did baked get a liquor license?
@Resident: It was held over last month, which is why it’s on the December agendas.
Would love to see the “Quality of Life Committee” ask about traffic direction and enforcement on the non-stop honking of all of the traffic backed-up from Canal to Duane Park from mid-day until well into the evening. Would just love it. Not like, looooove.
If not, is there anyway to get the cars to honk in unison with a holiday jingle or carol?
Or could they resolve that it’s okay to egg nog the cars that honk from our rooftops with glee?

But who? They leave the entire 3rd floor lit up 24/7 (only the 3rd fl.) & at night it’s bright enough in the back of my place (38 Walker St.) to read by!! When I called Pearl weeks ago, they said the building was sold.
@Betsy: The sales info in StreetEasy just says that it was bought in October by “42 Lispenard LLC
C/O Funaro and Co LLP
350 Fifth Avenue, 41st Floor
New York NY 10018”
which of course isn’t helpful. But you should go to the CB1 meeting where reps for the building will be there, and you can ask them about the lighting—they may have no idea how much it’s inconveniencing you. (Alternatively, they may not care, but it’s worth a try!)
Double decker tour buses have destroyed the quality of life on Broadway between Canal and Leonard Streets. Loud speaker tour guides penetrate closed double pane windows even on high floors. 100’s of buses from 8:45 am to 7:30 pm everyday, 7 days a week, 365 days a year – even during the Sandy blackout when we had no power, water or heat in my building, we were subjected to being video taped and photographed by double decker tourists invading our misery. These buses, many of them rundown surplus rattling, roaring and screeeeeeching continuously. These buses sit and idle all day long between Lispenard and White streets emitting toxic fumes. Broadway is on a steep incline between Canal and Worth streets that causes these buses motors to rev hard to make it up the hill and really hard from a standing stop. These buses block 7 different MTA buses and their passengers from MTA bus stops. These double decker buses are mobile billboards that are avoiding any billboard regulation that is enforced city wide. May of these buses run empty – mobil billboards. It seems there is NO regulation or oversight of these private company buses. We are also subjected to dozens of out of state cross country chartered tour buses that are completely immune to parking and driving laws. NYPD does not have a bus parking violation category for illegally parked bus even in metered spot. A parking enforcement officer will walk right past a illegally parked bus and write a ticket to a residents car or truck or a delivery company truck like UPS, Fedex, etc that’s providing a service to residents. These buses tear up the streets and sidewalks – too big to make the turns run over curbs and bust the antique granite and blue stone sidewalks down narrow neighborhood streets they should not be allowed. They should be restricted to West Side Highway and passengers use the same transportation New Yorkers use – MTA, taxi, Citi Bike or walk. All the air, noise and visual pollution takes it’s toll on hard working highly taxed residents. Tribeca is Not a theme park.
