Welcome to the neighborhood! — Tribeca Mom on Cocoon has opened in the Best Market Space

the timing is terrible for this business sadly. Indoor play spaces are not new to the nabe--we used to have "Sydney's Place" or something like that about 10 years ago. Good luck to them! — cami on Cocoon has opened in the Best Market Space

No it was not all de Blasio & you saying it with three exclamation points with an LOL on the end like a baby doesn't make it so. Statistics don't lie. Less murder, rape, robbery, assault etc under de Blasio than under Giuliani or Bloomberg, NYC is the safest It's been since before 1970. Spare me technology cuz if so ok no common widespread internet or cellphones 1990-94 so Dinkins gets a pass. The NYPD cannot take credit for low crime or a drop in it & take no blame for high crime & a rise in it. An increase in crime ultimately is at the feet of the NYPD. They're the ones who patrol the streets not your scapegoat BDB. For example a man was stabbed to death at the JMZ train station at Chambers Street a short walk away from One Police Plaza last month. Had just a beat cop or two been there maybe the murder wouldn't have happened. NYPD doesn't walk the beat but First Precinct likes to station at least two cops at each of their private parking lots two blocks apart. And not have a patrol car stationed on a block which had two shootings a month apart - and what is the status of those shootings? — NYPDo Nothings on It shouldn’t be long now.

West Village: excellent SoHo: not so much both are pricey — William Sumner on Sant Ambroeus at Brookfield opens today

yes! it was all deblasio!!! LOL... look at all crime everywhere in this country and youll see similar drops. technology has been the key, not that bozo who is unloved by any political party. — nyc on It shouldn’t be long now.

And what has de Blasio done to NYC? I know this: There have been far fewer murders, rapes & robberies & zero major terrorist attacks on NYC under de Blasio than under Giuliani & any two Bloomberg terms (first two, last two, first & third.) According to the current NYPD crime stats NYC has had 390 murders this year. Let's say we have 60 more murders for an even 450 murders in 2020. That's 450 murders too many but still 179 less murders than 1998 (end of Giuliani's first term) & a murder shy of 200 less murders than 2001 (end of Giuliani's second term.) 2476 rapes in 98 & 1930 rapes in 01 vs. 1755 rapes in 19 & 1204 this year. 39,003 robberies 98 & 27873 robberies in 01 vs. 13369 in 19 & 10809 in 20. Therefore, deBlasio's NYC is safer than Giuliani's NYC which had over a million less people & a stronger economy under & because of a Democratic president & administration.

Hey let's open a glorified daycare center dozens of people including non-neighborhood residents will be in during a pandemic. Cuz a zip code with one of the lowest COVID 19 infection rates in the city really needs that. Why did they want a liquor license & how were they even allowed to apply for one in the first place with a public school a short walk away in the IPN courtyard & PS 234 well within 500 feet away? Let's also not bring in a supermarket because we, Vornado Realty, owners of IPN, want as many non-market rate IPN tenants as possible to move out & pay more or groceries from Whole Foods & Morgan's Market (& have elderly tenants walk to both.) This is a waste of space. — Sorry on Cocoon has opened in the Best Market Space

If you don't like Trump just look at what DeBlas has done to NYC. — lowrider on It shouldn’t be long now.

My point which you missed entirely is the article is unfair to Odeon. It paints the place as elitist when its not. That could turn off people thus hurt business. Say It's hot or in demand ok but snobbish or snooty? Wrong. Yes a pandemic. Right. During which I have bought 95% of my take out & groceries from neighborhood places, so get off your high horse besides we can - and should talk about things other than the pandemic. — Beloved O on In the News: The Odeon’s curbside social hierarchy

This exchange of persuasive positions exemplifies why New York is a world city. So why is there no free speech for Republicans in our public schools? — Bobbi on We’re back, baby.

The article on The Odeon is BS. I'm a nobody in the eyes of the staff there, and in my three visits since August, I've been seated in front of the restaurant, under the covered seats on the street, and on Thomas Street. It was never about a "hierarchy," it was about whatever tables were available when I arrived. — James on In the News: The Odeon’s curbside social hierarchy

That is so not true. I don’t hate an entire group of people because they voted for another party. That is a ridiculous accusation. — TG on We’re back, baby.

