We were going to announce the opening of the Union Square Holiday Market today, but it’s been open for over a week already. Christmas comes earlier every year. Our advice: go midday. At night it’s an agita-inducing mosh pit.
The Union Square Business Improvement District is considering expanding its boundaries. If you have an opinion about that, take this survey.
The retail retreat continues, with the departure of American Eagle from Union Square West.
Arthurs Invitations will close after Christmas. They will retain a printing operation in the basement, but the retail space at street level will get a new tenant.
Yet another place to get coffee: Le Cafe Coffee on 4th Ave. between 13th and 14th.
This week (May 16 to May 20), Contractors will continue to excavate earth and rock, and load out material. We will continue to underpin the 13th Street adjacent building. Drilling of tie-backs, installation of rakers, line drilling, lagging and sheeting around the perimeter will progress as well. Preparation for concrete foundation walls is scheduled to begin.
The following week (May 23 to May 27), we will continue line drilling, rock excavation, and loading out as well as, lagging and sheeting. Concrete foundation walls will progress.
