I prefer the stickers to homeless, junkies, and excrement from dogs or humans. Focus on what matters maybe? — Thomas on Seen & Heard: PopUp Bagels facade revealed!

Agreed about the sidewalk stickers, along with the painted on / sprayed on sidewalk ads and "clever" saying. Also, what about stickers in general? The entire city is polluted with stickers everywhere - mailboxes, light posts, walls of buildings, etc. I don't understand why there is no enforcement about this. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: PopUp Bagels facade revealed!

Those sidewalk stickers are a new out of home ad treatment; they are everywhere, they are hideous and yes, they are defacing. NYC should ban them. I don't even think there is permits involved in their application, people are just throwing them down. ugh — nichole on Seen & Heard: PopUp Bagels facade revealed!

I love this interview. What that NC senatorial candidate said about Morris -- that he captured her voice uniquely well — is how I feel about this interview: it captures Zohran beautifully. Thank you! — Komanoff on TCQ&A: Morris Katz

I wish that the answer to the illegal drug problem was that easy. Unfortunately, making specific drugs illegal can lead to underground chemists creating even more powerful drugs that are far more potent than fentanyl. Nitrazenes are a new class are far more potent than fentanyl and are now available primarily in Europe and it is only a matter of time before they are here. — Larry on Illegal vending on Canal Street: “It’s a constant churn.”

Really important that we all support our local stores. Consistently and all the time. Actually would be great if parents can also remind their kids that it is local stores providing Halloween candy. — msa on Halloween in Washington Market Park — and more to come

Usually after school. — Tribeca Citizen on Halloween in Washington Market Park — and more to come

Yes! I noticed that as well. But since there were no permits I was wondering if maybe the landlords were painting it over to make it more neutral and rentable?? — Tribeca mom on Is work underway at Jin Market?

Curious caption on the top photo. I mean the last sentence. — Jesse Lebus on Seen & Heard: The Seneca Chief on Pier 26

Anyone remember the "our suburb" situation at the other end of N Moore Street about 20 years ago? Easiest way to make a corner boring, but I can't imagine why that particular corner would be an ideal situation for a luxury single family home with all the hubbub. My opinion: bring back the old pizzeria! :D — Elizabeth on The Smith & Mills and Yves building has sold

Yes, with prostitutes. — Elizabeth on Nine arrested after ICE raids counterfeit vendors

I would like for this to open, but they should not put a "coming soon" sign out front unless it is really coming soon. The way it is going it will probably be about 2028. — pigbitin mad on More on the Golden Mall coming to Fidi

sorry while I don’t like innocent people being arrested this situation should have been cleaned up a long time ago. It gets worse by the day. They arrested criminals that had multiple offenses had something really bad happened and the multiple offenses were listed. We’d all be wringing our hands saying how are these people all allowed on the street. And what I really don’t understand is do people understand what they are supporting when they buy these counterfeit products? How many people do you think are being trafficked to make and sell this crap. All because You want to look like you have more money than you do. — Bernice on Nine arrested after ICE raids counterfeit vendors
