Is it just me or is the Tribeca Film Festival basically in venues not in Tribeca anymore? I think there's only one - I thought this was to help businesses in the Tribeca area? — BC on Seen & Heard: Film festival getting ready

I agree with you, Epic. This sounds like a reasonable and fair plan to apportion their housing to where they are now. Leaving them on the streets is not a solution. I just returned from Denver where the problem was much worse than what we see here. Hopefully the right medical attention and support can get a fair amount of them back on their feet. — Elizabeth on City plans three homeless shelters for downtown

June 22 is a big day - vote these progressives out! Manhattan DA is an important race - Tali Weinstein and Liz Crotty are the only DA candidates concerned about public safety.

So where do you suggest the shelter be located? Who should they live amongst? — Epic on City plans three homeless shelters for downtown

A neighborhood staple gone forever. So many great memories there. So sad to see this. 😢😢😢 When I walk by it I still peer into the door in hopes that maybe, just maybe, some investors realize the diamond it is and invest and save it.

of course homeless families deserve a safe place and housing to get their lives back on track. But, Homeless addicted mentally ill men should not be living amongst us. The shelter on Washington Street will be a disaster to our neighborhood. They bought this property and made a deal with this horror of a mayor. — NATIVE on City plans three homeless shelters for downtown

Anotheroom has been there for about 21 years, so I a recent fish shop is hard no. Lol! — AG on Anotheroom has opened — this time for good

So sickening! This mayor blindsided us!! We are already dealing with crime, mentally ill homelessness. Imagine 3 more places were 100s of men are. We got a huge problem. New York will never come back becoming the next California! So sad and sick when criminals have more rights than our communities. You keep voting in these politicians this is the outcome.

Still miss Sal, who helped open it and passed too soon in 2005. Also Debbie, tough and kind. Then there was Oscar, the chef from one of the islands, who lit lots of candles in the basement when things were slow. Also Rob, the chef from the yacht who went away, then returned. Let's also not forget the Orange Bear, Mitch's Place (now Forgione's), and for the adventuresome in the late '90's and '00's, Dakota Roadhouse on Park Pl. — ER on Tribeca Tavern has closed permanently

These are great memories to read about. I'm a Tribeca resident for 11 years, and went to BMCC from 1994-98, while working full time. I remember the Tribeca of the late 90's well. I loved it so much back then. I love it today, but maybe not as much. it's a lot different. — RPG on Tribeca Tavern has closed permanently

"1995 - October 22 / During breakfast at Leroy’s Coffee Shop, the usually taciturn, elderly waiter, Arthur, revealed something of his provenance. He’s a towering old coot, at least 6’4”, maybe 130 lbs., with an Elvis pompadour and oversize rodent teeth. He told me that at birth he weighed 3 pounds. His dad took him and his twin brother home in a shoebox lined with cotton. Each time he buys shoes he keeps the box to commemorate the oddity of his beginnings." https://tribecacitizen.com/2017/01/16/the-recollections-of-jane-freeman-part-4/ — James on Tribeca Tavern has closed permanently

Dan Alterman mentioned Barnabus. That was Barnabus Rex on Duane- it was a great small dive bar with a pool table. It closed in the early to mid 80's and the people who ran it then opened the North River Bar on Hudson and Hubert. That was a good old-fashioned but large dive bar that lasted into the 90's. — Dave on Tribeca Tavern has closed permanently

The New Yorker, August 16, 1993 P. 25 The Talk of the Town "The Ideal" By Daniel Hurewitz A talk story about the construction of a fake coffee shop in Tribeca for the filming of the movie "Cop Gives Waitress $2 Million Tip." [working title of the 1994 movie "It Could Happen to You"] Richard Baratta explained that they needed to construct a coffee shop because they needed one with removable walls. Mentions LeRoy's Coffee Shop, directly across the street. LeRoy's was apparently considered for the role of the Ideal Coffee Shop--along with 3,999 other local coffee shops--but the movie people decided the place was too narrow. LeRoy's might still get a part, though. "They came to me the other day and asked me if, with compensation, I would mind changing the sign on my awning, which says' Coffee Shop,'" Herb David, LeRoy's owner says. "They want to call it a tavern. They said, 'Of course, you'll be compensated for it.' I said, 'Fine.'" https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1993/08/16/the-ideal-2 — James on Tribeca Tavern has closed permanently
