  • It is shocking how incompetent OPT bus substitute drivers are --- on multiple occasions my daughter's bus thankfully had older kids with a phone that then proceeded to show the driver how to get to the next stop with their IPhone GPS --- meanwhile parked somewhere in the West Village and Soho another time as he was unable to figure out where he was to go next?!!! And the Dept of Ed is placing young children (my daughter in K, who does not have a phone to call me) in the care of these adults!?! — GVMom on In the News: Tribecan Accused of Attacking Postal Worker

  • The liquor lawyer was not the problem. As William commented (on September 15, 2016 • 9:23 pm): "The problem with Tom going directly to the SLA is that he had been in violation several times. He served liquor outside with no sidewalk permit. I believe he was cited twice." The other lesson learned here is that it is easier for a restaurateur to rent in a single-landlord building than from the owner of a retail condo in a largely residential condo building with lots of resident owners who are unlikely to accommodate a restaurant and the clout to oppose one. — James on The Greek’s Owner Is Trying Again

  • in reply to reddit: several issues in your post. I live here too. I ,too , dont' like smelly, cigarette / garbage strewn sidewalks. i clean mine all the time and i am a small business owner. sanitized sidewalks don't have to =sanitized chain businesses. how about patronizing small businesses like mine who are invested in the neighborhood? — Madeline Lanciani on Seen & Heard: The Bouley Mothership

  • I think that Tom needs to hire a better liquor lawyer like this one: http://www.lawrodriguez.com/new-york-liquor-license-attorney/ Also, as a student of Pace University, I sometimes take walks to Thomas street and I haven't seen much indicators of restaurant construction of what was megu soon to be Buddha Bar. The only indicators I see is that just one window is covered by white paper that wasn't covered before licensing, there has been a stool or ladder on the upper level, and I see everything is where it was in the past, and in fact, at around 4:00 yesterday, the lights at the stairs and the Japanese flag inside were on. How can lights be on inside a closed place? Maybe this is another indicator of construction or maybe it's being done from the dining room or areas not visible through front windows first. — Alex Atallah on The Greek’s Owner Is Trying Again

  • I went to the Greek for the first time a few weeks ago and it was a great experience. The food was great and the service was very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to going back — lowphat on The Greek’s Owner Is Trying Again
