4 days ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

Christopher Marte declared victory Tuesday night as he appeared certain to hold on to his Lower Manhattan City Council seat in the 1st District, defeating his three Democratic primary challengers and taking a victory lap for the third time since first winning in 2021. With 91% of the votes counted late Tuesday night, Marte held a commanding lead with 11,366 votes and 49.2% of the total vote, well ahead of his closest rival, Elizabeth Lewinsohn (5,619 votes) at 24.3 %.
'Rude Behavior' Ends Decades of Newspaper Selling at a Tribeca Market

4 days ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

The shelves outside the entrance to Morgan’s Market at 13 Hudson St. were a rare and welcoming sight for print-loving eyes. For decades, they have been reliably stacked with copies of the Times, Daily News, Post, and other papers. But that ended on Monday, and not for a lack of demand, says Morgan’s Market manager Peter Nam.
Life Saving Training for Downtown Soccer League Parents and Coaches

Earlier this month, dozens of parents and coaches of Downtown Soccer Leaguers got together, not to cheer on their kids but, if need be, to learn how to save one. The gathering, in a Battery Park City community room, was the latest session in an ongoing commitment by the league to offer free, biannual CPR and AEDs (automated external defibrillators) training to all its coaches, volunteers, and members of the league.
Push to Put Affordable Housing, Not a Jail Tower, on Two Acres in Chinatown

1 week ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

For years they fought a losing battle against the towering jail planned for Chinatown. Now, with the 2-acre site at 124-125 White St. leveled and weeks to go before construction begins, the opponents are back with an 11th-hour alternative. It is a plan, they say, that meets the demands for a city-mandated borough-based jail in Manhattan while also creating hundreds of units of affordable housing.
Photo Exhibit Recalls Gritty Waterfront Before It Became Hudson River Park

2 weeks ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

It’s hard to imagine the four miles of waterfront that stretches north from Tribeca without its extraordinary mix of green open spaces, playgrounds, gardens and much more that is Hudson River Park. But graphic reminders of a gritty past are now on display on the fence between Tribeca’s Piers 25 and 26, near North Moore Street.
Brooklyn Bridge Banks Reopens, Heralding a 'Comeback of the Century'

3 weeks ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

After 15 years, Leo Heinert was back to his old tricks beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. It was the official reopening on Thursday of the legendary skateboarding mecca, Brooklyn Bridge Banks, and Heinert, 33, was zooming up the steep, rolling embankment, spinning in mid-air and landing hard but unscathed on the newly restored brick pavement. Like others taking their turns, he sought perfection, again and again.
Towering and Immersive, a Titanic 'Experience' Is Pitched for the Seaport

3 weeks ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

A Titanic experience at the Seaport? That’s the aim of a group of descendants of the famed fated voyage who have organized an effort to erect a 12-story “one-of-a-kind city attraction” on Pier 16. As yet undesigned and unfunded, the ambitious project, called Beacon of Hope, would be a towering tourist attraction in the form of a futuristic lighthouse.

1 month ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

In the June 24 Democratic primary race to represent Lower Manhattan’s District 1 in the City Council, three candidates are seeking to unseat incumbent Christopher Marte. They are Jess Coleman, a lawyer who left the profession in January to run for office, Elizabeth Lewinshohn, chair of Gotham Park and former policy director for the NYPD’s Counterterrorism Bureau, and Eric Yu, a former sergeant in the Marine Corps reserves and currently an expense analyst for the MTA.
Around the City and on One Tribeca Block: The Battle Over Open Streets

1 month ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

A single block of Duane Street, between Hudson Street and West Broadway, is Tribeca’s Covid-era holdout of sorts. It is also a hyperlocal view into what now is a city-wide controversy over the proposed “exclusive” use of a roadbed for the patrons of a business. The Open Street, as the city calls it, is fenced off to traffic for part of the day by the Brazllian restaurant Casa, 157 Duane St., which provides some tables and chairs for its customers, and others for the public.
'We Can't Stand By.' Protesting Trump at Battery Park City Senior Residence.

1 month ago | tribecatrib.com | Carl Glassman

Thousands across the country attended May Day demonstrations against Trump administration policies. Less mobile, perhaps, but just as energized and vocal were 40 Battery Park City seniors. Wheelchairs, walkers and canes be damned. With signs aloft and chanting slogans like “save our ailing republic,” these protesters, most in their 80s and 90s, gathered in front of Sunrise Senior Living, their residence on North End Avenue, to demonstrate against the current direction of the country.
