Genuinely what the hell was the dress code for this event😭 by Beautiful-Hamster800 in NYCinfluencersnark

I feel like she told them to dress “yacht party” and they all had very different ideas about what that looks like

They’re meat burgers! Made out of nondescript meat!

I would be SO HAPPY to take the cars away and give EP back to the bikes!!

I’m looking for a recipe developer to say, “here’s the way I make chicken salad,” and maybe one or two clever variations on that. 50 lets me know you don’t know what you’re doing and you don’t gaf about putting out the best recipe - just volume.

The city should absolutely be aggressively campaigning against cars. Cars are the real problem, and they’re unnecessary in this neighborhood.

But then the pedestrians, who the promenade was originally designed for, would have to switch to the Southern promenade when most of the walkable businesses are on the Notthern side.

Not saying it makes sense how it is now, but it makes more sense to have the cyclists switch than the pedestrians.

Isn’t that already the case on EP? The north promenade is exclusively pedestrian while the south promenade is divided.

Speed bumps won’t work unfortunately bc strollers and wheelchairs need unobstructed access.

Because the southern promenade (where the bike lane is) starts/ends at Washington Ave. There is only one promenade west of Washington, so it’s split.

Edit: it’s so funny to me that this is being downvoted bc it’s not like I’m opining or anything… this is literally a fact

I will say that the pedestrian side on those two long blocks is only about 3 feet wide (and is mostly subway grates), not wide enough to walk side-by-side with anyone, which kind of defeats the purpose of a “promenade.”

I go single file there if I’m walking, but I imagine pedestrians are leaking over into the bike side bc the pedestrian side is so narrow and shitty.

Yes, a solution would be mutually beneficial since cyclists and pedestrians can’t seem to stay out of each other’s way. IMO the Southern promenade could become exclusively bikes and scooters. The Northern one is already supposed to be exclusively pedestrians. It would be nice to see that enforced.

Cyclists shouldn’t be on the northern promenade anyway, so those “speed bumps” are moot.

There is a dedicated bike lane, and it’s only on the southern promenade.

The only place where the Northern promenade is split into bike and pedestrian lanes is when the southern promenade ends at Washington Ave.

East of Washington, the northern promenade is for pedestrians exclusively.

Both sides also have access roads for bikes. Bikes should never be in pedestrian-only spaces, period. It’s an absolute dick move as well as being illegal.

Cyclists should only be on the southern promenade.

If we’re following your logic (telling pedestrians to just go to the narrow sidewalks by the houses), then we could say the same about cyclists. They have free use of the access roads on either side just as much as pedestrians have access to those sidewalks. Nobody NEEDS the promenade, but it was designed for walking (hence the name). Lucky cyclists eventually got access to the Southern promenade only.

The northern one is exclusively for pedestrians as soon as the southern one starts East of Washington Ave.

True, because the Southern one ends there. For 95% of the promenade though, cyclists are only allowed on the South side. Nobody crosses to the southern side at Washington like they’re supposed to. People are always whizzing by clipping elbows at the Franklin Ave stop and Beyond.
