Bravo "B" for your comment. Disgusting establishment. — George Bacon on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the corner of Warren and Greenwich smell so bad?

I thought it was the smell from the people who go to Hobby Lobby who support bigotry and racism — B on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the corner of Warren and Greenwich smell so bad?

Walk around Park Pl, Murray, and Warren between Church and Broadway and you smell grilled chicken grease. This has been going on for 10+ years. I thought — Steven on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the corner of Warren and Greenwich smell so bad?

Love our dog, and love that we have access to all that HRP offers. But the notion that we alone should get to decide that the rules do not apply to us is both selfish and entitled. To the extent that we believed it SHOULD be true that dogs are permitted to use the turf areas (which we do not really believe), we have the ability to petition the case such that the rules would apply universally. Simply deciding that a belief justifies your right to a behavior that has been deemed detrimental to the greater good is nothing more than being a holier than though free rider... — CPH on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Act responsibly whether a parent or a dog owner. When you see a sign outside of a supermarket (Whole Foods) that clearly states No Pets, why do you think it is ok to bring your pet into a store that sells food? Every time I am in WF there are at least 4-5 pets roaming the store as their owner grocery shops. This is not responsibility, it is entitlement. — S on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

"People don’t want to exercise at the risk of being chased, or in my case, run into, full speed, by a dog while I was sprinting." This sounds like a problem unique to a particular type of sprinter, one who should probably give it up. Seriously, if you can't manage the risk of sprinting which, yes, includes maybe having to navigate a dog or kid in your vicinity, stop doing it. You're not cut out for it. You can blame that on a dog owner or recognize that it's entirely your own problem. Red pill. Blue pill. The choice is yours. — Talg on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

All of this framing of dog owners as entitled is rich. What you're really arguing for is a version of public space where only your preferences count and dressing it up as rule-following and civility. Entitlement, hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty all rolled into one. People who don't pick up dog waste or who have a breed of dog that understandably incites fear running around off leash can be executed for all I care. But giving a shit about dogs standing in line with you at a coffee shop or stretching their legs in public spaces and falling back on rules as justification for your outrage is pathetic. Oh, dios mios, the rules! The rules! Get a life. I'll take dogs over kids screaming, crying, coughing, sneezing, leaving food everywhere, running into people on all manner of contraptions, stepping on my brand new kicks — and definitely over any idiot adult who looks past all of this to complain about the entitlement of dog owners. Give me a break. — Talg on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Magnificent! — JT on Building for Church & Lispenard has a new look

Also children dont go to the bathroom outside on lawns and sidewalks — susan on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

I know this comment is supposed to be provocative but it’s actually just embarrassing — Jay on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

And whatever happened to “Curb your dog”? — SusanD on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

While i respect that each person should have rights (dog owners and non-dog owners) to live freely, my issue is that bad dog owners actions hurt the quality of life for non-dog owners. by unleashed running, allowing them to bark non-stop or run in front of others, and of course, the dreaded dog waste that litters the city. Can't something be done to stop this ? please — john on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

The ruling only said dogs can be considered family if leashed and their injury causes emotional distress to the person walking the dog. The ruling does not permit the behavior you propose. — Glenn on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

How is grease getting there? Is it being illegally dumped? — A2 on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the corner of Warren and Greenwich smell so bad?

Sadly, this is a real problem. To the owners who say "but no one is using the turf now" I would ask them why they think that is. Dogs are wonderful, but caregivers are not going to bring small children to play in a dog park. People don't want to exercise at the risk of being chased, or in my case, run into, full speed, by a dog while I was sprinting. At one point I started suggesting that there is a dog park within sight – but that only elicits dirty looks. The entitlement is embarrassing. Tribeca has abundant outdoor spaces, dog parks, and the entire west side highway path. Please leave this precious patch for it's purpose - for sport. — Duane Street on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

As of June 2025, a landmark Brooklyn court ruling officially recognized dogs as "immediate family" members, not just property, for legal purposes in New York. So if your children can run around the grass so can my dog . And if you want a private backyard, go buy a house. — Marisha on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

I have never seen enforcement of dog related issues any where in HRP, or for that matter BPC. The blatant disregard for rules that make a city livable has trickled into every aspect of daily life. Bikes on sidewalks, pot in parks, dogs everywhere -- it's no longer "scofflaws" but an entire generation filled with entitlement. Until someone has the guts to call it out, and the will to enforce the rules, nothing will change. — Downtown Dad Reborn on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

So many off-leash dogs, dogs on the lawns/turf, and even dogs in the kids playgrounds at HRP. HRP really needs to step up enforcement and start fining people. It’s bad now and will only get worse if they don’t do anything. Enforce the rules. Same goes for coffee shops and restaurants who let people in with their dogs. It’s gross. — Person on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

Same as you see over at South Street Seaport next to the ships. Signs that say "Dogs must be leashed" yet there is often a large group of people letting their dogs run loose like it's their private dog park get together. Usually about 15-20 dogs of all sizes at a time. Annoying. — Dellin Betansaze on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

These are probably the same pet owners that use Whole Foods for their dog walks. Or let their dogs into tree wells that are fenced off. The entitlement is despicable. — Elizabeth on Nosy Neighbor: Are dogs allowed on the turf at Pier 25?

That's what this looks like indeed. Either horrible incompetence or actual intentional corruption. — Marcus on Participatory Budgeting voting is open now

Corner of Chambers and Reade??? Huh??? — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the corner of Warren and Greenwich smell so bad?

You've already forgotten the $600 hammer from decades ago? The high cost includes all the kickbacks and graft needed to get the contract. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Participatory Budgeting voting is open now

It's not only that it is a very busy pedestrian thoroughfare including to the subway entrance across the driveway, the NYPD entrance gate backs up with cars and people when there's large numbers of approved visitors to City Hall plus the entrance attracts protestors held back by NYPD barricades. Sympathy for the delivery workers, accolades for the Mayor's efficiency, and the unattractive, deficient design aside, adding any additional congestion by speedy messengers at that historically-crowded sidewalk is daft! — Skip Blumberg on Deliverista Hub at City Hall will open soon

Add to this the northeast corner of Chambers and Reade Streets. Very often, noxious vapors come from a large grate in the roadway. This is not a new issue. While the odor may not be as foul as the one on Greenwich, it's no fun getting a face full of this mist. — Gary on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the corner of Warren and Greenwich smell so bad?
