    It is simply amazing to me that at the very time when the tragedy of 9/11 is being commemorated a few blocks away, Duane Street was having a “Rock the Block” party hosted by the Tribeca Chabad. There is a bounce house, amplified children’s music, bubbles, and “more”. While their poster has a banner that the event is in honor of the Police and Fire heroes, it is hard to imagine exactly how glitter tattoos and singing and dancing in the shadows of the World Trade Center is a way to honor them. I just hope that the families who are making their way to the festivities don’t drive through this part of Tribeca. It insults them. I can’t believer that the city gave a permit for it either, but, then again, our city is not a model of good management.

    I too agree with the above. It was very depressing living on Duane St hearing their noise while watching the names being read.

    I totally agree. I was Having coffee at Duane Park Patisserie when this thing started. I couldn’t believe how inappropriate it was.
