I feel terrible for Tokyo Bay and the Hideaway. The city has no right to block their outdoor space. Other places in the city have fought and won over the City Bikes in front of their space. These two places should not give up. If they can sue they should. It isn't right that they can not make money because of City Bikes. — Tribeca Original on Nosy Neighbor: When will the Citi Bike stations be re-installed?
Peter and Andy may they RIP. Both wonderful people. Hopefully both Gee Whiz and Tribeca Kitchen survive this horrible time. — Tribeca Original on Gee Whiz opened yesterday!
Sounds good and bet they taste delicious!......would be a big hit out here in the Hamptons where people love to try and purchase new things -- make up a batch and put them in dry ice and bring them out East and they'll sell like....well, like "hotcakes" at the Farmers Markets out here in East Hampton, The Springs or Sag Harbor. — Richard Kurtz on Made in Tribeca: Island Ice NYC
I layer it twice, but either way, I am sure you are right and that they are not medically approved. But it definitely keeps me from spitting on a waiter as much as any handsewn mask made of cotton or one picked up at Target. And it makes me more likely to cover up at least somewhat. It is very hard to get your mask back on your face before a server approaches the table. I've found that often waiters will just shrug and come over anyway while you fumble around. — Tribeca Citizen on Frenchette opens tonight and is already booked
Latest studies report that neck gators provide no more protection than no mask at all. Just sayin'.... — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Frenchette opens tonight and is already booked
Thank you for that! I thought I was going nuts... — Tribeca Citizen on Nosy Neighbor: When will the Citi Bike stations be re-installed?
Google Streetview from October 2014 shows it in that location. Link here. — person on Nosy Neighbor: When will the Citi Bike stations be re-installed?
My 3 block walk to the 4,5,6 train is now a 10 block walk to get to and from the train to get to work. The continued closing of Chambers seems totally unnecessary. The police at the barricades are really rude and they don't wear masks. At first they were cleaning post-encampment. From what I can see, it's clean now. Its time to open up Chambers Street, City Hall Park and the subway entrance. — JG on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
There most certainly was a Citibike on Warren but it was on the West side of Church in the area between the Philip William Posters shoppe and the old Tribeca Pediatrics location. It was taken down when Warren St was torn up for the water main infrastructure several years ago. It wasn’t replaced obviously. But it was there, despite the bureaucratic amnesia — BobR on Nosy Neighbor: When will the Citi Bike stations be re-installed?
Yes deflect instead of addressing the issue of maskless cops ???? I’m sure since you can’t defend police brutality, you deflect with this beauty of a statement as well ???? — Jan on Why aren’t officers wearing masks?
Ha! I’m going to start doing that. I had 5 walking abreast in front of me taking up the whole sidewalk. All maskless and talking. I just walked in the street to avoid walking theu them and their spit. You shouldn’t have to avoid cops but they do seem germy unfortunately — Kim on Why aren’t officers wearing masks?
I have to ask myself whether I'm living on the same planet much less the same neighborhood after reading some of these comments. After just weeks is the preference to return to 2:00 a.m. helicopters, blaring horns, "kill pigs" graffiti, looting and blatant lawlessness in exchange for regaining a few parking spots and quicker walk to the 6 train? How can police officers acting as a deterrent not make sense during what is clearly still a fluid situation. Has anyone been to the upper west side lately? Did anyone see Chicago last night? I'll take officers "standing around" any day. — Bizarro World on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
The Warren St Citibike station was called "Warren St & Church St" but was between Church St and West Broadway. You can just make it out in this Google Maps Streetview from 2016... https://goo.gl/maps/YxQCYfxxQYTLoqdo8 Bring them all back! — Matt on Nosy Neighbor: When will the Citi Bike stations be re-installed?
Friends of City Hall Park agrees that it's wonderful the security is loosening. We look forward to a return to normal access to our neighborhood park and all New Yorkers city commons as soon as sections are safe. Further, how about making the Northeast Plaza of City Hall Park into an Open Streets recreation area? Please email CityHallParkNYC@earthlink.net to join our campaign for better parks in lower Manhattan. — Skip Blumberg on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
Yum! Can't wait to try! — Heather on Made in Tribeca: Island Ice NYC
I am very happy to see police finally protecting that area. No more vandals, looters and homelessness around City Hall. We need all the help we can get right now. The city is in turmoil. People are afraid to live here and are moving out. Pray for our city. Crime is through the roof! — Tribeca Original on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
Too bad. Another overpriced gyp joint for people with too much money closed. Don't worry, there will be Civil War soon, the dollar will collapse and the drugged up hordes will come and loot the place of anything not screwed down.l — Mr. Putzenheimer on Augustine will close permanently due to the pandemic
As everyone has said, i will miss Dr.,Quraishi. I loved his beautiful smile and his handshake It will truly be hard to find a new doctor. — Shoshana Ende on Dr. Nisar Quraishi dies from the coronavirus at 74
I'm rather grateful that we have police in our precinct who see after our residents, buildings and sidewalks. Yes, I've also seen the cigar smoking cops standing around. No, that's not a great look. However, if current police duties are to oversee tunnel & bridge entry/exits (i.e Holland Tunnel & B'lyn Bridge) while at worst leaving verbal skirmishes on the sidewalks, I'm happy the police are present and not having to engage vandals, looters, or any gun battles in the 1st Precinct. Yes. The homeless issue needs to be addressed, too. But is that a police issue anymore? — MattieNYC on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
I walk around City Hall every morning with my dog... Do the loop and you probably see 100 officers (area included the courts).. no ONE, and i mean not ONE are wearing a mask. Many have them hanging off their badge. I actually thought it was an organized protest. This isn't a knock on the police, but just like everyone else wear the DAMN mask. We want this cr-p to be over. If it were a bar they would be on social media and Cuomo would be b-tching them out. — Max on Why aren’t officers wearing masks?
I simply don't understand it.. we are dealing with enough down here open the park.. We have 100 or so officers standing around doing, i'm not sure what with insanity going on one block away. The homeless situation is OUT of control. — Max on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
I live on Chambers St. and was thrilled to have the NYPD and the street closed as opposed to sleepless nights due to the squatters down the block blasting noise and defacing the buildings. This morning vehicular traffic was opened, let's see what happens next. — Sam Jones on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
The 2 River Terrace location has a For Rent sign up, and the LPQ belongings from inside have been removed. — Anonymous on Le Pain Quotidien is back open, defying rumors
This occupation by the Police is an abuse of power. Totally unjustified after all this time. They act as if they own our city and they would like us to love them! — Pierre Delerive on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
There are a hundred or more most days in the area around 1PP not wearing masks. I have to walk in the street to avoid them. It’s absurd that they care so little for the safety of the city. And it’s absurd that people are making excuses for them. — SB on Why aren’t officers wearing masks?
