Yeah the traffic around the holland tunnel, canal, hudson, etc. is a disaster and extremely dangerous for pedestrians. It's common to see families with strollers and children weaving through traffic in order to cross the street when they have the right of way. The city needs to have police not just directing traffic, but ticketing drivers who block the box and who honk for no reason (both are illegal). Better yet, install cameras and do it automatically. — person on Seen & Heard: Action at Little Park
I have tried repeatedly to contact traffic police Re Saturday traffic on Canal and have not gotten a response. It would appear they simply don’t work Saturdays. 1st Precinct said it wasn’t their problem. Horrible dangerous to cross street. — Marla on Seen & Heard: Action at Little Park

Had she attempted to lure my little dog into the street..I would be in jail..and she would think twice about doing something like that again. — BoldGold on Citizen dog police harassing neighbors again — with bile
Is CVS still opening next year? — Jason on CVS’ expanding footprint in the neighborhood
Exactly. The rents for these commercial spaces must re align so that they are able to be supported by customers and foot traffic else they will remain empty. — Rohin on This is getting depressing.
Often called an architrave. — James on Where in Tribeca?
It's 52 Warren aka 122 Chambers Street. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?
Because nothing says "vital, energetic neighborhood" like brown paper and graffiti covered plywood. Do you have an idea about how the empty storefronts should be used? Or do you just want to complain about someone else not having an idea. — Tim Farrell on This is getting depressing.

Probably my favorite restaurant downtown. — Alan on Viet Café will reopen in November
Oh wow, sorry! I guess I missed that one. Just wanted to say the sign is up, lights are on and beds are inside. — T on Some recent openings and good news on the horizon
So sad--never a bad meal there. There are a lot of really nice restaurants in the hood that serve very good food. But this place was always in the "very, very tasty" category. — cami on Viet Café will reopen in November
I think Paris Cafe might be reopening. — TribecaMom on After 147 years at the Seaport, The Paris Café is closing for good
Agree it's sad, please help me re-open Cafe Clementine! I’m Josh Greenberg and both the landlord of 325 Greenwich Street and I also live in the building and have fallen in love with the neighborhood, you can find me everyday walking my Mini Aussie June around the block. Firstly just want to give my assurances that I dealt extremely personally and compassionately with the prior retail tenants. Unfortunately they were paying rents that were too low to even cover the mortgage and taxes on the property, the only reason the prior landlord was able to keep the rents so low was he had no mortgage and he was also as you saw spending zero dollars on the property and letting it fall apart. I’m spending hundreds of thousands to restore the beautiful facade to it’s turn of the century beauty. I assure you all I did everything I could for these prior tenants (including payments and free rent) to help out Sasha (cornerstone), Yvonne (dudleys), Frank (myoptics) and Donna (Tribeca Wines). Yvonne was especially hard for me as a dog owner and a dog lover, one of the hardest things I’ve hard to do in my 15 years in this business. I did my best though to handle gently and I would be surprised if any had bad words to say about my delicacy with the situation and what I did to help them. Anyways, we need your help now to get Cafe Clementine open! Their plans are 100% approved by DOB and then when we went to pull permit it was blocked by the NYC Loft Board of all agencies. Of course the building legalization has NOTHING to do with Clementine and it is an extremely long and arduous process sometimes taking up to 30 years, so coming out of this pandemic is just not the time or place for this. Please reach out to Kevin Schultz at the Loft Board and show your support for Rosa and Juan of Cafe Clementine: KSchultz@buildings.nyc.gov. Please! We’re so close! Much love to this beautiful neighborhood and thank you all! Josh — Josh on This is getting depressing.
So sad. And nowhere will I be able to find those vegetarian crab cakes, they were so delicious . Well unless I go to East Hampton . Big loss to TriBeCa — Charlie L on Viet Café will reopen in November
Tribeca has high rents yet little foot traffic. — Manhattanmommie on This is getting depressing.
This is really nice - i'm glad they are allowing a mixture of goodlooking design and respect for the existing architecture. We need to respect the past but not get stuck in it — Brian on Three more stories coming to 50 Hudson
noooooo!!!! that has been one of my go-to's since it opened! I have friends from Malaysia who when they are in town have Vietcafe on their list - it's that good! best of luck to Lan..x — urban cowgirl on Viet Café will reopen in November
Saw the door open yesterday afternoon and wandered over to see if they were hopefully starting the process of re-opening but realized it was a locksmith changing the locks. — Chris on Viet Café will reopen in November
NYPD. c'mon! you have GOT to be kidding me. there is "lord of the flies" gridlock traffic every saturday to get in the holland tunnel with not an officer in sight to direct cars. I suppose they are too busy sitting in front of le pain checking seatbelts (?) — urban cowgirl on Seen & Heard: Action at Little Park
Exactly right. — Tribeca Citizen on Viet Café will reopen in November
It is the EMFs that kill those trees. They are too close to the substation. A thicker wall would not help. They need to be further from the station and not alot, a few feet could make a huge difference. — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: Friends gather at City Hall Park
