Best accessed by car, it seems. I've passed some shady characters, even during the day, and the side streets from Broadway are pretty deserted. I live right in the neighborhood and would go to these places more often if they were more accesible. It’s hardly a welcoming trip to get down there, especially at night.

Though it has been for the most part "cleared out" it's still a bit sketchy at night. Same for the steps near Bradhurst that lead up to 155th St. No matter what neighborhood, some places are just naturally lend themselves to be a trap if anything goes down.

I remember when the stairs across the street that run up to Riverside driver were called the "crack stairs". I'm guessing the campsite of 10-15 homeless people who lived under riverside drive at 135 / 12th got run out. Good lord.

It does look great. Also, they've painted the name on the door and I guess they changed it to Talay. You can see they are hiring for staff. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fbh/684615759.html I just passed it this morning. It does look great.

Halrem piers will open soon and I think those restaurants will become a destination for bike and rollerblading visitors from downtown when traveling up the park.
