And bad behavior need not wait for a holiday of any kind. — PeterD on Seen & Heard: Last call on the Pier 17 rink

As someone who is visually impaired, this nonsense of people bringing their animals everywhere (restaurants among them) is just absurd. There are people who have legitimate reasons to have a service dog (I do not currently have one.. but one day I may have to)... and these self-absorbed nitwits who bring their pets everywhere as an accessory to their fabulousness should be ashamed. Those animals are not properly trained as service animals and the owners are certainly not properly trained how to use one either. I'm not part of the instant outrage culture that seems to have taken over society.... I'm just taking this opportunity to point out the selfishness of these people should called out & the behavior discouraged. — Jeff on In the News: Taylor Swift has another break-in

Why can’t dogs go to restaurants? It is one of my many favorite things about France. — Amy on In the News: Taylor Swift has another break-in

A holiday need not be "fake" for it bring out bad behavior... — EG on Seen & Heard: Last call on the Pier 17 rink

The solution in my opinion is lowering taxes not raising them. If the cost of living here gets to high people will leave. say no to tolls and congestion pricing. — perryro on In the News: Pied a terre tax + the MTA

The Taylor Swift break ins are very scary. There are some crazy people out there. — TG on In the News: Taylor Swift has another break-in

Funny Marcus! So the change in the law explains why I see more and more dogs in Whole Foods. It bothers me as it seems lazy to me. I have a dog and I walk her and then take her home and go out AGAIN to go shopping. It's not like the dogs are having any fun and some of them aren't Whole Foods trained...but I guess you could say that about the Dads who lets their toddlers play with the cans and then leave them in the aisles when the kids are finished as well!! — TG on In the News: Taylor Swift has another break-in

TriBeCa Mom you are being a tad too sensitive. The comment wasn't an indictment of Irish people - it is a well known fact that this year's St. Patrick's Day is going to be different than the usual Sundays on Stone Street. If you want to get all sensitive may I suggest focusing on say, Santa Con? What a load of bad behavior that fake holiday brings out! — TG on Seen & Heard: Last call on the Pier 17 rink

Congestion Tax, Pied a Terre Tax, Millionaire Tax, Higher Fare, Parking Stickers, All extra charges. Forget about it. Just motivates people to move out and leave this madness. Raise the Taxes, Raise the Fare. Microchip everyone and Tax them when they pass go. — perryro on In the News: Pied a terre tax + the MTA

Rumor has it that the neighbors above Bouley are not happy with the planned restaurant/bar and are planning to come out to protest it at the meeting. Don't know anything else about what is in the works other than the fact that they are already frustrated with the noise/scene next door at Weather UP. — Elizabeth on CB1 meetings for March

GennaR. wins with "the one." — Pam Frederick on Where in Tribeca?

Not rude, but normal. New York City bars may start serving alcohol at 7:00 AM Monday through Saturday and noon on Sundays. They must stop serving alcohol at 4:00 AM. — PeterD on Seen & Heard: Last call on the Pier 17 rink

And what time do the "bars kick off" on a regular Sunday when it's not St. Patrick's Day? How Rude! — Tribeca Mom on Seen & Heard: Last call on the Pier 17 rink

I left a comment on here hours ago... what’s with the policing? — T on New Kid on the Block: Savida

I too love the idea of strolling into neighborhood restaurants-but not for a 2.5 hour wait as I was informed earlier this week. So we did stroll one block over and had a delicious meal, as always at Shigure - the hidden gem of our neighborhood. — TheBlackSquirrel on Au Cheval update: Worth the wait?

I have always wondered why the city doesn't ticket these jerk drivers. At first the city would make a fortune and then we might see an improvement. Add to this list the drivers who block intersections because it's so important to advance a few feet in traffic. — B. on In the News: Pied a terre tax + the MTA

Finally I can bring my service crocodile to dinner! Don't worry. He's very well-behaved. He has almost never attacked a waiter, although he has been known to swallow cell phones of other diners who spoke a bit too loudly and were interfering with his enjoyment of the meal. — Marcus on In the News: Taylor Swift has another break-in

Since we need to somehow find tax income to "save" the MTA, along with congestion pricing, I would also like to see a tax on reckless drivers who believe themselves above the law, and who thus ignore inconveniences like red lights, pedestrian walkways, pedestrians themselves, and put lives at risk as a result. Canal Street in particular is a fun game of "Frogger" (does anyone remember Frogger?). Check your life insurance policy before attempting to cross. A reasonable tax would be, say, impounding and selling their vehicles, and using the income to help fund MTA repairs. — Marcus on In the News: Pied a terre tax + the MTA

Tjey’re Open for lunch, and busy, even at 3PM — A. on Au Cheval update: Worth the wait?

I better go back to writing about hamburgers. I can barely keep up with you guys. — Pam Frederick on In the News: Pied a terre tax + the MTA

What should I type?? Fidi? Financial District? — Pam Frederick on In the News: Joe’s Pizza Is Opening in FiDi

Actually, James, CM Chin does support congestion pricing, consistently and strongly, and with none of the b.s. about resident discounts or exemptions that, politically, would strangle its political chances. And she has been similarly outspoken on placard abuse for years. So please don't blame her that c.p. is still facing a tough vote in Albany at the end of the month. Direct your ire instead at downtown Assemblywomen Niou and Glick, who have been lukewarm at best. And on placard abuse, aim your frustration and anger -- which I share -- at de Blasio, who for reasons of cowardice and entitlement, has and will do zero to reduce placard parking, whether legal or illegal. — Charles Komanoff on In the News: Pied a terre tax + the MTA
