‘Twitter cop’ connects with the community

BY ALEJANDR A O’CONNELLDOMENECH

A

nyone that has visited the 19th Precinct’s Twitter feed knows that it is something special.

Run-of-the-mill photos of award ceremonies, community meetings and officer retirement announcements are made more lively with snappy headlines and puns. The feed is peppered with funny snapshots staged by officers or officer selfies with community members.

“It humanizes the badge,” said Officer Anthony Nuccio, the digital communications officer responsible for managing the Upper East Side precinct’s Twitter and Facebook pages. The social voice of the precinct is really his.

According to Nuccio, the purpose of the precinct’s social-media accounts is twofold. They are meant to provide the public with pertinent information about crime and safety in their community, plus to improve the relationship between civilians and officers.

“A lot of times people don’t think of us as police officers — they think of us as robots,” Nuccio said.

He admits that when he first joined the force, his idea of a proper officer fell along these lines.

But the police are far from cyborgs, as sometimes can be seen, for example, in some little errors that occur when placing crime-related information up on social media. On March 5, the 19th Precinct posted a wanted sign for a young man who allegedly stole $7,047 worth of beer from a 7-Eleven store at 1453 Third Ave., at 82nd St. It seemed like an impossibly huge brew burglary. In fact, it was. The Deputy Commissioner of Public Information — the Police Department’s press office — subsequently notified the precinct that there was a typo, since the “Beer Bandit” — as the precinct dubbed him on social media — had only really taken $70.47 worth of alcohol.

“I was very rigid,” Officer Nuccio reflected about when he was first approached being a digital communications officer, or “D.C.O.” “I was a little bit more reserved.”

But as he spent more time engaging with the community online, he loos-

ened up and started to think m o r e cre at ively about how to better serve it via his new role.

According to a 2018 Gallup poll, only 54 percent of Americans trust the police either a “great deal or quite a lot.” That’s actually an increase from years prior.

Nuccio can attest to the increase in

commu n it y trust in officers since he began working at the 19th in 2014.

In his view, there has been a visible increase in the number of people that feel more comfortable reporting crimes, for example.

The improved relationship can also be attributed to the fact that Nuccio himself responds to every single direct message sent to the precinct’s Twitter account. And although the social-media accounts are not monitored 24 hours a day, Officer Nuccio said he frequently checks them during his off hours at home. He views every complaint as a new challenge and a new way to learn about the community needs.

“We aren’t just there when you call 911,” he said. “We are always there.”

Police Blotter 19th Precinct

Account cleaned out When an Upper East Side man let a maid into his home, he wasn’t expecting that she would clean out his bank account.

The 33-year-old hired a woman from Maid Sailors Cleaning services to tidy up his apartment. When he let the woman into his home on the morning of March 23, and left for work nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

At about 10 a.m. he received a phone call from Chase bank. There had been a withdrawal of $1,000 from his savings account at an ATM at 1368 York Ave., just two blocks away, police said.

After work, the man searched his apartment to see if anything had been taken and noticed that his girlfriend’s $2,000 diamond ring was missing.

Lick and run The police are asking for the public’s help in finding a man who licked a woman’s face while she was sleeping.

On March 24, at 6:35 a.m. a 28-year-old woman woke up to a stranger licking and kissing her face.

The intruder fled the apartment located near E. 65th St. and First Ave. after the woman screamed for him to get out.

According to police, the man was able to get into the victim’s apartment through an “unsecured front door,” which the victim had complained about earlier to building management.

The suspect is described as darkskinned, bearded and balding and was last seen wearing a dark-colored jacket and blue jeans.

Flakey fare A thief didn’t quite think things through when he stole his cab driver’s cell phone.

On March 27, a driver picked up a passenger in Far Rockaway who wanted to be dropped off at 93rd St. and First Ave. in Manhattan.

When the driver reached the location, the passenger paid her the $100 fare and opened the driver’s-side back door. But right before exiting the 2015 black Chevy, he reached over to the driver’s seat and snatched the driver’s iPhone X from between her legs.

