And remember that when you see bike riders ignoring the traffic signals, en masse, on the Hudson River bike lanes, especially at Houston St. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on In the News: Anthropologie Confirms FiDi Store

True, NYPD could crack down on cars and make mint on tickets for poor driving. But bikers run redlights far more often than cars - and they kill & injure people, too. In the 80s a family friend was killed by a bike messenger running a redlight at Bway in the 50s. Remember that next time you see a bike delivery guy make a left on red going the wrong way in both directions. — j frank on In the News: Anthropologie Confirms FiDi Store

One contributing factor may be the severe winters during the last two years. The snow plows do a number on the cobblestone streets. If there's a loose stone, it will be ripped up by the plow. — Archie on The Sorry State of Greenwich Street

I can not understand the police ticket people on bikes running red lights, etc, but do nothing about cars that run red lights, blow through stops signs and often seriously injure or kill people. — Ariane on In the News: Anthropologie Confirms FiDi Store

Perhaps they shouldn't allow helicopters to fly so early, but the industry creates a lot of high paying blue collar manufacturing jobs-- not the kind of jobs that are that common today and the movie business is one of the few industries where the US still leads. — Bostonia on About That Annoying Helicopter

Film shoots employ a lot of New Yorkers while they definitely create a temporary inconvenience for residents like us. The film business is one of the last industries where the product is manufactured in the United States and the US leads the world in this export. Most of the jobs created by the industry are blue collar and well paying manufacturing jobs. The guy driving that truck is highly paid and has great insurance and benefits. There are always two sides to every argument. — Bostonia on The Film Shoot Problem and Thoughts on How to Fix It

Running a red light is not quite the same thing as not using a hand signal. I saw someone do a hand signal the other day and it took me a second to figure out what she was doing because nobody *ever* does them. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Anthropologie Confirms FiDi Store

I received a $275 ticket for running a red light on a citi bike on Hudson and Duane about a year ago. I am white. — Jay on In the News: Anthropologie Confirms FiDi Store

White kid or Black? I don't see Whites, Asians or Latinos pulled over for bike infractions. Like all those deliverymen riding bikes with illegal motors. Or those White folk illegally riding on the sidewalk. — A. on In the News: Anthropologie Confirms FiDi Store

Oh yes, it is so unfair to profile a teen male popping wheelies on a Citi Bike when theft of Citi Bikes is rampant You are so educated and enlightened to point this out to us Reminds me of Seinfeld recently saying that dimwits in college just want to use the word racism because it makes them feel smart — gggg on In the News: Anthropologie Confirms FiDi Store

Kristen, we have been emailing and all emails have gone unanswered. Do you have another suggestion as to how we can contact someone at the spa, or who is representing the spa during this transition? I, like many others, have a rather large gift certificate that needs to be rectified. This has been going on for way too long without any end in sight, or resolution offered ...... or even a simple response to an email. — Nicole on Euphoria Spa Is Moving

I'm sure the argument is that it's not being demolished as long as certain structural elements are there. Many buildings that appear to be torn down and built anew are actually approved by the DOT as conversions or partial demolitions—sometimes even because they only take down one half at a time—which for reasons I don't understand is less bureaucratically burdensome than a full demolition permit. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: A Second Ghostbusters Emblem

Not an approval for demolition. — James on Seen & Heard: A Second Ghostbusters Emblem

How many Universes are there? — Jim Smithers on In the News: Robert De Niro’s Tribeca

DeNiro made Tribeca? in what universe? It was well on its way in the 1980's. DeNiro's was part of the investment group that founded Tribeca Grill - in 1990. The only thing he can be credited for was the founding of the Tribeca Film Festival after 9/11, to help revive the neighborhood. — A. on In the News: Robert De Niro’s Tribeca
