UI isn't great, but you leave out part of the story: -Regular UI duration extended during the pandemic -Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (added on top of regular UI) of $300 per week since December 2020 and $600 per week before that. -No federal taxes on the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits (if you earned less than $150,000 as an individual in 2020) — James on Local restaurants struggle with staffing issues
Square Diner? — James on Where in Tribeca?
"Generous unemployment"? LOL. The maximum regular UI in NY State is $504. Massachusetts is $855. Minnesota is $762, NJ at $713. Montana pays more at $552. NY UI has always been a joke. — mruptight on Local restaurants struggle with staffing issues

A group received landmarks approval to build a condo 3 or 4 years ago, but never moved forward. Maybe they were unable to line up financing. — Reademan on Nosy Neighbor: Are the idling trucks on White legal?

I worked downtown for many years and remember seeing this man who was always smiling. He made me smile. RIP Larry. He wasn't 66 though, he was 63 (much too young to leave this planet that needs more people like him). — Sherri Rosen on Larry Powell, a fixture for many on Warren Street, dies at 66
I am sorry to hear of this. Alas I did not know Larry or even know of him. I live just six blocks north on West Broadway from what used to be his corner. An illustration of how, in New York, neighborhoods contain smaller neighborhoods -- and those contain even smaller ones. — George Bacon on Larry Powell, a fixture for many on Warren Street, dies at 66

Margaret Chin ought to speak forcefully to the City councilperson who failed to successfully advocate for an East Broadway revitalization all these years . Who could that be? — James on Seen & Heard: Math festival on Saturday
Had I seen this yesterday, I would have attended. Always a gracious presence. Washed my car many a time when I had one & always a great job. I was always happy to see him: a swell guy! — Ben on Larry Powell, a fixture for many on Warren Street, dies at 66
I love your description of what makes a neighborhood. I have certainly felt that in the decade plus that I have lived downtown. I never met Larry but walked by him countless times and would always wave or smile. He was always working hard and I thought that if I ever got a car I would introduce myself and see if he wanted a new customer! Condolences to his family. — Lisa on Larry Powell, a fixture for many on Warren Street, dies at 66
R.I.P Larry. You were a welcome presence in the neighborhood. Condolences to his family. — Johnny Mac on Larry Powell, a fixture for many on Warren Street, dies at 66
I COMPLETELY agree. — RG on Nosy Neighbor: Are the idling trucks on White legal?
I live one block away from White/6th Ave. Our quality of live has been greatly altered since Covid. Amazon delivery trucks had multiplied as they now are also in the food business. Sidewalks have become the sorting station every afternoon. The proliferation of roof gardens and outdoor space between buildings also encouraged unbridled late night reveling during lock-down and beyond. Then came the out of control outdoor dining which can be quite noisy as well. Police rarely responded to any complaints. — R. on Nosy Neighbor: Are the idling trucks on White legal?
