My understanding: migrants are being housed largely by HHC, the Health and Hospitals Corp. That's who had the contract for 99 Washington. 52 William is DHS, or DSS, Department of Social Services, which houses the homeless. The Radisson at 52 William has been a DHS shelter since 2021, I am pretty sure. Obviously as time goes on, there could be an overlap here... — Tribeca Citizen on Migrant shelter on Washington and Rector will close by June

Comment from the anonymous moniker "Native" implies that housing Americans in a shelter near a school would be safer than migrants. This is erroneous. There are equally as many criminals among Americans as there are among foreigners. — Heide Fasnacht on Migrant shelter on Washington and Rector will close by June

I’m sorry but there are not 289+ (Raddison) or 400+ Holiday Inn homeless people downtown. There are enough issues with 99 Washington that a larger scale one would be a disaster for our neighborhoods. I understand Peck Slip is definitely not the place for one either but let’s not advocate for something even larger… — XLA on Migrant shelter on Washington and Rector will close by June

Maybe others know, but my understanding is that the City is now housing homeless migrants through the City’s regular shelter system run by the Department of Homeless Services. Previously (due to administrative, capacity and funding reasons ) immigrants were housed in designated hotels and shelters - not the regular DHS system (shelters, residences, hotels) The City’s DHS homeless census is still quite high. — MSA on Migrant shelter on Washington and Rector will close by June

Yes, it is important that the public understand the nature of these relationships, since the public is apparently subsidizing them. "acts in collaboration" -- Is this just nice talk for commercializing space dedicated to affordable camps? In other words, GVLL and DLL paying P3 for the unpermitted use of Pier 40 indoor space for their little leagues' programming, available rain or shine? How many tens of thousands of dollars in fees to P3 has that collaboration amounted to over the years? "worked in collaboration" -- Is this also nice talk, for self-dealing by the operators of P3 for the unpermitted use of Pier 40 indoor space to operate their own exclusive enrollment-by-admission citywide (not just downtown Manhattan) travel baseball program? With per-player fees exceeding $5,000 per year, and an annual revenue of $700,000? — james on P3 will leave Pier 40 this summer

I am so happy. maybe one of these places can house homeless Americans. Instead of putting a " Safe Haven" shelter right near Peck Slip School. The parents and neighborhood should fight to place them somewhere else. Not near a school. The Taxpaying people are done with freebies to migrants. We have our own here. — Native on Migrant shelter on Washington and Rector will close by June

Thanks for stepping out! - P3 acts in collaboration with GVLL and DLL to coach their kids, they have also worked in collaboration to coach Gotham's kids. All of these are non profits. It feel important that the public understand the nature of these relationships as they parse out the needs of our community. The loss of P3 as support to multiple non profits is a travesty! Indoor batting is essential to the development of baseball and softball players! — Amy Durning on P3 will leave Pier 40 this summer

Thanks (again) for the way you do your restuarant write-ups. Posting the address, cross streets and menu is very reader friendly and appreciated. — Peter on Catching Up With New Kids: Forge

SO many kids will be hurt by the closing of P3. The indoor training facility is integral to the baseball and softball training for so many children throughout the city - not just downtown. From my understanding, P3 is actively trying to work with and appeal to Noreen Doyle. Noreen...there are many, many, MANY children and their parents who are begging you and the board to reconsider this decision. Please do not do this. — Kristina Kahn on P3 will leave Pier 40 this summer

Hmmm. Frenchette. Beautiful interior. Very heavy hand with salt. Inedible -- boeuf bourguignon and my husband's fish dish. And 11.00 for bread. — Martine on Local chefs and restaurateurs make semifinal status with James Beard

Totally agree. Great place and food but way too cramped and consequently way too noisy. — Karen on Catching Up With New Kids: Forge

Thanks for posting that reminder, Pam. I was in Fraunces Tavern that day, having lunch with a former colleague at NYC EPA, where we both worked in the early seventies. Our waiter was bringing our entrees -- shrimp creole for me -- when the blast went off. There was a huge boom, then stillness as everyone stayed rooted in place. Our dining room, one of the half-dozen or more, was far enough from the blast site that nothing in sight was damaged. Suddenly, half-a-dozen cook staff dashed through our room and out onto the street. One or two were bleeding. That was our first indication this was serious. My friend and I rushed out after them and around the corner to Broad Street. (She worked at 80 Broad and I had a family member working nearby.) Several men in business attire stood huddled on a tiny second-floor balcony, pleading for help as flames licked behind them. We kept going. We learned much later about the deaths and injuries. We know how fortunate we were. — Komanoff on Demanding justice for a 1975 Downtown bombing

Awesome artwork! Bravo! — Michael Bisk on New Kid on the Block: 81 Leonard Gallery

Everyone knows it is a non-profit; you can see their filings here. However they do not hold a permit to use that space. Only P3 does. — Tribeca Citizen on P3 will leave Pier 40 this summer

The space has been re-leased already. — Anon on Argo seems to have closed?
