K ..... Reading your response above leads me to believe that you either have very poor reading comprehension, that you are the owner or someone affiliated with Tiny's or that they told you to post this. In that case, let me explain this more clearly so even you can understand. I personally am aware of FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES that the fire department was outside of Tiny's BECAUSE OF FIRES INSIDE THEIR FIREPLACE! The most recent one was this past Sunday, March 14. Since I am not always outside or passing by, there could possibly have been even more than FIVE FIRES inside of their place that the neighbors and I did not personally know about. If they cared enough about safety and made sure the fireplace and chimney were cleaned and maintained properly this wouldn't be an issue. This does not surprise anyone in the area since rules do not apply to Tiny's and they ignore anything that they do not want to fix or take care of. This is not a matter of chimney smoke coming from them. It is a matter of their being uninterested in even maintaining and cleaning their fireplace before they set these beautiful landmark buildings on fire due to their negligence and their possibly even killing people and/or destroying businesses near them. In addition, their chimney smoke is directly under my friend's window and it comes out of THEIR chimney into HER apartment. It is not coming from anywhere else and they have ignored her each time she complained. So basically, it is not a matter of the number of people that want everything to close or everyone to leave. We only want you or Tiny's to close, you or Tiny's to leave or you or Tiny's to do the right thing. We do not want to leave, we want the inconsiderate people to leave. By the way, based on what you wrote, you seem to know about others that have these feelings about Tiny's too so there is obviously more to what I am complaining about here. — Mrs. Chanusha on Challah Dolly x Tiny’s + matzo ball soup on Fridays

Yes, let's shut down a wonderful local business because you don't want to smell chimney smoke. I'm fairly certain that isn't the only wood burning fireplace in lower Manhattan. I'm always amazed by the number of people down here that want everything to close and everyone to leave. Maybe it's time for you to leave. — K on Challah Dolly x Tiny’s + matzo ball soup on Fridays

J Frank I totally agree with you. Spitting needs to be a hate crime! — Native on Asian hate crimes, on our doorstep

1st Precinct should resist offering legal advice as if they decide what happens to charges after arrest. Plenty of examples of spitting charged as a hate crime. — J Frank P on Asian hate crimes, on our doorstep

I think Brandy Library reopens tonight as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMhc9-5Mkhr/ — person on The Patriot is back open

It’s heart breaking. AG James also urges New Yorkers who are victims and witnesses of hate crimes to call her office : 1-800-771-7755. — j. on Asian hate crimes, on our doorstep

so so sad and disturbing what is going on. Will be at the Rally on Sunday. This needs to end! — NATIVE on Asian hate crimes, on our doorstep

Not only do we not need more office space in Lower Manhattan, we definitely do not need more numbingly boring and intrusive architecture. — Heide Fasnacht on In the News: A vision for Canal and Varick

This much better than the Gene Kaufman garbage YIMBY posted about. Not sure where all the 250 Water Street NIMBYS are when you need em. — FiDiGuy on Potential plans for 600-foot building at 267 Broadway

I live across the street and saw fire trucks there FIVE times and these people should be closed down. G-d only knows how many other times they might have burned the block down when I wasn’t passing and I didn’t see the fire department! Not to mention, my friends live on Duane St. and they get all of their awful chimney smoke in their apartments, which they complain to Tiny’s about to no avail. They are really terrible people! — Mrs. Chanusha on Challah Dolly x Tiny’s + matzo ball soup on Fridays

Personally don’t mind. Murray is eerily quiet at night time and can almost feel a tad sketchy. If the bar is operated properly it could be a plus to have additional eyes on the street. — 111 Murray Resident on CB1 thwarts plans for a sports bar at 41 Murray

Wow, all those apartments at 270 Broadway will lose their south facing windows. Beware of lot lines! — DTWNNYC on Potential plans for 600-foot building at 267 Broadway

"Class A office space is planned to occupy floors seven through 25, with the podium levels measuring 19,000 square feet per floor and the upper stories spanning 16,000 square feet apiece with 16-foot-high ceilings." Just what NYC needs, another 300,000 SF of office space... — james on In the News: A vision for Canal and Varick

wow nice to know! I love David Yurman jewelry! My favorite store in Soho!! Never knew they are my neighbors! — Native on In the News: A vision for Canal and Varick

I'm pretty sure their plans are stalled. It's my understanding Roe has been trying to sell the property along with their development plans for a couple years now. — Makes You Ho Hmmmm.... on Potential plans for 600-foot building at 267 Broadway

That space is pretty small so it will just be another nail salon with some closed off space for facials. It will be one of the smallest nail salons in Tribeca, space-wise. And no, we don't need another nail salon in the neighborhood! — dtnycma on A private spa is coming to Reade Street