The thief then took off and ran toward Second Ave. and E. 94th St. Nearby officers from the 19th Pre-

cinct were able to find and chase down the thief, who allegedly tossed away a clear ziplock bag of marijuana right before police apprehended him.

Park Ave. attack On March 22, a 49-year-old man was walking on the street at 10:30 p.m. when he was suddenly punched in the face by two strangers at the northwest corner of Park Ave. and E. 89th St., police said.

After the victim fell to the ground, the pair kept punching him and took his iPhone, Apple Watch and headphones. The dastardly duo then ran off north on Park Ave. The stolen items in total were worth

$750.

20th Precinct

Cell phone thief A man ripped off a Sprint store by ripping phones off the wall, police said.

On March 18, at 5:45 p.m., a man around age 30 entered a Sprint store at 2149 Broadway, at 76th St., and yanked two iPhones — an iPhone SE and an iPhone XS — off of their security lines attaching them to the shelves.

He then fled the store with the phones, worth $1,099 and $999, respectively, and headed southbound on Broadway.

Burglar has baggage A thief got away with stealing several pricey bags after robbing an Upper West Side luxury luggage store.

On March 11, at 7:19 a.m., an employee at Tumi, located at 2205 Broadway, near 78th St., arrived at work only to find the front glass door shattered. Once inside, she saw someone had stolen six small luggage bags, including an Albany briefcase worth $475, an Alpha Bravo Ariana briefcase worth $425, a Shepard backpack valued at $500, an Alpha Deluxe portfolio costing $350, a $450 Alpha briefcase and an Alpha wheeled bag worth $750.

Cop was game to find ‘missing’ teen

BY ALEJANDR A O’CONNELL-DOMENECH

A

n Upper East Side police officer found a missing teen by using a gaming app.

On Sat., March 23, around 9:20 p.m., the boy’s parents reported that their teenage son was missing.

Officers Strebel and Durney from the 19th Precinct responded to the family’s home, at 68th St. and Madison Ave. The parents informed them that they did not know where their 15-yearold had gone and were unable to reach him by phone.

According to police, the father and mother were especially concerned over their son’s whereabouts due to his “psych history.” Officers did not elaborate on the details of the teen’s mental health.

While at the family’s home, Strebel noticed that the missing teen’s computer was logged into Discord, a Web site that is an all-in-one voice-and-text-chat platform for gamers. Strebel, a gamer himself, quickly logged into his own Discord account with his cell phone and sent a friend request to the teen.

The missing boy accepted the cop’s friend request. Strebel then sent him a message letting the youth know that he was a cop and that his parents were worried and looking for him.

As it turns out, the boy did not run away and was at a Shake Shack nearby.

It merely had all been a miscommunication between the couple and their son.

Although the teen was safe, when he returned home after receiving Strebel’s message, his parents requested the youth be taken to a hospital by ambulance.

Meanwhile, Strebel has earned kudos for his good work on the incident — and the new nickname “Gamer Cop.”

COURTESY N.Y.P.D.

The 19th Precinct tweeted kudos to “Gamer Cop” Officer Strebel for his good work in finding a teen whose parents feared he was missing.

Obituary

Henry Stern, 83, Parks chief under two mayors how it got in.

Greitzer recalled another time when Stern was at her Village apartment for a gathering and he just lied down on the floor and took a nap, while people were talking.

Stern had a dog, Boomer, and in another quirk, he would tally the number of times people pet him.

Stern’s humor could sometimes be seen as politically incorrect.

In later years in his post, he was accused of discr imination against black and Hispanic employees in a federal class-action lawsuit. He denied the accusations. The city settled the case in 2008 for $20 million.

Greitzer said that Stern often hung out at the Village Independent Democrats club, which endorsed him and Bobby Wagner for the two councilmember at large seats. Stern was a Liberal while Wagner was a Democrat.

