Was it leashed?

It’s normally empty like that - they are in the process of selling the building to new management. Same with some other plazas

Do it!!!! For the love of God DO IT!!!!! 😭

Actually the taco place is open and most of that side where Piggyback used to be is open again

For sure but this was a big overhaul and investment that was really supposed to infuse energy and they barely got a full year out of it. Now it's a ghost town

Dood I’m at angry Archies. All the time! I actually work in this building and everything is a lot of the food options around here is expensive 😂

They’ve been trying and failing to make something of that area for at least a decade.

Kind of a strange article.

The urban planner didn't necessarily come up with these, it's a combination of pre-existing proposals.

Also, they are basically a private individual, unfortunately have no impact on these getting built. The one inolving the MTA is extremely unlikely to happen for a bureaucratic reasons. Edit: misread Newark as New York, classic

Right now the only extensions budgeted/officially planned in our region are:

• PATH extension to EWR (AirTrain station)
• HBLR extension up to Englewood

These will probably be finished within 15 years.

After that, the Paterson extension is the most "likely", as well as a proposal floating around to have a light rail between American Dream and Secaucus, possibly extending to the HBLR somewhere. Issues with these is redundancy. NJ Transit to Paterson and NJ Transit Meadowlands line already existing. Redundancy is the same reason a HBLR extension from JC to Newark, even though the old right of way exists, is unlikely. It mirrors PATH too much.

Or just like be open on the weekends when people are taking a nice walk on the waterfront. Or do like Chealsea market and have stuff that's damn good & unique

I think you hit the nail on the head, it's classic copy something successful but put no effort into understanding why or how it got there.

Tbh I didn’t even know it was open looking at it from the street I thought it was still under construction

That's completely asinine, just because there isn't any clear way outside from the WTC PATH station, and it's almost certainly designed that way on purpose.

But anyway, I wouldn't want to get dressed again after exiting the train, I'd really prefer to do that at home. :-)

Wish it was. It’s a ghost town outside of Uber eats orders.

Ah, yes, you have to take multiple elevators or schlep your bike up stairs/escalators to get to street level at WTC, but there’s nothing stopping OP from wearing a backpack and putting their shoes in there once they change into their rollerblades while already on the HRP path.

This place is the epitome of bad timing in covid age.

The entire office building is still empty. You’ll see maybe a dozen people eating in the atrium during lunchtime. Definitely a stark difference to how it used to be.

They were supposed to have tacos open where Left Bank was but I don’t think that ever happened. They also rebuilt the bar where Piggyback was, but they haven’t opened anything there. Sad that it’s all basically a waste of space, they don’t even run the ferries to there anymore.

It's a mirror setup of a typical food court to take advantage of tourists... in a business/residential area expecting repeat traffic.

This kinda thing works when you've got a steady flow of new bodies who will eat there and likely never come back. It's pretty ideal for vacations especially when nobody can agree with what they want.

But for someone who lives around here? There's always a better more affordable option.

Had it been put by the end of the high line it would do well with tourists who finished walking it and want lunch. Or by any museum.

I continue to hope that the place is well patronized by people who don't like me, and that's why I always see it empty.

But I think it's just a mixture of not enough office workers in the building and absolutely no attempt to attract anyone else. I mean, just walking into Harborside feels like trespassing sometimes.

Sorry I meant paved lots!

Ty!

Liberty State Park

LSP?

You can roller skate on gravel???

I usually stick to paved lots or tennis courts

Yes the workflow is inefficient. I even said that in my Google review. There is a girl that just hands people pastries and nothing else. She even looked bored out of her mind 🤣
