  • The loft board is a joke. I am saying this as an owner of multiple IMD buildings. I have been waiting for applciations to be adjudicated for over two years. All the staff left. No one wants to deal with this. Talk to dob legal. Get the NY Post involved. Its time to put a stop to this bs. — Ethan on The update on 325 Greenwich

  • Chef Eddie’s dream wasn’t over. He’s re opened again in beautiful, Huntington Long Island. It’s still a mom and pop shop and their son is there too. They worked all covid long to make this happen and had the help of an Angel investor. It’s different than quaint Tribeca.. but has a lot of the memories and even sentiments of decor from the Sol Di Capri we knew and loved. It’s now called Edoardo’s! It’s a salumeri, Bakery, caffe and restaurant. It’s at 300 New York Ave, Huntington Long Island. Instagram @Edoardostrattoria It’s worth the drive to Long Island ;) — Adele Beiny on Sole di Capri has closed

  • Fantastic images! I believe 37, 39 and 41 Harrison were not moved. They were formerly on a part of Washington St which no longer exists and is currently an easement in Independence Plaza (see Washington Walk on Google Maps). The other townhouses which are actually on Harrison St were moved (25-31). So I think the pictures may be mislabeled and show #41 in the first 3 and 25 being moved in the last two. You can see in #4 & #5 the orientation of the house being on Harrison St. — Jeff on Landmarks now has a treasure trove of digital images

  • Just when I think I have seen all the historic photos of that location, more are unearthed- this is great! — Robert Ripps on Landmarks now has a treasure trove of digital images

  • It is busy ALL the time. I love Lupe's but perhaps I'll spread a little love across the street too. — TG on New Kid up the Street: Jerrell’s BETR BRGR

  • I am in the public hearings for congestion pricing and so far elected officials from everywhere except Manhattan are lobbying for carve outs. Also, the private bus industry (which includes tourist buses that drive me nuts) are lobbying for exceptions. They better not get any. — cami on What congestion pricing will look like here

  • Right!! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

  • Hmm -- maybe that's another one? This one is in Tribeca proper... — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

  • Jerrell's is wonderful! — Anna on New Kid up the Street: Jerrell’s BETR BRGR

  • How is the car driver to blame? The scooter operator lost control of his own vehicle (perhaps he did not have antilock brakes) and his body crashed into the side of the car. He did not "get hit" by the car. — James on In the News: E-scooter rider critically injured

  • This is irresponsible journalism in which you are trying to blame the victim, in this case the injured scooter operator. Why do you end the article with the top speed of the scooter? How is that germane? What's the top speed of the car? Why is that not listed? Because you're trying to deflect blame from the driver for some reason. City streets have a 25mph limit so I'm not sure the point besides taking a car-centric viewpoint here. — cd on In the News: E-scooter rider critically injured

  • 65 WEST BROADWAY / 59-61 WARREN "the steel supports on the site — are attached to 57 Warren, above Korin, as a precaution" I'm not so sure how precautionary the supports are, one only needs to stand across the street from Korin and look from the ground floor to the roof between 55 and 57 Warren. The gap between buildings goes from zero to 10 or so inches at the top floor. 57 Warren is definitely leaning into the pit that was 59 Warren. Google street view shows this pretty clearly, as well as the change in the gap from Racoon days till now. The demolition and construction is most definitely the cause. — Pisa on Unfinished business

  • West Broadway and Warren Street — Isabella on Where in Tribeca?

  • No u will go free mta...bulshit u have to pay freaking 23$ and tip and fare...mta freaking killing business...u will see soon — Martoni on What congestion pricing will look like here

  • Their plan is to destroy New York - the New Babylon full of sins. The plan to rebuild the park of course has nothing to do with our safety (they always use this excuse to justify their evil plans). If they raise several shores of Manhattan island they'll really create an ark/a bowl, which will keep the rain and cause more serious flood when they make those man-made artificial storms (oh yeah, they know how to do storms, they have technologies). I guess this is their plan. That's why they already know there will be most serious storms soon. And they need to make sure the flood will look impressive on media - the whole world should see it. — Leyla on The future Wagner Park will get a little greener as of yesterday

  • That is just a renewal permit for the green construction fence that surrounds the site. The site needs to be maintained safely while the project is in limbo. Work is not going to start for a while. — James on Unfinished business

  • In Soho on West Broadway — MME on Where in Tribeca?

  • Re 65 W Broadway/ Warren. I’m very interested in this -having just move here from London and living opposite. Hope we haven’t made a noisy mistake. There has been a little activity on site recently , removing bills from the fence and minor things. But scanning the QR on the building permit suggests a new permit has been issued for construction to start, though I am not the expert on how to interpret the “last action” https://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/JobsQueryByNumberServlet?requestid=1&passjobnumber=121190497 And on 6/16/22 “ NEW BUILDING - CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT - FENCE NEW 10 STORY RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT BUILDING WITH RETAIL USE ON LOWER LEVELS.” https://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/WorkPermitDataServlet?requestid=3&allisn=0003911338&allisn2=0002844317&allbin=1090819&passjobnumber=121190497 Does anyone know if those indicate anything about construction to begin? And by the way, thank you for an excellent local resource! The site is great! — Joe S on Unfinished business

  • Yes, same location where parking lot was. — Ben on An update on the Warren Street Hotel

  • Is this going to be where the parking used to be ? Great add for the neighborhood and for Warren Street!! — Carlo on An update on the Warren Street Hotel

  • What a great space! Too bad I won't be part of it! — Jean Leng on BNY Mellon seeks to eliminate the public lobby space at 240 Greenwich

  • I regularly make a left turn onto Reade from Church and I think it’s probably the most dangerous thing I do now that they moved the bike lane to the west side. The bulb out that was built when the bike lane was built seems to put the part of the bike lane near Chambers into a partial blind spot but the speed that electric bikes and scooters are going allows them to move from there to near the Reade corner in the same amount of time it takes to check that no pedestrians have suddenly started to cross from the north. I’d avoid it entirely but if you need to get to Reade between Hudson and Greenwich from West St, it’s either that corner or the alignment hell of the “cobblestones” on Varick below Canal or Greenwich below Vestry. — N on In the News: E-scooter rider critically injured

  • I've been the lead security guard for the Tin Building. I'm usually at the front, sometimes startling people with a "Hi, welcome!" greeting. To tell everyone person who brings their dogs in, has been a difficult task, and to even enforce it; at this point, when I've told the owners that only service dogs are allowed in, they all say, "well, my dog is a service dog," when clearly their dog isn't. I am taught to not make a scene about it, and I don't stress myself out about it. It makes my job more challenging, but I still love greeting people as they come in! And JG doesn't like paper signs on his windows, but it's my job to work around that. — Michael on First Impressions: The Tin Building

  • Great to have another vegan spot. Thanks for listing. We'll be glad to check it out. — Marcus on New Kid up the Street: Jerrell’s BETR BRGR

  • The dogs are a wonderful addition! — Dana on First Impressions: The Tin Building
