I am ready to enroll in this "bread program." The honey-glazed bacon bread with ricotta sounds life-changing. So many great brunch options in this area! What's your experience with Jack's Wife Freda? I've been hearing more and more about it and just read a review on Uniquely NYC (http://uniquelynyc.bestonlineblogs.com/2019/11/11/jacks-wife-freda/) ...curious to check both of these options out! — Laura on Big news and brunch from Crown Shy

Look what you started Matthew. Yuck. Signed Progressive, Feminist Dem — TG on Sleepy’s corner leased for a giant CVS on Church
@David. David I was referring to the fact hat the author of this article mentioned the CVS policy of ethnic sensitivity not CVS. It’s perfectly fine for CVS to cater to its customer base. It’s demeaning for the author of this article to focus on political correctness. Now why was that necessary? This neighborhood is a mix, no one majority of ethnic representation. Why was there a need to even mention that in a real estate article? This is what is wrong with the big city swamps. MAGA! — Matthew on Sleepy’s corner leased for a giant CVS on Church

@matthew I have written policy statements for many corporations and can assure you that this is corporate boilerplate, regardless of the political affiliations of its leadership (which I don't know and don't care about). When they refer to "community sensitive" signage they mean that in Chinatowns around the country there will be some limited signage in Chinese. In Hispanic neighborhoods, same. There may be some Korean signage in some nabes too. Perhaps in Brighton Beach there may be some Russian, but likely not. There are not many major ethnic groups that large corporations officially recognize, but in any case it's not meant to be political, it is meant to positively affect their profitability. With respect, I think your over-politicizing this issue may be a greater problem for society than what you are perceiving as "political correctness". — David G.

"My first piece is in Tribeca at 140 Church Street. We bought it in 1997 with a Rite Aid lease. We had FAR [floor area ratio] and four other floors, and we bought it not even thinking we would develop it because Tribeca at the time was not a cool neighborhood. It was kind of industrial. A couple of years later, like two or three, Tribeca started getting cool. And so we partnered up with residential developers [Alchemy Properties], and we wound up building condos, and we sold them. We didn’t do fabulous on them [because] the neighborhood was not doing well at that point. I [still] own the retail condo [9,300 square feet at grade and 7,500 square feet on the lower level] with my partner [Matthew Scherr of Bryce Property & Development Co.]." https://commercialobserver.com/2017/09/charming-relentless-pain-in-the-butt-esther-bukai-knows-retail-and-the-boroughs/ — James on Sleepy’s corner leased for a giant CVS on Church

My wife asked if there wasn't already a CVS there years ago (many years ago) and I do seem to recollect that she might be right. Does anyone else remember a CVS being there? — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Sleepy’s corner leased for a giant CVS on Church
