collapsed Towers (location, location, location). He had set up rows of tables, each adorned with flowers, to serve the first responders working at the site. There was a chalk board menu on a wall with the days specials. It was christened The Ground Zero Cafe by the rescue workers. I asked him if I he needed anything as we looked out onto the site and he replied, with misty eyes, “I just want to serve these guys some great food”. For the next two months we delivered swordfish, salmon, lobsters and whatever he asked for. The specials menu was evolving; Whole Maine Lobster, Lobster Salad, Blackened Swordfish, Tuna Steak Au Poivre. The place was packed day and night with weary firemen after their shifts. I’ll never forget the look in the fire men’s eyes as they sat outside on chairs after their meals, a mere forty feet from the destruction, contemplating the task ahead. David’s extraordinary “Cafe” was a lifeline to the heroic rescue teams who toiled endless hours looking for their lost brothers. I miss his infectious energy. I’m sure he’s designing new menus for all who were lost. — Johnny Fish on David Bouley, a chef who made Tribeca and who made Tribeca his home, dies at 70

Couldn’t one of those markets move into the empty 111 Hudson? We are still bereft up here! — Bec on Seen & Heard: Heavenly Market coming soon
Hi - any update here? It's taking so long! =) — Waiting Forever on Hmart coming to the former Jin Market space?
Jaime, we miss you!!!! — S on Flashback: The days of Tent & Trails
Yes, we miss Spartina, too. (And How’s Bayou) — Max on Seen & Heard: Looking handsome again
My son has been playing DSL since he was 5 (now 17). It's always the team he wants to return to (no matter how busy he is with other teams). I don't know what we would have done without them during COVID- it was such a great outlet for the kids and relief for parents. I am a nurse practitioner and worked in a Covid ICU for months - and thought DSL did an amazing job keeping kids safe and getting them outside. I am always so thankful for them but never more during that really difficult year. Thank you for all you do for the community. — Daniela Brady on Citizens of the Month: The Downtown Soccer League board
Same. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Looking handsome again
The Harrison was our favorite place in the neighborhood. I still miss it. — Don on Seen & Heard: Looking handsome again
The Ground Zero Cafe was the "unofficial name" given to the food distribution location across the street from the pit after 9/11. A 24/7 operation in what used to be a fast food place, with most inventory coming from Wegmans upstate. — Paul on Seen & Heard: Cleaned out at Morgan’s
Howe’s Bayou! — kpdnyc on Seen & Heard: Looking handsome again
I miss The Harrison too. — Susan Rosenberg Jones on Seen & Heard: Looking handsome again
Spartina! — Robert Ripps on Seen & Heard: Looking handsome again
Nice shots Heather! — Robert Ripps on Happy first real snow day of the year!
I still miss The Harrison at 355 Greenwich. — G on Seen & Heard: Looking handsome again
The city should store migrants here. Get those poor people out of their cold little tents. It’s February — help them out Mayor A. — Steve C on Spectrum has closed on Chambers
So many stories to tell about dining at his various restaurants. Just suffice it to say, he'll be missed. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on David Bouley, a chef who made Tribeca and who made Tribeca his home, dies at 70
David Bouley’s appearances on the Letterman show were priceless. Thank you for posting Pam❤️ — Kathy on Seen & Heard: Cleaned out at Morgan’s
