Honestly, Diane? Could you please stay focused on the shitty streets and not your kids' shitty teeth? — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Gitano Is Coming Along

Apartments start on the third floor. I'd upload the CO if I could. Of note: it's a 1968 code building--meaning this development is a long time coming. — Evan on Nosy Neighbor: What’s That White Thing on 56 Leonard?

Back in the day, “pink it and shrink it” was how men’s clothing was adapted for women. It didn’t work. — A. on Seen & Heard: Maharishi Opening Forecast

Hello Rohin, I saw your comments and I wanted to let you know that we have never stopped doing take out/pick up or delivery since we opened. We use seamless for delivery just in case you are looking for how to get Harold's delivery. Best, — Gene on In the News: “The Destruction of Lower Manhattan”

Where can one check online for the actual usable square footage of an apartment (The Real Deal references Department of Finance documents)? Thanks! — M on In the News: Shady Square Footage at 443 Greenwich

Hey Erik- Did some sleuthing and I believe that is the apartment of Lee Mindel of the firm Shelton Mindel, or one of his clients. You can see the reflection of the sculpture on his instagram post, seen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjk7djZjXKK/?hl=en — T G on Nosy Neighbor: What’s That White Thing on 56 Leonard?

I had a Vietnamese coffee here while waiting for the interminable end of a gymnastics class. The place has a wonderful, family-run atmosphere. Very accepting of children. Service was warm but quirky. The place is not sleek by any means, but full of love. And everyone eating there seemed happy. — MM on Fast-Casual Vietnamese Restaurant Opening Here

Ouch. That news was a punch in the gut. — MM on Zutto Has Closed

If you mean 250 West (on the northeast corner of Hubert and West), the answer is facade repair. — Erik Torkells on In the News: Update on New White Street Building

No, it's not. — Erik Torkells on Nosy Neighbor: What’s That White Thing on 56 Leonard?

The future titans of Wall Street clearly learn while they are very young to not bother cleaning up after themselves. And I agree that the "moron" comment was a bit unhinged. — TG on Seen & Heard: Chalk Overload in Duane Park

It's white construction fencing. — Marcus on Nosy Neighbor: What’s That White Thing on 56 Leonard?

it is possible you have missed my point. There is a big difference between drawing with chalk on the sidewalk and playing in bucketsful of chalk dust. Adults should not be giving children toxic substances to play with, be it asbestos, mercury, lead paint chips, or chalk dust. Lung disease is not a joke. — S. on Seen & Heard: Chalk Overload in Duane Park

Does anyone know what is going on with the building on the corner of Hubert St and West? — Peter Robinson on In the News: Update on New White Street Building

Washington Market School is a cancer on our neighborhood. We should immediately separate these children from their parents in order to reprogram the mushy brains of these chalk devils. If we can't control the infiltration of chalk dust in our parks, then we don't have a neighborhood. — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Chalk Overload in Duane Park

In regards to your own water test, what company did you use to get your water tested? and how much did it cost? — TY on Seen & Heard: Results of a Tap Water Test

Inhaling chalk dust, like any fine particulate, like talcum powder, can damage the respiratory system. Those of us who were here on 9/11 are already compromised. The stuff shown in the pictures is a hazard that children should not be playing with in the first place, and certainly should not be dumped in the environment. https://sciencetrends.com/investigating-adverse-effects-chalk-dust-inhalation/ — S. on Seen & Heard: Chalk Overload in Duane Park

I was there on Thursday evening with my black dog and light colored flip flops and found it totally charming. We sat for an hour enjoying the warm breeze, birds chirping and beautiful rainbow chalk while a series of excellent random pianists serenaded us on the black and white piano. Three ladies sat opposite us on a bench sipping glasses of rose. It was a perfect New York moment. — Loved it on Seen & Heard: Chalk Overload in Duane Park

Dr. Karpov is moving. My kids are her patients and we got a notice that she's going to Greenwich & Harrison. New office to be ready by late July or early August. Still close by!! — Diane Fernandez on Seen & Heard: Gitano Is Coming Along

I lived here and watched while the whole cobblestone work was done very meticulously years ago. The issue is that Con Ed, Verizon and TW (spectrum) are constantly digging up for repairs and are never held accountable to put it back together the way they found it. — Stargazer on Seen & Heard: Gitano Is Coming Along

Children did this. With teachers leading and directing. The leaders of the school told me it was a children celebration of the day of colors. I stopped by and asked them to clean up their mess and to stop trashing the park the day after this event (which is a pretty regular mess this one was just worse). They told me they could not use the other children's park a half block away that has areas for children to play, since the "wrong kind of Children go to that park", to quote them exactly. I did receive a call back from the principal saying they were going to have it cleaned up that day.. but that was a couple days ago and it is still a mess. I went to the police station to see if there was anything they could do.. and they said it ok for children from schools to trash anything with chalk.. so there is nothing that can legally be done about this schools actions. I don't think it is very ethical for this school to be teaching kids that it is ok to trash public parks.. It is very unhealthy for dogs and has made this park unusable. They are a menace and a danger to the neighborhood. — Laurel Moody on Seen & Heard: Chalk Overload in Duane Park
