It’s still about 6 months away so please be patient. All good things take time and we want to get it done properly.

Thanks and be well!

The only good news is that with every departure comes a new business that wants to take their place. Either way the trend is for ever bigger brand names to secure retail locations thus helping to keep retail rental rates high. Some names that are on their way to The District are; Serafina, Jay Godfrey and Christian Louboutin. And of course there is The Whitney Museum project under way. That is going to be awesome when it’s completed. And it’s going to draw huge numbers of people to the neighborhood which will increase exposure. It can only be good for business.

Just before 9 p.m. Friday, Nicholas Brooks emerged from the Sixth Precinct station house in Greenwich Village. He was handcuffed and escorted by detectives, who led him to a car.

The discovery was made when the hotel staff was alerted by a guest that water was leaking from the ceiling at about 3 a.m., the official said. Upon entering the room, the night manager found her floating face-up in the bathtub with the water running and called police, the official said. Emergency medical technicians declared her dead at the scene at 3:34 a.m., police said. According to the official, hotel employees told detectives Ms. Cachay’s boyfriend was seen leaving the hotel at about 2 a.m. He returned at 5:30 a.m. and was taken to the 6th Precinct for questioning by police. He was identified as Nicholas Brooks, 24 years old. His father, Joseph Brooks, composed the song “You Light Up My Life”. He won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1977.

Video surveillance from the hotel showed Nicholas Brooks leaving the room several times. Between 1 a.m. and 1:45 a.m. he went to the rooftop restaurant to eat a steak, the official said. He finally left the building with his coat at about 2:15 a.m., the official said. When he returned, he told detectives he had gone out drinking and had left his girlfriend asleep in bed, the official said.

The law-enforcement official said Ms. Cachay appeared to have bruising around her neck, hemorrhaging around her eyes and an apparent bite mark to her right hand. Police said the medical examiners would determine the cause of death.

“Bobby Weiss – Whatever he touches, turns to SOLD!”

Google first moved to the Meatpacking District in 2006, when it moved its New York office to 76 Ninth Avenue at West 15th Street. Since then, Google has expanded into Chelsea Market at 75 Ninth Avenue and now employs over 2,000 people at these locations. Google’s New York employees have become passionate about the High Line, and it was that passion that helped inspire the leadership at Google to step forward with this generous gift.

Thanks Google. Now how about placing an ad on my website!

I’m pretty certain that most of the business owners in the Meatpacking District are not even aware that I have been advertising their businesses for free for three years. Maybe if they knew they might even contribute to the site’s progress. If you get the chance, when you visit a business, tell the owner about the site and ask they why they don’t have any ads on here.

Thanks and have a great day!

After nearly a three year stint in Kyoto, Japan, Zane returned to New York City with the goal of showcasing his work as a New Age master of Woodblock prints, with his own special twist. I could go on and on but rather than that, take a look for yourself. You can find Zane streetside on the corner of Washington and West 13th Street or just visit his website below.

This vote is a major milestone towards the full preservation and transformation of the High Line at the rail yards into continuous public open space. Once approved by the Mayor, it will allow the City of New York to move forward with acquisition of the High Line above 30th Street, including the 10th Avenue Spur.

Also starting Wednesday the city will offer a website where diners can go and see the rating of any restaurant in the city. The website can be found at www.nyc.gov/health/restaurants.

The new inspection rules will require restaurant owners to post placards displaying their A, B or C ratings. The placards are required to be posted on a front window, door or exterior wall within five feet of the main entrance and must be four to six feet high.

Supporters of the High Line celebrated today as the Department of City Planning certified an
application to begin the public review process to allow the City acquire the final section of the
elevated structure. This announcement marks the beginning of the City’s Uniform Land Use
Review Procedure (ULURP), a seven-month process of community and government review. After
the ULURP is complete, the City will be authorized to move forward with acquisition of the historic
High Line structure as it runs the perimeter of the West Side Rail Yards.
The certification of this application, submitted by the Department of Parks & Recreation, is a
critical step by the Bloomberg administration toward the preservation of the historic High Line
structure, and the extension of the popular elevated park north of 30th Street.
Today’s announcement follows another major step for the High Line at the Rail Yards, taken in
December, 2009, when the City approved the Western Rail Yards Rezoning. The rezoning
contains requirements that the High Line west of 11th Avenue be used for public open space, as
well as stipulations for the ways in which future buildings can interact with the High Line. Taken
together, these two actions pave the way for integrating the historic structure into the future
development at the Rail Yards.
The non-profit Friends of the High Line has been advocating for full preservation of the historic
High Line structure north of 30th Street since the planning process for the redevelopment of this
site began several years ago. The group has worked along with the administration of Mayor
Michael R. Bloomberg, the MTA and the Empire State Development Corporation, the state
agencies that own the underlying land, and The Related Companies, the site’s developer, to
ensure that the High Line is included in plans for the site.
The High Line south of 30th Street is already owned by the City of New York, and is under the
jurisdiction of the Department of Parks & Recreation. This section was donated by CSX
Transportation, Inc. in 2005, following a public review process similar to the one beginning today.
The southernmost part of the structure opened in June, 2009 as a public park.
Once the ULURP process is complete, the City will be authorized to acquire the High Line north
of 30th Street.
On receiving word of the announcement, Friends of the High Line’s Chairman John Alschuler
said, “We are extremely pleased that the City is taking this important first step towards ownership
of the High Line’s iconic Rail Yards section. Through continued community advocacy, and
continued collaboration with the City, the MTA, and the Related Companies, we are confident that
this historic structure will be transformed into a great public space to be treasured by generations
to come.”
