  • And there’s Brooklyn Bread on Greenwich and Murray! Carbs are back and I’m here for it. I don’t mind a bit of competition in the neighborhood. Maybe it will drive down prices so I’m not spending so much on a bagel with cream cheese. — Tribeca Diner on Bagel Wars! Another bagelry is coming to the neighborhood

  • Also Tribeca Bagels : https://tribecabagels.getsauce.com I've not tried it, or any of the other bagelries mentioned, so I have no basis of comparison....I used to frequent Black Seed in the East Village, which had great bagels. — Marcus on Bagel Wars!

  • I would see John John and Carolyn walking up West Broadway holding hands. You would notice Carolyn's piercing blue eyes first- she was more stunning in person than in photographs. Then you'd notice John, totally enamored by her. We were once in Zutto's on Hudson St on a really warm day and a tall guy in a wool pea cap comes walking in and takes a seat by a window! We are thinking who the hell wears a wool cap on such a warm day? Oh it's John! A few minutes later Carolyn comes walking in and meets him at that window table. Everyone in the restaurant was knocking elbows under their tables and not trying to be too obvious-"look who it is! Can you hear what their saying?Don't stare." You could tell by how he hung on everyone of Carolyn's words how much in love they were. He ate breakfast across from our loft at the Bodega ( Edward's), sit at the counter reading the paper, all the waitresses were in love with this gorgeous man.My wife stopped in for coffee and John said he was done with the New York Times and would she like his paper? He was a regular guy. My 15 minutes with John was outside New York's Finest dry cleaner on Hudson St. I dropped off some dry cleaning and was outside on the sidewalk putting the receipt in my pocket when a guy on roller blades with a hockey stick came barreling down the block at a high speed and couldn't stop. He missed me by inches and had to grab onto the street light pole to stop. He said " are you Okay? I'm so sorry." John was a customer of that dry cleaner and Dominic,the retired policeman who owned it would tell me the story of how he always cried when ever he saw the photo of John John saluting his father's casket. I could go on and on about how he helped my downstairs neighbor in the subway when she couldn't get through a stuck turnstile , or how kind he was to friends cleaning lady waiting for help in his law office. — S.Klein on Crowd Sourcing: Remembering JFK Jr. and his time in Tribeca

  • Been there 3 times since last Tuesday’s grand opening. Already seen pet owners allowing their dogs to roam freely (without leash) on the lawn even though there are 5+ signs that say “Pet-Free”. The BPC ambassadors did nothing except scrolling on their phones until my husband pointed it out to them. Otherwise, it’s nicely done and can’t wait for the free exercise classes to start in September! — Wendy Kong on Wagner Park has reopened

  • JFK Jr. was a regular presence in our restaurants and many others in Tribeca. He was very charismatic and easily recognized, but he never threw his weight around for special treatment. He seemed to enjoy being a New Yorker, and being part of the Tribeca community. His passing meant that his great potential for what might have been was not realized. However, he left a significant footprint, and his memory will always bring a smile. — Tracy Nieporent on Crowd Sourcing: Remembering JFK Jr. and his time in Tribeca

  • I have not seen an update here since November 2024 about Seppe Pizza Bar possibly taking over the former Harry’s space. — JPL on Nosy Neighbor: Where is the Goldman breezeway?

  • neighborhood folks.” As the fifth location, something might be lost by the time he gets to us, but that is certainly a nice sentiment. I recommend checking out my other locations before making that assumption :-) Thanks for the mention. — christopher pugliese on Bagel Wars! Another bagelry is coming to the neighborhood

  • Completely agree Alex. What is difficult to see in the photos are the raked wooden seating areas that offer great views. However, there will never be the dining experience by the water which was one of the things that made the old place so special. But, time marches on. — Slue on Wagner Park has reopened

  • I remember letting my dog play in front of the Citi building. A few times he came by with his dog,,and both dogs played together. We would stand next to each other, say hello, and nothing more. — Norman Saban on Crowd Sourcing: Remembering JFK Jr. and his time in Tribeca

  • We call it Goldman Alley. Still missing Lili's. — N on Nosy Neighbor: Where is the Goldman breezeway?

  • in the mid 90's he almost hit me while riding his bike the wrong way on west broadway. he stopped and seem mortified and kept apologizing over and over- at the time i didn't know who he was- but told him that everything was ok- and to NOT rider the wrong way! he thanked me and we each went on or way. — madeline c lanciani on Crowd Sourcing: Remembering JFK Jr. and his time in Tribeca

  • Big thanks to him for what he gave our neighborhood over the years — Annie on Chef Austin Johnson has left One White Street

  • When John John lived on Hudson and Worth, I'd see him almost every morning having breakfast at Socrates Restaurant (where Tamarind is now). — jane freeman on Crowd Sourcing: Remembering JFK Jr. and his time in Tribeca

  • There was a huge production filming on Hudson btwn N Moore and Franklin (including closing Bubby’s down) on Thursday. Lit up Hudson like a set on Thursday evening — was a sight to see (not complaining). We suspected it was Devil Wears Prada 2 but could have been this. — Hudson Resident on Crowd Sourcing: Remembering JFK Jr. and his time in Tribeca

  • There should be a basement level corner cutting MTA easement here in case there's ever a 10th/Hudson subway that could run a service onto the 8th Ave Line and deep into Brooklyn. Of course there won't be because the MTA is asleep at the wheel and long term vision planning /provisions is a foreign concept to them. — NFA on Tribeca Pharmacy building has been sold

  • If the goal was to make pretty place for tourists to walk through on the way to the Battery then I guess it was a success. However, if you compare it to the jewel/oasis that the prior park iteration was it is sadly lacking in every respect. Took a walk through yesterday: loads of concrete/ashpalt, lttle to no shade, no sense of the idyllic location that used to be there to spend a quiet afternoon. There is zero improvement. We did not need a "vibrant, gathering place for performances. Would prefer to have a quiet, local park with a serene vibe and gorgeous views. Can't wait till the vendors invade it... — Albert Eshoo on Wagner Park has reopened

  • Don’t understand the Italian restaurant hate (especially a gluten free friendly differentiation). Would the rest of the commenters like another coffee shop or MedSpa to open in the space?? — Tribeca Dad on Friedmans new space on Greenwich will be an Italian concept

  • No. — Tribeca Citizen on Man who was seen jumping into Hudson is not found by FDNY

  • Do you take any video from the incident? I'm asking because the person who jumped was my nephew. — Joan on Man who was seen jumping into Hudson is not found by FDNY

  • I saw Tompkins square bagels also opening in that little strip! — W on Friedmans coming to the Caliza space

  • If you are going to reference Socrates shouldn't you be referring to Benvenuto as that new place in the Studio Deli space? — resident on Friedmans new space on Greenwich will be an Italian concept
