I could not agree more. There is a potentially dangerous person around the kids in our neighborhood and the parents are only looking out for their kids. — Dave on Suspected Predator Arrested at Ball Fields

The EDC? You must be kidding. I have dealt with trying to get information on Pier 17 from the EDC from 2004 till August 2013 and all you get is the runaround. In fact recently I asked the EDC to certify FOIL Documents that they themselves produced to me and 16 other tenants in our 2004 lawsuit against HHC (in day 45 of Supreme Court trial right now) and I was promptly confronted by the EDC In house Counsel (a nasty lady) who told me they would not certify their own documents on the demolition of the Pier. We are talking a KGB organization operating right here in NYC. Why don't they just be honest and refer to themselves as EDC/HHC/KGP and be upfront about how they operate. The EDC has spent public funds overseeing (now the third version) of redevelopment for Pier 17. FIRST Cerq Du Soliel 2002-05 Second GGPs Hotel stuff 2005-2010 including GGP bankruptcy Third HHC hotel stuff , Currently in the woodchipper. Simply Seafood is one of our litigants and is a holdout in the Pier at the moment. Our case # is 707603/2004 if anybody from CB1 (another hollow, self seving organization) cases to read some real Rouse/GGP/HHC dirty laundry. EDC. Sink it along with Pier 17 when it goes. — Gerry Nally Pier 17 tenant 85-2007 on In the News: South Street Seaport Stonewalling

While protecting their kids, those parents are doing a disservice to the community. The more complaints filed the better the chance that this predator can be stopped. Yes, their child will not be traumatized but someone else's child might disappear. — TribecaMom on Suspected Predator Arrested at Ball Fields

Re: waterfront - why is the EDC so tight lipped on the plans for redevelopment. Surely they can understand that they are only generating more frustration and concern by residents. Frankly I think it would make economic sense for Howard Hughes to pay homage to the long standing traditions of the seaport and fish market. Who elects or created the EDC? I assume they have to be a public entity - would be very interesting to hear their thoughts on the matter. — Rohin on In the News: South Street Seaport Stonewalling

now all they need to do is put a trader joe's where food emporium.. — toni on Here Comes Fairway Market

I think it's hard to compare the size of WF, which probably includes the upstairs area and definitely includes the Dosa & Sushi island, suburban-style-wide aisles, the big free standing low freezers and refrigerator cases by the fish and meat counters to a typical jam-packed to the rafters Fairway in order to estimate how many products they will offer. According to the Fairway site, the Red Hook store is 52K sf and Kips Bay is 42 K sf, so if the Post has correct details, this is going to be a serious store and a terrific addition to the neighborhood. — N on Seen & Heard: 1WTC’s Spire Changes Colors

That's the end of Food Emporium. The Kips Bay Fairway is only 42K sq ft. and it's much more comprehensive in terms of selection than FE (cleaner and cheaper too) — N on Here Comes Fairway Market

Very Happy about this news!! I used to drive to 125th street to shop there. Then I drove to Red Hook to shop there . Now I can walk!!! — Erica on Here Comes Fairway Market

Great news. Now, let's lobby for a Trader Joe's. — betty on Here Comes Fairway Market

A little competition is never a bad thing for us customers :)! — Rohin on Here Comes Fairway Market

Fairway likes this location because it's near corporate lunch crowds both current and forthcoming who only have an hour. Res grocery shoppers will make the trek. North Tribeca is swell, but no foot traffic. — jfrankp on Here Comes Fairway Market

Terrific news. Fairway is an excellent market. It's also very different than Whole Foods. We'd all love a good store like this in our neighborhoods - like BPC! However, this is still great news. — SirPoochala on Here Comes Fairway Market

A little overkill for that area. Couldn't they have found space in North Tribeca. There's nothing up that way. — TribecaMom on Here Comes Fairway Market

really? wow, that will be excellent! — Liat on Here Comes Fairway Market

Dbaggishness...how novel. — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Free Broadway Concert

Unfortunately, I would not recommend shopping at this store. If you only buy one bottle of wine Rom does not consider you worthy of being referred to as a "customer." In fact, he acts as if anyone who wants to participate in their free events and would like to know if their seat to the event has been reserved is just trying to get some free wine and does not deserve to be treated with dignity and with respect. I concur with Jenny's 6/12/13 comment. — Sue on Vestry Wines Is Now 24 Hubert Wines

I'm glad to see Toronto's much loved Susar Lee is giving New York another try. — Andrea on In the News: Bikes Lanes Approved by CB1

@darcy: The guy at the EDC who presented the idea to CB1 never responded to my inquiry about it. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Free Broadway Concert

all this name calling.....what give's?? so, what am I?? I still would like to know of what ever happened to the light show that was suppose to happen this summer on the east river......... shooting from the roof tops and all......??? were did all that money go??? — darcy on Seen & Heard: Free Broadway Concert

Actually, Smithers, I wasn't referring to you, but to Gregggg. I am glad you are defensive about your own Dbaggishness, however. It shows a healthy sense of self. — Doug on Seen & Heard: Free Broadway Concert

Looks like West Broadway, north east corner of Duane, above Balloon Saloon. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca…?
