  • I'm not a nasty, rude, or bitter person, you have no clue what kind of person I am & you don't know me either, you Zona shill. Mary Ann's people opened Zona? Ok then how 'bout they be a good neighbor like they were years ago when it was Mary Ann's, not a bad one during a pandemic with their rude, loud, obnoxious, maskless, less than six feet apart customers making noise past 11pm an hour after closing time (which means Zona is open well past 10pm thus breaking the law.) Shame on them for behaving in such a way that they can spread the virus & possibly gave Zona staff the virus. Bottom line is Zona is the least behaved place on Greenwich Street. Idiots dancing on the tables. Enclosed curbside where it much as well be indoors. Btw I'm calling out Zona management not the kitchen or waitstaff for not regulating their idiot customers you dolt. You sound like a Trump supporter running your mouth about Cuomo, how restaurants are being killed but not people, all about business etc. Business over lives with you. Blame both parties? Nah, Republicans are to blame entirely. Democrats wanted 2.2T then Republicans countered with an insulting 1.8T then half that. Yeah I hate Trump because he's a racist bigot who has taken x amount more lives with this pandemic with his gross neglience, what of it? I hate Republicans because not only do they fall in lockstep with this site loser but 126 of them in the House want to overturn the election, what of it? They hate me, I hate them. Time iberals, progressives & Democrats take off the gloves - I'm one of them. The crime is not real and downtown is perfectly safe. Every major crime is down save murder & burgulary. There have been 426 murders in NYC through December 6th up from 305 same time last year buy still far below the 649 murders in 1998 & 629 murders in 2001 under Giuliani. Crine in those years was much higher than 2020 with 500M-1M less people back then (less in 98 than 01). So by your logic NYC was much more dangerous then. Math doesn't lie so how 'bout you stop lying in the face of it? As for burgulary, expected when businesses close & people move away. But you keep trying to traffic on fear with your ridiculous NYC is dangerous like 1970-95 again nonsense. Leave your house sonetime, too, and try not to go a place which doesn't let people tap maskless less than six feet apart like Zona. Whole Foods & Target are open because they can afford to be yes, but like 'em or not they are essential businesses whose TriBeCa locations employ dozens of New Yorkers. Takeout costs the same as done in. Buy booze from a place along with takeout. You can still eat outside. Some places have heaters. Bundle up. I take out, pick up, done outside & tip well all...the...time. I just bought a ten ounce hot chocolate from Jack's on Reade for $6.10 & tipped $3. I tip at least $5 on every order over that & give a top equal to an item under $5 e.g. $2 toasted bagel with cream cheese? $2 tip, $3 regular slice, $3 tip & so don't lecture me about supporting lical biz. — Hopefully Gone-A on Zona Tribeca closes for covid cases

  • Hopefully Gone, you nasty rude person. I guess your an bitter customer. Get your facts straight Maryann's is Zona. Same people. Secondly, how dare you mention Trump, the election and what news I watch. You assume I am a Trump supporter? LMAO , I am coming after you on here by responding? You have issues. You calling costumers " idiots". Shame on you. I know exactly the type of person you are. We all get the Citizen App Alerts and hear the 911 calls on it also. The Crime is real!!! Downtown isn't safe anymore. You do not know me! Secondly, Zona staff are hard working people just trying to pay their bills. We all are supporting our local businesses down here and all around the city. New York City has followed all the rules. Takeout doesn't cut it to keep our businesses open. Blame both parties for not passing the stimulus bill you hater. But big stores continue to stay open. You have no idea who is sick in Wholefoods, Target etc! Please give me a break. — New York on Zona Tribeca closes for covid cases

