He was my PCP for the last year. I always thought he was honest and kind. He always came back to me quickly when the lab results came back and told me what to do next. I'm going to miss seeing him. — Michael Lee on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Does Tribeca battery park city and Fidi have a downtown organization that can advocate for our small businesses and community centers? We should start fund raising and supporting each other. How can we start one? Do we go to city hall or the community board meetings and rally for financial assistances for our community’s business — Sandra on Local Business Update: Manhattan Youth and Downtown Community Center

They’re taking it home to their workshop, it’s clear. They’ll fix it up there, then they’ll bring it back here. — The Green One on Seen & Heard: The latest at Warren 77

Wonder why Matt's rep say they'd be reopening? Were they lying or just lying? — Keke on Seen & Heard: The latest at Warren 77

Glad to see them back. Love their sandwiches! — Jason on Puffy’s opens today (!) for drinks and sandwiches

I am so saddened by Dr. Quraishi's passing. He has been my Dr. since he had his office on Greenwich Street, and I followed him to NYU Langone because I trusted him and liked him. He was such an elegant and wonderful, wonderful man, so caring, warm and always professional. I had pneumonia in October, and he actually called me from his home to ask about my health. I was shocked, and moved. He always called with test results, but I never expected him to call from his home. I despair at thinking of him suffering. I will miss seeing him. — Joan Scherman on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Any news on Cafe Clementine? — Donny on Puffy’s opens today (!) for drinks and sandwiches

Also, Weatherup had a stand out front for cocktails to go last week. — paul on Puffy’s opens today (!) for drinks and sandwiches

I'm so sad to hear of the loss of such a gentle and humble man. Dr Quraishi has been my doctor for only 1 year but in that time I've come to have great respect for him. I'm truly going to miss him. My deepest sympathies to his family, staff and patients. May God grant him a place in his gardens in paradise. Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Illahi Raji'oon. — Zameer Mohamad on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Dr. Quraishi was my doctor for almost 20 years. I am so sadden by this news. He was so calming and had a human touch. My deepest condolences to his family, and friends. Thank you Dr. Quraishi for everything. — Anonymous on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

We LOVED their food!!! The employees there were amazing and the quality and the food was Outstanding! The convenience of having them in TriBeCa will absolutely be missed!! — Jill on Schnipper’s has closed for good

Crazy that Ruth chris steakhouse can get money but such an integral place like MY can’t. — Please Stay! on Local Business Update: Manhattan Youth and Downtown Community Center

Their food was really good, but I don’t think there was a single time we went there that the order wasn’t somehow screwed up. Simple stuff, not special orders. Order a salad, get a different one you didn’t order. Want two orders of fries? Get one or three. Chicken sandwich? Nope, two burgers. It was just constant. You’d have to literally disassemble the bag before you left the store to figure out what was wrong. Gave up on them. — BobR on Schnipper’s has closed for good

We went a couple of times and it was mostly empty and not tasty enough for us to keep patronizing. Covid aside, I wonder if they just had too much space. — cami on Schnipper’s has closed for good

In case you haven’t noticed, lots of windows of storefronts have been broken(more than “normal”). There’s almost zero police around. While some of this is par for the course of city living, no one living here benefits from the situation getting worse. There’s still a lot of us in this neighborhood that couldn’t retreat to a hideaway and it would be nice to wake up to less broken glass (and piss, but that’s not going to happen covid or not) — Your high horse on A New York First: The subways closed at night

This is such a devastating news! He was my doctor for 25 years, the only one I have had in adulthood. He was always such a humble man, and always willing to engage in health discussions. I followed him from his private practice to NYU Langone, the only reason why I went there. He was fatherly and caring, and always gave me the gift of calm during my worst health crises. I would like to tell his family that it was truly wonderful having him as a doctor. I am a bit lost now because I have known him most of my adult life. I don’t think I’d find another doctor like him. But thank you and thank you for being so kind, Dr. Quraishi! — Bino Realuyo on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Very sad to read the letter from Langone today. Dr. Quraishi was my gp for almost 20 years, He took time, asked questions and listened. I was always warmed by the gentleness and warmth in his voice and the encouragement he offered at visits. I also appreciated that he called back to discuss test results--until the mylangone system started send me correspondence. A fine man and a great loss to his family, all of us patients and to the medical profession. He really knew how to give medical CARE. — brian Dworkin on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

I am really hoping MY can survive (along with Church Street School of Music). These places are so important for our community and really play a big role in our children's lives. — JC on Local Business Update: Manhattan Youth and Downtown Community Center

I'm very saddened to hear of his passing, I have been seeing him for 9 years and he was an excellent doctor and an even kinder man. RIP — mike on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

It is so difficult to find doctors that you trust and a doctor who makes you feel at ease. My condolences to his family and NYU doctors. — Lorraine R Pettie on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74
