The submission to the LPC represents a major change from the previous iteration of the plans, which was substantially glassier. The extension of the facade will consist of a coated copper base, and accents clad in corten steel will line the windows of the library, which have been downscaled substantially. Above that, the addition will feature ‘Anthology Film Archives’ in metal-mesh lettering, covering the penthouse level of the project.
Anthology Film Archives’ expansion will measure a relatively small 14’4″, and even with the extension, the structure will be shorter than its neighboring buildings.
Landlord Raphael Toledano is seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for an East Village walk-up building, which he says Delshah Capital’s Michael Shah has “commandeered,” according to a filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York...
On July 21, Delshah Capital announced the “acquisition of a defaulted note encumbering the property” at 97 Second Avenue. Delshah said in a news release that day, “Shortly after acquiring the defaulted senior note, Delshah worked directly with the building’s now former owner to enable them to recoup their capital and to take possession of the property at 30 percent below market value.”

WHEREAS, given the history of complaints in operating its previously permitted unenclosed sidewalk café, its violations in operating its premises, its 311 call history despite its now enclosed sidewalk café and the residential character of East 6th Street, Community Board 3 cannot approve a sidewalk café permit greater than eight (8) tables and sixteen (16) seats with limitations on its hours of operation;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Community Board 3 moves to approve the application for a sidewalk café permit for El Sayed 1 Corp., doing business as Horus Kabab House, for the premise located at 93 Avenue B, on the corner of Eats 6th Street and Avenue B, because the applicant has signed a change agreement which will become part of its DCA license that
1) its café will consist of eight (8) tables and sixteen (16) seats located flush against the façade of the
premises on East 6th Street, and
2) its hours of operation will be 12:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. all days
Despite protests by preservationists, elected officials and neighbors, two developers, Quality Capital and the Caerus Group, intend to demolish it and build a 14-story tower. (Caerus is the Greek god of opportunity and luck who seizes favorable moments.)
In August 2016, the Landmarks Preservation Commission rejected an application to protect 831 Broadway and its next-door twin, 827. According to its director of research at the time, the commission decided that New York already had enough buildings with “earlier cast-iron facades” and that “there are buildings on Broadway of a similar date, type and style” to represent this era of development in New York.
Fortunately, the commission has recently agreed to reconsider that decision, and the developers have agreed to withdraw their application for a demolition permit pending the reconsideration. Now the commissioners must decide whether to take the first formal step toward considering the buildings for landmark status and vote to “calendar” them — put them on the docket for active consideration for designation — which would be followed by a public hearing and a vote.

LUNGS Fresh Food Bag CSA
Get a bag full of fresh & healthy produce straight from the farmer to you for only $10 a week — and only the weeks you want — along with volunteer help from you and the gardens of our New York City Community Garden District. The program is managed by LUNGS (Loisaida United Neighborhood Gardens).
HOW IT WORKS:
This CSA is unique — you pay in advance but only for the weeks you want. SIGN-UP & PICK-UP is Sunday from 1 pm to 3 pm. When you pick up on Sunday you will pre-order and pay for the following week, or the week after.
See you this Sunday, August 6th, between 1 pm and 3 pm at Green Oasis on 8th Street between Avenues C&D to sign up!
It’s run entirely by volunteers, so all the money goes to the farmer. The family farm we work with uses organic methods but is not certified organic. The CSA typically begins in mid-June and—as we have for the past four years — runs every Sunday until Thanksgiving.
Pick up your produce between 1 and 3 pm on Sunday. If you cannot make the pickup time you need to arrange for someone else to pick it up for you. After 3 pm we are not responsible for your order. So if there are bags not picked up at the end of the day we will sell them to cover any losses that are inevitable in a volunteer-run program.
Bring tote bags! The first week you order please bring two tote bags for the season. Please bring good sturdy bags that can carry 10 pounds of produce. When you pick up the following week, bring back your bag!
Please remember that ALL the money that goes through this program goes to the farmer. This is a strictly volunteer program bringing fresh healthy food to your table. Please respect the time and energy that goes into setting this up and putting it together week to week.
