The fat Russian sewer sludge has his lawyer send letters to attorneys representing restaurants and other businesses and it's always b.s. I work for one of them and the fat slob should be deported and his lawyer disbarred. Been going on many years. — Sara Rosen on In the News: Noise Pollution Near Tribeca Schools

I love the Chapmans!! How wonderful. I think my little patio may be too exposed to the winds and weather facing North and 35 flights up but I will check out the NY Beekeepers website and see. Wonderful and yummy! — TG on In the News: Another Racially Motivated Attack

It's a touchy subject these days. (And I should've said thanks for the links—the Wharton one really lays out the challenges faced by Barnes & Noble.) — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

My apartment looks out on the teenagers asking for donations on the corner of Duane and Greenwich and we have been observing them for what seems to be months now. I stopped to speak with them recently and had a nice conversation. They were very friendly and happy to provide more information about themselves, their group, and why they are raising money. This is the group they are with: https://www.brooklyn-leadership.org/house-of-champions/about/our-needs The groups website also connects to Fractured Atlas for donations: https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/fiscal/profile?id=13821#comments I called Fractured Atlas and they confirmed that this group is in good standing and are going to have someone follow up with me directly. While I don't necessarily agree with their fundraising techniques, I would like to believe they have good intentions unless I am proven wrong. — Chris on Seen & Heard: Remembering Nobu Downtown’s Chef

I'm so sorry that you were offended Erik. It was a bad attempt at humor. Enjoy the day. — Ruben on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

I don't know about B&N, but Gamestop is out at the end of the year. RKF has it up for lease. — mruptight on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

"Fake news" is a term being used by the government to discredit the media as dishonest—as if the media is making stuff up to show the president, and others, in a bad light. I don't think that's what you mean here—B&N's possible closing is something someone heard from someone in the know, but it's unverifiable (and labeled as such)—so I'm trying not take offense. But it's a struggle. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

It might not be fake news: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/can-barnes-noble-survive/ https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/12/barnes-noble-bookstores-retail-amazon — Ruben on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

If Barnes and Noble leaves does that make the Mysterious Bookshop the only book store left in Tribeca? No where to buy kids books then? — DeeDee on Seen & Heard: Is Barnes & Noble Closing at Year End?

"Unwarranted honking and stationary food-truck jingles produced the biggest spikes in noise. Both sources are illegal in New York City." So why aren't the laws enforced? — Marcus on In the News: Noise Pollution Near Tribeca Schools

Really nice people!! Its good energy over there. And honestly a reeally good cappuccino!! — Rose on New Kid on the Block: Interlude Coffee & Tea

The trip scammers on Greenwich are very aggressive and sometimes intimidating. On occasion, I have been approached two or three times on the same evening. It ruins my walk home from work. Since it is a scam, it is criminal, just not important enough for the powers that be to act. It is certainly a detriment to the quality of life in the neighborhood. — IJM on Seen & Heard: Remembering Nobu Downtown’s Chef

Agreed re: captain's comp and benefits. I would not tip the captain. Just my server. — TribMa on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino
