  • Thank you for all this consolidated coverage. — David on Update on the Bike Path Attack

  • As a New York City businessman I have to comply with the law. In my case it is just impossible to follow the instruction which require from me to upload to the Police Department Computer entire inventory of electronic components and equipment, report each individual sale. As you might see from the video on Youtube I will have to hire army of computer wizard and it will probably take them years to complete that project, and if I sale something to the artists the way their buy, which is usually by the lot for a few dollars, I will have to hire them again. I do understand what that law means but that was good for application years ago. Right now there are endless ways to sell any product on the internet and you can reach as far away as Syberia with the click of the button. I am very sorry and I apologize to all my customers who visited Argo through the yers. The Administrative Code Section 20-267, 20-237(a), 20-277(b) THANK YOU, Zdislav David Lasevski — Zdislav David Lasevski on Argo Electronics Has Closed

  • So sad for the victims and their families. Yet another senseless act of terror targeting innocent defenseless civilians. Stupid Cowards — Rohin on Rampage on the Hudson River Bike Path

  • That's got to be a joke, right? Since the majority of delivery guys (and presumably a few gals) use electric or motorized bikes, and since they are prevalent on streets, on the Hudson River bike path, and chained up in front of restaurants, they are clearly visible by the tens of thousands, so there is no way the police would be totally ignoring the enforcement of that law if it was real... — Robert Ripps on Seen & Heard: Tribeca Loft Squatter

  • The first thought that went through my mind was the NY Yankees! Is this a Rorschach test ? — Augustino on First Glimpse of the Unhistoric Townhouse

  • poor condo owners. look at those comically small windows, and it will probably cost a fortune to replace anything there. i would not live there, but i would not mind it as my neighbour. — sean on First Glimpse of the Unhistoric Townhouse

  • I understand as a matter of law, the Postal Service is subject to the Architectural Barriers Act, rather than the ADA. (If the building is privately owned, said owner is covered by ADA.) With respect to the Federal Government, ADA does not cover the executive branch of the Federal government; instead it is covered by title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which is similar. ADA does cover Congress and other entities in the legislative branch of the Federal government. The Federal judiciary, however is covered by neither the ADA nor the Rehabilitation Act. — James on Seen & Heard: An Important Notice for Local Businesses

  • Thank you for that. I guess a home office is not considered a "commercial facility" so hopefully I'm fine... — Marcus on Seen & Heard: An Important Notice for Local Businesses

  • This is what's happening in Toronto to help small businesses be accessible http://stopgap.ca. Well named, the project is actually a stop gap measure put in place in advance of an AODA compliance deadline in 2025. It's a terrific example of community engagement and a pro-active approach to an important accessibility mandate. — Andrea on Seen & Heard: An Important Notice for Local Businesses

  • The LPC loved the design. From DNAinfo's article on the hearing: The Landmarks Commission was impressed by architect Jeremy Edmiston's playful references to the neighborhood's older buildings, including detailed brickwork and deep, sculptural facades. "It works," said Bob Tierney, chairman of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. "It more than works—it actually enhances the richness of the district." Commissioners called Edmiston's design "exciting," "creative," "symphonic," "very unusual" and "robust and inventive" before voting unanimously to approve it. They requested just one minor change: a darker-colored shell for the rooftop mechanical equipment. "We should celebrate this project," Commissioner Frederick Bland said. "Everything is familiar and yet nothing is familiar…This is smart architecture as well as delirious architecture." https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20110419/downtown/landmarks-commission-oks-building-once-dubbed-too-modern-for-tribeca — Erik Torkells on First Glimpse of the Unhistoric Townhouse

  • How could this design have been passed by landmarks? Front balconies??? That look like rusted cages. It’s dramatic alright .Dramatically offensive to The character of the neighborhood. — Brian B. on First Glimpse of the Unhistoric Townhouse

  • It has been different since Yaffa’s. Apples and oranges. — TG on Dahlia’s Has Changed Its Name Again

  • Reminds me of Guadi a little too. Nice to have something unique in Tribeca but not sure it will seamlessly fit in. — Toni SD on First Glimpse of the Unhistoric Townhouse

  • It's been downhill since Yaffa's. — Melanie on Dahlia’s Has Changed Its Name Again

  • Oh man...how did I never notice that place? I must have walked past it a hundred times. And you just know some incredibly expensive condos will replace it soon, to be inhabited by "finance types." 1970's NYC hardly seems like something worth preserving...until it fades into history. — Will Meyerhofer on Argo Electronics Has Closed

  • Not sure yet if this is going to be great architecture...but I'm intrigued and hoping for the best. Thanks for the first peek! — Will Meyerhofer on First Glimpse of the Unhistoric Townhouse

  • What about the Canal St Post Office? They had an opportunity for a ramp or a small elevator (as in the West 18th St P.O.) during a recent renovation on their Church St. Side. Is the Federal Government exempt from this? — Dixie on Seen & Heard: An Important Notice for Local Businesses

  • Is it PTSD from our Yankees recent loss or is that a version of the “NY” logo woven into the fabric of the facade?! — Neil W on First Glimpse of the Unhistoric Townhouse
