Hey A.V., question about Moondog Industries (node 5812445812) -- have you been here? I just passed by and there's no sign of this shop. There's not even a unit 1D visbile, not as a storefront or even on the tennant's list for the 423 Atlantic residential entrance.

Hi Timothy -- regarding the Starbucks at node 5542976159, I think it's short-sighted to blindly tag every Starbucks as cuisine=coffee_shop, overriding local survey. The type of foods available at various incarnations of Starbucks are quite variable. In particular: they don't all serve sandwiches, but this one does.

(Though IMO coffee and tea don't belong in the cuisine tag -- we have drink:coffee and drink:tea for those.)

Thanks, J

Dang you're fast!

Hi ethylisocyanat, you tagged this way with "fixme=so wrong" -- it's been modified a lot but since nobody knows exactly what you meant, that fixme hasn't been removed.

So, is it still "so wrong"? If so, can you be more specific?

thanks, jmapb

Hi, what's up with this way:

(Noticed it on keepright)
thanks, jmb

Hi and welcome to OSM! Thanks for your contributions.

I took a look at this changeset since you requested review. I'm not sure about adding the oneway=yes tag to this section of Newark Ave:
osm.org/way/554370581

I understand that in the normal flow of traffic there would be no reason for cars to be heading west on this section -- since Erie Street is oneway and cars will not normally be heading west from the pedestrian zone. But is it actually *signed* oneway? If not, generally better not to tag it oneway.

I could imagine a taxi dropping someone off at Fabco Shoes, or a food delivery truck leaving the pedestrian zone (if there are hours when it's open to delivery traffic.) Or a bike heading west, if bikes are permitted here. In these cases, would they be legally required to take Erie Street, or could they go west on Newark Ave?

There's not a lot of recent imagery so I can't be sure. But note the pedestrian crossing sign in the picture below -- if there's no possibility of westbound traffic on this segment, it doesn't make any sense to have that sign pointed that direction.

(Circled in red, you can only see the back of the sign.)

Ok yer gone

Are you sure about this location? Based on the address it seems it should be at the corner of 5th Ave & 47th.

Hi dumisanisny, two questions: 1) Is this a doctor's office? 2) Are you aware that the website you posted doesn't work?

Hello again -- because this seems invalid and you haven't written back I'm inclined to revert this change soon if I don't hear back from you.
Thanks, j

Here's the hours sign of Mile End on Hoyt Street, as surveyed last November and again last night:

I've already changed these hours back. Please don't assume that info from amenity websites is more accurate than info gathered from survey -- it usually isn't, unless the survey is years old. (If there's a discrepancy, you could add a fixme to prompt a fresh survey.)

Thanks, Jason

Hi goatmilk, this appears to be a residential building with no storefront. The website gives an address in California and there's no address listed on the Facebook page.

No problem, happy mapping and enjoy the Japanese food. (Did you know that "tempura" is a loan word from Portuguese? I just learned that.)

Hi scai, can you consider breaking these sorts of changesets into smaller zones? Thanks.

Gotcha, thanks.

Is this some sort of underground club? Nothing visible at this address except a notice that the previous tenant (Retrofret) has moved.

You have to choose between bar and cafe, unless it really actually is two different businesses operating out the same premises. If it looks and feels more like a bar, call it a bar. But there's no reason a bar can't serve coffee, and no reason a cafe can't serve booze.

You can indicate that coffee-shop-style food (pastries and the like) is available by tagging "cuisine=coffee_shop".

You can indicate that coffee is available by tagging "drink:coffee=yes" (and "drink:espresso=yes" for espresso and espresso-based drinks.) Other common drink tags are drink:tea, drink:wine, drink:liquor, and drink:beer.

And you can always add a "description" tag for any information that doesn't fit in the standard tagging schemes. It's a freeform text field. In this case you might add something like "description=cocktail bar with coffee shop service in the mornings", or something like that.
