That info about the Seaport is just not correct... Cobble&co. is closed till..... so is the big gay icecream. Just went past 30 mints ago. Same with the Tuckroom and the same with Pier A..... crickets — Darcy on The latest openings around the neighborhood

I see the expansion of outdoor seating as a positive (at least in areas where it won't create too much noise and disturbance for residents who live above a given street). And of course the restaurant or café owners, and patrons, are expected to be good citizens and keep the areas clean. There will of course be some noise, but I'd prefer that to the noise of car horns, car alarms, and blasting car stereos at all hours. I love the common and large pedestrian areas, streets, plazas and piazzas of Europe, the social café culture. There are many car-free areas in the great cities. Perhaps we can create a New York version of that over time. There has of course been some progress in that direction with the creation of all those seating areas on Broadway in Times Square area, etc. Some may say "that's not NYC", but as I see it, NYC has always been about evolving and changing and re-defining itself. Congested car culture does not have to be a defining feature of city life. (Of course, more parks would also be appreciated...like the one proposed for the Holland Tunnel rotary. Maybe that's an expensive dream, but it sure would be nice to have more green space in the area). On-street parking will have to be reduced to accommodate this, and also to allow re-widening of many city sidewalks, and more bike lanes. This would create more incentives for people to walk instead of drive, and now in our "viral" times, also would allow keeping safer distances from other pedestrians. All these policies should be thought through and decided ASAP, as we are facing a possible worse congestion problem than ever, as the city re-opens and more people than ever may choose to drive to avoid infection risks, and fear of crime on the subways, etc. How can we make sure public transit (and walking, biking etc.) is the preferred and yet still safe (in terms of both viruses and crime) way to get around? — Marcus on Seen & Heard: The Roxy now has an outdoor plaza

"Outrageous"? Get real. The sidewalks are bereft of pedestrians, tourists, etc. Who is being obstructed? Giant hunks of stationary metal parked at almost no cost and no revenue to the City? I am sure the "community board" types are beside themselves watching (1) sidewalk cafes get approved pro forma without their consent, regardless of city zoning or unofficial CB precedent in giving their imprimatur and (2) outdoor liquor sales and delivery being allowed in almost every situation by SLA except where the failure to socially distance is egregious, e.g. White Horse Tavern. Maybe the silver lining of the pandemic is the demonstration that a lot of the City administration and attendant red tape in normal times is NIMBY nonsense that kills private investment and jobs. This is the difference between "decriminalize" and "legalize." The former allows people to go about their business. The latter involves new regulations, permits, agencies, bureaucrats, forms, etc. that burden citizens but grow the leviathan state. — James on Seen & Heard: The Roxy now has an outdoor plaza

We, as New Yorkers, can’t do much about COVID (other than the obvious), but we can elect a better mayor. That would be a start. — David James on Petco Unleashed on Chambers is closing for good

That is surprising about Shake Shack. I don't go there much, but I'm glad it's there. More upsetting is the shutting down of Tribeca Hardware, a unique family run store. It really saddens me. — Jane Goldberg on In the News: Bleak picture for Shake Shack

If you have a tiny restaurant then you have the tiny space outside to make your outside dining. Using the public street to have restaurants have waiters running back and forth with orders is outrageous. Who is monitoring the "outside dining spaces"? Many are overextending their boundaries. — Kathy on Seen & Heard: The Roxy now has an outdoor plaza

Also doubtless the end of Leo's barbarshop unless he can find a new location somewhere in the neighborhood, though that seems more and more unlikely. — George Bacon on In the News: Bleak picture for Shake Shack

It’s true, Nyc sucks now. — We’re all f’d for 10 years on Petco Unleashed on Chambers is closing for good

There are many factors at work here that caused the store to close. But a huge factor is the fact that people, including people who are pet owners, are leaving the city in droves. I personally know a dog walker in TriBeCa who has lost all of their customers permanently (Ie they are not just gone for the summer). They are leaving because of COVID, rapidly increasing crime and the expectation of a forthcoming increase in city taxes (and fewer services). And, sadly, these factors are going to hit more than just pet stores. — David James on Petco Unleashed on Chambers is closing for good

Sad to lose another local mom and pop. Hubs just shopped there earlier, 25% off everything. — TribecaMom on A literal look back at 9/11 and Tribeca Hardware

That wasn't the reason - the bikes weren't located at the apex of the park because there is a fire hydrant located there, the community generally felt it was better to preserve the open space and there were several other/better locations available. A list of suggested sites was given to the DOT after consulting with neighbors and businesses on the block and the "Cornerstone" corner was the site chosen as the least disruptive though ideally, they would have put it on the Greenwich Street side. — kpdnyc on Duane Street restaurants petitioning to get Citi Bike dock removed

I was scheduled to get my haircut by Lorraine before the pandemic shut everything down. My curly haired (always beautifully coiffed) friend has been going to her for years plus a handful of other friends that were converted devotees after their first cut by her. Eddie, colorist, I can attest to. I loved the color he naturally swirled through my hair. Six months later, it still looks great. — Patty F on New Kid on the Block: Lorraine Massey and Spiral (x,y,z)

I am a restaurant owner on East 2nd street between Ave A & B, and have the same exact problem. I am the only restaurant on the block that has Citi Bike in front and does not have use of the street nor the sidewalk since we can only use the space in front of our storefront. I have contacted the city several times and they said they would not remove city furniture at this time. I dont think this helps with trying to keep small business and restaurants above during this time, that was their goal with the "open streets". Please send me some information on what you are doing to get this job done if you dont mind. I have exhausted all my options. Citi Bike can easily be moved to the opposite side of the street on 2nd.
