Thanks! I used it this morning. The escalators are out of service already. So what else is new? They're digging up the southwest corner of the WTC memorial plaza, too. — Hudson River on Sneak Peek Inside the Fulton Center

There are 2 elevators to access Hudson eats. One is inside the "tunnel" that used to go to the old rite aid. Take it up to L and walk all the way over to Hudson eats on the other side of the winter garden. The other entrance is right off the outdoor garden which currently has scaffolding over it. There is a security guy there most of the time. It is a glass door with new stairs, the elevator is located inside those doors behind the stairs. It takes you directly to hudson eats. I've used both elevators Saturday and Sunday. — Courtney on Seen & Heard: Hudson Eats Elevator Access

I was at Hudson Eats this past Sunday with my stroller. We used an elevator by Vesey (over by where the old burrito place used to be), and walked over on the second floor. A bit of a maze, but doable. There was an elevator across from Dos Torros, but it was not working on Sunday. — Jennifer Kenny on Seen & Heard: Hudson Eats Elevator Access

As of Sunday there was no elevator access. You either have to carry your stroller up the stairs or park it outside the building. They will not let you leave your stroller unattended inside the building. — Brett on Inside Hudson Eats: Part 2

Do you know if there is elevator access? I walked over there this am and didn't see anything. I asked what looked like a custodial worker and he said not yet. I find that odd given the number of families with strollers in the area. — Jessica on Inside Hudson Eats: Part 2

Do you know how many more stories they are adding to Franklin Place? — Brett on Seen & Heard: Exceed Physical Culture Opens Next Week

I know it's cool these days to want to preserve the neighborhood but anything that's built there will be better than the pos that's sitting on church now. — lowphat on Attack of the Real Estate Developers!

Thanks for the info. Here's a link if anyone wants a closer look: http://www.dji.com/product/spreading-wings-s1000 — Erik Torkells on Attack of the Real Estate Developers!

They were flying it pretty high, so I have to imagine they are excited about the possibility of air rights.... I hope they dont get them! — nicole on Attack of the Real Estate Developers!

Maybe we can get CB1 to start a Drone task force to study the problem or "frame" something.... — Brady on Attack of the Real Estate Developers!

Flying a drone is illegal except in sanctioned model aircraft parks -- of which there are three in the city. if that wasn't being used for official use or with official permission, that is illegal. drones are used all the time now in real estate, btw. I fly a few in eastern PA and am always approached to take pictures of lots and properties. If you doubt my bonafides, I can name the drone from that pic.

I just came back from work and saw the same drone in the same spot on Warren around 8pm. — alee on Attack of the Real Estate Developers!

KP... Hilarious!! hahha :) — Rohin on Attack of the Real Estate Developers!

It would make sense that real estate agents would use a drone in the shape of a bloodsucking tick. — KP on Attack of the Real Estate Developers!

This sounds eerily similar to what the owner of Club Remix tried pulling last year (when it went by the name of Quest). As you'll see from the attached link, it was a little less "underground," and attempted to skirt the law by calling itself a private club. Hopefully the owner of Remix isn't going to try to play "host" again for this kind of nonsense.....but if he does, we'll be ready. http://nypost.com/2013/03/13/career-girl-by-day-stripper-by-night/ — BobR on In the News: Nine-Story Penthouse Atop the Woolworth Building

Agreed. When I moved into this neighborhood in the seventies three were LOTS of private sex clubs in the Financial District. It was a function of the times, of course, but they were well known, and known to be clean, orderly, well-lit, and frankly, sanctioned by the local constabulary. This brings up a much, much longer discussion of the nature of the enterprise and of society, but that's for another time. — David G. Imber on In the News: Nine-Story Penthouse Atop the Woolworth Building

I get the clever satire in your comment, but If you read the article, I think you would agree that it is skeevy, and sad....and expensive, but this is a free market economy and clearly the market will bear it. I know this is the oldest profession and it isn't going away anytime soon, but the article's description of the nuts and bolts of operation makes me sad for ALL involved. — Andrea on In the News: Nine-Story Penthouse Atop the Woolworth Building

...although now that I've read the article I don't feel I'd put up an argument against your description. — David G. Imber on In the News: Nine-Story Penthouse Atop the Woolworth Building

Marbellera, it is absolutely untrue that "every place" (or even most) caters to the 9-5 crowd. That was true several years ago but not today. You ignore the fact that even though 61,000 people do now live here, more than 350,000 office workers are here too as well as millions of tourists and increasingly thousands of hotel guests, so of course lots of the food trade will cater to that crowd. That said, big changes are coming. McNally & Collichio are said to be opening restaurants at the Beekman. Another 15,000 sf high end restaurant is said to be coming to 70 Pine. Others are on the way including Da Claudio on Ann Street. Still other restaurateurs are said to be scouting the area. But make no mistake. There will always be a focus on faster food because that IS a very important part of the market. I love the area and where it is headed and it's exciting to see. — Luis on An Update on Le District

Re: sex club that you describe as "skeevy" and "sad" on your FB link: This is troubling - to think that the high caliber of the neighborhood and positive moral and ethical atmosphere of the Financial District might be sullied by people engaged in less than completely honorable social interactions. I say we start a movement to banish all such practices from this sanctified locus of our nation's political and economic activity in the world. — David G. Imber on In the News: Nine-Story Penthouse Atop the Woolworth Building

Had the Pulled Duroc Pork from Num Pang today for lunch and it was really good. Every place had a line at 11:30 but was easily able to find a seat by the window. Everything was pretty organized except some of the lines overlapped so you had to make sure you were on the right one. Umami Burger, Blue Ribbon Sushi and Black Seed were not open this afternoon. — TribecaMom on Inside Hudson Eats: Part 3

EXACTLY. 60,000 people have moved downtown to live there. yet the supporting infrastructure is built for people who work there. every place, retailers/restaurants, caters to 9-5. bring em in, move em out. we need an Odeon. someplace that isn't just for tourists with tired feet. someplace that isn't a feed hall for people rushing to get back to their desks or whose space is mostly used for people waiting in line to order. someplace with waiters and waitresses, not a line of servers who make your food in front of you. someplace that is thinking of residents. someplace that cares about its food and atmosphere. someplace people will come downtown for. someplace! — Mabellera on An Update on Le District
