No need to send photos. You win! This manhole is indeed on the north side of the AT&T Long Lines Building. — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?
Hi Erik, after walking around Tribeca today whilst showing open houses to my clients on Worth Street I came upon the one manhole in this picture and discovered that actually (as you may certainly know) there are FOUR of them placed right outside each of the lights in the pavement on the north end side of the AT & T building outside the public park! I was elated to actually see just the one but when I discovered there were FOUR I was ecstatic! I have photos but not sure where I should send them? — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca…?
So who's another JL? Jude Law? Could be a director, of course. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Secret Service Limousine
JLo is in LA. JLaw just returned to NYC a few days ago. The number on this flyer is for the asst. production manager who's last credit was Billions (which is done shooting) Yes, I'm embarrassed I know all of the above. — Samantha on Seen & Heard: Secret Service Limousine
Not J-Law; she's still shooting a film in Budapest. Maybe J-Lo. — Terry on Seen & Heard: Secret Service Limousine

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! Only white rich kids are 'kids being kids.' It's only spitting and throwing bottles now, it'll be raping unconscious women in college later. — Anon on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City
This is a very sad decision. This was a downtown trade mark event for families. Screenings won't replace the magic of this fair. I hope the reconsider this decision... — EG on The Tribeca Film Festival Is Not Throwing Its Street Fair
Description? Common places they are hanging out? And how many of them are there? That's all I need to know. — CrazytribecaDad on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City
Hmm. They could do homework, study for tests and quizzes, join after-school clubs and activities, join sports at their schools, little league, soccer league, get involved at one of the three area community centers or the Y or the NYC Parks community centers. They could volunteer to make the area a better place and pick up community service credit for school. They could volunteer with churches, soup kitchens, at homeless shelters, etc. They could get jobs (which is admittedly tricky due to all the outrageous anti-work laws and regs in NYC). They could be a part of NYPD or FDNY Explorers. BTW, WHERE ARE THE PARENTS (OR GUARDIANS)? — James on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City
Have YOU ever tried setting anything up like a neighborhood watch, tried getting politicians or the bureaucracy to act on something, convinced a local business or corporation to take responsibility for the effects of their actions, or had the BPCA do anything competently? It is impossible for us regular folks on our own. People need to get together and be vocal together. But, most will not get off their asses. (if YOU have been successful in doing any of that, please take the lead, or if you know someone who can) — James on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City

From The New York Times: The State of Your Block, 2017 "Prior to a change in ownership several years ago of our buildings, Greenwich Street was bustling with mom-and-pop small businesses: a pizza shop; a dry cleaners; a terrific homey cafe; a family-owned pharmacy; and a deli — exactly what turns a street into a community. All the storefronts except the Duane Reade are now empty. The once vital street is now bleak and depressing. — Nathan Weber, 75. Greenwich Street between North Moore and West Streets.

Or their parents should take some f***ing responsibility. These are not underprivileged kids from the projects. They are residents who have full access to the parks and ball fields in the neighborhood. This is not a case of "use your inside voice." These teens are physically threatening people. — mruptight on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City
Yesterday, I went to see the 3 solo exhibitions at 121 Varick Street 7 floor. They are amazing!!! The paper sculpture by Kathyryn Cameron is my favorite. Beautiful mixed of texture colors and shapes. — Poramit on Seen & Heard: Alpha Jets Trailing Patriotic Smoke
These kids are privileged, spoiled brats! There are plenty of places to hang out , especially in BPC! I bet if their parents were hassled like some of these people, they would be the first to complain. They are teenagers, they can work, volunteer, play sports , get involved in theater or read! So over these kids not being held accountable for their actions. — DTmom on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City
Take pictures and circulate. If the kids can be identified and they are only hanging out in such small area, I don't see why this is ongoing. Round them up, alert the parents and start pressing charges if the harassment rises to that level. — TribecaMom on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City

Re: the jet flyover, I believe they were French AF jets, which makes the turn by Lady Liberty a bit more relevant (and the red, white, and blue smoke given double meaning): They're part of the Patrouille Acrobatique de France ("Acrobatic Patrol of France"), which is equivalent to America's Air Force Thunderbirds and Navy Blue Angels, and they're starting a month-and-a-half-long tour of the United States to celebrate the 100th anniversary of America's April 6, 1917 entry in World War I. ... The weekend flyover will be the team's first appearance in North America in more than 30 years. http://www.lohud.com/story/news/2017/03/24/french-fighter-jets-flyover-lower-hudson-valley-demonstration/99608038/ — Cobaye on Seen & Heard: Alpha Jets Trailing Patriotic Smoke
They will meet their match one day or someone who doesn't giving a flying foodles that these are kids. Then it's going to be "oh these poor kids". I wish someone terrorizes my child or my family while walking through Goldman alley. Anyone who supports this behavior is part of the problem as well. Betcha if it was a minority it would be handled differently. I agree start taking pictures identify their parents and put pressure on their parents. — Sandra on Teens Are Terrorizing Battery Park City