  • First off, it is a new addition. I could care less if it's Mary Ann's under a new name and/or under MA ownership. If either or both they have not been a good neighbor like MA was. And I could care less that you're a customer or how long you've lived here, both mean nothing. BTW get your gripe straight as it was Yaffa Cafe, Mary Ann's & Dahlia (all three good neighbors) in that order before Zona which has zero connection to any of three save it's in the same space. Second I am not rude, Zona is rude with their loud mostly maskless customers they don't say pipe down to. They should close on time but do not or did you read the article? Or you're coming after me cuz you don't have the guts to come after TC? I seriously doubt they get info for contact tracing but if they do good. You are too much of a booster of this place for me to believe it with your "we are out by 10pm" like you should get a medal for it. Greenwich Street has plenty of life with Gigino's & L'Angolo, Duane Reade & Benevuto Cafe, Estanica 460, Azuba & Paisley, Yves & Locanda Verde, Gee Whiz, Washington Market Park etc. Zona is one problem place on the street. They're the one I've seen people yell & act like idiots at & cop cars go to. Now it's the one place which had a covid case possibly more & possibly more & not surprising as they don't enforce masks & social distancing at all & cram in as many people as possible. BTW why do they get two curbside dining areas? Special? Restaurants on corners should get more seating? UNFAIR. I will call 911 not 911 if/when I witness crime. I blame NYPD First Precinct for not having a presence or walking the beat. I will blame Trump & the 53 obstructionist do nothing Senate Republicans for not passing another stimulus bill better than the first one. Cuomo lowered the infection rate so we're down to fourth in the nation & well behind many fat less populated states since late spring. Yes 74% caused by too many people in private homes. So restaurants would only increase the rate hence the lockdown - are you this dense in real life? There's this great thing called takeout for delivery & pickup & tip well. Also drinking at home - try both sometime. During a pandemic from a deadly disease with no vaccine for anyone but those who need it first or cure for the foreseeable future. And you can still eat & drink outside - just bundle up. If not again take out & tip well. There is no huge rise in crime downtown or especially in this neighborhood. Put down the New York Post, turn off 77 WABC & Fox News, get over Trump lost, deal with the lockdown restaurants have contributed to, and open your eyes and ears. My life is more important than your damn night out eating & drinking, ok? Sorry not sorry I think the immediate area businesses should be tested cuz of the case/s at Zona. — Hopefully Gone-A on Zona Tribeca closes for covid cases

  • I’m also replying to Hopefully Gone. Those lousy customers you called out are actually your neighbors That are kindly trying to support their local business. I seriously doubt that Zona is the only restaurant going through this. At least Zona is trying to do the right thing by following State Protocols by closing and having everyone tested before reopening. I’m just wondering how many places are open up and running right now knowing that someone from their staff has been exposed ? Thank you Zona for being transparent!! Good luck 🍀 — Not today on Zona Tribeca closes for covid cases

  • I am replying to Hopefully Gone. Zona is not a " New addition" If you live here for many years you would know that. It was originally Maryann's has been here many years. I think you are rude In saying they do not follow the rules. They do follow the " contact tracing rules'". It is always closed on Time. I am a steady customer. I live here in Tribeca 30 years. By 10pm we are out. Even outside getting the staff gives you the bill to pay before 10pm. At least Greenwich street has some life! Its so scary to walk around at night with assaults everywhere down here. You should call 311 for that. Please call on the crime around our neighborhood not on businesses that are trying to survive this horrible time. Blame your elected officials for the crime . Cuomo spoke the other day, restaurants and bars are have 0.1 affect and staying home with family and friends 74 percent the cause of infection from Covid19. Restaurants and bars are trying so hard to make it. Zona did nothing wrong. They spent thousands on ventilation and outdoor. Stop calling on our businesses and focus on the huge up rise in crime downtown. — New York on Zona Tribeca closes for covid cases

  • All of this because a lady wanted to have her children tested? Man up. Grow up. Be a gentleman. Be kind to others. Show children how to be nice. I bet your mom would be embarrassed. — Ted on And so it begins…again.

  • Not surprised. They basically built an indoor structure on the street, defeating the entire purpose of outdoor dining. I am surprised they passed a DOT inspection. — JVZ on Zona Tribeca closes for covid cases

  • Marker about "Mother African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church" embedded in the sidewalk at the corner of Leonard and Church Streets — James on Where in Tribeca?

  • Lively? Try a horrible new addition to the neighborhood. Lousy (like their customers) food too - how do you mess up a vegetarian burrito? Do they even make people give their information for contact tracers? Does anyone around here? For the safety of the neighborhood every business open to the public within at least a three block radius of Zona should have all their employees tested for covid. Definitely/at least test people at the places this infected person told the CTs they went to. — Hopefully Gone-A on Zona Tribeca closes for covid cases
