Ha! A reminder of the late Atlantic Avenue/Boerum Hill Chinese take-out "FU KING Food Shop"...As strategically-mounted as those letters were, I always wondered where the missing "C" went. — BklynBluth on New Kid on the Block: Pho King
Well done! Light and shadow is one of our finest and longest-running art exhibits. And it's free! — Marcus on Shadowland (Vol. 7)
The rendering for 111 Washington is an old one. the current owners are flipping the property so it is unlikely that this is the design that will be used, though it is likely that it will remain a rental building site. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: Last Call at New York Dolls
Simply Amazing ! Just viewed all 7. Thank You — John on Shadowland (Vol. 7)
Hi Erik Re: Garbage Cans - The solution is clear bags with a surrounding hoop enclosure to hold them in place. No can just a bag to hold the garbage. Clear bags = Security Personnel can see what is placed in them... and there is no chance of secondary shrapnel etc if some numnut du hour puts a bomb in there See them all over Europe and think this is the best way to move forward here as well. Certainly better than not having any place to put garbage. — Rohin on Seen & Heard: iPic’s Opening Slate of Movies
Good... But would you say Pho-king Unbelievable? :) — Rohin on New Kid on the Block: Pho King
Their Pho with grilled chicken & Shrimp summer roll were good. — KV on New Kid on the Block: Pho King
I saw very beautiful Fox Fodder Farm flower arrangements at Shinola. Not sure if they still use them, but these florists will be a great addition to the area. — Betty on In the News: More Details on Canal Street Market
World Trade Centre mall could do with more than one entrance that accommodates strollers (or wheelchairs) - have they seen the demographic down here?? — AndyC on Seen & Heard: iPic’s Opening Slate of Movies
anyone try this place yet? — lowphat on New Kid on the Block: Pho King
Just to confuse things even a little but further, the same station is also called World Trade Center for only the E train. Pretty stupid. — resident on Seen & Heard: iPic’s Opening Slate of Movies
Not sure what you mean. I don't have anything against tourists, other than their poor walking habits. And I'm very pro–clear signage. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: iPic’s Opening Slate of Movies
Since when were you the champion of tourists? — John on Seen & Heard: iPic’s Opening Slate of Movies
Then it's consistently confusing. Any tourist who sees "2/3 Chambers Street" would logically think that he/she is at the Chambers station and not the Park Place station. The signs should say "A/C/E Chambers" and "2/3 Park Place." — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: iPic’s Opening Slate of Movies
I'm fairly sure that the subway signage is consistent with the rest of the entrances along Church Street for the A/C/E Chambers Street stop (so if it's confusing, it's always been that way). Once you're inside the fare zone, there's a way to make a free transfer from on or near the E platform to the 2/3 Park Place platform. — NV on Seen & Heard: iPic’s Opening Slate of Movies
Agreed. Or at least tax (and possibly rental) breaks for local and non-chain businesses. I believe other cities have instituted such policies (Boston?). — Marcus on Ghost Town: The Growing Number of Vacant Storefronts in Tribeca
Canal Street Market sounds like a great addition to the neighborhood (although presumably it's actually just across the canal in SoHo, you can row your boat right across in no time). I had assumed, judging by the name, that this would more of a supermarket or department store. Instead, it eems like a far more interesting hybrid between crafts fair, art exhibit, shopping mall, and performance art "happening". May be a risky venture since the items on offer are esoteric and thus their market is unpredictable, though; hope it succeeds. I'll be checking it out as soon as it opens. — Marcus on In the News: More Details on Canal Street Market

Yes, they were truly wonderful. come back to us Willner. We need you. — danielle on Willner Chemists Is Closing
Haha I didn't get it until now. — Kristopher on New Kid on the Block: Pho King
I think there should be a Small & Unique Business ("SUB") law where 30% of a historical retail/commercial district must be rented to one of a kind unique shop/business. (Diversity fuels the imagination and is the vitality of life. I'd be bore eating, buying, thinking, seeing, etc., the same old things everyday of my life.) The SUB would be rent control for business. I don't bother with "shopping" now as most places are flooded with the same BORING big name stores. It's the unique shops that carry non-off-the-shelf products that make shopping interesting. I used to go out to the CT and Long Island for their unique shops--they're all gone now, replaced by rubber-stamp-bland-predictable-big-named stores. The fun about shopping was finding that one uncommon things--that special oddity not made in China (just making a factual statement). That was the joy in shopping: being inspired by another's genius to be different and seeing how such wonders are translated into his/her business. — dana on Ghost Town: The Growing Number of Vacant Storefronts in Tribeca
Are the folks from The Patriot still looking for a site? — SW on The Fight Over a New Greek Restaurant
