  1. Nic Holiber is the man!

  2. The Laughing Man application isn’t strictly for a sidewalk bench as described on the main page blurb — it’s for converting one or more parking spaces in front of the store into a seating area. It’s different from a sidewalk cafe in that the seating is open to the general public, no purchase required, and the sponsoring business/organization can’t take orders/exchange money in the area. See http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pedestrians/streetseats.shtml

  3. No PLEASE!!! Don’t let the laughing coffee junkies get 1+ parking spaces as their own!!!! Please, please, please…
