Because she was also in trouble with the law in connection with personal training? https://nypost.com/2011/08/01/4500-slap-for-hire-fliers/ "The Department of Sanitation slapped an astounding 60 violations on a Staten Island certified personal trainer for illegally posting ads for her services on Manhattan utility poles. "Patricia Okoumou, 37, spent five hours one Sunday in April posting the fliers. ”Then, on July 21, she received a package from Sanitation containing the tickets worth a total of $4,500 in fines. “'This is ridiculous. How can I pay this?' Okoumou said. "Such postings are illegal, and Sanitation can ticket for each individual violation." — James on In the News: Statue of Liberty Evacuation

What does that have to do with her protest? — Duane Street on In the News: Statue of Liberty Evacuation

So, the woman who scaled the Statue of Liberty was a personal trainer at Asphalt Green in Battery Park. When I joined last Spring, I signed up for a personal trainer and Therese was matched to me. I found her to have a very aggressive personality- so much so that I requested a different trainer shortly after meeting her. — Kathy on In the News: Statue of Liberty Evacuation

The Staple St. Skybridge is in need of repair. I got a good look at it from a roof deck nearby. — Huck's Mom on Wish List: 12 Buildings in Tribeca

At the risk of overcrowding them when they open, I wholeheartedly agree with Simon. Los Tacos No.1 is dollar for dollar one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. Absolutely fantastic. It's not a sit-down place or a place to share a meal with a companion or a group. It's stand-up-and-eat-and-be-on-your-way type of dining more like an indoor taco truck. I did try their second location in Time Square, and, while good, it was not quite at the level of execution as the Chelsea Mkt. original—let's hope this one is. I was hoping their next location would be downtown, and here they come! — Arthur on Mexican Chain to Open Here

Anyone have any idea what happened to Serafina's sidewalk cafe request? It was postponed last month and isn't on the agenda for July yet. — N on Spring Studios Wants to Expand Its Rooftop Usage

The people camping in Foley Square Park - on the basis of what I’ve seen so far - are not focused and not really serious about anything but self-expression. Though “abolish ICE” signs are most prominent, there are many other messages mixed in on small signs scattered over the grass like trash. An immediate turnoff to me are the anarchist signs and symbols. They have stew of diffuse grievances and causes with a peppering of PC and anti police messages. I spoke with one of the campers to ask what they’re actually doing - they said (I was corrected for using male identifier (“no labels!!”) they occasionally take good to immigrants waiting in line to get into Federal Plaza - and they’re sending a message to DiBlasio about NY being a sanctuary city. I don’t think they are organized or effective and they are trashing one of the few green spaces people have in this area. — Anne Baxter on Seen & Heard: Cantor Fitzgerald Banners at the World Trade Center

stopped going there when Albert the chef left. it changed and he has the best omakase around. bring albert back — adam glassman on Zutto Will Reopen

hands down some of the best tacos here in manhattan. very happy to hear they are getting into the neigbourhood — simon on Mexican Chain to Open Here

"Occupy ICE" aims to abolish this agency and its cruel and inhuman incarceration of refugees at our border. Disruption is a common tool used by protesters to draw attention to create change. Foley Square is emblematic of the justice system and therefore an apt choice for these protestors. I think it's a great reason to not avoid Foley Square. I intend to drop by and give them two thumbs up. I hope others will as well. — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: Cantor Fitzgerald Banners at the World Trade Center

Re: "stifling" political protest see: https://www.alternet.org/story/152743/12_most_absurd_laws_used_to_stifle_the_occupy_wall_st._movement_around_the_country "Most cities have an anti-camping ordinance on the books that prohibits camping or sleeping in public spaces, particularly public parks, to minimize the risk of nighttime criminal activity. [...] "Officials in various cities are citing ordinances that prohibit the erection of permanent or semi-permanent structures, referring to tents, tarps, sleeping bags, and in one city, umbrellas. [...] "Fortunately for the Occupy Wall Street protesters in NYC, the privately owned Zuccotti Park is open 24 hours a day, unlike city-owned parks that are usually closed in the late night to early morning hours. In city and state-owned parks occupied by protesters throughout the country, authorities are using park curfews to their advantage. [...] "The 'burn ban' generally applies to outdoor cooking, like grilling in the park, and is strictly followed by Wall Street protestors who refuse to give NYPD any reason to evict them. [...] "a ban on the area 6 feet from the building (almost the entire sidewalk), followed by the enforcement of a Chicago city ordinance preventing people from blocking the public way, aka sleeping or sitting on the sidewalk. (In NYC this is called 'impeding pedestrian traffic.') [...] "In NYC at least five protesters were arrested for violating a state statute that dates back 150 years and prohibits masked gatherings of two or more people, with the exception of masquerade balls. [...] "NYC protesters were required to have a permit to amplify sound" — James on Seen & Heard: Cantor Fitzgerald Banners at the World Trade Center

The so-called Tribeca Bridge was actually a Railroad Trestle manufactured by a firm in West VA. I saw it being floated in on a barge from my window at IPN. It was rated strong enough to run a RR train across, much less students from Stuyvesant H.S. I wonder how much it cost? — Frank DeMarco on In the News: Tribeca Bridge to Get Repainted

FYI, Zutto opened about the same time Puffy's(restored) did, circa 1978. The original Zutto was in a former warehouse space with the same Greek landlord we had at 81 Hudson. The original owner was Japanese, but had to sell the restaurant to a Korean after a divorce settlement. He moved to Honolulu, where he opened a sushi restaurant. — Frank DeMarco on Zutto Will Reopen

Does anyone know the laws around encampment? I thought it was illegal in a public park (at least if you are homeless but these protesters are no different). I called 311 to log a complaint against them but the 311 rep was pretty clueless. — dave on Seen & Heard: Cantor Fitzgerald Banners at the World Trade Center

The lady who ran Zaitzeff's is Amina. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/zaitzeff-new-york?select=2PI3rdwtS6onHeRu4FdZrQ&reviewid=ZbPwtf6YT-tGzqEOQbjBJA ACRIS shows that the neighboring buildings but NOT 72 Nassau St had transferred air rights amongst themselves, so unclear what height limits beyond the zoning resolution would apply. — James on Seen & Heard: Cantor Fitzgerald Banners at the World Trade Center