I took it last Wednesday, Nov. 4. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Hi Pam, when was this photo taken? It may have been painted over? thanks, Sonia — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca?

I highly recommend Paisley. Excellent food and very nice people. A great addition to our neighborhood. May they thrive and survive! — JS Miller on New Kid on the Block: Paisley

I do want to point out that its not just the man, his enablers which became the entire Republican party is just as bad. Checks and balances went out the window. That's not how it was supposed to be. So Bobbi you may have a point, although fiber of our being may be over the top, but no one can argue these days that one party believes in democracy and the other just doesn't. Their actions speak for themselves. The Lincoln Party guys who ran the R's campaigns for years and know these people personally would agree with me 100% — Mark on We’re back, baby.

Same here. A table is a table. — Beloved O on In the News: The Odeon’s curbside social hierarchy

This is so stupid. We've been going to Odeon for over 20 years. It is a neighborhood standby, and while we don't know anyone who runs the place, we've never felt anything but courtesy from the folks who run the floor and serve. So silly. — Susan Duffy on In the News: The Odeon’s curbside social hierarchy

First off I am neither a "sucker" nor "privileged." Second there is no "social hierarchy" at Odeon. You sit where you sit & if you don't like your table ask for & get a better one or don't dine there. Maybe if you and/or whoever else didn't see social hierarchy in restaurant seating (like I don't) then it wouldn't be an issue. Doesn't you wanting a certain table imply you think it's better than another table & perpetuate social hierarchy in restaurant seating? Yep. Real social hierarchy was black people having to sit in the back of the bus & in a "Colored People Only" seating area of a luncheonette & use a CPO bathroom, so spare me your equivalence of that to you not getting your preferred seat, rspecially if you're whitem Besides I'm not gonna let you badmouth a place which was open before & during 9/11 & never left & has treated their patrons with courtesy & respect as they/anyone should. — Beloved O on In the News: The Odeon’s curbside social hierarchy

I don't hate Republicans, I hate that they deny a vote on the Senate floor on anything the House passes. They are do-nothing obstructionists. Their mantra is no, no, no with nothing better of their own. You need to get over racist, bigoted, hateful, spiteful, mean, cruel, fearmongering, functionally illiiterate, stupid, corrupt impeached Trump losing 306-232 (what the final tally will be.) You also need to get over your blind dislike or hatred of Democrats. Bottom line the Democrats want 2.2T for a pandemic stimulus while the Republicans countered with a lowball 1.8T so the two parties should meet halfway at 2T. — You lost get over it on We’re back, baby.

It was a great day to be in NYC. It felt like a normal saturday except everyone was so good to each other and so happy. When you lose your job and the whole world cheers? I mean not a surprise And It was not about hate, it was about the relief of the moment and hopefully the next 4 years. We have lived under an embarrassment 4 years. He offended everything that was decent. All of my republican friends - if they didnt switch parties, they at least voted Biden. — Patrick Valentino on We’re back, baby.

I agree, the hatred is of this odious man in particular and of his henchmen. I don’t even think he IS a Republican, at least not in any historical sense. — SW on We’re back, baby.

The assumption that all people wear masks on the subways is not accurate. And frequently the cars are much too crowded for social distancing. This article is misleading and harmful. — Janet on In the News: The Odeon’s curbside social hierarchy

Really, this is what you all are worried about, in this age of COVID, racial inequality, and high unemployment, which table is better. I’m happy that Odeon and other restaurants have found a way for their businesses to survive, and keep their staff employed and provide us with great places to eat. Who really cares where I’m seated. Who cares if they give their regulars the “better”tables. All of Odeon’s patrons are the lucky ones in this economy no matter which table/street they’re eating at. — LauraG on In the News: The Odeon’s curbside social hierarchy

Convenient oversimplification and definitively Not the case. They/we just hate what this particular man (Democrat, Republican, Independent, etc.) has done to this country, our institutions, basic democracy, sense of unity, sense of decency and a hundred other things. — Bill on We’re back, baby.
