Seen & Heard: Bogardus Park Gets Funded

July 2, 2013 Community News

••• Brookfield Place posted a new selfie—a rendering of “the courtyard entrance from the marina once renovations are complete next year.”

••• Press release: “Friends of Bogardus Garden was just awarded $400,000 in capital funding: $100,000 from Council Member Margaret Chin and $300,000 from Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer toward the complete re-design and re-construction of Bogardus Garden and Plaza.”

••• The Tribeca Citizen email newsletter now has more than 2,800 subscribers—if you’re not among them, you should consider signing up. It’s the most reliable way to stay in the know, and if you find the emails annoying, unsubscribing is a cinch. Subscribe here.

••• Hudson River Park has created a Twitter account for its RFPs, and it’s been actively encouraging restaurants around the city (and beyond) to participate in the Pier 26 restaurant RFP. You can see why the one below made me smile.

    Well, unless the “Honorable” Margaret Chin & Scott Stringer wrote the check out of their personal funds, then it would be more accurate to say they were just doing their job and got some of OUR tax money redirected back to OUR community (aka Our Neighborhood Improvement District)
    Whaaaa? The Honorable David Bouley running a restaurant at HRP? Sweet Jesus, Josephine, & MaryAnn’s – who is running the HRP twitter feed? His food is triple AAAmazing, but he just finally got control of his outside planter empire, so pah-leeeze, give him so breathing room. Oooh, that should be the name of a potential new Bouley restaurant in the old, but-always-renovating, “Industria Argentina” space – “The Breathing Room.” Don’t let Drew Nieporant near that space. He killed Centrico, so he’s is dead to me and all that loved a good pitcher or three of Sangria!
