Website says they are now open on Sat and Sun to 6pm, also to 6pm Mon-Fri. I will check them out now that Kings has closed. — B on New Kid on the Block: Tribeca Apothecary

That is a problem... — MME on New Kid on the Block: Tribeca Apothecary

The City has done everything for restaurants! Allowing free shantytown street shed space and continuing this even though the Covid Emergency is over, allowing "take out" drinks (a huge money maker) and more. In the meantime, the City has done nothing for local shops and businesses facing high rent, ecommerce competition, shoplifting, trash & rats from nearby restaurants.... So a great place like Kings is closing - and restaurants get to make even more money. — Lisa on Nosy Neighbor: Are restaurants allowed to advertise on their dining sheds?

If advertising is allowed on dining sheds, that is the final nail in their coffin, or rather, nail removal in their destruction. Most sheds are already eyesores, sloppily built and/or vandalized with graffiti. This will only make them even more of an eyesore. We are already assaulted with advertising everywhere. We should be putting laws in place to remove outdoor advertising, not add more of it. We should start with banning billboards in the city, as other cities in the world have done. — Marcus on Nosy Neighbor: Are restaurants allowed to advertise on their dining sheds?

Almost every restaurant in the neighborhood goes till 1a on weekends -- my guess is the Palm went until 2a. Plus the CB is more liberal with avenues than side streets, — Tribeca Citizen on New restaurant coming to The Palm space

I live above the old Palm restaurant and this new restaurant will be open until1 am!!! The noise would be a disaster. This is a residential building, I can't understand it is legal. The community board does not want tenants to be above a 1 am venue but yet they are considering it here. Why is is not equal to other restaurants in the neighborhood that closes at 10pm. — Tribeca resident on New restaurant coming to The Palm space

Tribeca Apothecary is wonderful. Helpful and efficient. Of course there are no children's toys, etc. But a great neighborhood pharmacy. — G on An update on life after Kings

what will happen to affordable tenants? will they be offered other housing options? — anne on Tribeca Green in BPC is going coop

With an insurance change in May I was finally able to move my maintenance scrips back to the warmth and care of Kings. I was delighted to be able to return to the safety of people who care. I'd told my new PCP about Kings. He said treasure it. We all did. — Beasie on Kings Pharmacy, a Tribeca staple for 25 years, will close on June 30

Look on a map. — Tribeca Citizen on Drop-off composting bins have arrived

Looks like the suggestions didn’t cut it- as it seems to have closed. It was shut today and all the branding has been removed. By the way, who looks after Bogardus Plaza? It’s a lively little space, but filthy. It (and all the tables) needs a damn good jet wash. — JoeS on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s kiosk seeking suggestions

Our son recently had the honor of performing with Richard. Our son loved the experience. He was an inspiration and we wish him much luck! — Readit on Seen & Heard: Richard Younger retires from Church Street School

I also live in Tribeca like those here. I find her positions reasonable. Simply, i think things have gotten worse during C. Marte’s tenure. Her ideas addresss concerns shared by many including those to worried about e-backlash to post here. — scared on City Council Primary 2023: Susan Lee

Where is Franklin and Varick? I think there is an error. There is Franklin and Greenwich or Franklin and Hudson, Franklin and West. — Sandy Adelsberg on Drop-off composting bins have arrived

When is the next community board meeting to discuss? We should make sure to get as many residents of the building to attend and involve the board of the building. Was anything discussed about new restaurant/club? — Adam on New restaurant coming to The Palm space

I am living in one of these buildings and indeed have been living here since 1978. I too am awaiting additional information. — Larry Loonin on Bodega coming to West Broadway and Chambers

Just click the blue words that say EFNY. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Richard Younger retires from Church Street School

Yes, the DoS site shows green markers where no app is required and orange ones where the app is required. I think this is a positive move by the city but I am sure there will be those who find fault with it. — Bob on Drop-off composting bins have arrived

Hi, I can’t seem to find the link on the Manhattan Youth/EFNY French classes mentioned above (not linked in “more info here” and can’t find on either MY or EFNY websites). Would it be possible to share it again? Thanks so much! — ZN on Seen & Heard: Richard Younger retires from Church Street School

I would like her take on the constant smoke shops popping up in the neighborhood, the mentally ill homeless roaming the neighborhood. I am all for the dining shed (covid is over and these business are just being greedy now). Say no to congestion pricing. It affects teachers and city employees who don’t live near this area. What they need to do is fine delivery trucks who cause most of the traffic nightmare. Trucks and cars who block bus stops too. — Sandra on City Council Primary 2023: Susan Lee

The candidate choices are weak. If she's against congestion pricing I'm against her. Probably too late anyway as it will pass regardless of her position. If I hadn't spent 10 years in SF politics before moving back I'd be far more involved. Local politics is pak full. And the current choices prove it — Patrick on City Council Primary 2023: Susan Lee

Anyone but Marte. He's void of any knowledge of how affordable housing is fianced. Solely a campaigner. — Patrick on City Council Primary 2023: Susan Lee

Shot in the dark here but does anyone remember the pretzel shop across from P.S 234 like 25 years ago where the TD Bank is today? It was called either Twists or Pretzel Time according to my dad but I can't find any information on it — Chris on Seen & Heard: Bike Path Bollards

It's awful. Why this selective enforcement of the laws? It makes a mockery of the law, and makes those of us who are law-abiding seem like suckers. — Marcus on City Council Primary 2023: Christopher Marte

@Sam – You thanked me for my responses but didn’t really engage with them. The less-trafficked and safer streets from congestion pricing, the better commutes for bus and subway riders (who far outnumber drivers in and to the zone), the kids at schools whose playgrounds might get reclaimed from teachers’ cars – no comment? It’s in the nature of CP to benefit the many. Appeals to the common good aren’t fashionable these days (though it’s been great to see many in the Susan Lee interview comments), but to ignore the broad, widespread benefits from CP is to have a one-armed debate. Not for me, sorry. I made the broad case for CP in a NYT op-ed earlier this month. Please give it a look before replying again. You can find it by googling komanoff wagner congestion (Gernot Wagner was my co-author). One of our many points: the venerable antipoverty organization Community Service Society is a strong CP backer, based on the fact that relatively few lower-wage workers drive to the zone. Since you asked: I was a public school parent and student. To your speculation that bicyclists are “fearful of the subway,” no, we’re fearful of being run over by drivers. The prospect of calmer, safer streets, along with our intimate view of traffic dysfunction, is a big reason cyclists as a group strongly support CP. — Komanoff on City Council Primary 2023: Christopher Marte
