Also on Community Board 1's September agendas: Worth Street wine bar; Spring Studios wants looser regulations; pedestrian plaza between Church and Sixth; Issey Miyake signage; Chefscape food hall; the jail tower; much more.
Plus: The De Blasio administration has jacked up commercial real estate taxes (and an acclaimed West Village restaurant is closing partly as a result); Cut has Sunday brunch and a lunch deal; when Broadway was Typewriter Row; East River Esplanade logjam cleared.
