We need a hardware store in the neighborhood. — Jane Goldberg on New Kid on the Block: Little More

Oh Yay, looking forward to checking it out.. — B.Thompson on New Kid on the Block: Little More

Looks like the courthouse was meant to be much bigger extending north toward Leonard/Baxter - where the city clerks bldg stands - and even further south towards the municipal where the US courthouse is — JD on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

Hi! Is the list meant to be linked in this article? I can't seem to find it... — TR on The 2024 Shop-Local Gift Guide

Dog owners are quick to blame things on others instead of taking responsibility for their own behavior. Why do I see at least 4 or 5 dogs in Whole Foods every time I go? These are pets (not service dogs) that dog owners feel they have the right to parade around the store even though it is against NYC Health codes (which WF is not enforcing). Dog owners do not have the right to disobey rules (dogs in food stores) and common etiquette (curbing your dog) and think everyone else should be tolerant of their bad behavior. — K on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

Wow... what a great story, and what a great example of what one can become when we put our effort to it. i love your story and here's for many many more years!! I love visiting the store every time I have to have knife sharpened, its such a treat. — Richard on Spotlight: Korin

Here we go with the anti-dog crowd. You don’t complain enough on Nextdoor about dogs? We live in a city of over 8 million people, many with dogs. Try a little patience and compassion for your fellow NYer. Your life will be easier if you do. — A2 on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

Oh thank you! Kept forgetting I wanted to write you to see if you knew what was up with the lights—which are right across from my bedroom window. They’re gorgeous! No issue! Was just verrrrry curious! — Susan B on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening at the New York Mercantile Exchange?

Proenza Schouler had their September fashion week show at the Mercantile Exchange.

Are you sure it's dogs peeing on that sidewalk.... — Manhattanmommie on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

Agree with you. Over in battery park, I find it frustrating when dog owners allow their dogs to use the grass of the parks to go to the bathroom. I've even seen dog owners allow their dogs to use sandy areas in the playgrounds for the same purpose. There are of course many signs indicating that this is prohibited. It's very disrespectful to the children, families and other people that use those areas for recreation. — BPCdad on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

Sadly that is true. Not to mention folks who proactively let their dogs pee on schools and places of worship. My terrific neighbor takes a small squirt bottle when she walks her dog - and then squirts water where her dog goes. It would be great if everyone did this. — slm on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

Land map incorporating proposed, unbuilt courthouse design (with four (4!) entrance staircases, here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Bromley_Manhattan_Plate_008_publ._1916.jpg/1280px-Bromley_Manhattan_Plate_008_publ._1916.jpg — James on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

The design architect won a competition in 1913 that would have been a circular building reminiscent of the Colosseum. WWI and related delays forced a "value engineering" of the courthouse into a hexagon, for 25-35% of the original estimated coat. https://history.nycourts.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/circular-courthouse-never-built-1024x623.jpg — James on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

The sidewalks stink because nobody curbs their dog anymore. The city could fund the schools with a simple month of ticketing dog owners who haven't trained their pets to crap at the curb/gutter rather than the middle of the sidewalk (or the grass in the parks, or the elevators in buildings ...) — J Frank P on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

would love to know how charging $9 to get a car from 63rd street to literally leave the city through the Lincoln tunnel — removing a car from Manhattan — makes sense. They take take take but all we’ve seen for our taxes lately is free housing and meals for people who cheated the system to get here. How much funding would they get from cracking down on turnstile jumpers? I see dozens a day… but no…let’s go after those pesky drivers. Literal highway robbery — and just as business are starting to get people back in the office. Commuters don’t want to ride the subways anymore bc laws are not enforced…I don’t blame them. I take it daily and have been in more unsafe situations the last 2 years than my entire 15 years in the city. We pay SO MUCH in taxes here once you’re anywhere close to middle class if you don’t get out, they’ll price you out… if any lawmaker in the city can read this — please stop governing like you absolutely hate us. We stuck with this city through the pandemic, riots, and beyond — but it’s too expensive here. Middle class families are being pushed right out. How much is enough? Imagine a government that takes your money, gives it to non-citizen violent criminals. They then give one of those criminals a taxpayer-funded flight to another state where they allegedly murder a 22 yr old nursing student out for a jog. Actually, you don’t have to imagine that — bc it literally happened on our dime. And now they want more. — SCJ on Clarity — finally — on one angle of congestion pricing for Downtown residents

I get that the sidewalks stink but there's a water emergency. I'd rather have water to shower than wash sidewalks. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

This feels like such a missed opportunity. A residential building that completes the street wall would provide so much more value to the community than yet another one-story glass box. That said, I can respect a NIMBY who’s willing to put their money where their mouth is—buying the air rights and locking the lot into stasis for decades is certainly one way to keep ‘light and air’ intact. But let’s not pretend it’s altruism; those development rights are only going to appreciate. At some point, future owners might realize that housing—or even something more ambitious—could be worth more than an empty lot (or, god forbid, a place to park). — FiDiGuy on Plans on the docket for the parking lot on Hudson and Worth

The NYSE hosts conferences and other events, and companies listed there are also able to hold events and meetings there. They don’t really have bars, but they will set up a table with beer, wine and liquor and have a bartender if it makes sense for the particular event. — Reademan on Seen & Heard: Los Tacos No. 1 doing its part

So far... — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Friends & Fashion is this week

Are these the only three spaces that were approved? I'm wondering when the enormous shed at Zona Tribeca will come down. — ReaderOnDuane on Seen & Heard: Friends & Fashion is this week

That will be so cool! This would be the second immersive show in FiDi. The other one is Life and Trust taking place over in the basement of 20 Exchange. That show was so good! — Florence Ng on High-wire immersive theater coming to Wall Street

Ditto. — R. on Plans on the docket for the parking lot on Hudson and Worth

That is Edison Parking. They rarely develop. — Tribeca Citizen on Plans on the docket for the parking lot on Hudson and Worth
