That’s not correct that riders with disabilities are exempt because people can be disabled from health problems (for example, if one has cancer or some disease that’s not permanent) but not be able to get disability, or to be considered disabled. I couldn’t walk for a year because of a foot and ankle problem & thus couldn’t take the subway or the bus but I could not get anything official that said I was disabled. — Me on The Latest: Congestion pricing clears another hurdle

Do you really think people use cars because of how long it takes to get somewhere? What about older people or people with health problems or those who can’t climb subway stairs? they need to take a car to get to doctor appointments and hospitals, etc. Have some empathy and don’t imagine that everybody is just like you. — Me on The Latest: Congestion pricing clears another hurdle

That’s just a totally uninformed comment. — Me on The Latest: Congestion pricing clears another hurdle

Nice one, Debbie! — HappyHappy on Washington Market Park basketball gets a rehab — and an immersive mural

Can't wait to try your new place. So excited for you! — Christine and Nick Kotsonis on Eulalie is getting closer to opening

Grateful, but perhaps there were some other courts (neighborhoods) around the city that could have been considered more deserving? Could they simply be trying to promote their select Kids of America brand to a targeted (10013) demographic? Of course they are. 1 Euro equals 1.08 USD. Check out their website. Also, are the court renderings accurate? No Les Deux logos anywhere to be found? — ps on Washington Market Park basketball gets a rehab — and an immersive mural

I hope it’s opening despite this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiVt__904eBAxX6MVkFHcwRDJwQFnoECAEQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2023%2F08%2F30%2Fdining%2Fbig-gay-ice-cream-nyc.html&usg=AOvVaw3DZ4ovjKQHcZ2UosaOKrc3&opi=89978449 — HCR on Big Gay Ice Cream opening on Washington

Rats may well be proliferating because of "putting trash out in bags on the street" but they are also proliferating because of putting eating sheds out on the street as well. — George Bacon on In the News: Who’s got the best breakfast burrito?

There was just an article in The NY Times on big gay ice cream that it has shrunk to a single store and it talks about a founder who sues a partner he accuses of mismanagement and fraud.: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/30/dining/big-gay-ice-cream-nyc.html — Stasja on Seen & Heard: Movie nights coming up in WMP

Dear Tina and Chip, I loved The Simone on the UES and mourned its loss. I'm getting ready to leave NYC but dare not go until I have visited Eulalie and sampled Chip's miracles in the kitchen and Tina's kind and welcoming care at the front of the house. Best wishes for well-deserved success! — Carole O'Keefe on Eulalie is getting closer to opening

Cafe Roma — Susan Robinson on Where in Tribeca?

Agreed that the laws need to be enforced against the customers. There should be public service info, for sure. For example, any tourist center or visitor web site or brochure or tour operator etc. should be required to prominently inform visitors that counterfeit goods are illegal, and that purchasing them fuels organized crime. It's very hard apparently to enforce laws against buyers because it requires proving that buyer consciously knew the goods were counterfeit, which is all too easy to deny. I remember some interviewer asking a buyer on Canal Street whether they knew the goods were counterfeit. The buyer responded, "I thought they were stolen!" (As if that makes it OK) Hence I think the faster approach to clear our streets of this blockage might be to focus on the other violations: obstruction of sidewalk passage; vending without licenses; vending in inappropriate or prohibited areas; etc. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: F.E. Castleberry menswear coming soon?

Yes, early October is what they are hoping for. I will tour it soon and report back! — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Orangetheory opening in third quarter
