We could really use another nail salon. - ha! — Jill on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
I've seen traffic infractions like this all over the city--it's not just cops on West Broadway. I regularly see drivers going the wrong direction on streets and ignoring red lights . Add to the mix the pedestrians who cross against lights and in the middle of the block willy-nilly while reading/texting on their phones. Yesterday I saw two people walking against traffic in the middle of the West Side Highway. It's crazy out there, and I'm surprised more people are getting hurt. — Manhattanmommie on Wrong-Way Driver Nearly Hits Pedestrian
i don't know anything about this particular honey but the remedy is tried and true. bee pollen is even better than honey but it is an acquired taste. you need to start taking it over the summer to develop immunity for the following spring. it took my daughter about a year and a half to get rid of 90% of her spring allergies. she takes "elixir" which is mostly raw honey with a little bee pollen mixed in. i've been taking straight bee pollen every day for years. i recommend tremblay aviaries. they have a stand at the north end of union square park on saturdays. — safe as milk on Seen & Heard: Tribeca Honey
Even the bank branches leave. — Janet on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
I only had my first spoonful today but I felt pretty good all day! I'll try to remember to update in a few days. — B on Seen & Heard: Tribeca Honey
I miss stuffy/formal restaurants. Somewhere where you don't hear the F word in every other sentence OR a "no problem" reply when you say thank you. I hope they stay that way when they move. — Mia on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
I love Acappella and will definitely visit anywhere they open. The food is delicious and the service impeccable. I believe the Il Giglio space makes sense. — TribecaMom on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
Let me know if the honey works. Please, please, please! — A on Seen & Heard: Tribeca Honey
Agree with BPCrez. Very good, but expensive and kind of stuffy/formal. Not kid friendly in my opinion - a good or a bad thing depending on your point of view. My husband and I did enjoy going there from time to time for special occasions. — another mama on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
Very good veal chop..thinly pounded. — 24601 on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
yes, very good over priced Italian food...not all that different from what il gilgio was like. — BPCrez on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
I have walked past that place for ten years and never seen anybody going in or out. Has anybody EVER eaten there? Legitimately curious. — veracruz on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
That soon to be vacated corner location looks prefect for what? Another bank branch perhaps. Let the guessing begin. — JPL on Acappella Is Moving After 23 Years
Forgot to say I made the resy on Open Table, so no way they didn't know! — Bruce on Seen & Heard: Acappella Closed for Renovation
Acappella "closed for renovations"? Really? Three weeks ago I made a reservation for Saturday April 22nd. (THIS SATURDAY) This was to be a very special evening. This is a "high end" restaurant. Does anyone really believe they would "close for renovations" and couldn't even be bothered to call people who booked way in advance? Hmmmm. Something smells very fishy here, and it's NOT a menu item! Shame on them! Fortunately I saw this story and was able to re-book elsewhere for this Saturday. — Bruce on Seen & Heard: Acappella Closed for Renovation
I donated a kidney to my sister six and a half years ago. Just this past weekend, I was together with my family and my sister was dancing and laughing. My dad pulled me aside and told me that my kidney gave her her life back. Donation is a big decision but one I have never regretted. If you are considering it and want to speak with someone who has been through it, feel free to reach out to me through Erik. — Donor on The Fight of Her Life
It undermines the legitimate authority of law enforcement for the NYPD to turn a blind eye to (i) the use by law enforcement officers (and others) of counterfeit and illegitimate union placards and (ii) the abuse of legitimate placards by law enforcement officers parking in illegal spaces, blocking fire hydrants and crosswalks, etc. "Do as I say, not as I do" theory of law enforcement is hardly a sound basis for a civil society. That is a separate issue from whether there are too many legitimate placards issued by city government. Politicians are being two-faced by claiming to be for the environment (e.g., by instituting fees for plastic bags) while helping to pollute the environment (and make traffic worse) by continuing to subsidize parking, and thus encourage the use of automobiles, by civil servants bearing government-issued placards. — James on Seen & Heard: Rooftop Trampoline
"Civic Virtue" was a fixture of my childhood in Queens. For 17 years or so I looked at it every day. While I find the critique fully legitimate, my feeling toward it is gratitude, because it allowed a little boy to stare at nekkid ladies. Because, you know, it's art. — David G.

they sell a limited menu (usually chocolate, vanilla, and one other flavor) of Blue Marble Ice Cream at the Pier 25 concession stand by the skatepark during the summer — babs on Finally, a Good Ice Cream Shop
Good luck to EverAfter. It looks absolutely lovely. Pity my kid has grown up. I wish them luck. — TG on Seen & Heard: Free Outdoor Concert Lineup
Omigod! Enough already. Fresh Direct has to park (temporarily) some where for goodness sakes. As for the NYPD and FDNY...not sure I would go there. I have an idea; why don't you all go to the South Bronx for the day and give the locals some fresh ideas. I get it people I do but I also don't. I would rather have a cop take a parking space than an extension of Happy Coffee or whatever it is called. An exception of course is for the Mom whose child was almost hit by a fireman...that is not good. — TG on Seen & Heard: Rooftop Trampoline
An unpublished letter to the Times that I wrote:re: Wounded by ‘Fearless Girl,’ Creator of 'Charging Bull’ Wants Her to Move April 13, 2017 To the Editor: One of the lawyers for the bull’s creator says he hopes that the dispute over the two statues can be resolved amicably. How to do that is easy. Since the bull and the girl were both, in the first place, plunked down illegally under cover for darkness on city-owned land without any prior approval by any city agencies, why not just remove them both? — George Bacon on In the News: The Greenwich Hotel’s Back Door
That tweet was from someone high up in the company, so it may take a while to trickle down. I don't expect to cover it further. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Free Outdoor Concert Lineup
The hyper smoothy muscled "bull" sculpture is the cliche' way Financial Clevers like to think of themselves as they charge around practicing their self deluded scornful schemes. The Classic bull was the Minotaur, the Mythic insight into our divided nature. The Bull was killed in poetry (and in the Ring in Andalucia) to indicate the Human struggle to replace Aggressive Will with Reason, Self Respect and Respect of Others. At least the girl (also a cliche') represents a hopeful aspiration of an eventual change in our rigid mind set. — robert janz on In the News: The Greenwich Hotel’s Back Door
Hey Erik, I called WeWork about the space on Hudson and they don't know anything about it! Looking forward to hearing any more updates on that as you come across them. Thanks! Lisa — Lisa on Seen & Heard: Free Outdoor Concert Lineup
