14th Street, 1935

A model apartment has been completed, and you can see it in all its glory here.

In case you missed it on Friday, protesters invaded and occupied the New School buidling on our block for about 6 hours on Friday morning. Unlike the previous demonstration in December, this one was summarily shut down by a powerful NYPD push at the request of the university, and around 20 occupiers, some of whom appear to have been troublemakers as opposed to students, were arrested. The real losers in all this were the businesses on our block, who were prevented from opening until Friday afternoon.

The downtown location of popular vegan restaurant Blossom is out after two years. The team announced the closure of their University Place outpost in an Instagram post, saying that they were “grateful for the chance to focus our energies and resources on our flagship Upper West Side location.”

After 13 years, Corkbuzz, our downstairs neighbor, is done. Its other location, in Chelsea Market, will remain open.

Japonica will leave its location as Bowlmor Lanes preps for demolition. It will move just one block south to 90 University Place.

The Times takes an interesting look at the Gorham Building at the corner of Broadway and 19th, where today you’ll find Fishs Eddy.
