You are disgusting Stay home and stop spreading the virus without a mask And shame Tribeca Citizen for promoting this arse — Peter Kent on A man, a bike and an empty city

To: Hmmmm and Mmmm..hmmmm...: I can see why you’d think I paid for this feature. The comments are warm, and complimentary and kind. And, I too, am skeptical of most of what I read on social media. I get irritated when something is presented as one thing, and turns out to be another. So, I get it. But the post is not ‘sponsored’ and the comments are real. They just happen to be shared by clients I’ve photographed, or friends I know from living downtown for the better part of my adult life. It's worth noting that everyone I photograph becomes a friend--if they weren’t already one to start with. I’m fortunate that they feel so free to say nice things about me, as I do about them. When I re-shared Pam’s post which so concisely lays out the info about my class and how to register, (thanks Pam!) people I adore noticed, and they then took the time to support my effort, to support others, by leaving kind comments. A lot of us small business owners have been hit hard by Covid-19, and have yet to receive any aid—despite our efforts. Others who work for corps have been laid off and have no idea how they'll support themselves and their families. But we’re doing everything we can to give each other shout outs, and spread positivity around wherever we can, because we don’t know what the future holds, and we don’t know how long it will take to recover from what will surely become an even more severe recession. We’re all trying to adapt to this new world order. Last: Pam Frederick/Tribeca Citizen obviously doesn’t need me to defend her. She’s a veteran journalist and educator and she’s already posted her response here. But, I know her well enough to know that she’d never try to pass off a sponsored post as an editorial one. And I appreciate the hard work she puts into Tribeca Citizen. She consistently goes out of her way to support her neighbors and those who make this place special. I couldn’t be more grateful. — Kimberly M. Wang on Local photographer offers free webinar to benefit relief efforts

I am devastated. I heart goes out to his family and all that loved him dearly. He was a kind, caring, loving doctor who helped me when I needed his care most. I will miss him dearly. May he Rest In Peace. — Yosef Seifu on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Yeah, let's make it even harder for vehicles to navigate this city. Meanwhile, you know what I want? I want the arrogant bike riders to obey their bike lane traffic signals, especially at the Houston St. entrance to pier 40. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Staying safe in local parks: What you can expect

Preach! — Ivan on Starbucks has both closings (for good) and openings

I am shocked and saddened by this news. Thank you Dr.Quraishi for being my doctor for 30 years. Thank you for taking such good care of me all those years and then taking care of my husband too. Thank you. May you Rest In Peace. And I wish love and peace to your family. — Judy Scuffle on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

I am terribly saddened by this. I had been seeing him for 15 years and was always impressed by what a fine man and doctor he was. A real doctor with bed side manner and very wise. He was honest and had tremendous values. My thoughts go out to his family. My heart hurts for them. Sacha Miller — sacha miller on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Where are you Sophie's Cuban Cuisine and Mariachi's? — Step Up on Los Tacos No. 1 will open tomorrow!

I wish they would open a lane on the westside highway for bikes and make the bike lane a jogging lane. It would give us families and walkers space to walk . And since joggers and bikers don't wear mask it would keeps us safer. — toni on Staying safe in local parks: What you can expect

I would venture to say that if Cuomo or anyone had stockpiled several million face masks and 30,000 ventilators (@ avg $35k a piece), and then had never used them, critics like you would complain about wasting tax money. It's so easy to be a critic... not so easy to be a leader. Were we prepared for this?... no! America wasn't prepared. Not Cuomo...he's handling it as best he can. AMERICA WASN'T PREPARED.. and we still aren't...Watch what happens in Georgia in 3 weeks or so. Agree with Rose... stop with the negativity. — Someone's Got To Say it on Seen & Heard: The flyover and a city that’s unimpressed

I am so saddened by the news of Dr. Quraishi's passing. As my doctor for years, he was a steady source of comfort in my life. I relished his "serious" expressions when he tried to talk sense to me. I always listened. He made me smile. He cared for me. I always felt it. I wish to send peace and blessings to his family. We lost a great man. — Christine on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

I am so sad...he was my husband's and my primary for over a decade. Kind, thoughtful, warm and spiritual. May he rest in peace and God bless his family. — MJ Carter on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

I called 311 to ask that question - they sell household supplies, which makes them essential. Their Broadway store is also open. — A. on Seen & Heard: Maman will start deliveries to Tribeca

I can't tell you who the commenters are -- any more than I know who you are -- but I follow Kimberly on Instagram, since she takes a lot of pictures of the neighborhood. She posted there that she was offering this free webinar. It sounded like useful and good news to me. In fact, I believe the Friends of Duane Park already signed up. — Tribeca Citizen on Local photographer offers free webinar to benefit relief efforts

Thank you, Dr. Quraishi, for being my doctor for more than 30 years. I am greatly saddened by your death. Thanks to the many persons who have written here I am getting to know you better.

Dr Quraishi has been my primary care doctor for over 10 years. Great man and an excellent physician. Condolences to the family. He will be missed. — Alberto B on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

He was a good man. Shocking to hear. I followed him from Greenwich st. We got along well. I tried so hard to make him laugh and when he did, he had a great smile. It’s very devastating. My deep condolences to all his friends. — Brian walsh on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

Add Petrarca to the list. I think someone actually broke into the restaurant. — Michael on Seen & Heard: Bike repair van is back

I moved from the U.K. and he was my doctor when I came to America. I recently saw him in Feb before moving back. What an amazing man, he told me when I put on 80lbs, that people carry 80lbs for construction work for 8 hours a day, but your carrying it for 24 hours a day for free. That comment always stuck with me. I will miss you, no other doctor has ever come close and I was so lucky to meet you. Take care doc — Rob on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74

How sad! Say it aint so! Not permanently! The Paris Cafe was a great restaurant/bar in a great, dynamic neighborhood--where NYC began--on the Street of Ships, South Street at the corner of Peck Slip, where George Washington hid from the British. The service was excellent--wonderful people. There must be a way, must be an investor.... My God. The history, tradition, legends. From River Pirates to Mobsters. Since 1873. Not even Sandy could kill it. There must be a way forward. — Jonathan Braun on After 147 years at the Seaport, The Paris Café is closing for good
