Comments of the Week: On Conflict, Food and Returning from Vermont
UWSer says:
How wonderful. Support and compassion for our neighbors is much needed during these difficult times.
UWSider says:
We will be successful in having them removed.
In the end, you will all thank us.
You’re Welcome.
John says:
Thank you for sharing your journey back. I’m so glad what made you love NYC is alive and well. Despite a long and difficult road ahead, we too are staying put. A day in Central Park is magical to me and I hope as we continue to make progress and reopen, we remember those we lost and how to make a better future for NYC.
re: Restaurant Closings: Santa Fe and 8th Hill
UWSMillennial says:
Somebody needs to turn the 8th Hill space into a classic French brasserie, complete with red leather banquets, mercury glass light fixtures, a black and white checkered floor, steak frites and onion soup, and red wine on tap. Please, somebody do this.

EricaC says:
It seems unlikely that a ban on solicitation would stop someone from begging for money for illegal drugs.
re: Reopenings Update: Zabar’s Cafe, Pio Pio, Leopard at Artistes, Billy’s Bakery
AC says:
Good to see and read some positive things going on in our UWS Community. It was getting sad and disappointing reading about empty lots and vacancies. Wishing these three businesses the best and will make a point of supporting them in the coming days. Might take time, but we’ll get through this. 🙂

Drianne says:
It’s incredible to think we all walk on the same streets, me typing this and you reading this. It’s so important we look after each other, and our spaces. This clean up is really showing how contagious kindness can be. THANK YOU 🙂
re: Throwback Thursday: 30 Years of Adventures on the Upper West Side
Nelson says:
Hey neighbor, you sound like a beautiful person. Thanks for your smiles and happy recollections. I hope many more wonderful times are ahead for you & the UWS. ❤️
None were memorable the first time around.
No need to print them again.
Really!
Sheesh, was that really necessary? I’ll bet you’re one of those guys who gets bent out of shape when a bagel shop closes and a donut chain replaces it. 😀
“None were memorable the first time around.
No need to print them again.”
“Sheesh, was that really necessary? I bet you’re…”
Which one of these two statements is actually an overreaction?
New York is- an intense & continuing dialectic on unnecessary criticism (or is it?) coming from every corner…
PS- Thanks for this page, where I saw the link to Marianne Hettinger’s story (“Throwback Thursday: 30 Years of Adventures on the Upper West Side”) for the first time, and clicked on it just a few minutes ago.
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
