  • Not surprised the enrollment numbers are down. We always supported public schools and never thought we would send our children to a private school, but we heard from our friends whose children didn't get into their top choices and some who didn't get into ANY of their choices. Some families moved out of NYC, but we jumped to a private school. Financially this was NOT an easy decision to make for our family! Instead of doing the hard work to increase the number of great schools in NYC, DOE is just opening the doors to already-great schools to more children to fight for the limited number of seats. It feels like instead baking more bread to feed the hungry children, DOE is baking the same amount and throwing the limited number of loafs and all kids into a deep pit for our children to fight it out. — public school supporter on Welcome back, kids!

  • Ours on 122 duane gets hit all the time. Caught post office management in a lie twice. Keep in mind we r paying customers ans regardless of the mail getting stolen packages are stolen daily on our bldg. More than happy to talk to u guys as the supervisors came to my bldg and met with me last week. The bs lies to their customers is not acceptable. Bring our packages up to our apts.

  • Certainly if you already read it there is no reason to read it again and I would therefore assume that you would not click on the link. That is true with all of these links. If you did not read it before, then you might be interested. — Tribeca Citizen on In the News: Gyms opening new locations

  • Nope! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

  • I suggest taking the metro to the yonkers station and catching the #6 bus ( in front of station to the right , metro card or exact change 2.75 or Cab service ) it drops you off in front of St. johns hospital and you can walk back up to the garden ... You can checkout and eat at the The yonkers waterfront ( behind the metro station ) prior to going to the garden .. yonkers brewery is directly across from the park with the Ella Fitzgerald Statue grab a slice from the pizzeria next door to the Brewery Make it a full Day to So you can enjoy the Sights and Sounds ( live music Friday at the waterfront) of Yonkers — LeeSah Lee on Field Trip: Untermyer Gardens

  • I have been there for events- like films, show openings, etc. (pre Covid), and no one said anything when I took photos. They have a mailing list for events- https://www1.nyc.gov/site/records/about/events-mailing-list.page. Have to go through airport style security to get in. — Robert Ripps on Two ways to get inside 31 Chambers – virtually

  • Do I call 311 on the Amazon delivery man who I asked very kindly to stop urinating on the sidewalk on Reade Street/Greenwich in the middle of the afternoon? And again today. — John on Illegal vendors on Broadway have multiplied

  • Seems like all I get in the mail anymore are bills, catalogs and junk mail. The thieves can have it all. But on a serious note, with technology being what it is today, it would seem the USPS could come up with something more secure than physical keys. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Thefts of lockboxes are the latest petty crime epidemic

  • You could contact Margaret Chin's office or you might try Jumaane Williams, the public advocate, though I am not sure which side of this issue he would be on. https://www.pubadvocate.nyc.gov/services/#constituentservices — Tribeca Citizen on Illegal vendors on Broadway have multiplied

  • Good points. I'm all for contacting the powers that be directly. Which local reps should we be contacting (in addition to 311 complaints)? — Marcus on Illegal vendors on Broadway have multiplied

  • Make your voices heard. Maybe if enough people register their concerns, change will happen (although probably not until we have a new mayor). Here's the DCWP (Department of Consumer and Worker Protection) to "File a Consumer Complaint" https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dca/consumers/file-complaint.page You either have to create an account and fill out a form, or go through 311 (which can be anonymous). If you want to complain via 311, here's the direct link: https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-02152 If you want to report specifically about counterfeiting, the page says to call 311 instead of doing the online form: https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01414 You can still be anonymous in a 311 call, I believe. — Marcus on Illegal vendors on Broadway have multiplied

  • Enforcement has clearly dropped off. Even two years ago, the vendors existed but did not take up as much sidewalk space. All could be solved by arresting a nice sweet lady from the midwest who just wanted a fake gucci. Rather than calling in complaints to 311--which people should do, what are our local representatives doing about this and congestion pricing carve-outs? Are they just waiting around for residents to sign petitions and stage sit ins? The outer boroughs are organized on this front which is why congestion pricing has been in limbo for all these years. — cami on Illegal vendors on Broadway have multiplied

  • Quality of life is aggressively approaching new lows. Those nostalgic for the "gritty" NYC of days of olde should rejoice. — Marcus on Illegal vendors on Broadway have multiplied
