Oh Erik, please don't banish him (yet) -- he's hilarious! — Paul on Seen & Heard: Newfangled Street Fair Today

The Post is horrible with facts and information. The penthouse is 471 washington and it's actually listed for $24.5, not $30mm. But I guess at that price range, what's a few million here or there, eh? — lowphat on In the News: Free Kayaking on Governors Island

You should check out recoursenyc.com. I just spoke to the guy who created it. He launched Grubhub in NYC and la in 2008 and is now doing a seamless with 0% commission and no monthly fees. He seems on his game, but let's see what he can do — Mark on Why Restaurants Hate GrubHub Seamless

As a City person, I don't now much about Malls, but do know about railroad stations and, our magnificent Grand Central Terminal has a large and beautiful waiting room. The Westfield Mall is an add-on to the real structure which is a train and subway station. There should be a waiting room where one may comfortably sit down and there is not. In an era where security is king and we have lost trash baskets and other amenities, we still ought to have a waiting room. — betty on In the News: Free Kayaking on Governors Island

The tone of this guy sounds like that other troll that was angry about the street fairs thing a few weeks ago. Anyhow, just wanted to add my two cents. I never got the impression that this blog was anything other than one person expressing his own opinions about the neighborhood. If you took it as anything more, then it's really your fault. With that said, I also never got the impression that he had a problem with anything different. Quite the opposite, I always felt like he wanted different things. Great example is the Italian sausage thing. There's nothing disparaging being said about italian sausages.. or italians.. or the san genarro festival (which is a pretty lame straw man argument). The fact is that EVERY SINGLE street fair in the city has the same stuff. Italian sausages. Cheap bed sheets. Reggae mix-tapes. Watermelon cut up by the Chinese guys. Etc... And as much as I personally hate the whole idea of a ramen burger, the point being made is that something different would be nice for a change. — lowphat on Seen & Heard: Newfangled Street Fair Today

Begone, troll! — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Newfangled Street Fair Today

In short, you have a problem with the different, the other, the foreign and it's sad. You even have a problem with the print name of the neighborhood which was, is, and always will be TriBeCa, deal with it. — A on Seen & Heard: Newfangled Street Fair Today

"Ramen burgers instead of Italian sausages." You have a problem with people who aren't white or as white as you, or at least not of your ethnicity or perceived approximation of it. For example, you groused about the Clear View street fairs on your precious block which are worked by people of Italian, Greek, Armenian etc. descent yet you don't say shi t about the street fairs for the TriBeCa Film Festival and Taste Of TriBeCa run by monied white people who aren't of those ethnicities. You then groused about how the food market opening in Chinatown wasn't "American" whatever the hell that means. Besides that why the hell do you want another place like Eataly when one just opened in the WTC? Now you're hoping this street fair on Beach Street doesn't sell ethnic food like Italian sausages like the CV fairs and the San Gennaro Feast do. What if it did? Don't buy it if you don't like it. Why disrespect the San Gennaro Feast (which may or may not be the first street fair in Manhattan if not all of NYC) by alluding to it with your "Italian sausages" nonsense? Ever stop to think some of your readers like myself are Italian American? Take great pride in our heritage, food, and feast which paved the way for all current street fairs? You took a shot at the SGF thus my people and I, so I'm sending it back. Here's a concept to wrap around your brain: A street fair can sell Italian sausages as well as ramen burgers, or does it have to cater to only your tastes? You come off like a typical vegetarian/vegan hipster/millenial who just moved here from ______ and wants everyone to be like him just sayin'. — A on Seen & Heard: Newfangled Street Fair Today

The Poop Scofflaw posting is mine. It isn't tongue and cheek. It's a serious complaint about people that don't pick up after their dogs. I am a dog owner, and, like most dog owners, I do my best to be respectful of other people using our sidewalks. However, there are some, and these are the scofflaws, that just leave it. Very disrespectful, unneighborly, and particularly with so many kids running around Tribeca, downright dirty. As for the super of the building, also a dog owner, he is simply being protective of a sapling just planted to replace a dead tree. It is not illegal for dogs to pee on trees, and they sure want to, but it isn't good for the trees either. We have now put up a tree guard and, of course, there's always someone who let's their dog jump into the tree pit. I'm reminded all too often of the company name of my first dog obedience trainers - Who's Walking Who — Richard on Seen & Heard: Apple Store Revealed

PTSD is something I have also and many others. We raised our children in this neighborhood that was told it was "safe:" to live after the attack. They have all gone through hard times at that time living down here. We all can write our own books. Between the Anxiety and illnesses and landlords that didn't do the right thing by us. — Original Tribeca on Seen & Heard: Newfangled Street Fair Today

Harrison has been a staple at Whole Foods for years. Every time I visit, I look for him subconsciously. I hope he continues to brighten up the lives of all who enter the doors, if only for a moment. — Keith on Valentine No. 53

Sounds promising. Will there be fresh produce sold inside also, or is it just the kind of specialty food stalls? — Marcus on In the News: More on the Canal Street Market

Have to second numero 28! Their Pizza is the best thin crust around. I love their Diavolo! — Rohin on The Seaport Is Getting a Big, Serious Pizzeria

Bravo Eric for singling out Harrison In a world of the grumpiest shoppers ever he is a joy to be greeted by everyday Thanks !!!! — Deborah on Valentine No. 53

That is a real concern. I would not want the legit businesses of Chinatown to disappear. Hopefully some core of it will be able to survive. — Marcus on A Food Hall Is Opening on Canal Street

Such a great guy! He is always happy and greeting guests with a welcoming smile. It is great to see this article. — Jason on Valentine No. 53
