They own the building, so put away the violins. I will also never forget how they price-gouged on Sept 12, 2001.

How can any of these plans happen with no regulation of Uber & Co.? A giant SVU picks up one woman and her yoga mat! Really? Thanks Bloomberg. Regulation should not be a dirty word. — TG on A pedestrian-friendly plan for Fidi

their salad bar was never very good. they just don't have enough business to keep the salad bar fresh. makes sense to close it. this place has been here forever. i was in there after 9/11 and i didn't get ripped off. i give them credit for opening on 9/12. the staff is always very nice and efficient. the sandwiches are good and they keep everything properly refrigerated and covered unlike most delis. the produce is very good. yes, it's expensive but that's too be expected when you consider the location and convenience. i hope they never go away. — safe as milk on End of (another) era at Morgan’s

Interesting, but sounds like a recipe for disaster in the age of weaponized vehicles (as Really? points out above). I'd prefer more no-car areas of the city... I'm tired of nearly getting killed by lunatics with the "right" to haphazardly, distractedly, angrily, and with blatant disregard for traffic rules and lights, propel 2 tons of steel through a densely populated and pedestrian-heavy city. This can change. It was not always so that cars ruled the cities. Take back the streets indeed.

Florida property tax rates are set by the county and the only way an out of state person pays more is when they cannot claim the Homestead Exemption. Florida residents that own at least two homes cannot take more than one exemption, and it has to be the house they live in. — Jim Stolte on In the News: Pied a terre tax + the MTA
i been living down there since 92, never shopped there, unless you want to spend triple the amount on anything. Rude people no heart after 911. After Best Market closed i order on Peapod and go to Target and Wholefoods for little things. Its not affordable for the working class. Wish the old days were back when our neighborhood had character. When only starving artiest lived here. Diverse middle income families that Made Tribeca, Tribeca. Money and Greed had taken over. So terrible — NATIVE on End of (another) era at Morgan’s
"The partnership behind the 96-key luxury hotel development at 456 Greenwich Street filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Thursday, claiming that it was necessary to protect its investment after its landlord made it impossible to secure financing for the project. " 'The partnership has been in discussions with various lenders to complete the project financing, but the landlord’s President, Vincent J. Ponte, has refused to approve various standard loan and financing terms which are common in the market that have been presented to him,' said Ivaylo Ninov of Mactaggart Family & Partners, speaking as principal of the general partner in a statement. 'The partnership is confident that financing will be obtained through the bankruptcy process to complete the project.'" https://therealdeal.com/2019/03/15/developer-behind-tribeca-hotel-says-ponte-family-forced-partnership-into-bankruptcy/amp/ — James on Seen & Heard: Pier 25 playground back online

No luck to this place. Wed Sept 12th, 2001. The day after the worst day of our lives. The power was out for 24 hours. I bought one loaf of bread, One (not frozen anymore) pizza, one quart of warm milk, one warm orange juice. $35 Cash. They riped us off in our drakest hours . I've never been back since, nor ever will again. — jezz on End of (another) era at Morgan’s
What’s up with Morgans? Link does not work. — SW on Seen & Heard: Lecture on girls + leadership
Here son, let's get your haircut while we objectify women. Um, no thanks. I really dislike taking my young girls by the slutty pictures in the window. Why must we sell sex at the eye level of a 6 year old? — DeeDee on New Kid on the Block: Razzledazzle Barbershop
Great! But watch spelling: like the Bronx's Van Cortlandt Park (a personal fave) we are dealing with a historic Dutch settler name, with its requisite extra consonants... — Pam Frederick on New Kids on the Block: Au Cheval, Sawada Coffee and Peep Show
