It is easy enough to pick up that "slow" sign, turn it to face the garage and move it to the open "garage" door. — betty on Seen & Heard: Olympics on the Hudson

I rarely use cash, but let's look at the downside of using cards for everything - Prices increase to cover transaction fees, disadvantaging the less affluent - We surrender our privacy to banks, credit card companies and now instant payment vendors, who now know everything that we purchase, allowing them to sell our information, target us, etc. - we make banks, etc. richer and more powerful. — A. on Tribeca’s First No-Cash Restaurant

Last year it was more like three weeks, and even that was taxing. https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2015/07/29/seen-heard-work-on-100-franklin-is-starting-soon/ — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Arcade Bakery Is Closing for a Month

There is no federal law mandating the acceptance of cash. See https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages/legal-tender.aspx "I thought that United States currency was legal tender for all debts. Some businesses or governmental agencies say that they will only accept checks, money orders or credit cards as payment, and others will only accept currency notes in denominations of $20 or smaller. Isn't this illegal? "The pertinent portion of law that applies to your question is the Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," which states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues." "This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy." — James on Tribeca’s First No-Cash Restaurant

I'm not a lawyer, but the last time I looked we are in the USA and all USA currency ever issued is still legal tender. Let's see 'em call the police when cash is offered. Wanna bet on the outcome? I will bet anyone $100 that the police would say it's NOT theft of service and that they MUST accept it! Oh- and the bet is CASH ONLY! ha!=) — Bruce on Tribeca’s First No-Cash Restaurant

While I'm sure it will not affect their particular business, I hope this does not become the norm. It is discriminatory towards those with lower incomes who do not have a bank card. — mruptight on Tribeca’s First No-Cash Restaurant

There will be an open-ended Black Lives Matter protest in City Hall Park (think Occupy Wall Street/Zucotti Park). Logistics begin tonight. Maybe that's why Warren St parking is blocked? It is probably why the barricades are up. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/protesters-hold-occupy-city-hall-rally-article-1.2734170 — A. on Seen & Heard: Arcade Bakery Is Closing for a Month

Option 3 can kick rocks, as far as I'm concerned. — Doug on Seen & Heard: Proposals for the South End Avenue Arcades

Nope. I've never anything about it directly from a PR firm, only from other news sources, so I suspect we'll read about it on Eater or the NYT when it's close to ready.

Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but how is a subway elevator on the sidewalk at 15 Broad Street a concession from the developer of 45 Broad Street (more than a block away)????? Has anyone looked into the developers' donations to BdB? — LG on In the News: Apple Store Confirmed

James Joyce's Finnegans Wake (note: no apostrophe) begins midstream: riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
