esplanade — Buttons on Where in Tribeca?

Call this severe I don't care: Parks/open spaces need "social distancing" police to keep people from being within six feet of each other and that includes people together. That's right...when you go out with your sweetheart you'll walk six feet away from them. You want to be within six feet, go home and be that there. I'm not kidding. Three or more people together should be fined $60 each ($10 per foot within six feet x 6 feet) - I'm not kidding about that either cuz only selfish, careless ignoramuses walk together three or more. So yeah, $180 if you and two pals decide to hang out on a park bench. Also ANYONE who coughs without covering their mouth or making an attempt to cover it should be fined $60, too. The officer should have Lysol to immediately spray that area after fining. Lastly anyone who lets their children play in playgrounds should have their head examined and fined $60 too (a fine per child.) — drastic times on If you are desperate for fresh air…

I walked from pier 40 to Chambers St. last Monday. The esplanade was packed making social distancing impossible. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on If you are desperate for fresh air…

Guess your Googler needs to be updated. Get to steppin'!!! https://donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/geo — Jim Smithers on COVID-19: How to help here and around the city

That, sir, is phenomenally rude. i certainly am well aware of how to use google/path train, I wanted (and would still like) to donate in our neighborhood/downtown area and avoid public transport as mandated by the Governor and everyone else. — celeste on COVID-19: How to help here and around the city

They seem to be limiting how many people can be in the store at once. There was a line outside today with people spaced 6' apart. — DeeDee on COVID-19 Update: New hours for Whole Foods

I meant service dogs. — JC on COVID-19 Update: New hours for Whole Foods

Dogs were never permitted in the store, the security just got lax and people don't care about rules. Also, many claim to have security dogs and security can do nothing about it. Shelves are still pretty bare, but they are stocking better on a daily basis and you can go in without being in a total state of panic. At least, yesterday it seemed that way. — JC on COVID-19 Update: New hours for Whole Foods

Based on what I have been hearing/reading about best practices we should not be encouraging interactions with playground equipment. There is a reason the playgrounds are empty. — Cobaye on If you are desperate for fresh air…

Today Governor Cuomo said that "vulnerable populations can go outside for solitary exercise.” Perhaps our parks, like some of our food stores, could have hours just for this group. — MC on If you are desperate for fresh air…

The Roof Deck at City Winery — Jim Smithers on If you are desperate for fresh air…

I haven't been there in a while … are the shelves still bare? — KP on COVID-19 Update: New hours for Whole Foods

Eataly Downtown remains open despite closure of the mall. They have closed all the restaurants and you cannot eat at the store. But the grocery store and some of the prepared food counters are open.

Was driving past a school in Queens this afternoon. Line was down the block for free lunch. Guess it depends on the neighborhood. — Sadia on Free breakfast and lunch available at local schools for students

I have to admit that I was one of the patrons of the City of the Wineries that fateful day. But I make no apologies. Their Happy Hour special of Typhoid Bloody Marys were soooo worth the possible exposure! To clarify, the 1st precinct and City Winery are the sole source of the COVID-19 spread? And anyone shopping at WF or Target is totally exempt and immune to causing any spread? Good to know. #BeBest. — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: What the crowd *really* looked like at City Vineyard

I ran past City Vineyard as the sun was setting and, whatever might have been happening on the roof deck, fine (although that pic still shows people inches apart)- what I saw was on the ground level: All four tops crowded with 6+ people, standing room only, music blaring. City Vineyard made it uber-inviting to be out and about, socializing like crazy, and staying a long while. — Nichole on Seen & Heard: What the crowd *really* looked like at City Vineyard

This is so sad. I had taken my then senior dog to Water4Dogs and walked by there weekly - I always thought I would use them if I got another dog. Sad to see them go — Patrick C Valentino on The Wagging Tail will close for good after 23 years in Tribeca

I could not agree more. I finally took my puppy out for a walk after being cooped up for days and I did not feel comfortable or safe walking along the Hudson. — tribma on Seen & Heard: What the crowd *really* looked like at City Vineyard
