From the EV Grieve in-box:
Will you be live blogging the NYC marathon Sunday?
Susan Stetzer, Board 3's district manager, said that despite the recent action, the club was up and running this past weekend.
"People that live in the area were celebrating the news, and by Sunday night they were complaining to the community board," she said.
The S.L.A. only has the power to confiscate liquor licenses and can't actually close the location. According to Stetzer, police at the East Village's Ninth Precinct had not been contacted about the ruling or asked to take any action.
"I must say, I'm a little frustrated," she added, recalling that after Le Souk's first cancellation, the club continued to operate for eight months. "It is really difficult to get any information on what the S.L.A. is doing about this."
Don’t be alarmed if you see low-flying helicopters around Manhattan.
New York City officials say they’re being used for a movie.
They’ll be around the city between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.
The locations include midtown, Wall Street, and the George Washington, Manhattan and Verrazano bridges.
INCOME PRODUCER WITH OWNER'S TRIPLEX.
Two buildings comprising 4 junior one bedroom apartments, two commercial spaces and a luxurious owner's triplex with oversized terrace and roof designed for entertaining. The 4 junior ones are all free market, three are leased and one is currently available for rent. The triplex is also leased free market
People in glass apartments shouldn’t throw stones or other projectiles. Nor should they engage in private acts directly in front of their floor to ceiling windows. Yet lately there has been a rash of exhibitionism throughout New York City owing to an increase in floor to ceiling windowed buildings. Influenced in part by Richard Meier’s glass box towers in lower Manhattan (and his newest one at One Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn), these transparent living spaces, once the quintessence of twenty first century Modernism, have become eyesores, particularly at night when they take on the appearance of showrooms in Amsterdam’s red light district.
Why would anyone want their intimate life exposed to any peeping Tom, Dick or Harry? In other words, what were the architects thinking? And why are so many developers buying into this aesthetic?
Reasons why the once cool east village now sucks: stupid out of town whores who can’t handle their booze now puke all over the streets.
We have a Web site, now being built — Theatre80stmarks.com. The schedule will be posted to the site as deposit checks are in hand. At present we are in final negotiations to present several operas, ballet, a musical, and the big announcement, we are installing high def. digital projections, so that we can, on occasion present film again at Theatre 80, though our focus will remain live theater. “The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side played to appreciative audiences here last month, and it was a pleasure to have the company in our theater, and we look forward to their possible return soon with a new play. To enquire as to availability of Theatre 80 for performances, screenings, private parties or rehearsal space, e-mail Lori Singleton at Lori.theatre80.gmail.com.
As always, the Otway family wishes to extend our thanks to the patrons of Theatre 80 for their support and expressed good wishes.
