Forgot to ask! Will find out. — Pam Frederick on Seen & Heard: Protest on Harrison against Heastie fundraiser

Dudley's Paw was one of my (and Chuy's) favorite shops in the neighborhood. Chuy would literally drag me to there to get Yvonne's generous offerings of liver treats. Such a loss :( — Kelly on Saying goodbye to Dudley’s Paw, one dog at a time

The PS89 PTA and Taste of BPC team is welcoming and inclusive. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We would love to open a dialogue about partnering with 276. Please feel free to reach out directly communications@ps89pta.org — PS89 PTA Communications on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

yeah I kind of saw it that way as well - Afm/Ldd/Llm is probably the same person, bitter that 276 isn't part of the event. I was just trying to give him/her a chance to elaborate on their gripe. — lowphat on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

No one is excluded from this event and everyone is welcome to attend! Tickets can be purchase on Eventbrite : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/taste-of-battery-park-city-2019-tickets-54766527157 — Gaelle on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

Not sure anyone was ever “excluded”. Best to ask PS 89 PTA for an answer. My understanding is that school parents put in a lot of efforts to organize a nice community event to benefit the school and the children. — RT1975 on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

What a lovely event organized by the parents of Batter Park City!! Look forward to attending again and enjoying great food, great activities and benefiting a great cause, helping fund school activities at PS89! — BPCResident on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

Real estate brokers are often shortsighted and fail to warn their prospective tenant clients that buying or renting a retail condo (as opposed to renting in a single-owner rental building) in Tribeca for use as a bar or restaurant is often a fool's errand. Co-op and condo residents usually want a quiet, dry use in the building, and one cannot really blame then. However, they will often hold up the execution of leases, liquor license applications, and sidewalk cafe applications, and restaurateurs should be aware.

This is an appropriation, not an homage or pastiche IMO. At least the Pearl Paint sign remains in public view, unlike the Terra Cotta medallion removed from the facade of the demolished Tunnel Garage nearby at Broome and Thompson Sts. That was placed at the residents' roof deck of the successor building.

Lived in Tribeca for almost 40 years - moved out in 2014. Yvonne, I saw your shop open, my kids introduced me to Dudley and forever more we were there. Thank you from the State of Virginia for loving memories of my years in Tribeca. — Su Star on Saying goodbye to Dudley’s Paw, one dog at a time

sorry, pressed enter too quickly. I also wanted to add that I'm curious as to why 276 is excluded? Is there a specific reason? — lowphat on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

Ldd/Llm - you've made it very clear, no need to repeat yourself. And the article does not say it benefits all schools in the neighborhood, it says "there is no more important cause than the schools in this neighborhood.". — lowphat on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

Security Guards- From THE CITY newsletter: "A program that uses public funds to pay for unarmed security guards at private schools – including some of the city’s most elite institutions – is on pace to cost taxpayers $22.3 million over the last three years, THE CITY has learned." — Bob on Seen & Heard: Australian bridal imports on Warren

I don't know what pastiche even means but it's definitely not a homage — lowphat on Seen & Heard: Soho/Noho planning meeting tonight

Homage or pastiche? When the rich and complicated history of a place is erased, and some small token of it remains that, to me, is pastiche. — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: Soho/Noho planning meeting tonight

To be clear, it doesn’t benefit all schools in our neighborhood- only benefits PS89 not PS/IS276- who is not allowed to participate. — Llm on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

Good point about the major news outlets! I've seen nothing about this in the New York Times, for example. Maybe it's time to start writing letters to the newspapers as well: https://help.nytimes.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014925288-How-to-submit-a-letter-to-the-editor — Marcus on Hearing for jail devolves into accusations of racism and fairness

No River House or Treadwells, two of the closest restaurants to this even. Merchants must be trying to save money still. — George Eustace on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

To be clear, although it is Taste of BPC, PS/IS276 does not benefit from this event and has not been allowed to participate in it. — Ldd on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

School. Not schools. — Afm on Taste of Battery Park City on for this Saturday

We already miss Dudley’s paw after moving to Texas in 2015. On every visit to NYC, our dog Reggie drags us over to Dudley’s Paw regardless of whether the store is open or not. This was Reggie’s favorite Tribeca store. You will be missed. — Brian Mulligan on Saying goodbye to Dudley’s Paw, one dog at a time

57 Lispenard, also called the Pearl Paint Lofts, is the residential conversion of the Pearl Paint building (the main entrance used to be on Canal). The developer hung the original signage in the lobby as an homage to their origins. — Manisha on Seen & Heard: Soho/Noho planning meeting tonight

Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. Just to update, as a former member of CB1,I had been complaining about the cobblestones - not only in Tribeca but in the West Village as well, for a few years. I finally got to point out the issue to the Department of Transportation at a Quality of Life Meeting. I was asked to make a list of all the streets affected -- That annoyed me. I don't work for the department of transportation. I am a volunteer. I explained just how dangerous the situation is - for people crossing; for baby carriages - seniors especially and with walkers; wheelchairs; bike riders and of course, cars. I mentioned that many bike riders use the sidewalk for this reason, creating an even more dangerous situation on the sidewalk. I mentioned that this contributed to traffic issues - since all cars must slow down almost to a crawl when driving over it. I put much of it in writing and warned that someone could eventually get very hurt. Well, a few months back, a tenant at 40 Harrison fell on those broken up streets and broke his hip. I won't go into the whole story because it's personal to his family and does not have a happy ending. It was THAT incident that finally got everyone moving - at least a little. Days after, Mayor DeBlasio was making a speech on the West Side Highway and a neighbor begged him to look at the cobblestones on Harrison Street - explaining the accident, etc. He assigned one of his assistants to help out. Since then, the DOT did some research and the last word from the Mayor's office was that there were sink holes on Harrison. If that is the case - then our community has a lot more to worry about than just cobblestones, but I tend not to accept that estimation as the whole truth. People with knowledge about urban planning said that the stones were not installed properly. There is too much space between them. Prior to that, the last stones lasted well over 100 years. These stones were put in not even 7 years ago (unless I'm wrong) and I believe the company who installed them should be held responsible to lay them again. After all, the city paid a fortune for those new stones and installation - and shouldn't they be warranted to withstand traffic etc like the ones before? This story goes on and on and getting results is incredibly frustrating. I do not believe the trucks, etc. are causing the problems -- I believe strongly they were installed wrong. I can keep you guys posted if you'd like. I've worked with the Community Board, some of our elected officials and the DOT - and the Mayor's office. How many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb? This problem has gone on too long and for the amount of money it cost the city, it is completely unacceptable. WHY DO THEY SIMPLY DISMISS ASKING THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTOR TO FIX THE JOB? Or - if that contractor doesn't know what it's doing, they are responsible to find someone who does. Diane Lapson President Independence Plaza North Tenant Association and former member of CB1 P.S. Those cobblestoned streets are very dangerous to walk on - so please be really careful. No jokes here. — Diane Lapson on Eyesore of the Week: Greenwich Street cobbles
