Seen & Heard: Local producer scores seven Emmy nominations

SEVEN EMMY’S NOMINATIONS FOR LOCAL PRODUCER
Tribecan Nelle Fortenberry (center in the photo above), Michael J. Fox’s longtime producing partner and the executive producer for his acclaimed documentary “STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” has now, along with the film’s production team, received seven Emmy nominations — the most of any documentary film or docuseries this season. The film recounts Fox’s extraordinary story in his own words — the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose to the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood and then, at age 29, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. It’s available on Apple TV.

A SHED FOR TERRA
Terra has added a dining structure on the outside of the bike lane, where all the West Broadway restaurants now have to site their curbside sheds. The Odeon, Serafina and Frenchette all removed theirs a few weeks back.

AND ANOTHER FOR AJISAI
The Japanese restaurant Ajisai, which replaced Tokyo Bay on Duane Street, is also building a curbside structure.

SEEKING NEW HOUSING SITES
Just in case you have an idea, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine has created web portal for Manhattan residents to identify and suggest sites for new housing developments. Users can submit information about potential sites, which will then be reviewed and evaluated by the borough president’s office for feasibility and alignment with the goals of his “Housing Manhattanites” plan.

  1. Since Eric Adams announced his intention to make the dining sheds permanent, more sheds are built and ever more elaborate, just as the effort to remove them was underway, though half heartedly. The real estate grab continues, public land for private use. Shame on all the transgressers.

  2. Mayor Adams speaks out of both sides of his mouth. One side hires a “rat czar” because he hates rats more than anything.
    The other side allows outdoor dining structures to become permanent free real estate while they harbor rats below the floor/deck. That is where the rats live, hide out and dine.

    Take a walk on Broadway, between Franklin and White and listen below the grates where the bus stop is. One can hear them squeaking even when there is a loud truck going by. The City does nothing to close up that disgusting haven. If this was privately owned, the owner would be in jail by now for allowing this to continue.
