Grades for Street Food

Written by admin on April 16, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Re: “‘F’ For Failing Falafel?” (April 1): and what about the underlying flaws with the Department of Health’s rating methodology, Councilman Garodnick? The standards by which the department grades street carts are completely arbitrary and oftentimes have nothing to with actual health violations. Unfortunately, given the city’s budget deficit, the role of

Park Vending Proposal

Written by admin on April 16, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: It doesn’t appear to me that the effort to enhance the view and flow in parks impinges on the rights of the artist (“Artists Paint Bad Picture of Proposed Park Rules,” April 8). It is not an effort to eliminate them from the park, but rather to organize them into areas that

For the Dogs

Written by admin on April 7, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Re: “Behold the Humble Mutt” (Susan Braudy’s Diary, April 1), there is much to love about mixed breed dogs, but nothing is black and white like a Dalmatian’s spots. Beauty in dog breeding is more than skin deep. I am neither a breeder nor a show person. I chose my purebred from

Not a Solution For P.S. 163

Written by admin on April 7, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: “Nursing Home Help For Crowded School” (April 1) raises disturbing questions about a misguided approach to solving overcrowding at P.S. 163, on West 97th Street. The article states that P.S. 163 and Jewish Home Lifecare are discussing the construction of a sheltered walkway between P.S. 163 and a new Bloomingdale Library branch,

Business Not Booming

Written by admin on March 31, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Re: “Second Annual Business Survey Shows Signs of Life on West Side” (March 11), I am sure the Spirit was only trying to sound an optimistic note. But even a cursory glance at the two maps shows that, despite the optimistic claims of their respective leaders, the Columbus Avenue BID and the

Hostel Reaction

Written by admin on March 31, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: As a concerned neighbor on the 107th Street block, I want to thank you for your article on the homeless shelter proposed for 237 W. 107th St. It is of great concern to all of us in the neighborhood who have spent many years and long hours to make it the pleasant

Dewing Responds To McCourt Column

Written by admin on March 24, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Whatever media can do to “unmask alcoholism,” as Malachy McCourt does in his “Alcoholism Unmasked” column (March 4) is most welcome. But, hey, don’t be anonymous in accusing “certain columnists in this paper” of saying it’s a matter of willpower, a character defect, [something that shows the need for] responsible drinking lessons,

Pass the Moo Shoo

Written by admin on March 18, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Re: “Where Has All the Moo Shoo Gone?” (Feb. 25)—terrific article! I had a fabulous old school Cantonese feast at Jing Fong Restaurant at 20 Elizabeth St. in Chinatown the other night, at the Asian Jade Society’s annual dinner dance. I hadn’t had that kind of old-school comfort food in such huge

Insulting Columnist

Written by admin on March 4, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

One sometimes wonders why a paper would have one of its writers either knowingly or inadvertently insult the intelligence of readers. In the Feb. 4 column by Josh Perilo—the self described “Penniless Epicure”—we are told, “I know wine. There’s little else I truly have any depth of knowledge in.” His knowledge of wine may be
