Bad timing on Danny Meyer’s part
Update March 3, 2014- The Russian invasion of The Ukraine ads to the awkwardness. December 20, 2013- Right as the United States is essentially boycotting Putin’s Olympics in Russia over anti-gay laws, Danny Meyer is entering Moscow. Bloomberg reports, “Meyer is in Moscow for Shake Shack’s local opening tomorrow. The (more…)
Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be actors
March 3, 2014- The Post review of the 2014 Academy Awards was actually pretty informative. They listed the numerous cases of uneducated Hollywood actors botching the English language. It seems that the Tinseltown magic goes away when they have to speak off script. The article states, Continue reading
PS 276 kindergarten waitlist to be worse this year
March 1, 2014- By Steven E. Greer, MD
A local blog reports, “The announcement followed reports at the meeting by several Downtown school principals that kindergarten registration was higher this year than last, foretelling even longer wait lists at those schools, though the numbers are far from final.

How Scorsese’s editing ruined Wolf of Wall Street
Update January 8, 2014- CBS produced a segment today that echoes my review, below. Notably, CBS reasserts my notion that Hollywood was conned by Mr. Belfort. You can view the CBS story here.
January 5, 2014- By Steven E. Greer (a Series 7 certified movie critic) I eagerly watched The Wolf of Wall Street, despite the bad word of mouth and bad movie reviews in most newspapers. The Charlie Rose interview of Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese convinced me that both artists had put their best efforts into the film, and had made a serious epic worthy of a rare Steve Greer theater sitting.
I was willing to endure the three hours that most had said was excessive. However, Continue reading

Hollywood set to oppose Hillary Clinton again
January 25, 2014- By Steven E. Greer, MD
In 2007, Hollywood powerbroker David Geffen gave an interview to the New York Time’s Maureen Dowd, which could have been the deciding factor that propelled Barack Obama into the White House. At the time, Hillary Clinton was the sure thing to become the Democratic nominee. Barack Obama was an obscure senator.
In the article, Mr. Geffen threw Hillary under the bus, saying, “Everybody in politics lies, but (the Clintons) do it with such ease, it’s troubling.”, and, ““Obama is inspirational, and he’s not from the Bush royal family or the Clinton royal family. Americans are dying every day in Iraq. And I’m tired of hearing James Carville on television.”.
Well, what is now be the worst nightmare for Mr. Geffen and his other Hollywood elite is the thought of Hillary Clinton finally claiming her rightful thrown in the Oval Office, and exerting her full vindictive powers of revenge against Mr. Geffen et al. So, Hollywood is already preparing for a war. Continue reading

Letter: We need developments to save the Seaport
February 26, 2014- By Battery Park Dad
While I applaud the effort to ensure that the community around the Seaport has a voice via the Seaport Task Force, I have to question the naiveté of the community leaders opposed to developing the Seaport. NYC is a tough place to get big projects done. The idea of driving a community effort sounds great, but I fear that it will fail, and the Seaport continue to decay.
Contractors cost money and money demands a return Continue reading

Letter: Sick and tired of the unending helicopter noise
January 4, 2014- By Delia von Neuschatz
Our elected officials have accomplished absolutely zero in mitigating the tourist helicopter issue since air tours moved to the Downtown Manhattan Heliport in 2008 after they were banned from using the East 34th Street and West 30th Street heliports. The time for letters to the FAA and noise studies and the like is over. NJ politicians met with the FAA about this in September and absolutely nothing has been accomplished. It is now time for action.
These unnecessary helicopter sightseeing tours should be phased out completely beginning with Continue reading

Gale Brewer sends strong message that her administration will be different
February 26, 2014- By Steven E. Greer
At the February 25th CB1 meeting, elected officials made a rare appearance to discuss their new Seaport Task Force. Prior to the Fall 2013 elections, under the leadership of City Council’s Margaret Chin, Scott Stringer, State Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, and billionaire Mayor Mike Bloomberg, the Howard Hughes Corporation was making progress at developing a large commercial and residential development in the ghost town called the Seaport, by Pier 17. Many in the community had felt that Howard Hughes was hoodwinking them and not telling them the true story about some of the plans.
Now, things have changed after the election of Gale Brewer as the new Manhattan Borough President. Continue reading
