DO no work for this company they break promises and favortizes certain people and push out people with disabilities! Best market it more like worst market.

The Fulton Center has been like that since it opened. I have seen men taking their pants off (twice), at least one fist fight, and a long list of really aggressive crazy scary stuff. Isn’t there a security guard, you ask? Best place to look is the passage between Neuhaus and John Street. He may even look up from his cell phone if you tell him about an incident. I don’t think it has anything to do with why there’s so little seating in the Oculus (they keep adding more there as you mentioned in a recent post). The Fulton Center is a dark, dismal, depressing place with no security and some people feel comfortable with that. — Hudson River on Seen & Heard: Another Card-Only Café

I’ve been told at a few establishments as I’m paying with cash, “we prefer card payment.” As the customer, I prefer to patronize businesses that accept the whatever form of payment I’m offering for goods and services that are abundantly available in this great city. — [Emojis redacted] on Seen & Heard: Another Card-Only Café

I hear you Erik, and I feel for the plight of coffee farmers in developing nations, but at the moment our own nation is on the brink of developing into something very dangerous and ugly and no matter how you cut it - Mr. Jackman is supporting a racist regime by being friends with two of its members. I find it ironic that Mr. Jackman is friends with two people who are active members of an administration intent on banning people from coming to the United States (even those seeking asylum) who come from some of the very countries he is purportedly trying to help. He is free to choose with whom he wants to surround himself and I am free to choose where I spend my money. I'll stick with boycotting Laughing Man and giving my money to Jack's Stir Brew which serves fair trade coffee. I urge others to do the same. — F on Seen & Heard: Make a Little Good Happen

Food Emporium and Best Market were both good - though the seafood aisle was SCARY. I've shopped Trader Joe's and don't get what all the hype is about it. Whole Foods is laid out wrong - have to walk a football field to check out and then get back to the other end of the store, with groceries, to get home - is too busy most of the time, is understaffed and is overpriced. Target is over-priced. Washington Square Market is great on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but sometimes I just need to run out for some items to make dinner. — 295 Greenwich Resident on Best Market Has Closed

Certain items you mention are certainly within the purview of the MTA, e.g., "all-door boarding, replacement of “dip” payment with faster 'tap' media." Others types of items require official and unofficial cooperation from NYPD and DOT, e.g., lane enforcement and traffic signal priority (TSP) technology, as well as "curbside parking reform, and finis to placard corruption." Then one really needs legislative approval from Albany for traffic lane enforcement cameras on the front of all buses when parking reform and placard enforcement are sabotaged, and not just State approval for "congestion pricing." The word "daunting" best describes the challenge. All of these are items that require more than money; they require political will from the elected cowards from all parties in our City and State governments. — James on Seen & Heard: Make a Little Good Happen

Funny, I have no problem picturing buses averaging 12-15 mph in Manhattan -- with all-door boarding, replacement of "dip" payment with faster "tap" media, congestion pricing, curbside parking reform, and finis to placard corruption. Some progressive electeds and dozens of civic org's are working for these measures. We're actually making progress, you should join us. — Komanoff on Seen & Heard: Make a Little Good Happen

I'm all for ostracizing people in this regime (and if Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are moderating influences, they're either remarkably ineffectual or the situation is even worse than it seems). But do bear in mind that Laughing Man is a non-profit organization aimed at helping coffee farmers in developing nations. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Make a Little Good Happen
