I'm glad this got approved, but I'm so confused how CB1 operates. Does anyone remember the bar that tried to open on Laight in the space that is now Bel Ange? Laight Street is infinitely busier than Washington Street, yet CB1 declined the application and neighbors came out in droves to oppose the bar. What gives? — H on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry

Re: a "commercial dishwasher for the skilled nursing facility at NYC Health + Hospitals/Gouverneur" I am shocked that the facility does not have one and also that it is reliant on residents to vote in order to obtain one. The City can't buy this equipment for a nursing facility - but has money to expand a bike lane for World Cup tourists? Really disturbing IMO — Lisa on Participatory Budgeting voting is open now

"My dog doesn't sh*t on the turf"...said every dog owner who's dog sh*t on the turf. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Lone voice here. Not advocating for breaking the law and agree dog owners need/must pick up their poop etc. But as a lapsed Londoner (20 years in Tribeca ) and dog owner, I miss the dog sitting under the bar stall or laying under the coffee table. Dogs are or atleast were part of the community. Reading the above is sad, it really is health and safety gone mad. The only logical conclusion is to ban people, as well dogs, because of the mess and potential threat some of them present. The tone of the above comments are aggressive, partisan and show a lack of understanding for the fellow traveler in life. We used to sleep with animals because they kept us warm and alive now we won't let them share and live in our surroundings. Next up will be the campaign by the health and safety put "people first" lobby to stop dogs off leash before 9am in central park - an absolute joy to behold. It's coming. No bars, no restaurants, no dogs, no kids what is Tribeca becoming ? — Will on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Well said all of the above comments. Another Room is part of the community, a well loved low key bar, exactly what we want. I live on the same block as Bubbys and Walkers and just up from Puffys. My 5 year old and two year old know the staff and regular patrons well as well as our neighbors. They feel safer for having Jane Jacob's "eyes in the street", plus a real sense of what community means - sharing your neighborhood with others from all backgrounds. Shame on Tribecas trying to close all bars, restaurants and more down. On trying to prevent the city from being the city we love. When she grows up let's hope there is still some of the community left for Greta to enjoy. This is New York City. — Will on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry

Fair. Good point. There are zero places for dogs who need to stretch their legs to do so grass, and if humans tried running barefoot everywhere, they'd understand. — Humble Neighbor on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Agreed. I'm more concerned that 11 year old Greta is apparently crossing the street by herself at 11pm-1am when the drunks are out. When I was a Tribeca teenager coming home late, my mom would always advise me to walk down the streets where there were restaurants/bars open: eyes on the street, Jane Jacobs style, is safer than an empty street! — Elizabeth on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry

ABC7 is reporting "It all started when an emotionally disturbed woman called 911 to report a burglary at her apartment. She claimed someone broke in and set her apartment on fire with Molotov cocktails. However officials say it turns out she started a small fire in her apartment that was quickly extinguished." — KB on Fire on Murray Street caused no injuries

We have breakfast at Kaffe across from Whole Foods Sunday mornings as a family. We’re eating at the long bench table and a guy sits down across from us—he has his son (in a stroller) and a medium sized dog. He got a coffee and something for his son and sits at the long bench table. Others are around the table eating and drinking. He then proceeds to have the dog sit next to him on the bench for 15 minutes. Many got up and left. We were in the middle of eating breakfast and no other tables were open. We love dogs, but where are the manners? Unfortunately we all know the employees aren’t going to say anything but we rethink going there now bc it’s every time so either expect it or change the venue so we don’t get grossed out. — Lorena on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Well Said! — Tri Becca on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Imagine being a transplant moving to New York City for the kind of lively energy that defines it, but expecting a quiet, suburban-style environment to raise kids. If what you really want is peace, then moving to a city like this probably isn’t the best fit, now is it? NYC has always been known for its chaos, culture, and nonstop activity that gives it life (be reminded that many used to be scared to even visit NYC due to this very reason). Putting too many restrictions on the very businesses and spaces that bring people together risks dulling that identity. That energy is what makes New York, New York, and it’s worth preserving rather than reshaping it to match a quieter, more suburban area for people that aren't even from here. NYC has never been that, not known for that and shouldn't become that. — NYC Culture on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry

Talg, Why can't you take your dog to the nearby dog park? — Elizabeth on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

This business has been a cornerstone of Tribeca, and has never been a problem. They shouldn’t see their hours change because through no fault of their own, they lost their lease so the building could be demolished. As you note, it was very popular with other restaurant workers in the area, that was largely because they were open when those people got out of work. And to the neighbors complaining, they chose to live in an area zoned for warehouses and industrial business, they shouldn’t have any real say in a small bar opening there. — Reademan on Anotheroom aims to open on Washington and Vestry

Not taking that bait. I hope you find healing, Talg. — Duane Street on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Hey TALG……anger issues?? And no……my kid does not s**t on the lawn that kids play on. Enjoy your day. — Francesco on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

You really need better mental models to help you understand the world you live in. Some rules are reasonable all of the time. Some are reasonable most of the time. Most are reasonable only some of the time. You can keep waiting at every intersection for the crosswalk to tell you it's okay to cross the street; keep going through the cattle chutes at Whole Foods when every register is open; and keep doing whatever else makes you feel civil. I don't live that way. Never will. My dog goes to the bathroom with astounding regularity. She's played in that certain sacred grass scores of times. Zero accidents. I'm not going to deny her the enjoyment of something she loves just because you think she's going to do something that I know she won't. If she does, shit happens. I've literally seen dead bodies laying on that turf. Your kid will survive a few shit particles on his cleats. And if you're going to make a common sense argument, it helps if it doesn't glaringly demonstrate both a lack of common sense and critical reasoning skills. To wit, you're arguing that it's common sense to not allow dogs to play where kids play when precisely that is occurring and socially acceptable in parks, backyards, houses and beds all over the city. And your equating kids playing soccer in a dog park to dogs defecating where kids play as if you can't reason out the correct answer to the following: Playing soccer in a dog park is most like which of the following: (a) a dog defecating where kids play (b) a dog playing catch where kids play But in your defense, you were right about common sense being in short supply even if you did arrive there in embarrassing fashion. — Talg on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Where is Mayor Humdinger?? — Cruella de Vil on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

There are rules for a reason, mostly these days because they provide a lowest common denominator for civility for people who should know better. I wouldn't have my kid play soccer in a dog run; you shouldn't have your dog defecating on grass where kids play. Common sense. Which is obviously in short supply. — Downtown Dad Reborn on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

The same issue with dogs loose and soiling an active playing turf field also occurs at the JJ Walker Playground field on Hudson and Clarkson Streets. The field signage clearly says NO PETS. The field is used by Little Leagues, softball, soccer, field hockey, day camps, after school programs etc.. The dog presence is pretty disgusting and in summer the dog urine odor is intense. — Lassie on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?
