I was so pleased to see Gothamist give you credit for this!! — Cobaye on Chick-fil-A’s Biggest-Ever Restaurant Will Be in FiDi

Thanks. That always seemed like the logical explanation, and yet with Harrison Street dividing the complex, one would think they could take the southern half down.... — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Blue Bottle Opens Today at the 9/11 Memorial

We were told a couple months ago in a resident newsletter that the sidewalk sheds had to stay up until all the work was completed at all the buildings. So the 310 Greenwich sidewalk shed has to stay up until the 80 N Moore work is completed (the last building of the three). — M on Seen & Heard: Blue Bottle Opens Today at the 9/11 Memorial

Congrats to Dr. Berg on the opening of her new office. I remember her from TriBeCa Soho Animal hospital, it's great to have a quality, compassionate vet in our area. Wishing her good luck & hope to be seeing her soon. — LG on New Kid on the Block: Tribeca Veterinary Wellness

even though the area was quiet and a bit "dark" it was original and I wish those days were back again. — Native on When Tribeca Was Small (Part One)

Those balconies were/are in terrible shape. — Dixie on Seen & Heard: Blue Bottle Opens Today at the 9/11 Memorial

That was never confirmed—just something I heard on good authority (although of course things can change). — Erik Torkells on In the News: Democratic Party Shenanigans

Dr. Berg and Tribeca Veterinary Wellness are terrific. A great addition to the neighborhood and the best vet I've ever met. — icf on New Kid on the Block: Tribeca Veterinary Wellness

What happened to the Shake Shak slated for Canal Street? The space sits empty for months now. — Don Thomas on In the News: Democratic Party Shenanigans

Absolutely ridiculous, Triumph or whatever it's called these days completely stripped this hotel of what made it special and turned it into a generic and bland product — daya on The Cosmopolitan Hotel Is Changing Its Name

His team has been looking at possible disenfranchisement of voters due to shifting locations of polling stations on election day. Tonight, Marte told The Lo-Down he’s consulting with his attorney about the next steps for the campaign. Marte said two other candidates, Aaron Foldenauer and Dashia Imperiale, also picked up some votes today." — James on In the News: Chin Wins by 200 Votes

There's nothing yet on the Board of Elections site: http://vote.nyc.ny.us/html/results/results.shtml. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Chin Wins by 200 Votes

Fernandez Shoe Repair has been there for a long time. I've been going there since the Russian guy closed his shoe repair around the block on Greenwich, in the storefront that became Y Organic. Fernandez is just getting a new awning. — karen on Seen & Heard: $5 Bills at ATMs

Saw the new The Frederick sign the other day and thought, "Oh, they must have gotten rid of all of the SRO's!" However, look up at the windows on the Chambers/West Broadway side - looks like there is one hold out!

Nice choice of space by shake shack. You need something there that people were travel for because everything else has died there. — john on In the News: Democratic Party Shenanigans

From the First Precinct police blotter: "110 Wall (Mail Room nightclub), 8/24, 10:30 pm An Austrian tourist, 23, was at the bar with her handbag. When she turned away for a few minutes, a thief stole the bag. The $500 handbag contained $2,300, a $1,000 iPhone, Bose headphones worth $500, and a $300 pair of sunglasses." With respect to Cabaret Laws, I am being told that they are quite likely being repealed by de Blasio, so not sure how much longer these laws will be in place which is a good thing based on the fact that not only are they antiquated, but are probably the most racist laws out there and a blemish on NYC. The original intent of the 90 year old law goes back to the prohibition days and was to "stop the wild stranger and the foolish native from running wild,"...aka making sure black men did not dance with white women. The law was written as a way to prevent interracial dancing in the city’s clubs and yet it still exists today??!! Then in the 80's, at a point when no one really talked much about Cabaret Laws, Guiliani used the law to indiscriminately shutdown any nightclub or bar he felt needed to be shut down. — Bob Jacobs on Trouble in the Mailroom

The REAL reason restaurants want to go cash-only is to eliminate theft by their own employees. It isn't for convience, that is just a canard so the owner doesn't have to admit they don't trust their own employees. Yes...preparing banks and counting cash is a timesuck...and finding missing cash is a nightmare...but my guess is eliminating theft is at the top of most owners wishlist. Sadly, rliminatimg cash just hits their employees in the pocket more by putting all tips on cards...which means workers take home less cash everyweek. — Restaurantdude on Another Restaurant No Longer Accepts Cash
