  • 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

  • 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?
