Looks like Popeye’s Fried Chicken may take over the former Foot Locker site on East 14th St. just west of Union Square. Another new aroma for the neighborhood.

Next week (December 24 to December 28), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors inside the building. The site will be closed on December 25th for the holiday but will be open on Monday the 24th and Wednesday the 26th.

The following week (December 31 to January 4), Material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors.

This weekend the site will be open on Saturday, December 22nd for interior and superstructure related activities between the work hours of 7AM and 5PM as permitted by the City.

Something has gone wrong in Union Square Park this summer. Complaints about illegal behavior, drug use, and vagrancy have led to a 320% increase in police citations. Now the police are patrolling much mor aggressively, as are hired security teams from the Union Square BID.

Just what the neighborhood didn’t need: another place to spend $6 on coffee. Joe and the Juice will open a new location at the corner of University and 13th St., the site formerly occupied by the defunct Nutella Cafe.

Next week (December 19 to December 23), Superstructure and concrete work will continue at 2nd and 3rd floor levels. Sidewalk sheds will continue being erected around the perimeter of the site. The roof protection at USC Condo courtyard will be finished this week.
The following week (December 26 to December 30), we will continue superstructure concrete and slabs on 2nd and 3rd floor levels.
This weekend the site will be closed on Saturday, December 17th.
Looking ahead to the upcoming holidays, the New School construction site will be closed on Saturdays, December 24 and December 31st, also on Mondays, December 26th and January 2nd.

Now, of course, it is apartments, but it was built as the home of Fairchild Publishing.
