You sound like an opinion piece in the NY Times — j frank p on Maud Maron will run as an independent for City Council
Maud is a joke hence why she did so poorly. My guess is that she splits votes with the Republican candidate and gets less than 10%. — Rose on Maud Maron will run as an independent for City Council
I'm afraid not. The tree planted for Nick is completely dead. — TC on Nosy Neighbor: What happened to the tree in front of PS 234?
That shed has been up for way longer than that -- and I have asked the BOE for an answer on it at least 5 times. I will continue to ask -- and I will repoint the thing myself if they will let me. — Tribeca Citizen on Nosy Neighbor: What happened to the tree in front of PS 234?
Great to see you promo Untermyer Gardens. I did a day trip there not long after the NYT ran this beguiling story on them by architecture writer Eve Kahn, in 2012: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/20/arts/untermyer-gardens-in-yonkers-is-being-tended-once-again.html. The Times also ran this fabulous photo gallery by Librado Romero: https://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2012/07/20/arts/20120720-UNTERMYER/s/20120720-UNTERMYER-slide-2EU4.html. In my opinion, your correspondent overstated the difficulty of getting there, as I did, by public transportation. Metro-North's Greystone station is just 41 minutes from Grand Central, and the walk to the gardens from there is shorter than you reported, if approached directly from the west via the Old Croton Trailway, rather than going the long way via Warburton Ave as Google Maps suggests. Yes, the walk is a tad funky, not to mention uphill, but it adds to the adventure and sense of discovery. — Komanoff on Field Trip: Untermyer Gardens
She still "champion of open schools, unmasked kids" as her twitter bio describes? — j frank p on Maud Maron will run as an independent for City Council
Marte a nice guy but big disappointment. He don't care about crime homelessness. Just about defunding the police. So yes Maud! Sorry I don't want to live in an unsafe city which will be the next Cali and I am a Democrat. Doesn't matter what party we are anymore it matters about our city and the safety. Bail reform must end and now. — NATIVE on Maud Maron will run as an independent for City Council
I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, but Maud is the Independent person we need in the City Council. She’s got the guts, the smarts, and the common sense that is often lacking in NYC government. — Richard on Maud Maron will run as an independent for City Council
I didn’t find Nick’s plaque last time I passed by and was quite saddened. Glad to know it’s still there and will definitely pay a visit. — R. on Nosy Neighbor: What happened to the tree in front of PS 234?
Goldman made that announcement in late July...is there an update? — Marc on In the News: Goldman will be strict on vaccines
I’m glad someone else brought that up; the shed has been up for well over three years, yet there’s no one ever working on it. More than a year ago I tried to get an answer from the school’s office, the school’s custodial engineer, and the Department of Education. No one had a clue as to when the eyesore would be taken down, or when someone would actually be working on it, or why it is actually up there in the first place. — NdS on Nosy Neighbor: What happened to the tree in front of PS 234?
maude has a great platform but she was totally outhustled by marte. hope she can up her game as independent — scared on Maud Maron will run as an independent for City Council
How about the sidewalk shed eyesore that's been around the school for well over a year with no visible construction work going on? — RPG on Nosy Neighbor: What happened to the tree in front of PS 234?

Tickets are $78 and reservations are open from Oct 8-31. https://feverup.com/m/101292?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=rmkt&utm_campaign=101292_nyc&fbclid=IwAR0awnq7cQfLGmaGGQocpnUW61nEqfAp9JNoVY_Hth9QWpXjeLHgHQL47d8 — Jolene on Where on Wall Street? Spooky cocktail soiree coming this fall
This garden has beautiful flowers. Saddens me when I see it filled with trash from people. — j. on Nosy Neighbor: What happened to the tree in front of PS 234?
Outstanding project! Can you imagine seeing one of Jackson Pollocks most beautiful works on view here. I can😎 — Tony Pepitone on The Perelman PAC has topped out and interior construction has begun
As a curious bystander, does anyone know why the storefront next to the Patriot Saloon on Chambers has been untouched? I know it used to be a Popeyes but it shuttered LONG ago and it still has the signature color scheme on it even with the sign long gone. — Anonymous on Seen & Heard: 250 Water brownfield cleanup hearings
PPAC — maryna lansky on The Perelman PAC has topped out and interior construction has begun
That tree was not planted for Nick The tree planted for Nick has a small sign at its base and it is in the next garden plot over (to the North) on the street side. The tree is doing very well. — George on Nosy Neighbor: What happened to the tree in front of PS 234?
Yes!! Well done, Remington Steele! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?
Thanks for the tip about Ahmed's coffee stand. I grabbed a coffee there this morning, very good! — Kristin on Seen & Heard: Five Boro Bike Tour on Sunday
^^^^ Look who showed! Dr Jeanne Moore. — Kim on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed in Liberty Park?
This hotel has been a HORRIBLE neighbor already. Air horns and sawing start at 7 AM - ON SATURDAYS! - and I get home tonight to more sawing, concrete trucks, and construction crew whistling and yelling AFTER 9 PM (they do have a permit from 6-9PM today and tomorrow.) I simply cannot imagine what they will be like once they're open! Completely disrespectful of all of us and local laws. — ANGRY NEIGHBOR on Firmdale to operate 86 Warren hotel
Is this the signage in the window of the new Cafe Clementine location on Greenwich? — Remington on Where in Tribeca?
S The Tour which started in 1977 has had to adapt to a changing city. The start line area originally was pretty much non residential as was the industrial waterfront of Queens and Brooklyn-now look at Dumbo. The organizers work hard to minimize inconvenience to residents but acknowledge they do exist. The talks with local community boards are done in good faith, in an effort to get along with our fellow New Yorkers. I would add that this event occurs one day a year-imagine the disruptions for folks that live along 5th Ave. I will add that the logistics of running a 30,000+ person event on bicycles are quite complicated and the idea of starting at Battery Park on the surface make sense but keep in mind the line of cyclists waiting to start the tour stretches from the start line almost all the way down to Battery Park. Only a few thousand of the 30,000 come over from Staten Island in the morning. The Tour is a world class event that fellow residents as well as visitors from all over the world come to NYC to ride in. Lastly the funds raised support the free classes that Bike New York provides in the 5 Boroughs, mostly in economically disadvantaged and underserved communities. — Diamond on Seen & Heard: Five Boro Bike Tour on Sunday
