Speaking of our Community Board, I understand it is with their blessing that the Brazilian restaurant on Duane Street has now held two Sunday out-in-the-street dancing parties with deafeningly amplified music -- music heard in apartments for blocks around -- from late afternoon until 9 pm. Shameful. — George Bacon on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

Too little and too late. Also cannot support him as he just endorsed a communist. — Palli on Washington Market Park will get another cash infusion for playgrounds

BTW the City Council has passed legislation which "eliminates all criminal penalties for licensed street vendors and misdemeanor penalties for unlicensed sellers" https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/10/council-veto-override-street-vendor-instacart/ — lia on Washington Market Park will get another cash infusion for playgrounds

Still waiting for CM to address the illegal vending of counterfeit goods on Canal which has trashed the neighborhood. Looks like he really picks and chooses his priorities and who he wants to please. — R. on Washington Market Park will get another cash infusion for playgrounds

Looked at the website, it's a nightclub at the end of day that is border line Epsteinish/P-Diddyish. — Sandra on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

It was loud and disruptive. How do we find out if approved by community board? Would love to stop this from happening again. — Cat on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

Went on Saturday night and loved it! — K on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Michael, we have many empty retail storefronts in the neighborhood, right? It makes me wince when folks complain about new businesses —whether it’s the “we don’t need” this type of business or “these prices are crazy.” What did you think you would accomplish by disparaging this new restaurant (that you obviously do not intend to patronize)? Would you prefer that the space remain empty? Regarding price points, it’s incredibly hard to turn a profit at a NYC restaurant. Have you ever looked at a restaurant’s expense budget? Like any retail business, a restaurant sets its prices at a level that is projected to cover its operating costs and make a reasonable profit, and then makes a judgment as to whether those prices will fly. It’s incredibly risky! Lastly, this place sounds very special! I think you are being presumptuous when you say you could cook the same food at home for a fraction of the price. Do you make your own pasta from scratch? Bravo if you do. Do you make your own sauces from scratch or open a jar? Whatever, if this sort of authentic Italian cooking doesn’t appeal to you, DON’T EAT THERE! But please resist poisoning the neighborhood’s reception of a new business! Let’s welcome them and hope they thrive! — SW on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

While the prices are high for pasta, overhead (rent) in Tribeca is extremely high so it is natural that those costs are passed along to the consumer. I am really looking forward to trying this restaurant. — TribecaMom on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

I'm not sure it's sheepliness. If the cost just doesn't matter to you, there's little lovelier, if you enjoy food, than to be served truly excellent pasta, cooked by a professional. So the answer to your question, "In what world..." is: a world wherein many have found they can make a good living by targeting only people for whom cost is not an issue. NYC, right now, is that world. Pretty simple, abundant evidence. — mulciber on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Though I'd like to be positive, their self-description is kind of gag-inducing. — mulciber on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

Great. I hope they can compete with the hoards of tourists buying illegal knock offs from the the hoards of illegals selling. We don't need new sidewalks, we the authorities to enforce the law. — Michael on World’s largest chain restaurant is coming to Canal Street

4am?!?! and this was approved the Community board? jeez — Richard on There’s a private nightclub on Leonard Street!

In what world are these prices reasonable? $32 for cavatelli with no protein?!?! I don’t care how good the pasta is, a pasta only dish is not worth more than $15. For that price you could make a few days worth of the same thing and if you are a good cook, it will be way better. When will the sheeple wake up and stop supporting this absurdity. — Michael on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Hubby and I went two nights ago! It's FANTASTIC! Nicola, the owner, formerly ran I Trulli! Nonna Dora was there also with "her girls" making fresh pasta. It will fill a real hole in the neighborhood that has been here since Roc left. Excellent food with excellent Italian hospitality. We booked two more dinners all ready. — Genevieve on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

While I've not been a big supporter of Councilman Marte in the past, he has converted me. He's saved the park. — G on Washington Market Park will get another cash infusion for playgrounds

Been twice already this week, fantastic. — Jason on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Two years later, fans continue to flock to this corner: https://www.instagram.com/loschicosallaenlaesquina/ — Alex in NYC on Tribeca corner named for Argentinian rocker

suggest offering pasta making classes! would be great for kids birthdays and definitely drive traffic. good luck! — laura on Sneak Peek: Nonna Dora’s

Right on! — Downtown Dad Reborn on Wagner Park restaurant goes to a Queens company that operates The Migrant Kitchen

Right! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

My children played their for two decades. P3 is once again installed at Pier 40. — Tribeca Citizen on P3 will leave Pier 40 this summer

Does anyone remember‘How’s Bayou’ restaurant on the corner of Harrison and Greenwich? I’d love to see any photos. It was my go to place for a fun night out when I lived at Independence Plaza back in the 80’s — Brian Gorman on Tribeca in the 1980s

After reading the article & comments, there’s obviously another agenda that “James” and the “tribeca citizen” feel are more important than affordable youth baseball for NYC kids. I assume they never had children who benefited from the dedicated coaches and teachers who made P3, DTLL, GVLL, Gothams, youth camps, etc. This small corner of a NYC pier was where my son grew up, and made lifelong friendships that helped make him who he is today —through youth baseballl. There are so few spaces for youth sports in NYC. Try to make all of your decisions in the best interest of the children. After reading this article and the comments, it seems like the kids are the last thing taken into consideration. For all the good Hudson River Park has done for NY, this seems out of character to destroy downtown youth baseball. — TG on P3 will leave Pier 40 this summer

Based on that fence, I am going to say the east side of West Broadway between Warren & Murry Streets. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?
