Darla, DeBlasio's policies, approach, inaction, absenteeism, can all be blamed for the mess this city is in. there is no plan for homeless, has instructed police to be hands off, defunds the police, abolishes anti crime unit, moves homeless into hotels in residential ares, on and on I could go. these incidents are becoming daily occurrences with no end or action in sight. DeBlasio spending his time these days trying to find something for the Mrs. to do and dancing in times square on New Years Eve. Worst Mayor Ever and I am a born and raised NYC and have seen a few! — S on Man terrorizes the neighborhood for an hour, sending eight to the hospital
He will be out in a day....sad city we live in...he should be put on death row and not see the day of light again for what he did...that is my personal opinion. dont care what his issues are. never allowed in public again as long as this piece of garbage is alive. — jon grat on Man terrorizes the neighborhood for an hour, sending eight to the hospital
This is really poorly written. Journalism needs to be proofread and edited. — Eve Meltzer on Man terrorizes the neighborhood for an hour, sending eight to the hospital
Oh no....this is 100% DeBalsio..! — Marc on Man terrorizes the neighborhood for an hour, sending eight to the hospital
I disagree. It is the fundamental responsibility of any government to protect its citizens. The mayor is in charge of the police, who he has tasked to provide that protection on the local level. He directly controls how effective they are (or are not). As such, he bears full responsibility for not adequately protecting every single one of these victims. — Robert on Man terrorizes the neighborhood for an hour, sending eight to the hospital
So silly. DiBlasio cannot be held responsible for every crazy lunatic. Maybe we should blame Trump. Or Obama. or Hillary.. Maybe you should blame Bryan Thompson. The actual perpetrator. — Darla on Man terrorizes the neighborhood for an hour, sending eight to the hospital

The location data is from apps, as the story says (it's in their Q&A as well). Once they have the location data they assign it a median income based on the US Census, specifically the American Community Survey 2018. — Tribeca Citizen on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca
More local lawlessness. If only there were a police station or two nearby... https://nypost.com/2021/01/03/bat-wielding-man-injures-multiple-people-in-nyc-in-crime-spree/ "A crazed man left 10 people injured and a wild trail of destruction behind him during a Manhattan rampage Saturday night that involved subway assaults, street beat-downs and two carjackings, according to cops and police sources. "Suspect Bryan Thompson, 43, of Atlantic City, NJ, was wielding what his victims said was everything from a bat to tree branch to wooden clubs — or all of the above at various times — as he raged from Tribeca to Chelsea for less than an hour, police and sources said. [...] "He was in the station at Varick and Canal streets when he battered at least three people — a 39-year-old woman, 18-year-old Manhattan man and 57-year-old guy — over the head 'with a wooden weapon' in 'unprovoked' attacks on the uptown No. 2 (sic) train platform, the NYPD said. [...] "Thompson then fled the subway and hit another 39-year-old woman on the street nearby with the same object, police said. Then he spotted a 39-year-old man in or next to a parked idling SUV on Seventh Avenue near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel and allegedly attacked him, cutting him on the forehead. The victim fled, leaving his vehicle running, and Thompson hopped behind the wheel and zoomed off, cops said. "He smashed the speeding black SUV into two parked unoccupied vehicles before crashing it around Sixth Avenue and Laight Street, police said. Thompson then dumped the car and tried to carjack a 2006 Ford Taurus from a woman by breaking its rear window and attempting to drag her from the vehicle, they said. "He eventually threw in the towel on that carjacking, moving on to a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee nearby, police said. He allegedly broke a side window of the car and tried to swipe it from its 32-year-old female driver, again to no avail. [...] "The frustrated Thompson ran off again — only to attack two people, beating them with 'a wooden weapon,' walking near the Hilton Garden Inn, police said. One of the pedestrians, a 42-year-old Texas man, suffered a broken arm, while the 41-year-old woman with him had a badly bruised and swollen leg, sources said. "Thompson then successfully carjacked his second vehicle, a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, after threatening the 33-year-old male driver who had just parked in front of 66 West Broadway, police said. [...] " — James on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca
Thanks for this. Always friendly and warm feelings every time I stop by for a beer or food. — G on Local Business Update: Mudville 9
Anyone know how they came up with their income estimates? It doesn't say in the report. It also doesn't say where they received the cell phone data. If they received it from phone companies...when do phone companies collect income data? Maybe when you first sign up? Just curious how accurate these numbers are... — Ellen2 on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca

A touch of the Irish to you! And a Happy 2021! This is located at Monk McGinns at 57 Murray Street. They should probably have a Leprechaun somewhere in this pub for good luck or maybe in the outdoor space? regards, Sonia S. — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca?
Agree. The recent attack of the bicycle hoodlums at 5th Ave and 21 St in broad daylight is only the latest example of the descent of NYC into 1970's style violent chaos. I left in '78, returned in 2003 and left again after the summer's riots. Where's the social justice for Tessa Majors? — Lowrider on Analyzing the economic impact of covid in Tribeca
I just watched this video, and it is in fact 70 Vestry St. I wonder if the name of the dog was a pleasant coincidence. — Pablito on Seen & Heard: Kevin Love loves New Yorkers
I'm commenting on this last comment mainly because I was nearly assaulted today by a mentally I’ll homeless man. I moved to this area 2 years ago from the west coast to pursue and advance my career. I am not privileged by any means. I work very hard and long hours. I use to enjoy walking my dog in this are. I only leave my apartment to walk my dog. In the last 6 months I don’t see anyone except homeless, all definitely described above. I am sure I see more homeless than residents sometimes. They shout and keep to their distance, usually. The last time one came close to me where I was threatened was 2 months ago. My coworkers all have similar stories and involved a knife. My co worker gave me a noise maker (should have been pepper spray) in case nobody is near I can have someway to scare them off or get someones attention. Never thought I would need it in what I always thought was a safe neighborhood. They are around every corner, Beaver, Wall, Whitehall....naked, yelling, throwing up, etc. Today a homeless man was throwing large objects in the street. He started walking towards another homeless person I assumed for a sec they were together then he walked towards me. I was waiting on a light to walk across the street. I said don’t come near me...he said what are you going to do? I ran and a couple saw me, calmed me down all the while with my small dog in tow. I called the police and watched the homeless man walking towards me still throwing large objects, anything he could find to vandalize parked cars and breaking mirrors all up Whitehall by Beaver. I am never walking around anymore alone. It’s really a shame. I saw on Citizens app a few hours later gun shots were heard same area. Just hope people’s safety are being taken into consideration. — NYRES on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

Good luck Andy Jr. I look so forward to seeing you greet us as your fabulous dad did for so many years. He is greatly missed and you are greatly welcomed. Among all his other attributes he had to be a great dad. — Karen on In the News: Tribeca’s Kitchen on Today
