  • As a Murray Street resident, I am totally PUMPED for this nee addition! Love their product.. — Bynorthemore on Bluestone Lane opens tomorrow at former BPC LPQ

  • Attending this thing, but I notice that the chat is disabled, which does not bode well for having NY Law School convene anything at all. — Lynn Ellsworth on New York Law School will host panel on Tribeca’s future Wednesday

  • Why did NY Law School refuse to give us (Tribeca Trust) free or just low cost meeting space to organize the community on public space issues? They instead wanted thousands of dollars from us, which we paid, once, stupidly. Never again. It appears that unless they control something, they don't want part of it. If they were so community friendly, why do they not engage in charitable sharing of their meeting spaces? Look, it is very hard to organize anything in Tribeca without meeting space that is not tied to someone who wants something. We have no "town hall". I suggest Tribecans organize instead in a way that would allow al residents equal voice, on a one-person, one vote basis. — Lynn Ellsworth on New York Law School will host panel on Tribeca’s future Wednesday

  • What do they want? A BID? Why? Bids are undemocratic and overweight commercial interests over those of residents. Why would we as residents be interested in the leadership of this school whose history as a neighbor to our historic districts has been disastrous. Or maybe they are after a rezoning, like happened with the BID in SoHo. — Lynn Ellsworth on New York Law School will host panel on Tribeca’s future Wednesday

  • Sorry, folks, but there are other organizations out there who represent interests of Tribeca residents. New York Law School has historically NOT been a good neighbor in Tribeca - refusing to allow its properties into the historic districts and imposing for its own benefit that high-rise Jenga building, towering over our historic districts. And, as I recall, when we tried to do a bit of a plaza in Finn Square, NYLS posed more of an obstacle than a hindrance. So heads up neighbors, NY Law School does NOT represent the interests of Tribecans, nor small businesses in Tribeca. And BIDS are historically extremely undemocratic organizations that are a bad fit for a residential neighborhood like Tribeca. — Lynn Ellsworth on Open Letter: New York Law School wants to help the neighborhood move forward

  • Welcome to the neighborhood! Love the coffee and avo smash. — A on Bluestone Lane opens tomorrow at former BPC LPQ

  • How cool it would be to live on Toni Morrison’s previous home. — j. on In the News: Toni Morrison’s apartment sells

  • Love the food at this place. Good to see it pop up down here. — Jon on Bluestone Lane opens tomorrow at former BPC LPQ

  • I’ve always found their cafes very aesthetically lovely. This will be a nice addition. — j. on Bluestone Lane opens tomorrow at former BPC LPQ

  • So now you have moved on to making wild charges about me, K and the fire department. For the record I am a long time neighborhood resident with no affiliation to Tiny’s, I am not even much of a patron there, the menu is a little eclectic for my tastes, though I did enjoy the oyster platter if they still have it. The idea that this “tiny” business has the financial resources to pay off the fire department is laughable. All I am saying is we don’t know what is going on and the fire department is on it and I trust them to do their jobs and deal with it. — Reademan on Challah Dolly x Tiny’s + matzo ball soup on Fridays

  • You have to live or work in the district to be a member of any community board. The district includes Tribeca, BPC, Fidi and the Civic Center/Seaport. — Tribeca Citizen on CB1 thwarts plans for a sports bar at 41 Murray

  • what a wonderful update!!! I love their sandwiches and cookies and can't wait to visit when they reopen! — Erica on Cafe Clementine finds a new Tribeca home on Greenwich and Duane

  • Kudos. I’m pretty sure that the majority of Cb1 DON’T even live in the neighborhood. — Dan on CB1 thwarts plans for a sports bar at 41 Murray

  • To me, and I’m certain to anyone who lives in our neighborhood, these K and especially Reademan comments are obviously being written by Tiny’s owner or someone affiliated with them since there is no rhyme or reason for anyone else to want or need to defend scofflaws like the owners who have no conscience or concern for the terrible havoc and tragedy they can wreak on our block and the surrounding area. Anyone here that is defending them is not just doing it as a fan of their food and because they “enjoy occasionally dining at Tiny’s,” you can be sure of that. Does Reademan they think we are idiots even defending Smith and Mills? What a joke! They are trying to cover up actual facts about how negligent, rude and vile these people are. If you look at the amount of violations they have (the link above shows them very clearly) it is quite staggering. Complaints 26 Violations-DOB 8 Violations-OATH/ECB 13 Jobs/Filings 23 ARA / LAA Jobs 0 Total Jobs 23 Actions 12 Obviously even the pictures showing the fires in Tiny’s fireplace don’t seem to be enough for these phony Tiny’s defenders, which to me is quite bizarre and proves they are coming from Tiny's people. After seeing the pictures and the violations, any sane person living in the area would be more concerned with trying to keep it safe while these other people (or one person with several phony IDs ) are coming up with ridiculous excuses for a restaurant that might burn down the neighborhood in the future. Even more staggering is the feeling that many of us have that they may be paying off the fire department and/or inspectors since they have not gotten stopped, punished or even closed down for all of the fires that began in their fireplace. G-d only knows what else goes on in there. These things can happen, of course, but anyone that cared about their neighbors, the businesses and the buildings near them would have done something to stop this before it turns into a tragedy. BTW, bringing up their offenses at their other locations clearly shows that they run all of their restaurants the same way - with apathy, indifference and no common decency for their neighbors. For the rest of the people replying here, you may hope they are around for a long time but the rest of us would be quite happy if they left since they have no desire or compunction to ever do the right thing. This is clearly a terrible tragedy waiting to happen and the other phonies who are writing here obviously have a vested interest in taking attention away from these terrible people. — Mrs. Chanusha on Challah Dolly x Tiny’s + matzo ball soup on Fridays

