Not that I would do this, or even recommend it, but: Back when I worked on noisy, outdoor night shoots with a decent budget, sometimes annoyed locals would blast music out their windows. The only way to get them to turn it down? $$ — J Parnell on Seen & Heard: Tent & Trails Is Ready to Cash Out

This 1870 map labels the street "North Moore." http://web.archive.org/web/20031013132007/http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Map/1870/1870.NYC.html — James on Nosy Neighbor: Is There a Moore Street?

"Someone, possibly a real person but it doesn’t seem that way, asked the New York Times why N. Moore Street has the “N.” The answer: 'North Moore […] was named after Benjamin Moore, a rector of Trinity Church and an Episcopal bishop of New York who was the president of Columbia College from 1801 to 1811. He was a British loyalist during the American Revolution but remained prominent in the church; his former Tory sympathies were no barrier to his promotion to bishop in 1801. The street was called North Moore to distinguish it from Moore Street in the financial district, which already existed. Moore Street, according to Henry Moscow’s Street Book, was not named for anyone, but was derived from Moor Street, off which ships anchored in the East River.'” https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2012/08/19/in-the-news-pier-40-restrooms-closed/ — James on Nosy Neighbor: Is There a Moore Street?

For what it's worth: According to Henry Moscow's "The Street Book", Moore Street was originally "Moor Street, off which ships anchored in the East River. The custom house stood nearby and a pier was built in front of it." — s on Nosy Neighbor: Is There a Moore Street?

me, too — safe as milk on In the News: Pedestrian Head Starts

it's just a terrible location period. the traffic and the noise from the holland tunnel is 24x7. i was astonished when they built that thing. — safe as milk on The Trump Soho Hotel Is Ditching Trump

I’m not sure why anyone thought the restaurants at 3 WTC were opening this year. The tower isn’t even opening until the summer. — Anthony on In the News: Some Relief for Small Businesses

Awesome piece! — Will Meyerhofer on 2017 Shop-Local Gift Guide (Part 1)

Damn, I would have gotten that. I walked by last Wednesday, and noticed the poor tree was gone. What happened to it? — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca…?

We moved to Chelsea a year and a half ago but I still check TC regularly for proof that there are still good people in the world. Keep it up, good people of Tribeca! — kristopher on Seen & Heard: A Peek Inside Buddha Bar

That hotel was on the brink of failure and son Eric and Co knew that...only 30% of condo units sold, occupancy rates way down, nightclub in the hotel closed long ago, etc. That coupled with the fact that Trump only pocketed $3M/year on the property. My guess is that between some of the criminal connections on the part of the CIM organization and potential Russia connections it was time to shut it down. — Bob Jacobs on The Trump Soho Hotel Is Ditching Trump

The most amazing thing at La Pedrera IMO is the display showing how Gaudi designed arches by modeling them (100 years before computer aided design) with hanging chains, letting gravity create the arches upside down. — James on Seen & Heard: 101 Barclay Flash Mob

DDG would have one believe that its 325 West Broadway references Gaudi in its natural structural elements (albeit in a tensile material--metal--rather than a compressive material like concrete). http://ddgpartners.com/press/this-skeleton-inspired-building-brings-a-little-gaudi-to-nyc/ — James on Seen & Heard: 101 Barclay Flash Mob

Awesome idea for a flashmob at BONY's 101 Barclay! Happy to post on FiDi Fan Page when the time comes. — Luis Vazquez (FiDi Fan Page) on Seen & Heard: 101 Barclay Flash Mob

Re: homeless South Asian man. I work for the NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health and would potentially be able to connect this man to community-based organizations that could help. Erik - could you connect me to the folks who have been speaking to this man? Thanks so much. — Stella on Seen & Heard: A Peek Inside Buddha Bar

You pick a date and we will be there. Great idea. Let's organize a protest to get something done. Make a claim about race or inequality and you might actually get Margaret Chin to show up. — Jim on In the News: Pedestrian Head Starts

The Buddha Bar will be a disaster for the people on Thomas. I am shocked that the residents on that street they were not able to organize and block this. Going to be a bunch of B&T folks loitering on that block and making noise all night. What a shame. — Nancy on Seen & Heard: A Peek Inside Buddha Bar
