I don't think that's the right takeaway at all. CB1 pushed WeWork hard for details on exactly what it was planning at the Mailroom, and based its decision on the available information. If anything, in my experience attending those meetings, CB1 is much likelier to be moved by an independent proprietor than a big corporation. — Erik Torkells on Trouble in the Mailroom

just another example of CB1 favoring big business over the local mom and pop. — Aby on Trouble in the Mailroom

I've eaten at Excellent Dumpling way too many times to count. The food is, well, excellent. And on what planet is Chelsea cheaper than Chinatown? sigh... — C.J on Excellent Dumpling House Has Moved to Chelsea

If someone is violating the rules, you should report them to the police. Pushing someone off a moving bike could end in death, and you would be charged with manslaughter, at a minimum (or murder). You need a new strategy, and the police should ticket anyone breaking the law (eg, bikes on sidewalks or not obeying streets signs, electric bikes where they shouldn’t be, and people pushing people off bikes). Yelling or cursing as the other reader noted may scare - rational -people into doing the right thing next time. — Erik on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

i actually had a delivery guy run into my 12lb dog with his bike while i was crossing at chambers in the crosswalk. this is while i had the light, ps234 was letting out and he was going the wrong way on chambers. by some miracle my dog was okay. and no, i didn't push him but i did curse like a sailor! — safe as milk on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

yes, the bike path is what i meant. and while we're at it, why do some people insist on walking or running on the bike bath? i've seen people pushing strollers there! how can they not realize that they are supposed to be on the esplanade with the other pedestrians? — safe as milk on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

The open space doesn't deserve the Oculus. — James on Seen & Heard: Wine Bar Opening Forecast

Please do not push people off of their bikes! — Erik Torkells on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

The danger is also from people riding bikes on sidewalks. And, goes without saying, the delivery people on the motorized bikes are a terror. After my small child was hit by a sidewalk bike rider, I have started pushing these people off their bikes when they come near me on the sidewalk. I encourage others todo the same. This seems to be the only effective method to force them off the sidewalk. Police do not ticket for this dangerous activity. — Janice on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

I really wish 2WTC wouldn't happen. The Oculus deserves the open space. — Jana Gross on Seen & Heard: Wine Bar Opening Forecast

The OP said "bike path on the esplanade". Clearly she didn't mean the walkway. But, that said, I agree that the bikers on the bike path need to be issued a ticket or two. The crossing at Houston St. is particularly bad. There is a lot of vehicle traffic entering/leaving Pier 40 but most bikers pay no attention to the bike lane traffic signals. They need to be reminded that bikers are subject to all the same laws as motor vehicles. — Makes You Go Hmmm... on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

I'm sorry but you shouldn't be cycling on the esplanade. They are toddlers running, pedestrians and especially the elderly walking, it's very dangerous. Btw at the site of last years cyclist death on west/chambers we witnessed a horrific crash today. a cyclist going full speed on the bike path thru the pedestrian crossovers on chambers crashed right into a very young girl at the same site of last years death. The young girl flipped over landed a somersault in the air landing on back of her head. I screamed! I thought she was dead. She eventually got up clutching her arm. My legs were shaking.... — Sarah on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

The false alarm at Pace was super stressful and scary for parents of students attending the public school across the street as it occurred right around dismissal. Spruce Street school was in hard lockdown. It was hard to get any info, it wasn't til around 3pm when 1st Precinct tweeted that it was a false alarm. School officials sent out notifications an hour later. http://gothamist.com/2017/09/15/pace_evacuation_gun_belt.php — TribecaMom on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

Per Wikipedia: Robert Alan Durst (born April 12, 1943)[1] is an American real estate heir, the son of New York City mogul Seymour Durst, and the elder brother of Douglas Durst, head of the Durst Organization. He is primarily known for being suspected of foul play against three individuals in different states: Kathleen McCormack Durst, his first wife, who disappeared in New York in 1982; Susan Berman, his longtime friend, who was murdered in California in 2000; and his neighbor, Morris Black, who was murdered in Texas in 2001. Durst was the subject of a multi-state manhunt and was ultimately convicted of dismembering Black, but acquitted of his murder. — James on In the News: New Sidewalk Shed Design to Debut on Murray

Slippery slope.... decline of civilization ... eventually you end up with Nero fiddling while Rome burns... I don't understand why I have to get "free" hits of Marijuana while walking my 5 year old to school at 7:30am Thank you mayor De Bl-ASS-io (sic) — Rohin on Trouble in the Mailroom

I live in the building. There is no dance floor. There is a floor, where people might dance I suppose. There's also no crowds from the water to the subway. — Steven Rowland on Trouble in the Mailroom

I love to ride my bike, too, but I also only ride it on the bike path. You can say what you want but it just isn't safe. Too many people are getting plowed into by cara and trucks. Very sad. My thoughts go to her family. — Janet on In the News: Cyclist Killed by Truck

I moved to Battery Park 2 years ago and have been lazily ordering wine online for a myriad of reasons. But mainly because I missed my old neighborhood gem on the UES and haven't found anything I loved in the area. I will be changing that ASAP and look forward to visiting Chambers Street Wines. This sounds exactly like what I've been looking for. Thank you for highlighting them and for the rec! — Jen on Spotlight: Chambers Street Wines

Love it when people call FiDi the Seaport lolz, and if youre shocked by marijuana smoke obviously you havent been around town much lately. — en_b on Trouble in the Mailroom
