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?

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

Popped in recently; fantastic addition to the neighborhood, great drinks and they were so nice. We will be regulars and wish them the best of luck! — O on New Kid on the Block: Interlude Coffee & Tea

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

Yes, that's possible (if there's space). — Erik Torkells on First Impressions: Manhatta

If you're not there for dinner, do you know if it's possible to drop in just for drinks and still enjoy and have benefits of the view, etc.? — james on First Impressions: Manhatta

Those cobblestones on Greenwhich St., and elsewhere I might add, are extremely dangerous. First of all who lays cobblestones almost 2” apart with the smooth side down & craggy side up? No wonder bikers ride on the sidewalks! I have been in a lot of places around the world and have never ever seen cobblestoned streets like this. I also remember the Hudson Street/8th Ave. cobblestones which were smooth on top and about 1/4” apart. You can still see some of the same type of cobblestone placements or what’s left of them on Franklin St. right near the curbs between Hudson & Varick. Even the first newer cobblestoning of Jay St. done in the early 80’s is awful. I love cobblestones myself but at this point of unskilled cobblestone layers I personally think it’s best to use it solely as decoration and not for traffic or pedestrian use. — Dixie on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino

The captain at a restaurant has a good hourly wage and probably receives benefits. Your server does not. Please tip your server. — anna on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino

Anyone know what is going in on the SE corner of Spring & Hudson. Lots of diggers there — Mrs M on Seen & Heard: More Redevelopment in Hudson Square

are they saying cappuccinos cost 12$? Crazy world! — Yourneighbor on New Kid on the Block: A Summer Day Café

They are such a great addition to the neighborhood. — KP on New Kid on the Block: Interlude Coffee & Tea

@James: I was talking about years ago. All of Hudson Street, IIRC, up to 14th Street was cobblestones. The replaced them back in the 90s (I think). When they were removed, one of the workers gave me a cobblestone to keep. I still have it. — KP on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino

Last week I told one of the boys I wasn’t interested and he yelled “a**hole!” at me as I walked away. Luckily my toddler wasn’t with me to witness the behavior! — Nicole on Seen & Heard: Remembering Nobu Downtown’s Chef

Where on Hudson Street leading to the Holland Tunnel are there now cobblestones? If they had held up so well, why were they apparently removed? — James on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino

The thing is that there have been high traffic streets that are cobblestoned that haven't had this problem. For example, Hudson Street had cobblestones for years and years, and they held up to the HEAVY Holland Tunnel traffic really well, IIRC. — KP on Seen & Heard: Tipping the Captain at Il Mulino

That’s the extent of what I heard, as I already said. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Big Residential Conversion Postponed

Any thoughts on *how* long "for a while" may be? — GEM on Seen & Heard: Big Residential Conversion Postponed