  • "From 1985 until 1995, Alan Bridge ran a toll-free telephone 'apology line' where callers could dial and leave a taped anonymous confession. Many called to apologize for small mistakes or indiscretions, a few for terrible acts. 'I want to apologize,' said one caller with a thick accent, 'but wen I was in Israel for six months, I killed Arabs at night with a gang of other Jewish settlers.' By the time of his death in 1995, Bridge was receiving around 100 calls a day. "Bridge was killed in the water by a jet skier who was never identified. Reportedly he was seen circling back to Bridge's body, before taking off for good. Bridge's wife Marissa insisted that had her husband survived, he would have forgiven the person who hit him. "To claim that Bridge was a 'victim of noise' or 'a martyr for civility' might seem overblown, but that's how I tend to think of him. If his project seems dubious, that only serves to confirm what I feel. Not even Charles Komanoff could come up with a formulation to compute the social benefit of a work of art so radically quiet it could do nothing but listen. Were I to write a novel called 'Loud America' in which a character named Mr. Apology was struck and killed by a jet ski, reviewers would pan it for 'hitting people over the head with heavy-handed symbolism.' But this didn't happen in a novel; it happened off Long Island, the only person who got hit in the head was Alan Bridge. He was 50 years old." [This long passage is from Garret Keizer's 2010 book, "The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want: A Book About Noise," p. 189. A page or two earlier, Keizer reported on my work quantifying the noise-annoyance costs of jet skis. I was also the tipster who told him about Mr. Apology.] — Komanoff on Apologies, collected from Tribeca in the ’80s

  • Open the city up and remove the curfews. These places wouldn’t even exist anymore. — Rick on More illegal parties at 1 Harrison

  • Yes, update here. They are not closing. — Tribeca Citizen on In the News: The Roxy and Soho Grand owner is tossing in towel

  • Beyond all the concerns noted, there is only one narrow staircase in the house with no secondary egress. With 120 people this is a disaster should fire occur. NYFD has jurisdiction to shut it down. — Wayne Burkey on More illegal parties at 1 Harrison

  • Hopefully, little damage. Very sweet house built 1810, but it's a woodframe house with a brick front. Probably best to not use fireplace. — Wayne Burkey on Seen & Heard: Amazon returns at Whole Foods

  • R. I'm sorry to hear that you were the subject of another's racist ramblings. As an Asian American woman raised in the Midwest, who has traveled to every state in the USA, as well as extensively abroad, I can certainly relate. But the race of the person uttering those awful words is irrelevant. There are racist people of every race and creed, including in the Asian American community. I hope, as you wrote your comment, that you asked yourself if you've done enough to stand up for other vulnerable communities, including the Black community/BLM. Perhaps you have, but your comment seems to indicate otherwise. Surely those who look at Black people as the problem can understand that people look at Asians in the same way...and the cycle continues. Division is what makes it easier for all people of color to be victimized. We must stand up not only for our own community but also for all vulnerable communities... Black people, Muslims, Jews, LGBTQ, indigenous people, Latinx.....you get my drift. Peace to you. — Kimberly M. Wang on Asian hate crimes, on our doorstep

  • For those who are ready and willing to make the effort to learn more about the history of violence and racism against Asian Americans, and are wanting to take a deeper dive to find ways to help support our incredibly diverse community, I would suggest checking out this NYMag article. The best selling Korean American novelist R.O. Kwon also wrote a piece for Vanity Fair that is well worth a read for all allies and accomplices, despite its title: A Letter To My Fellow Asian American Women. https://www.thecut.com/2021/03/atlanta-spa-shooting-how-to-help-where-to-donate.html — Kimberly M.

  • Thank you for sharing @TribecaMom I'd not seen this and have now shared this on my social media platforms, as well. — Kimberly M. Wang on Asian hate crimes, on our doorstep

  • I think because One WTC is supposed to be sort of America's ultimate skyscraper, so if they built a second, it would lower the value that we place on One WTC. If we have a real 2 WTC, it would help in finishing the new WTC family. — Noah on In the News: Revamped design for Two World Trade
