April 1, 2014- The local advertising flier called The Broadsheet (BS), and its staff of amateur writers, has done it again. On April Fool’s Day, they passed off a blatantly sponsored infomercial for Bob Townley’s Manhattan Youth as a true news story.
Nowhere does the article mention that Manhattan Youth sponsored the story. Manhattan Youth is one of the largest sources of revenue for Robert Simko’s BS. Continue reading

Could you please Continue reading

Congressman Nadler updated the community today during a very informal meet-and-greet in front of Gateway Plaza. He seems to have made an earnest effort to speak to the U.S. Coast Guard about the laws now suddenly enforced that force the ferry boats to honk three times before they dock, and then again when they depart, from the Vesey Street slip. Unfortunately, his meetings have resulted in no progress, to make a long story short. Continue reading
March 29, 2014- In a smart move by Governor Cuomo, the state reached a deal with car dealerships to allow Tesla to keep its existing showrooms, and ad more. The controversy is over Tesla’s direct sales program that threatens the middleman business model of traditional car dealerships. Continue reading
March 28, 2014- Crain’s reports, “The Drug Enforcement Agency’s New York Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Strike Force—an elite, joint federal, state and local group—will take one acre of space in lower Manhattan along the Hudson River. The feds will pick up the tab.” Continue reading

Viewers have reported to BP.TV that they sent letters to the editor of the Broadsheet (BS), and also requested the BS to alert the community, about the pending 4:00 AM liquor license for Pier A. Their communications were ignored by the normally responsive BS.

Ridley Scott is not the main reason that The Counselor is one of the worst movies made in 2013. The casting directors, Nina Gold and Avy Kaufman (a Tribecan), are to blame.
Once again, Continue reading

The Morton’s steak house near the 9/11 Memorial invited me to stop by and do the usual photo review. We make genuine new articles, not infomercials, and are never censored or told what to write. We are not paid by the restaurants.
The New York Morton’s staff seemed nice enough, but then the corporate suits from Texas showed up by surprise. The local managers mentioned to the Landry’s people (owners of Morton’s) our pending visit, and received pushback.
The local media person then sent this ill-advised email, Continue reading
