This article is about the looting. and destruction. You are entitled to your opinion. I see what my city was before and now and the blame is on our mayor and governor who turned his back on our city and our businesses. At least I voiced my opinion which many are so " afraid" of doing. Our city is a mess. Not every business has the money to rebuild. — New York on Battening down hatches, and preparing for a storm

One side looted physically & destroyed property; the other side looted *billions* in PPP loans & then laid people off anyway. Not to mention stock dumps by Loeffler, et al, in Feb ahead of the pandemic they saw coming & decided to duck. Broken windows suck, but can be fixed. The billions are gone -- *our money* -- and the dumps will never be prosecuted. — jfrankp on Battening down hatches, and preparing for a storm

this is a great article but must disagree about one point you made. It is not either side that destroyed and looted. I am a democrat and must disagree this point. I blame our corrupt Mayor. — New York on Battening down hatches, and preparing for a storm

So sad to lose this place. Hope these guys open something up in this neighborhood in the future! — K on Last call at Ward III

Sorry! Was behind on this one. And sorry, not correct. Updating post now... — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Thank you for showcasing this American Legend. You can tell Ms. Morrison was a person who knew herself as the apartment feels so warm, stylish, elegant and personal without that decorator’s “look” (even if one was hired, she obscured it so well). — David E on Toni Morrison’s Tribeca pied-à-terre is for sale

Thanks! It really was a thrill. — Tribeca Citizen on Toni Morrison’s Tribeca pied-à-terre is for sale

The problem with the broken glass and trash may not be the bar's fault. There has been a insurgency of vagrants and transients in the neighborhood that no one seems to be doing anything about. These people have the run of the area after businesses close up. They may be the cause for trash being ripped open and thrown about.I've been accosted by a few over the last few weeks. Sad to see Ward III go. — H&H on Last call at Ward III

Oh wow. This is a gem and a half to read and see this morning. Thank you for this special piece. — j. on Toni Morrison’s Tribeca pied-à-terre is for sale

Nice attempt to create a racially motivated killing when it does not exist. The victim in the Queen’s deli shooting (Tarwala) was an Indian national staying in the US on a student visa. Despite his Jewish name, Steve Cohen is actually a Jehova’s Witness. His church/kingdom pastor has been out speaking to his mental incapacity. But, hey, why let facts get in the way of your allegations? The motive in the Min Ai murder/suicide seems to be a jealous estranged husband. Very tragic. — Whitney on Battery Park City resident shot by husband on Greenwich Street

Hallo, I certainly can sympathize with your retirement and wish you all the best. It was good to know you were coming to the market in Park Slope and I will miss you!! Whenever I bought from you I was sure it was good fresh fish!!!!! I will miss you and your fish. But I still owe you $ 4.00. I bought a lot of fish today to freeze it for the winter but I was short $ 4 at the end. I was unable to come back in time to give you the money. Please let me know where I can sen it to you! All the very best to you!!!!!!! Irmgard Borner — Irmgard Borner on Alex Villani of Blue Moon Fish is retiring

This is extremely sad news. If she had any children that she took with her away from her estranged husband even more the tragic. — j. on Battery Park City resident shot by husband on Greenwich Street

13 polling places south of Canal for Election Day ora measly two two early voting places for nine days are unacceptable. We need a no-excuse ballot with prepaid postage return envelope, voter information card-keychain tag & I Voted sticker mailed to EVERY registered New York voter, a 24-7 access dropbox in EVERY precinct & early voting from Sunday September 1 through Sunday November 3, 2024 (the next presidential election.) We also need automatic voter registration at age 16, the voting age lowered to 17 (if you can vote in the general election on or after your 18th birthday you should be allowed to vote in the primary at 17) & a semi-open primary (independents should be allowed to vote too.) — Election Reform Now on Early voting now requiring less of a time commitment

Wait - where is the outrage over this murder on here? I thought only homeless shelter residents did this or so all of you mostly white people on here always crow. You run your NIMBY mouths about the men who live at the Radisson Hotel and yet none of them murdered this woman. But you keep scapegoating them if it makes you feel better. Oh wait it was a dude from Canada (possibly originally from China or somewhere else from Asia originally from his name) who probably wasn't homeless so you're all silent. Like you are about the homeless white Jew named Steve Cohen who killed a Muslim grocery store clerk in Queens a few days ago so a possible hate crime (reported by AMNY.) If it was a black or Latino man especially a homeless one you'd all be up in arms over this. My heartfelt condolences to the families of Min Ai & the grocery clerk Mohmediyan Tarwala. May their respective murderers Xin Yu & Steve Cohen spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison. Let them live with what they did and no freedom or escape. — NIMBY Pimby on Battery Park City resident shot by husband on Greenwich Street

19 1/2 Leonard Street. They put on this great display every hear! Happy Halloween, regards, Sonia S. — SONIA STOCK on Where in Tribeca: Halloween Edition

Ward III closing is sad, any business closing these days is sad, for sure. But, as a resident of Reade Street, I have to say that they've been a an absolutely terrible neighbor through the Covid reopening. Almost every morning after they've been open, I find broken glass, food, trash all over the street. Actually just this morning there were piles of mussel shells all down the street as well as broken glass. Over the summer, we would have to cross the street to the other side because of all the broken glass and my kids being in sandals. I'm sorry they are closing. I'm sorry to lose another neighborhood staple, but they haven't been the best neighbor through all this. — Reade st resident on Last call at Ward III

Yesterday at 10:30AM (polls opened at 10AM) the line was intimidating! It snaked all the way to Macdougal. I never stood still in line though, because it kept moving! 20-25 minutes later I departed the building with my super cool sticker. My spouse went today around 9am and reported a similar experience. PRO TIPS: I second what Lisa said above, bring your voting card to make it a little more efficient - they will scan it instead of looking you up in the system. There are tons of poll workers there to keep things moving (it was a lot better organized than the PS234 site ever is) and if you need help or cannot stand in line for a health-related reason, one of them will direct you to the elevator and to expedite your entry. — Jolene on Early voting now requiring less of a time commitment

Left NBPC at 12:55pm in an uber, voted, and was back in NBPC at 1:30pm today. Line moved very quickly. — SG on Early voting now requiring less of a time commitment

Went to St Anthony’s today at 9:15 am...stepped out of the Uber and walked right inside – no line whatsoever. My wife and I were in & out of the building within 10 minutes. Recommend anyone who’s considering it to vote today while the weather is miserable and the lines are nonexistent. — Steven on Early voting now requiring less of a time commitment

Thanks for reminding us about the keyfob barcode — Richard on Early voting now requiring less of a time commitment

The line this morning was long but moved (which was nice given the weather conditions!). I arrived at 6:50, polls opened at 7 and I was out by 7:35. If you bring your fast pass bar code, it expedites the time inside. — Lisa on Early voting now requiring less of a time commitment

My son and I voted yesterday (Thursday) at 1:30 pm and there was no line. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes. — Laura on Early voting now requiring less of a time commitment
