Not sure if this answers your question, but the flood zones were indeed updated after Sandy. Previously, the zones were classified A, B and C. The new zones were expanded and now carry numbers from 1-6. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: Wine Shop Transformation

While not directly relevant to The Costal Recovery meeting, In light of the "once in 100 year" floods decimated parts of Lousiana outside of flood zones, I've been wonder whether the post-Katrina flood zones should be updated, and if more buildings should be required to have flood insurance. The Feds put out the flood zones, if I recall correctly, and they are managed by NYC OEM. Something our low lying costal community should be thinking about, perhaps. I'm out of town or I would attend the meeting to get an idea what the current thinking is. — A on Seen & Heard: Wine Shop Transformation

Perfect! — SJW on New Kid on the Block: Pho King

It looks like Authentic is also called 'Leafage on seamless. The apostrophe ensures it's listed first in alphabetical order on seamless. I love the games these restaurants play. — Archie on Seen & Heard: Target’s Opening Date

Harrison is Whole Foods "Jack of all trades." When there is a need, he is right there to help. — Enid on Valentine No. 53

I appreciate that. Perhaps I missed your preference for email on the contact page, but duly noted for future reference. — Brad on In the News: Long-Awaited Street-Fair Reform

Great name. It's right up there with Wong Fook Hing Bookstore in Hong Kong and the Fook Hing Coffin and Casket shop in Malaysia. Nevertheless, I love Vietnamese food and will be sure to try them. — Norm on New Kid on the Block: Pho King

James would love to chat about your above comments if you care to kyle@allgoodthingsny.com. — Under Pin on Seen & Heard: Target’s Opening Date

Most people aren't delicate NIMBY's and say hi or acknowledge Steve's existence, rather than calling the police on him. I'm sure the police are VERY happy to receive your MULTIPLE phone calls about such a pressing issue. Get a clue sweetheart or move back to the South where you and your "glorious" neighbors can complain to each other about how the Country Club has gone downhill since they started letting "Those people in." I hear Charlotte is nice this time of year. Seriously, you live in a city, grow a thicker skin, or at the very least go yell at your architect for not putting better soundproof windows in your renovation plan. — Waylon Smithers on Seen & Heard: Is 101 Warren’s Sidewalk Shed Permanent?

This is a complicated site, with (i) fragile neighboring buildings whose owners do not have to allow possibly necessary underpinning and (ii) a subway tunnel which must be avoided, monitored, and protected during construction of the foundation. Many things could be holding up work. — James on Seen & Heard: Target’s Opening Date

Erik, frankly I'm incredibly grateful you do what you do. The couple of times I've written with tips or suggestions or feedback or whatnot you've been an absolute dear. You're wonderful, you're appreciated and I never miss a post! Thank you. — Will on In the News: Long-Awaited Street-Fair Reform

Regarding the obnoxious Baja East event staged at the Beekman Street parking garage: I live in the neighborhood, and when I approached the thugs guarding the entrance to the event to complain about the noise, I was greeted with a rude response and ordered to leave. When I tried to snap photos of the event as proof of the neighborhood disturbance, someone standing nearby slapped my phone out of my hands and it went crashing to the ground. As I picked up my phone this same person slapped it out of my hands again! Needless to say, this person ran from the event and left me with a $300 phone replacement fee. — Pam on Seen & Heard: Is 101 Warren’s Sidewalk Shed Permanent?

I can't imagine the Landmarks Commission would approve such architecturally inappropriate alterations to these historic buildings. — Jeremy Woodoff on City Building to Get Residential Makeover

Nice addition to the neighborhood, will have to check it out! — Sara Colodner on New Kid on the Block: Giorgia

I'm with Erik on this matter. Texts from people you don't know can be intrusive, emails not so much. Texts tend to be informal. Emails not so much. Whenever I reach out to Erik I send an email and always do so in advance. One text at 6 pm on the day of the event and one at 8 am on a Saturday morning? Seriously people? I could never imagine myself sending a text and then complaining if he didn't text me right back. Erik, you do a great job with your SOP. — PeterD on In the News: Long-Awaited Street-Fair Reform

I'm sorry not to have responded; I hope it can go without saying that I appreciate any and all tips. I did post about the event at https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2016/09/11/seen-heard-is-101-warrens-sidewalk-shed-permanent/. I suppose I could've noted that two people had emailed and texted, but it didn't seem like it would add much. I actually try to say that kind of thing a lot, so it's clear I value the input, but at some point it does get repetitive to readers. I'm pretty good about responding in general—much better than most media outlets, I'd wager. You texted me at 8am on a Saturday, so it's also entirely possible I just didn't feel like working at that moment, and then I forgot about it. (If you email, it sits in my inbox till I do something about it. There really should be a way to mark texts as "unread.") I get a lot of texts and emails—that's life when you have a publicly available cell-phone number, but it can be exhausting. Texts carry an air of urgency that they don't always earn, and the anonymity of them (all I see is a phone number) is off-putting at times. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Long-Awaited Street-Fair Reform

Not to pile on, but agreed. I also texted (in a very nice manner and sans expletives) a short FYI and a video. I didn't even get a response...not that I needed one, but an acknowledgement of trying to help you, your site, and the broader community would've been nice. — Brad on In the News: Long-Awaited Street-Fair Reform

I would call it matter-of-fact, not snide. At 6pm on a Friday, you emailed (without introducing yourself) a photo and this: "Wtf is this? It's on top of the parking garage on Beekman between Pace dorm and Beekman Pub." "It looks like a party," I replied. I was just answering your question. Was it obvious that you wanted more? Was I supposed to run over and investigate? Don't you live across the street? One of the things I dislike most about doing this site is having to receive random, anonymous bursts of negativity. Sometimes I feel like Nathanael West's Miss Lonelyhearts—people feel better for venting, but I'm left with the residue. Honestly, if you had stated who you are and avoided starting the email with an expletive, I probably would've been nicer. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Long-Awaited Street-Fair Reform

Re: Street Fairs - Great news. Probably the first strong positive feeling I have had for any of Mayor De Blasio's policies since taking office. A bit of community involvement is certainly a much needed change Thanks for sharing the good news. — Rohin on In the News: Long-Awaited Street-Fair Reform

Eric - love the site. The neighborhood wouldn't be the same without you and your work. But I have to say ...I sent you a text about that party before 6p that night and all I got from you was a snide remark. You really missed this story as it was happening and chose to make fun of me and my concern. Hopefully you will think about that next time. — Chris on In the News: Long-Awaited Street-Fair Reform
