OK Shitheadof76, I looked up anechoic foam and it has convinced me that you are a bigger asshole than I originally thought.

The noise is coming from out in the street, not up through the building. Most of the apartments above the restaurant do not have double paned windows. I know because a friend of mine who lives in the pisser building told me so. He said he wasn't the guy who pissed down on them, but probably because he lives on the other side of the building. Keep the patrons inside and then the noise will not travel as much up and into the people that live above it. I have never used anechoic foam in my life. It sounds carcinogenic. The best way is to make two separate barriers divided by sound board which kind of looks like fuzzy wood paneling. But then again the sound will transmit through the floor, which could be another problem unless the floor is masonry construction. Are you an architect Spirit?

Soundproofing also makes your apartment cheaper to heat if you pay for utilities. You're thinking of insulation, not soundproofing. They're not the same thing. Stuff all the fiberglass or cellulose you want into the walls and it will barely affect sound transmission. It takes completely different techniques to add acoustic isolation, like staggered studs, anechoic foam or resilient channel.

Unfortunately, Delicatessen's walls are all windows which they like to leave open, especially on busy nights. You CAN hear the crowd from Mott & Prince and they're on Prince & Lafayette.

I've always thought restaurants and bars should offer their neighbors assistance with soundproofing their apartments. Sound proofing does help if yu have windows. Also, if you're willing to sound proof your neighbors, then just double sound proof the club.

I walk by there all the time. I can sympathize with the people who live on that block, the crowd that eats there are extraordinarily douchey.

I have to really hope that you can't be clueless enough to have no idea why they would dust a safe for prints.

I guess finger print dusting is part of the usual cleaning required by the health code. "an officer cryptically replied, "It should be pretty obvious." Typical cop reply. Jack Webb did it better and with more emotion.

Finger print dusting and no body bag? Sounds like fraud.

The neighborhood could use a good quality delicatessen. Lower case d.

>"Just standard cleaning. You know, keeping it up to health code." Is it just me, or does that sound like they are cleaning up dead bodies?
