  • The rats nest is in the sewer on the corner (underneath Wichcraft). They are always running in and out of there at night. Let's not get off topic though. That Wolfgang's behavior is disgusting. Take a stand! — charango on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • "In the house I Googled Josh Klausner and in five minutes learned all about it. Klausner was the screenwriter for the 2014 hit movie Date Night, which starred Steve Carell and Tina Fey. He also wrote Shrek Forever After. And now he’s written and is directing The Enchanted Forest." http://www.danspapers.com/2016/11/the-enchanted-forest-films-in-the-hamptons/ From 'Current Basic Agreement Production List - 11/4/2016 - Directors Guild of America' "Enchanted Forest, The Enchanted Cottage, Inc.

  • Put in 311 complaint about the rat and improper garbage disposal situation. — TribecaMom on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Erik, Call the MS foundation, they are located downtown, they should be aware of this type of harassment, we females have come/fought too hard to go backwards now with this disrespect.. this is horrific!!! And as a female scary.. — kim on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Yep. Went there tonight instead of WGangs. Would have been a lot easier to go the 1.5 blocks with our 6 month old, but didn't feel morally right until this is straightened out. Hope they do the right thing. — Sara Colodner on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • 1. I'm horrified and was actually going to go there for dinner tonight and decided against it until I hear how the restaurant responds/handled this. 2. Despite #1 I do think the rat thing historically had more to do with the empty lot which is now being built right there (exacerbated by the garbage by WGangs) THAT SAID they need to dispose of garbage better and leave less food on the sidewalk. — Sara Colodner on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Erik, thank you for posting this. People need to pay attention and take action- like you have. Note to the public: my studio is a safe place for women, lgbtq, everyone. If you're in the area and need an ally please find us- we do not accept, condone, allow, shrug our shoulders at- this treatment of women, — Karen Lord on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Restaurants are companies. Companies are made of people. People can choose to be on the right side of humanity, as did the Brandy Library staff: http://www.eater.com/2016/10/20/13336760/brandy-library-date-essay — Duane Street on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • It's shocking to see how many of our neighbors voted for the soon to be PGIC (Pussy Grabber In Chief). — KP on In the News: How People Around Here Voted

  • Spit in their food. — jfrankp on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • You are doing the right thing. — Noah on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • I thought I was the only one who noticed that! I swear, I thought I saw Templeton from Charlotte's Web there. I'm kind of a gross guy so the truth is unclean dining environment doesnt doesn't bother me. Condoning the harassment of women sure does bother me, so I'm switching to Palm. Plus Palm has that hickory barbecue smoked steak thing. — Noah on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • OK, Palm from now on. — Noah on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • The three women told their story on Restaurant's FB page. — Kirra Steel on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Crossed off my list. — A. on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Would it be preferable to hold the boorish men accountable rather than the staff? Absolutely. But we still need everyone, everywhere, to say, "This will not be allowed here." — Erik Torkells on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Not on Twitter. — Erik Torkells on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Has the restaurant released a statement yet? — JL on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • There are truths here, but they're hard to sort out (everything seems a bit of a challenge to sort out at the moment, I'll admit). But one truth is that this establishment's audience (I've eaten there a few times, and as steak houses go, it's fine) is the same audience it's always been. The makeup of our neighborhood hasn't changed to any extent in the past month or two. So to hold the service staff accountable, or even the restaurant ownership, seems a particularly ineffective strategy for dealing with this issue. I regret that I can't offer anything better, however. If efforts are made to turn people of conscience off to this place, the result may be that 100% of its patrons will be like those in this anecdote. But the impulse is understandable. The non-homo sapiens rats are another story... — David G. Imber on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Not to mention this place is crawling with rats at night. The 3 other eating establishments on this street do a great job of keeping garbage secure at night, but this place is a frickin' RAT buffet at night. Go by there any morning early and there is food waste scattered everywhere. Health department should shut it down. — BN on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Thanks. Can now cross them off my list of restaurants I want to try. — KP on Yes, It Can Happen Here

  • Not true. The start is imminent. — James on Seen & Heard: Wandering Bull

  • hello all, Just as a reminder, today (November 12th) over thirty of the artists’ studios inside 368 and 373 Broadway are opening their doors so you can wander around, meet the artists, and see their work. It’s today between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's free and a fun way to spend a nice Saturday afternoon. — Josh on Seen & Heard: Tribeca Menswear Day Is Today

  • Someone who lives nearby or owns a business nearby should email CB1 at man01@cb.nyc.gov and ask them to find out from the Department of Buildings and/or Transportation whether the developer can be asked to reinstate the sidewalks (at least the one on Greenwich) until a start-date for construction has been set. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Wandering Bull
