Thanks Pam for following-up on this. Spot on in terms of this violating the indoor smoking/vaping ban and, potentially, restrictions on sales. Any thoughts as to what CB1 will have to say/terms of the liquor license? No coincidence they took down the sign after the previous post. Hopefully this draws more attention to this place… to think some commenters were saying this was just CBD drops!! — Concerned on Highgarden added to Greca?

We loved Mulberry and Vine but there was one very not polite person working there with piercing. and she seemed so turned off by the people ordering. She was hasty and not so welcoming and it happened twice to me and my family until I said no more. So important for restaurants/ to go places to really be kind to patrons. — Reade it on Mulberry & Vine has closed permanently

Too bad it had to close. That was a sweet spot. — j. on Mulberry & Vine has closed permanently

Sure, gifting arguably is permitted in public. But this is a flagrant violation of the lease terms, the law, and their liquor license. This isn’t an abstract concern, and there’s a reason you don’t see this all over the city. Go ahead, name anywhere else this is happening in a restaurant or bar legally. I’ll wait… — Concerned on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Hahah there are sooo many Karens in Tribeca these days its ridic. Live a little people, its New York. — Karen on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Have you seen the place at night? Everybody in the neighborhood loves Greca, but there's absolutely zero chance what they're doing after 4:20PM, when Highgarden opens, is legal. Whatever goodwill they've built up over the years, as others note, is going to diminish rapidly. Even businesses we like have to abide by the rules. Related will likely kick them out whenever their lease is up (if they aren't already fighting about it) and nobody will want them as a tenant. — person on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Check out their website. Few examples: - neon DABS sign at the bar, pictures of patrons hitting dabs (concentrated THC hit with a blowtorch) - grinding marijuana into joints - advertising free gifts for entry fees and “high gravity” bongs — Concerned on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Here is an example of how the conversion of office buildings to residential hurt(s) our neighborhood. I'm not saying it is bad, just an example of why retail finds it difficult to survive in a neighborhood that is not densely populated (which we generally favor), and not always "greedy landlords". — G on Mulberry & Vine has closed permanently

Would recommend you check the instagram, selling dabs of hash oil at the bar? Bong hits? Come on now.. — Concerned on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Related?? The company that has been kicking tenants out of the apartment complex next door so they can continue wreaking havoc with their non-stop construction? — Not Annoyed on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Drug lounge?? Far from it. More like my favorite local lunch spot. Baffling the energy some will take to try and tear down a small business instead of supporting it. — Not Annoyed on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

@Concerned - Go to Washington square park and night of the week. You will see people with folding tables handing out marijuana in public (not those that have been selling in the shadows for decades, normal people in broad public) and the cops are also there observing. It is actually legal to gift and consume marijuana in public. That’s beside the point. Greca IS a staple for the younger generation that has enjoyed moving to Tribeca after the office-committed families left for larger, more spacious living out of the city. The youthful cohorts have kept “your” restaurants alive over the last 2 years and will continue to for the foreseeable future. It’s time to get on board. This isn’t the Gilded Age. — Not Bothered on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Infusing drinks with CBD is not the same thing as opening a cannabis dispensary, or operating a “drug den”. I would recommend yoga or meditation. — Unconcerned on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Doesn’t matter how profitable it is or isn’t. In the State of NY this is illegal. No one will insure this, no landlord will permit this under current lease terms, no bank will process their payments. Fun fact: in order to even qualify for one of the first 100 licenses that will be granted later this year you or your family needs to have been convicted of a marijuana-related offense. There’s a HUGE line here and this guy is trying to skip it Related will not be happy once they learn what this guy is doing… — Concerned on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

“Staple” or not, one cannot just decide to open a drug lounge in a quiet, residential street. 100% illegal in the city and state of NY right now — Concerned on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Consumption is legal. Sales are not (yet) without a license. The State of NY has not yet allocated licenses for recreational sale, so anyone selling is violating the law and definitely the terms of their liquor license. All those photos and videos from instagram showing sales are a TERRIBLE look and disrespectful. Lots of entrepreneurs are patiently waiting their turn to sell legally, there isn’t some special dispensation for this guy to skip the line, especially in an upscale residential neighborhood with high disposable income and real estate values. It’s anyone’s guess if our CB will even (or should) signoff on this kind of biz in the neighborhood, as well as what the City of NY’s rules will be in terms of proximity to schools, parks, etc.. After pointing this out, the sign is off the front door! Go figure… — Concerned on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Sadly, how long until this CVS is a victim of stealing?. I wish them good luck and hope they have good security. — Sara Ross on Seen & Heard: CVS is open

There's a real lag with Google -- so you won't be able to search it for a while. I've updated the post and the draft website is here. — Tribeca Citizen on New Kid on the Block: Warren Peace

Greca is one of the STAPLES of the Tribeca community. Throughout the past two years of mandated closures due to covid & HEAVY construction (talk about loud noises at all hours of the night), the owner and staff have been nothing but kind & gracious to any neighborhood friend walking in. In what has been a tough environment for any restaurant/small business owner in NYC, I would think a more understanding approach is warranted! — Not Annoyed on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Everyone relax, there's no "drug culture" permeating the streets of northwest Tribeca. Sure - Greca has brought youthful energy to that block. If the music is thumping beyond whats legally allowed that's one thing, but I don't see an issue otherwise. It's a business making money, and Tom deserves the right to provide to willing customers. Between the Greek and Greca he's brought beyond his fair share of goodwill to that neighborhood over the years. Due to Covid he had to adapt and make some changes for the survival of his business. Chill out! — Unconcerned on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

It is legal to consume marijuana. Let them live, Karen! — Patron on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

Pretty sure it's still run by Tom or at least his family, and they just pivoted to running a club / weed store because it's more profitable? — Annoyed on American Whiskey has closed after a decade on Franklin

I have to go by again to check! There's nothing online... Stay tuned. — Tribeca Citizen on New Kid on the Block: Warren Peace
