Wow! what a great venture, Pam. Congratulations. I love your first column, cake and all. But do you really have three TEENAGE kids? That is simply amazing! As you grow into the publisher/editor/boss you were meant to be, remember your friends (and students) at Columbia Journalism. You make us proud. We'll be happy to send stories your way. best of luck in your new adventure, Ari — Ari Goldman on And Here’s to Many More

At the risk of being attacked for not being sufficiently sensitive, it's not clear to me that "such a joke would never be made about a man" - though I agree that it is tired and weak... For example: "In the new thriller Birdbrain, Manhattan hedge fund manager George Kellner is left alone in his Tribeca penthouse when his housekeeper, nanny and three personal assistants are delayed by a transit strike, and George is forced to find the kitchen and his yoga mat by himself" As a matter of fact, Gary Shteyngart's latest novel is basically a longer version of that joke and the antihero is a man. We may consider saving our outrage and offense for graver cases of bigotry. — EG on Seen & Heard: Whitmans Restaurant Is Open

You're ranting about the wrong point. She said that the area SOUTH of the WTC is harder to get to and that the streets being open will be more valuable to the buildings SOUTH of the WTC. It's nice to read what you're replying to before you try to get all smart and sarcastic. — lowphat on Nosy Neighbor: Will the World Trade Center Streets Ever Reopen to Cars?

Congrats Pam! Looking forward to reading your newsletters — Dorsa Nia on And Here’s to Many More

Just to add to that, Vornado, a company that may or may not know commercial real estate trends well (sarcasm font), literally closed a street next to Penn Station to build a pedestrian area. https://ny.curbed.com/2015/8/10/9932166/penn-stations-new-public-plaza-is-actually-kind-of-nice — DB on Nosy Neighbor: Will the World Trade Center Streets Ever Reopen to Cars?

Goodbye Erik, we'll really miss you!!!! :-( Can we still follow you on Instagram? Welcome Pam! So glad you are keeping TC going!!! — KP on And Here’s to Many More

I'm not quite sure I understand the premise that this area "hard" to reach. How many people going to any WTC complex are using personal autos? I'd wager the vast majority are taking public transit and then walking to the complex. Opening up these streets to cars would actually make it harder for people to access these buildings as you are now taking away pedestrian real estate for cars. This would mean more crowded sidewalks, which of course, is going to slow people down. Further Pam, are you sure that open streets are more lucrative to developers than pedestrianized plazas? We all know that Times Square is a ghost town for commercial real estate since those dang plazas and bike paths went up! While not an answer for ever commercial district, pedestrianized areas for places like FiDi, Midtown, and other dense areas are usually a welcome reprieve from exhaust spewing vehicles. — DB on Nosy Neighbor: Will the World Trade Center Streets Ever Reopen to Cars?

A perfect marriage of talent and love for the neighborhood! Like Erik, Pam has both in buckets. Now off to find a forkful of cake... — Karie Parker Davidson on And Here’s to Many More

I'm glad Greenwich will stay sleepy, but agree, the grid is where it's at. It think there will be more TK on this issue... — Pam Frederick on Nosy Neighbor: Will the World Trade Center Streets Ever Reopen to Cars?

Such a shame. Another wasted opportunity at the new Trade Center. They should have just rebuilt the super-block in its entirety. That's essentially what they did anyway, only now we can't access Liberty St. or Vesey around the complex anymore. — anthony on Nosy Neighbor: Will the World Trade Center Streets Ever Reopen to Cars?

Glad the space will open again, though sad to see it without the posters. A few years ago, Kurt (Blaue Gans owner) said his reason for opening in that location was to preserve the artwork originally assembled by the previous occupants, the owners of Le Zinc. https://ny.eater.com/2011/8/21/6658751/a-design-tour-of-blaue-gans-with-chef-kurt-gutenbrunner — Michael on Seen & Heard: Seafood coming to Blaue Gans space