Well judging from the two responses here, I am happy to say the SEAPORT GUY has intelligence. Firstly, there is no good enough reason the Howard Huges Corp can give to have LANDMARKS change rules for them. They have no regard for laws, rules, or anything else involving our neighborhood’s schools or children. 345 feet as opposed to 120 is insane. Our neighborhood has enough homeless issues beginning with a murder right down the street. The area is filled with our children during the day. LANDMARKS - either stick to the rules or become totally useless, in which case you may as well dissolve the commission and go home. Show me one wonderful thing in the again newly renovated Seaport by Howard Huges that has enhanced the living conditions in our neighborhood. — Karen on Howard Hughes revises plans for 250 Water

Just what we don't need another nail/beauty salon — K on A private spa is coming to Reade Street

This is so wonderful. I will be going to Tiny’s for challah and telling all of my friends as well. — Baruch Kaplan on Challah Dolly x Tiny’s + matzo ball soup on Fridays

The City and Howard Hughes Corp squeezed the Museum in the first place, denying it the revenue stream from rents it should have to keep afloat. Now HHC is using the Museum and letters from all of its own tenants to plead its case in front of Landmarks Preservation Commission. HHC isn't even hiding its contempt for the community since: ..It now won't reveal the amount of its bribe for the Museum ..It has offered the minimum number of "affordable units" in a segregated section of another luxury building that we don't need, ..It has quickly lopped off a meager 10 stories, grabbed another off-shelf plan and is offering an uglier, bulkier, totally out of scale building in a protected Historic District beloved by millions of New Yorkers, local residents and international tourists alike. The bleak future: If HHC wins, they will go back to Texas, laughing all the way to the bank, with huge profits after paying an obscene over-market rate for the lot, knowing full well it is zoned for 120 feet. Saul Scherl will get his 1.5 million bonus (how many low income units?) for getting it approved before December when duped electeds Brewer and Chin leave office. The Historic District will then have to fight hovering developers waiting for precedents to be set so they can to put up their buildings in the District. Result: The low-scale Seaport Historic District, birthplace of modern New York, enjoyed by so many, will look no different from the rest of hi-rise NY with an occasional historic house squoshed in between. — Linda Hellstrom on Howard Hughes revises plans for 250 Water

You are missing the point here. The massive skyscrapers are not leaving enough light and air - there has to be breathing space SOMEWHERE. All that empty space in the "massive skyscrapers" is also ripe for conversion. The French architects who just won the Pritzker Prize for converting existing commercial space into affordable housing are on to something. I used to work for the Seaport Museum, I am devoted to it, but this is not the way to go. — ZE on Howard Hughes revises plans for 250 Water

LOL thanks tough guy — AA on Howard Hughes revises plans for 250 Water

My point is that the real story is not about how high the structure is going to be or not. Any “story” about this site that does not address the tremendous dangers to CHILDREN is utterly misguided. — AA on Howard Hughes revises plans for 250 Water

As father of two boys who go to school next door to the site - how dare the commenter disrespect one of the moms! And that she shouldn’t worry about neurological problems caused by elemental Mercury? Are you kidding me? Nothing says I care about people and especially low income families like ‘your kids are going to be sh*theads!” Why do you hate NYC so much that you wouldn’t raise your kids here? YOU may hate it here, but we cherish it, and want to share it with our kids. Maybe it’s the haters that should move out. Nobody who lives in the neighborhood likes the parking lot. It has remained a parking lot because the previous owners refused to build ‘as of right’ even after their plans were approved. So it isn’t the neighbors who are clamoring to keep a parking lot! We want it developed, but within the present zoning envelope, which, BTW, is already a compromise from what the other buildings are (4-5 stories) to 120 ft. Yes. The site needs remediation, but forgive us if we don’t trust HHC. The issue is not IF the site is remediated but HOW. It has been like pulling teeth to get them to agree adhere to appropriate safety guidelines, like acknowledging that children and pregnant moms are more sensitive to things like elemental mercury. They are! One of the reasons we wanted the city to oversee this vs the state is because the state Brownfield program takes much of the liability away from the developer. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want someone with a 1.5 million dollar bonus for pushing through approvals by year end, who won’t be responsible for future problems, making any decisions on the cleanup. They are against anything that will slow it down to ensure it is done properly. They have pushed to do environmental impact studies to get the ULURP process rolling before the results were even public on what levels of toxicity were found! Refusing to spend money or waste time with precautions like promising to tent the site in the future. Oh, and before you go ‘talk to a homeless person’, please tell me which homeless man or woman would be moving in to 250 Water Street? Go ahead... waiting...none. Even if it were all MIH ‘affordable housing’ units- at over 2k per month- who is paying that rent? You? This type of affordable housing is a sham. An excuse to break zoning and a political out for politicians who support it. — Seaport Guy on Howard Hughes revises plans for 250 Water
