In the News: Landmark Sunshine Cinema to Close in January

••• “The Lower East Side’s hip movie house, the Landmark Sunshine Cinema, will close when its lease expires in January 2018. The 30,000-square-foot building at 139 E. Houston St. has been sold for $31.5 million to developers East End Capital and K Property Group, which will convert it to a mixed-use development with retail and upstairs office space.” Above: a rendering of the possible redevelopment. “The site includes 20,000 square feet of air rights. Landmark had a right of first refusal to buy the building and wanted to serve dinner with its flicks, but that idea was flushed after a full liquor license was rejected in 2012 by the community board.” —New York Post

••• “The city is expanding its requirement that restaurants post calorie counts so that it now includes markets that sell prepared meals, such as Whole Foods and 7-Eleven. […] Enforcement will begin in August, after an educational campaign. Only stores with 15 or more locations nationally are included.” —New York Post
