John on 1 Liberty Plaza | Zuccotti Park:
Too many protestors dirtying the park daily in the afternoon. Can’t enjoy lunch time at the park anymore after a long day of work because these protestors take it over every day as if it was a homeless encampment.
Anne Counsell on 590 Madison Avenue:
I love this atrium.The important day I had an interview on the higher floor loved the coffee , and art.It should have some of my art .Anne
Gary Greyson on 1535 Broadway | Marriott Marquis:
What is going on here? There are no signs anywhere? Does anyone know if this is a public space any more? It seems they have privatized the entire thing.
A.L on 118 West 57th Street | Le Parker Meridien:
I asked the bartender what part was public space and he was very cagey with his response. It seems like it’s all public space but they put menus on all the tables to deter anyone from sitting there. They want to make people, that aren’t eating or drinking there, feel uncomfortable.
Kim K. on 725 Fifth Avenue / Trump Tower:
Twice I was at Trump Tower after 7:30 pm on a Saturday recently (Dec. 2nd 2023 and January 13th 2024). On both occasions, the doors that connect Trump Tower to the atrium at 590 Madison Ave. were not accessible (the doors were essentially "barred"). To get from the atrium at 590 Madison Ave. (and back again), I had to leave the 590 Atrium, go outside, and walk around Trump Tower to enter it from Fifth Avenue! I encountered another problem on Feb. 4th 2024. Namely, that I was kicked out of the bathroom of Trump Tower (on the lowest floor - near the Trump Store) at approximately 9:35 pm. I was under the impression that the POPS' bathroom was supposed to be open until 10 pm!
