I second this recommendation. I follow them on Instagram and it is amazing to see the work they do. They are located on Columbus Ave. in the 80's. There is a short video on their website about what to do if you find an injured bird. Well worth watching. — jsm on Seen & Heard: Danny was ill, but is recovering
De Janeiro, discount clothing store, opened a new location on Broadway, across from City Hall Park. — TribecaMom on Menswear designer Todd Snyder coming to Liquor Store
Oh my I see dead birds all the time walking my dog. Also little birds and pigeons who sit pensively and barely move and you know they are having a hard time. My husband and I have nursed several back to health. When I used to buy theatre tixs at the WTC birds would crash into the tower all the time. Urban life can be very hard on our feathered friends. — TG on Seen & Heard: Danny was ill, but is recovering

Very cool! — TG on Infrastructure Nerd Alert: View the bridge installation
If you find an injured bird after a window strike etc. you can bring them to or contact the Wild Bird Fund. https://www.wildbirdfund.org/ They’re great and we’ve have brought a few birds we have discovered (we live next to a glass bldg near the river) — Cd on Seen & Heard: Danny was ill, but is recovering
Lamont has genuinely been a part of my son's growing up. With the many youth of the neighborhood clambering for his attention and approval, Lamont made everyone -- parents and kids -- feel they were cared for. It's natural that Tribeca is no longer recognizable to me as the cozy place we raised our kids, but Lamont helped make it a neighborhood and a home. Lamont, you've touched many lives! — Roark Dunn on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams
Why would only 3 year old boys be interested in seeing a bridge installation? I'm a female bridge engineer with 10 years experience and my 2 year old daughter is very interested in her toy trucks and blocks. — E.C on Infrastructure Nerd Alert: View the bridge installation
Lamont is the best. I've known him pretty much since he first started working in TriBeCa. We are very grateful to have him in our lives and in our kids' lives. He shares his beautiful heart daily and tirelessly - an inspiration for the rest of us as to what being a "citizen" of the world truly means. When Lamont walks into a room, a field, the schoolyard, a court - MAGIC happens. Thank you for everything Lamont. We love you. — Marla Mase on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams
I cant tell you how many times over the years since our kids grew up that i would run into Lamont and he would always ask about Ming and Mickey. Now Mickey and Natalie are having a baby and Ming is getting married to Melissa and when i see Lamont i know that there is continuity in this neighborhood. No secret that some of the props goes to Bob Townley, Mona Chan and a lot of the staff who have been there from the beginning. I cant think of a nicer person than Lamont. Congratulations and thank you for your steadfast positive imput over the last 30 years or so. Dan Alterman & LiWah Lai — Dan Alterman on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams

You are a leader, an example, and an all around amazing person. You made my children feel like a million bucks - I still remember your smiles and fist bumps!

Lamont, This is great to read, well-deserved! I am forever grateful for the kindness, creativity, patience, and fun that you showed my 2 sons and daughter who all adore you. You made a few of their birthdays inspiring celebrations of life. Thank you for all that you do. TriBeca is indeed lucky to have you as a leader and mentor in a time when it's so needed. — Sarah Connors on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams
Lamont was the director of the Manhattan Youth at the school where I taught for 6 years. The students absolutely LOVED him. I didn't know all of this other background. I'm happy about this recognition :) — Elizabeth S Zaita on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams

Lamont is what makes this neighborhood special. A coach, a mentor, and all round great person we are beyond lucky to have someone so special coaching and mentoring our kids. The perfect Citizen of the Month! — EJ Boyce on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams
Lamont, citizen of the month does not adequately the vast impact you have had on our community and our children. You helped raise my two boys, now young men. The old African proverb said it best, It takes a village." You, sir, bring that statement to life each and every day and with each and every child under your care. I could not thank you, and love you any more for all you do for our kids, and mine, in particular! Congratulations on this honor! — BILL MARTINO on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams
A class act, and more than just a job to him. I've seen him make sure kids act right as if they were his own. Tribeca is in good hands. — J.D. on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams
