A man and woman, and the woman was rather short? Although that isn't much to go on, I wonder if it could be that homeless or near homeless couple that hangs out on Newark all the time, the short beat up woman and the taller guy she always seems to be with while they drink all day on the benches or in front of the vacant building on Barrow and Newark and curse out the cops who drive by and do nothing.

I don't understand. You think that people shouldn't be able to defend themselves against thugs who are out to do us all harm?

Oh right---you're part of that group that believes only criminals should have guns. Makes sense.

the block is not bad at all...yes the blue building across the st is ugly but if that is the reason why you dont want to buy there is stupid. The entire block has been transforming even in the last few months and if I had the money I'd buy in a second. Wait until the world trade center subway hub is done, that place will double in value.

That block isn't that bad. It's probably the best location in the grove st path area in terms of being in the middle of everything (restaurants, bars, stores etc.).

That st will change dramatically in the next 5-10 yrs as they plan to knock down that ugly blue/greyish building across the st and build apts in that parking lot on the corner of Barrow and CC.

I think Rosina will also have a parking garage on the first fl? should be interesting

I wonder if they have the infamous "cabaret license" this city randomly enforces.

What makes you say that ?? Can you provide details on the license requirements ? Finally a venue that supports the folk music circuit and you to find a way to knock it. The have some pretty good acts I hope you at least tried it out it is a sensational place and you have to get an earfull of the accoustics there. If you listen to WFUV 90.7 Fit will give you an insight on the folk music scene in the Nyc FM metroploitan area, including the Brennan.

If you want to get some local salt air get a <$1000 kayak and both our rivers are yours for the taking with no recurring costs assuming you got somewhere to stash it. But this has to be someone spoofing on Schundler.

The state needs to somehow step in and clean out City Hall entirely. Nobody in City Hall gives a rat's ass about the town, or responsible development of the town. I really can't wrap my head around any of this BS.

Simple: request a signature to be signed upon delivery.

new in town?

Far from new. When expecting a package request that the sender require a signed receipt for the delivery. The sender will state whether that can be done or not. If it c an be done and the package is dropped off without one or worse yet stolen. Then immedately go and complain. Also make sure the package is insured !! With this in miond and something occurs you got them by the you know what.

To double check my feelings, to coincide with a trip to one of the Union Square theaters I did a stroll through TJ's on 14th...again
Price comparisons are hard because so much is store brand labelled, but TJ Albacore tuna at $1.99 when Shorprite was selling Chicken of the Sea for $.99, the smallest acorn squash I have ever seen like big lemons for $1.99 each. OY. Honeydews the size of grapefruit for $2.99 when the same week I got a succulent honeydew the size of a bowling ball on Central Aneue for a buck. Preposterous.

So the gentleperson talking about how cheap Trader Joe's prices were by giving his few silly examples was "prevaricating."

The entire vegetable section looked like Shop-Rite's garbage bin...I mean really, any Korean grocer would long ago have thrown the stuff away.

About three buck Chuck (the junk wine)...I fell for it for a trial of every varietal. It MAY have been good once upon a time but it is undrinkable rotgut today. I am a wine connoisseur but anyone who can get this crap down deserves a medal. Plain old cardboard Carlo Rossi Cabernet Sauvignon becomes Chateau Margaux-like compared to the slop sold as the cheapy at Trader Joe's...and it's even cheaper. I don't ask a lot of cheap wine, but I don't like the feeling that it is dissolving fillings out of my teeth.

I asked the clerk how long the checkout would be if I joined the Monday evening line. He said "It moves fast, no more than a half hour." Really, a half hour. He also said things are better on a Tuedsday or Wednesday morning. Could they be worse?

Earlier poster was correct, I have never been in any other Trader Joe's so maybe some are Nirvana, but the one at 14th and Third strikes me as a visit to Hell.
