Seen & Heard: Math festival on Saturday

MOMATH AT FOSUN PLAZA
Fosun and the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath.org) will present the fifth annual New York City Math Festival on Saturday, August 14, from 10a to 4p at 28 Liberty. There will be hands-on math exhibits, mathematical games, puzzles and brainteasers, all coordinated with New York University’s Lab for the Developing Mind. The event is free.

SUMMER HOURS AT INTERLUDE
In case you panic as I did when you saw the doors locked at Interlude, they are closed for the next three Sundays in August.

HELP FOR THE EAST BROADWAY MALL?
Margaret Chin and Fujinese Chinatown leaders (Asian Americans For Equality, Chinatown BID, America Fujianese of Community in U.S.) are demanding that the city revitalize the East Broadway commercial strip by addressing overdue capital renovations and mismanagement. And while they are at it, someone — not sure if it’s the Parks Department or DOT — has to do some work on the median park on Allen/Pike. It’s shameful that the benches there have been a wreck for a decade, and the plantings need help too.

DOWNTOWN REBOUNDING
The Downtown Alliance has released its quarterly report — I will digest more later, but if this is your business, you can see the full report here. The quick take: rents are up, retail is coming back, but hotels are still struggling.

  1. Margaret Chin ought to speak forcefully to the City councilperson who failed to successfully advocate for an East Broadway revitalization all these years . Who could that be?
