I could not respond to your latest post directly, unfortunately. But something tells me this exercise is futile. Your first line complains about ageism, and the rest of your post is an exercise in it. Millennials are a huge group of diverse people with diverse thoughts and beliefs. (Like every generation.) You mention super spreader events, but make no mention of Sturgis, White House nomination events, and other large gatherings of older people who don't take this seriously. Again, I am not blaming older people! Because I don't engage in reductive, simplistic thinking. I'm barely a Millennial, but I interact with many, and I am very comfortable with how I and those close to me have behaved in this pandemic. You'll notice I made no ad hominem attacks around a large swath of people based solely on their age. Judge the revelers at Blood Manor or 46L all you want ... I'll be right there with you! Just do it for the right reasons. Anyway, Millennials will hopefully be the generation responsible for evacuating Trump from office. Perhaps props are due then. — malcolm on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
Who says ok boomer and constantly practices ageism? Millenials. Who is the one generation of people reputable media outlets consustently report are out maskless and holding superspreader events? Millenials. Who are the biggest whiners about the pandemic? Millenials. Maybe wear a mask, social dustance, and deal with not going to a bar it restaurant for awhile. Maybe stop thinking the world doesn't revolve around you, you're not the only future, and acting like it with your illegal parties at 46 Lisperbard and big maskless crowds in and outside if Blood Manor. Let me know when 40+ people & people under 20 father in large numbers maskless. I'll wait...forever. Spare me your bitching about how millenials get flack. They want the props but not the criticism. — Another Thing on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
The SLA sees the records from NYPD - NYPD will enforce the laws if they are breaking any...call the NCO or the Precinct, file a complaint and/or go to the Precinct Community meeting on 10/29 and say something...If you do not file a complaint and are willing to have your name associated with the complaint but prefer ranting on the internet then nothing changes. — TK on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
This lumping of people together to make sweeping generalizations about their likes, desires, character, etc., based on arbitrary birth dates is so tiresome. No generation is better or worse than another. Judge people specifically on their own merits and leave the lazy thinking behind. — malcolm on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
I speak truth based on science - deal with it. — NYPDo Nothings on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
All these domes and tents may seat one party at a time, but not one party per day. Seems like all this weatherproofing would result in virus trapping... — Lulu on Seen & Heard, Outdoor Dining Edition: Taking the bubble literally
Keep in mind the domes and tents are for one party. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard, Outdoor Dining Edition: Taking the bubble literally
Millenials are 20-40 years old (born 1980-2000) thus the people who go to Blood Manor and walk around maskless - thanks! — Another Thing on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
uh huh... sureeeeee — nyc on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
And if they enclose all four sides, they are required to follow indoor dining guidelines (i.e., currently 25% capacity). The hope is to raise indoor capacity to 50% early next month, which would also then apply to outdoor tents that are fully enclosed. — malcolm on Seen & Heard, Outdoor Dining Edition: Taking the bubble literally
They’re required to be 50% open. Many of the things gs that are going up fail to meet that standard. — A. on Seen & Heard, Outdoor Dining Edition: Taking the bubble literally
How much covering can be added before it becomes as closed in as the inside? — GC on Seen & Heard, Outdoor Dining Edition: Taking the bubble literally
You are a liar, a shill, or an employee. That photo and what people witnessed in real time was blatant violation of COVID 19 rules. No face masks or social distancing. Blocking the sidewalk alone is illegal. Fire hazard too because how do patrons inside flee a potential fire with a crush of people on the sidewalk? Possible overcapacity issue too. Btw people esp. younger people can be asymptomatic thus a temperature check isn't entirely indicative of who has it or not. — NYPDo Nothings on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
“B” unfortunately this is a politics issue imo. The recent new norm of inaction is directly tied to the politics of the day. While bad cops of course need to be dealt with, when the public and local leaders bash all police, threaten them and egg them on to get a damning video, it creates the current hands off environment. — Nyc on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
Mask were mandatory I went inside and it was complete social distancing and mask worn! — Jus on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
