Well, I should call it by its proper name, Duane Park Patisserie. — Bruce Ehrmann on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie
Impossible! Without Madeline and Patisserie Lanciani, what's left? What will I DO? Well, I could always go around the corner to that little shop that just sells caviar and pate. Not a very good breakfast. Or I could go across the street to Laughing Man or whatever it's called now and imagine I'm in Brentwood or the Hollywood Hills, buy a latte and fight for a seat. Well, there's always Tribeca Grill and Riverrun and HowsBayou and Yaffa's. No, there isn't. Madeline, stay open for ME. — Bruce Ehrmann on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie
You have been such a vital and integral of the neighborhood through thick and thin, from before and after 9/11 and all the other changes in the neighborhood; you have been a real constant. This is so well deserved and exciting. We wish you the very best. Xo — Iris Kimberg on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie
Madeline. Say it ain’t so! As a long time Tribeca resident I used to drive up to 4th street to get those yummy pasties. Imagine my delight when she opened on Duane Street. A go to for special events, birthday cakes, magic cup cakes, wedding gifts, ring dings (always a great gift when visiting friends), and graduation gifts. Great snacks at soccer games. Always friendly. And gave us Olivia and nick. Add in this-a Chopped winner. You will be missed. — Dwight Yellen on Madeline Lanciani is selling Duane Park Patisserie

We love Allison and her business. We hired her for some small projects and she NAILED it. Felt like a new home in some ways when some of your most used areas get fixed up! She is great — Sean Kosofsky on Made in Tribeca: Org.nyc

Wonderful to see that James Bogardus mentioned Bartelby! — John Gallagher on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?
Thanks for remembering "Time and Again." Years ago, when I exited the now-demolished 132 Nassau Street, I had the narrator's sense of walking into the past, due to the low-rise buildings there and on Beekman Street and Park Row, the bustle of small-business commerce, and the structures of brick and stone versus glass and steel. Read this time-bending book for a sense of that era. — Gary on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?
It’d be nice if Apollo Bagels was far enough along to be ordering pots for boiling, but if you look at the truck’s cab it says, “Kitchen Exhaust Systems”. — N on Seen & Heard: Signs of progress at Apollo Bagels
Another good read. The border between safe and zombie zones is Canal Street. Good use of location. — Gary on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?
Good novel. Also might have been the disputed origin of a short-lived detective show, "New Amsterdam." When I met Pete Hamill at a book signing (in Soho), I mentioned that he had placed his protagonist's loft at the exact corner where my office is located! — Gary on Crowd Sourcing: Do you have a list of all the books set in Tribeca?

It is a very welcome and encouraging sign to enhance the cultural landscape of Tribeca rather than to continually innundate our area with overpriced restaurants and shops. I wish them great success! — Richard Kurtz on Made in Tribeca: Little Engine Theater
