Here's one, at least, that just opened this week: Jungle On Mars, 88 West Broadway Sales agent for property: Andrew Stern (Newmark), 212.351.9353 Property owners: B. JAFFE REAL ESTATE CO., L.P. — Marc on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s on its way

Tribeca resident here, also alarmed at the proliferation of these lazy shops, which take business away from the hard-working people who went through the difficult, legal process of applying for a cannabis sales permit. You can report them here: https://cannabis.ny.gov/report-an-incident. I've reported Jungle on Mars twice already. I'm also trying to contact the landlord or sales agent to complain. Newmarket Retail has a listing for the space and the contact there is Andrew Stern at 212.351.9353. The phone for B. Jaffe Real Estate appears to have been shut off but apparently their office is on Warren Street. A knock on the door and friendly but stern statement against this shop might be helpful. — Marc on Another two illegal smoke shops come to the neighborhood

I am afraid this congestion pricing will be the final nail on the coffin for our beloved Manhattan Chinatown. The residents there are mostly low income and elderly. The goods and services will be jacked up with congestion pricing. This is just another way for government to screw over a marginalized community. First is the mega jail and now it's congestion pricing. Welcome to America! — Chinatown on In the News: Suits against congestion pricing

Best of Luck in your Future Andrew you are the best and deserve the best. Thank you and your Dad for all great memories.

Good point about the prison. I hope they figured that into their salaries. — JJB on In the News: Suits against congestion pricing

I was told that in order to do something about this we must come together as a community and complain. Complain during one of the community board meetings (quality of life one or the monthly safety meeting conducted by the 1st prescient). Closed mouths don’t get feed so the more you complain the better we have leverage. Complaining on social platforms just won’t do. I remember not being taken seriously when they started to pop up… now see. They are popping all over. Wait until this area because crime riden when these places start attracting thieves and those that rather smoke in the block of our neighborhoods than their homes. — Sandra on Another two illegal smoke shops come to the neighborhood

To facilitate the reporting of the illegal cannabis shops, does somebody have a handy list with names and addresses of all the ones that have opened up in the neighborhood? — AJ on Seen & Heard: Zucker’s on its way

Have not heard of any exemptions. Personally I am OK with firefighters - who protect me - driving in. On the other hand, am not OK with all the Ubers used by affluent residents. BTW the new Manhattan prison will likely mean more vehicles in that area as many Corrections staff live far away, not accessible by public transportation. — lisa on In the News: Suits against congestion pricing

You are such a liar . They alway aware of everything that is not right. And I believe you are demonizing this property. They are doing a great job keeping the area safe. They are making sure their property is safe . We already know who you are . We’ve seen you enter the building and yell at the nice security guard and blow an air horn on her face . You are not a honest person nor a nice one. As you see everyone is happy they are doing this in which the areas has gone to hell with the homeless causing a non safe environment. I say that the staff is doing an amazing job. Even the NYPD has said that it’s better to use the loud speaker than to confront these mentally Ill individuals. — Resident of 6 courtland alley on Sidewalk loudspeaker at 376 Broadway is tormenting neighbors

malcom, A 50 story luxury residential building does not help create affordable housing - it snowballs gentrification. Luxury buildings also generate vehicles - delivery, service, Uber. And the location by the Lincoln Tunnel will only add to congestion and dangerous streets. — lisa on In the News: Suits against congestion pricing

Wow the comments show a real lack of empathy. So glad you all miss other incarnations but a business in real time just closed. The rents are untenable and now there are a bunch of workers vulnerable and out of work. Your opinions mean absolutely nothing except to you. Yuck. Yuck and triple yuck. — TG on Patisserie Chanson & Chanson Le Salon have closed

My issue with the place was the bright lights on the inside. Never struck me as a cozy place to have dinner. Every time I walked by I wondered why every light in the restaurant was on. — KJP on Patisserie Chanson & Chanson Le Salon have closed

We have called the building to ask them to turn it down nicely and they have yelled at us through the loud speaker and told us to "get a life" and "we will never stop". It's hard to have a life when you're being woken up by amplified shouting at all hours. Plus it's against the NYC Noise Code Sec. 24-218 (3), which means it's against the law. It doesn't need to be loud enough to be heard clearly inside surrounding buildings. Additionally, announcements such as people sitting "incorrectly" or on the sidewalk are completely unnecessary. I agree that there are times that it is necessary, but those often don't get addressed, in the past few weeks I've watched someone steal a bike, a man pleasure himself, and a woman defecate. So please pick your battles and please turn it down to a volume that is within the margins of the law. — Citizen on Sidewalk loudspeaker at 376 Broadway is tormenting neighbors

Do we know if congestion pricing will exempt all the government workers, police, firemen, etc. that drive downtown (and park illegally)? I haven't seen anything about it. I'm assuming they are, because otherwise I think we would hear be hearing from them. — JJB on In the News: Suits against congestion pricing

The Walker Hotel Bar is a bad neighbor. They circumvented Community Board 1 to get music & later hours. They ignored neighbors’ complaints until the police were brought in. Patrick’s comment “The city that never sleeps”, was a known risk going in” clearly demonstrates the hotel’s arrogance towards their neighbors. — B. on Walker Hotel roof bar tormenting neighbors

I see, so property damage is the answer. Very nice... — Richard on Sidewalk loudspeaker at 376 Broadway is tormenting neighbors

There are at least two sides to this story, and it only accounts for one standpoint. I happen to live in the building, and it's more complicated that this article makes it seem. The PA system was installed as a way to discourage after hours loitering by unsheltered folks, drug dealers, people who opt to have sex, skateboard off the platform, urinate, or defecate in the gazebo. The building staff have to clean up after those folks. There have been instances where speaking the people who were misusing the public space was met with violence. The measures taken to limit these incidences were improved lighting, so the illegal activity could be documented for police and shared with the local shelter, and the public address system which provided the ability to confront the illegal activity in a way that would avoid violence. The gazebo area IS a public space, and most of the time it is used appropriately; however, it access to the space does routinely get abused. The police are not responsive to requests to monitor illegal activity there, and the shelter takes zero responsibility for anyone who is not inside their facilities. If the writer, or any of the other commenters on this thread would like to work with the building management, the condo board, or the building community to address all sides of the issues, you are welcome to do so. I am certainly wiling to reference this article to ask if there is a way to lower the volume level. But just painting 376 Broadway as the bad guy in this layered situation is simplistic and not particularly constructive. — Richard on Sidewalk loudspeaker at 376 Broadway is tormenting neighbors

"Congestion" pricing should only be in effect during rush hour travel times. Why is this planned as a 24/7 measure? It should not be called congestion pricing when it will not be operating at peak traffic rush hours only. Call it what it really is- a 24/7 tax for drivers entering or leaving the city (who already pay a fee to enter/leave the city) to support the mismanaged MTA. — k on In the News: Suits against congestion pricing

Really not sorry to see them go. The second ugliest outside space with Zona Tribeca having the number one spot. The fan blowing onto the street was crazy and the fact that they put their restaurant tables under/near it was clueless. — K on Patisserie Chanson & Chanson Le Salon have closed
