Your chance to run a cafe and kiosk in Union Square

To be honest, we've lost track of exactly what was happening with the restaurant opening at the north side of Union Square Park in the retooled pavilion ... After lawsuits and squabbling and stuff, City Farm Cafe was supposed to open here this spring ... But, per the Times, that group withdrew from the deal last fall...

Yesterday, we noticed the following public notice in the Post...


It's a 15-year lease... with "compensation to the city" starting at $300,000 in Year 1, escalating to $453,777 by Year 15... Given how slow this whole process has been, a restaurant should be in place here in 15 years...

Reading the public-notice section of The Post is journalistic dedication!

And, twenty-five grand per month is a LOT for a kiosk!
