THIS MONTH –
Quick! In between all the holidays, let’s have a very special get together before the madness sets in. This one is very special indeed, as it celebrates *two years* of these gatherings.
Once again, we’ll be meeting in a Tribeca business — this time at Tribeca Beauty Spa, a new business that opened up this summer. There will be a little wine and nosh and lots of good cheer. I apologize to anyone who may find a conflict with the second night of Hanukah.
We’re going to try something a little different - We are having our casual get together Wednesday Dec 5 at Tribeca Beauty Spa at 8 Harrison Street any time between 6:30 and 9 — maybe even a little later — hope you’ll be able to stop by. There will be some crayons for the kids to play with so bring them along.
I’m very happy to announce that we’ve grown - new people show up each month — some only stay for a little while, some all evening — so please feel free to drop by anytime and say hello - and bring a friend or two.
For those who have not attended one of these — We* have been meeting in a different Tribeca restaurant or business, once a month — We’ve been able to exchange some ideas, do some networking, have a drink with the neighbors and gossip a bit. Just drop by and chat for a while. There hasn’t been any real agenda so far, so feel free you bring whatever concerns you have. And I am very happy to say that it has been going on for almost a year and a half now, which in my mind at least, makes it my very own TriBeCa TraDiTion.
We’ve had schools, clothing stores, kid’s stores, restaurants, doctors -
some people who hadn’t even opened yet. — If everyone will bring one person they think would benefit from meeting the neighbors, we will have a fantastic group and a terrific time. PLEASE FORWARD this around, especially to the new businesses in town.
Thanks,
David Cleaver

Tiffany’s is opening their Financial District Store at 37 Wall Street today and is “painting the Financial district blue”. Street musicians will serenade with MoonRiver on corners all over the financial district. Coffee carts with Tiffany Blue umbrellas will dispense free coffee and cookies. Free newspapers will also be handed out and models in Tiffany jewelry will make their glamorous presence known on the sidewalks of Lower Manhattan. (via Racked)

I guess Bank of America figured that walking all the way across City Hall Park was too much. This new ATM only bank branch just shot up on the corner of Nassau and Beekman Streets. Is this the first sign of amenities moving to the East side of town? Do they know that this street is going to be closed for two years?! Maybe they should check out the Lower Manhattan Street Work Map.
