You can also get Papyrus cards and wrap on Amazon and also at Duane Reade and other retailers that sell cards. With the Papyrus strategy of making their products available just about anywhere, they eliminated the need for their own stores. And the COO cites ‘current challenges of the retail industry.' Duh. — PeterD on All Papyrus stores are closing this month

Beef and Broccoli? Who orders that?That is one of the worst dishes to order for "Chinese Take Out" which seems like its own genre. I didn't know this restaurant even existed, but the menu looks great. I wish her all the luck! — cami on Today’s Tomorrow is a Chubby Princess

I am so hopeful that this happens. This area is a blight on NYC. Everyday, I am accosted by dozens of counterfeit goods sellers on either side of Broadway, as well as drug dealers. It's a beautiful building and I'd love to see it occupied to its full potential. — B'way Resident on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?

Very exciting!! So much has changed over the past 2 years on Canal, between the art pop ups, fashion shows and the Guild.. Canal has been looking better and better... This corner is the anchor of Canal and if they pull off this project then Canal will turn the corner! (But im skeptical given how long weve been hearing about this market).. who knows! — Ethan B on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?

You can still get some Papyrus product at the Barnes & Noble Tribeca location. They have a great selection of greeting cards and gift wrap. — RP on All Papyrus stores are closing this month

That's implied in the issuance of the revocable consent to the restaurateur. That said, I understand Title 6 RCNY 2-44 was amended in 2019 to add: "(d) Whenever a petitioner submits a petition to operate an enclosed sidewalk cafe for which a consent issued to another person had lapsed or was terminated, the commissioner may authorize such petitioner to operate the existing sidewalk cafe at such premises pending the approval of consent for operating such cafe provided that the structure and the plans for the cafe are the same as the cafe for which a consent to operate a sidewalk cafe had previously been granted, and provided further that the petitioner has acquired his or her interest in the restaurant to be operated at such premises from the former holder of the consent in an arm's length transaction as specified in section 20-227.1(f) in the administrative code of the City of New York." It's unclear whether this applies strictly to transfers or whether it is interpreted also to apply to new rentals of vacant restaurant spaces formerly so used. — James on A Summer Day Cafe closed?

Bold and ambitious...Sounds intriguing. Can it succeed at this troubled corner? I wish them well and would certainly be happy to have more grocery options...By "general goods" does that mean some kind of department store? — Marcus on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?

During my 14 years on CB4, it was my understanding -- and I tried digging for this rule to confirm but could not find it -- that just like sidewalk cafes, enclosed sidewalk cafes are not attached to the building or the landlord but rather the permittee. Once a business moves on, the sidewalk cafe must come down and the new owner has to apply for one. — Tribeca Citizen on A Summer Day Cafe closed?

This guy doesn't have a clue about what do with this space so here's an idea for him: Open a neighborhood luncheonette. Super Linda now this whatever. You don't have a clue dude. — Bar Rescue on A Summer Day Cafe closed?

Haven't seen Russell in months, maybe even since the summer. — JC on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park

"Pretentious Trendy Generator app" That's perfect! God save us! — Phyllis Ruffer on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?

As JC says, her name is Audra. She said she was from Florida. I did call 311, who actually passed the call over to 911. When I asked about her at the 1st precinct, I was was told she regularly was approached and refused any assistance. — Phyllis Ruffer on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park

It's like that Chinese restaurant "66"-located just a couple of blocks from Chinatown--that Vongerichten opened and closed years ago. — James on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?

Was this conceived by The Pretentious Trendy Generator app? My god--what even does half of this mean in real life? — cami on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?

If you going to walk over to B'way & Canal walk the extra couple of blocks to DiPalo's on Mulberry at Mott. DiPalo's is the real deal. — V. Stewart on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?

So the folks in Robert Stern's luxury building could look down their noses at the Woolworth. — George Bacon on Loft Peeping: The Woolworth Building’s pavilions

Having just participated again in HOPE 2020, counting the homeless, it is a very educational, enlightening, and rewarding experience. Each team that counts a designated area has a professional team leader with them. I have learned from them over the years that as hard as it is, please do not give them food, money, etc. (I have been guilty) but instead call 311 so that a professional can engage with them. The goal is to get them off the streets and into the system that can aid them. And we realize mental illness is a very large contributing factor. As my team leader told me on Monday, there is a story and that is what they try to uncover. As far as what we neighbors can do, be kind to them but call 311. And btw, has anybody seen Russell? We are worried about him. — Carla Bauer on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park

"A spokesperson for [Department of Consumer Affairs] told us that [...] 'after a restaurant closes, DCA allows its enclosed cafe to remain for a period of time to allow for its transition to a new owner. If the location remains unoccupied after that period, the landlord would be responsible for removing it.'

Good riddance. A truly offensive-looking place (I never went in) — George Bacon on Razzledazzle Barbershop has closed

Are such as enclosed sidewalk extensions "grandfathered" forever? Or is there a cut-off point after x-number of tenants or years? Anyway, bring back the Delphi! That corner has been a jinx ever since they left . . . — George Bacon on A Summer Day Cafe closed?

Because they had the legal right to build that tall? Or is that no longer relevant? — James on Loft Peeping: The Woolworth Building’s pavilions

It's - You're an a--- (comma) Jim! — Jim Smithers on UPDATE: A new kind of “Cocoon” coming to Best Market space

i am not a doctor nor do i attempt to portray one, but mental illness is the "elephant in the room" until we -i mean society- have some kind of program to treat the mental illness that most often accompanies homelessness, we are just putting bandages on wounds — MADELINE LANCIANI on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park

Why oh why did the city allow the Four Seasons to tower over the Woolworth? Tragically adding to the ever-splintering decline of the Manhattan skyline. — TG on Loft Peeping: The Woolworth Building’s pavilions

Been watching. Mention in the Times; messaged the guy on LinkedIn; his PR rep got back and sent the info and rendering. — Tribeca Citizen on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?
