With schools and gyms closed, the Hudson River Park is crowded with adults and children and with runners moving through them at breakneck speed. Their sweat and spit and heavy breath is flying over everyone. Before the city is forced to close parks to enforce social distancing, runners and bikers could move to the empty streets to exercise in a responsible, socially distancing way. — MC on Seen & Heard: What the crowd *really* looked like at City Vineyard

Thank you! Is anyone doing corned beef and cabbage? ☘️ — KCM on Still Cooking: Local restaurants are providing takeout and delivery

Thanks for posting! Just donated to the food bank. Agree with the sentiments above, any other ideas to help businesses or high risk people in the neighborhood would be great — BGE on COVID-19: How to help here and around the city

Pam, thanks for running this. Remington - perfect remarks. Fully agree. Support our neighborhood restaurants as they have supported us these so many years. — Demetri on COVID-19: How to help here and around the city

I don’t understand why they can’t just build a second One WTC... it would look better and give people closure that are upset about the hole in the skyline. It is the best solution to the current situation. — Austin on In the News: Revamped design for Two World Trade

ART in mask painting is at least positive. — Robert Janz on Seen & Heard: Love in the time of COVID-19

Thanks for this. For those of us looking support our local restaurants and other businesses that have opted to stay open and/or deliver is there a way to compile a list so we can make sure to keep patronizing them, especially those that have helped support Tribeca through other difficult times - our 9/11, blackout and Sandy friends - we needed them and they need us! — Remington on COVID-19: How to help here and around the city

Much thanks! World is shutting down. — Robert Janz on Seen & Heard: Love in the time of COVID-19

Uh oh. Lots of spray paint on the cobblestones on Greenwich between Vestry and Laight. More digging? — Rob P on Laight and Greenwich: Paving the streets with granite

We closed down Sunday ahead of being forced to. Saturday, we took measures for crowd control, distancing, etc. Now we are closed, our staff have no income, we are paying their health coverage til May, we have no income and are in a war-time mentality for survival. Would appreciate the understanding. — MIchael Dorf on Seen & Heard: Love in the time of COVID-19

Serious times. But, thanks for the bit of cheer from Robert Janz. — JS Miller on Seen & Heard: Love in the time of COVID-19

I had the exact same experience. My groceries were due to arrive yesterday afternoon and the tracking on the Amazon website started and everything. It even told me my deliverer was on the way. Food never showed and they cancelled my order. — Ed on Whole Foods packed; shelves empty

Was there on a Sat or Sun for brunch this Fall... it was a relatively short wait (they texted us when they had seats available - we sat at the counter where we chatted with Chef Yoo). LOVED the Chicken Katsu Club (and ditto the Chinatown Sando). Staff was pleasant and understated. Prices very reasonable for this quality and creativity. Also, I believe the artwork is from locals. Looking forward to trying them for dinner once restaurants reopen, as they and many other places will need our support. — Franklin Foodie on New Kid in Two Bridges: Golden Diner

Jimmy Boy - Are you serious? You think the neighborhood needs more strip clubs? I gotta hear this...please unpack this logic...I'm open minded — MattieNYC on How FlashDancers is handing the coronavirus outbreak

Don't worry all...head to Stew Leonard's : I — MattieNYC on Seen & Heard: Love in the time of COVID-19

I ordered from Whole Foods on March 13 and with little choice of delivery times, I was due to receive the order yesterday evening, March 15 between 5-7 pm. When I didn't receive it by 7pm, I started contacting Prime and Amazon, They were very unhelpful and told me I might still get the order. In the middle of the night, I received an email that the order was cancelled without any explanation. I can understand that they couldn't deliver the order for various reasons, but I would have appreciated a text to that effect. — Joan Randell on Whole Foods packed; shelves empty

He isn't perfect but the mayor has done a # of good things for the city. Here are just a few: Pre-K for NYC children Dial NYC NYPL increase funding & massive digital upgrade $40-50 Billion for affordable housing Expanded sick day leave Minimum wage increase to $15 per hour NYPD now use body cameras Small amounts of marijuana leads to tickets but not arrests oh and you may like this one Michelle: NYC is home to more billionaires under this mayor. Don't be ignorant - learn stuff soon. — TG on How FlashDancers is handing the coronavirus outbreak

Coronavirus is such a complex subject and it requires true leadership. Yes, it is a huge issue financially for businesses as well as everyone else. But this is way beyond that, just like 9/11 was. The rules are out the window. We must self quarantine or lives will be put at risk. This is not a time for selfishness or self indulgence. — Marc on Seen & Heard: Love in the time of COVID-19

Thank you for all your hard work Alex TM. This is a trying time for all of us and you and your fellow workers have been real life savers for us all. I hope you stay safe and know that your work is appreciated. — TG on Whole Foods packed; shelves empty

Not sure how much City Winery shaming there is but "those" people who are "defying" the virus are selfish and ultimately ignorant. Their symptoms may be non-existent but what about those around them? This virus isn't about the individual. — TG on Seen & Heard: Love in the time of COVID-19

Elena, I love you ❤️ so proud of you ! So many negative comments, from miserable people They have nothing else better to do then slash your Brand.. You nurture the communities and give to the unfortunate.. You have a heart of gold .. Happy to have you back in Florida We forgive them ???? Your son Phil ! — Phil on Razzledazzle Barbershop has closed

I agree with the sentiments of BGE in that it would be good to have local businesses let the site know if they are open. Restaurants and stores with take out and delivery services can be supported to try to help them through this. Many of the larger restaurant chains have closed down completely but if any local places are trying to stay open and still offering take out or delivery we would be happy to try to support them. — Bob on Seen & Heard: Love in the time of COVID-19

One employee at 19 fulton street tested positive. 3rd floor. Offices being cleaned. Fyi. — Val on In the News: Citibank has one confirmed case of COVID-19