I have been to this establishment twice already this season because of how Covid compliant they are. Before trying to shut down a business that is being run properly maybe you should all fact check like I did by speaking with the owner to find out what precautions they are taking before I decided to purchase my tickets. Yes, the lines are long, but what you cannot see in the pic is that there are barricades between your group of people and everyone else’s for social distancing which is why the line extends up a couple of blocks. The staff comes up and down the aisle outside to make sure everyone is masked. Everyone gets temperature checked before they walk in. There is a new air filtration system inside along with hand sanitizing stations and the staff is triple masked. As far as a crowd being outside till 1am, it’s a bit of an exaggeration, I was the last group to go through on Saturday night and we were out at midnight, we waited to thank the staff, we were the only ones on the street. I’m just not for people hating on or creating problems and uproars not based on reality, enough already! This business is open and complying and obviously wanted by the public. — FR on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
If you go to the Blood Manor site you’ll see a calendar of events for which Eventbrite is selling tickets. Include that information when sending complaints, so they know this in intentional. And complain to EventBrite too, as someone above in this thread did. — A. on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
Let’s not make this specifically about the police or politics. Reality is I live across the street, I see these lines and masses of people out there every night, often drunk and screaming until past 1am, with never any social distancing, and I’ve never once seen anyone writing tickets or giving fines. More than anything, this is about common sense. Even if there were supposed to be distancing rules in place to make this establishment safe during a pandemic, they are clearly not being followed or enforced. Additionally, if people want to go there at their own risk and the city has determined that is something they are now OK with allowing people to decide, then other businesses that are hurting such as bars and exercise studios, should be allowed to reopen as well. Can you imagine being a business owner who has been closed since March, who actually has invested in various ways to try to make their establishments safe and seeing this allowed and you’ve been told you can’t reopen? Also, just generally, its pretty insane that this establishment was ever given a business license in the first place, and allowed to keep it in a pandemic, but it seems east of Broadway there are no rules. I have reported this to 311 and will try the other outlets posted as well. Hopefully others will do the same — B on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
Millennials?? Millennials are the ones working from home with kids. The youngest millennial in their 20s and the oldest is nearly 40. I think you are talking about Gen Z or Zoomers. We have to stop making everything the "millennials" fault. — Anna on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
I know exactly how things work, I live here. But nice straw man. I didn't say that citizens can't criticize the police or other elected officials. Notice how I didn't call for NYPDo to be arrested for saying those things? Maybe you should learn how the first amendment works, it requires state action. But to say your words don't have consequences is hilarious. The mask ordinances really call for fines to levied, how do you know these people or Blood Manor weren't fined? You don't. What you want is for the NYPD to take further action (shut it down, arrest people...I presuem), beyond what they are required to do. Again, why, with the rhetoric that is being spewed would they do anything but the bare minimum required? So you can videotape them, take it out of context and them blame them as racists? Again, you have every right to continue to overheated rhetoric and to demand that they be defunded, just don't be surprised when they do the bare minimum. As NY'ers flee, maybe you'll learn to stop voting for one party rule and democratic policies once the tax base has gone too. — CK on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
Hey CK....not sure how you know how things work in the United States of America, but as citizens we are allowed to call cops (and others who work for the state) racist pigs, nice guys, idiots, geniuses, heroes, etc, in other words WHATEVER WE WANT and they STILL have to do the job that we are paying them for. If they don't want to do the job that they are paid for, they should not be working as cops. They do not get to strike against the public safety. — Chris H on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
Thanks Paul! definitely interested - do you have an email we chat through? Mine is arik@newamsterdamfc.com — Arik Rosenstein on Soccer Made in Tribeca: New Amsterdam FC
Hey NYPDo Nothings... Maybe the NYPD is hesitant to enforce the laws because people like you smear them and call them racist pigs? Look around - local leaders and democrat politicians have vilified them for doing their job. Go look at the riots, yes riots...not "peaceful protests." You tell me why they should go above and beyond? Why, so jerks like you can scream to defund them? So you can call for their murder? So you can equate them to slave catchers? You and your ilk voted for this crap, now enjoy the benefits of your hysteria. What...did you think your rhetoric would come without consequences? — CK on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
Super helpful. Thank you. — j on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