“There were many sides to Henry. He was very smart and had a good memory,” Greitzer said. She recalled him talking to her about becoming a father, about its obligations and if he could do a good job.

Stern married Dr. Margaret Ewing in 1976. He is survived by her and two sons, Jared and Kenan, along with a sister Susanne, brother Kenneth and five grandchildren.

Stern was born on May 1, 1935. He grew up in Inwood, in northern Manhattan. His father sold tents and his mother was a bookkeeper. He graduated from Bronx High School of Science at age 15 and earned a Harvard Law degree at 22.

At a memorial service at Park East Synagogue on the Upper East Side on March 31, family and longtime colleagues spoke of Stern’s decades in public service and shared quirky stories about his personality.

“His greatest legacy is the people he brought together,” said son Jared, “and who shared his passion for public service, including for public parks.”

Jared noted his father’s famous penchant for giving out “park names” to people, handing out more than 6,000 nicknames over all. His own park name was Starquest, “Star” from Stern and “Quest” for his love of questioning things.

ormer Parks Commissioner Henry Stern, who was passionate about green spaces and grew the city’s parklands by 1,600 acres, died on March 28. He was 83 and reportedly died of complications from Parkinson’s disease.

Stern lived on the Upper East Side but had a long connection to Greenwich Village, according to Jonathan Kuhn, director of art and antiquities for the Parks Department. As assistant to Borough President Constance Motley in the early 1960s, Stern was a liaison to Community Board 2.

Stern was also a councilmember at large in the 1970s. During his early political years he worked often with Tony Dapolito, a longtime leader of C.B. 2 and its Parks Committee.

Stern was also close to former Mayor Ed Koch, and would sometimes go to the Film Forum with him to watch movies, according to Kuhn.

“He had a great affection for the Village,” Kuhn said.

When asked about Stern’s personality, Kuhn said he could be very demanding, and was interested in history and streetscapes.

“He was a passionate advocate for open space,” Kuhn said.

Stern served as the city’s Parks commissioner from 1983 to 1990 under Koch and from 1994 to 2002 under former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Kuhn said that in the mid-’90s, Stern set up the Partnerships for Parks, which cultivated friends groups for parks.

The effects in the Village alone can be seen in friends groups for such parks as Abingdon Square, Jackson Square and Christopher Park.

Kuhn said that Stern, along with former Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis, both inherited the parks under hard times. He said both Stern and Davis improved the city’s green spaces through a philosophy that included, “have the public feel some ownership over their parks and some deeper connection, rather than it being something remote and government will just take care of. A partnership between citizens and government. A pretty brilliant idea,” Kuhn

said.

Stern issued the historical-signs project, so every park would have signs for people to identify them. The signs would give background about who a particular park was named after and that person’s accomplishments.

Stern created more than 1,000 of the signs and often wrote them himself. Village parks were given names like Father Demo Square and Golden Swan Garden, the latter for a former cafe at the W. Fourth St. and Sixth Ave. site.

Stern wanted to honor Dapolito by naming the Thompson St. Playground after him, but there was a rule that parks could not be named for living people. So it was called Vesuvio Playground for the bakery the C.B. icon ran.

After Dapolito’s death, the Carmine St. Recreation Center — a Parks Department facility — was named for him.

“He was serious when he was working, and eccentric in other ways,” recalled Carol Greitzer, a former longtime councilmember who worked with Stern when he was a councilmember at large.

Greitzer said that once when Stern was Parks commissioner, someone went to see him at his office at The Arsenal in Central Park for an interview, and Stern was sitting there with a live duck. No one knew where the duck came from or MEX

“My dad was not a conventional father,” said Kenneth, to laughs in the packed sanctuary. He said his father had a dry humor and wit, and wouldn’t take anything at face value.

“Henry made the parks a place of joy,” said former Mayor Giuliani at the service. “You can’t think of Henry without smiling and laughing.”

Giuliani noted that Stern was able to institutionalize his legacy over two terms as Parks commissioner.

“I was proud to be his friend,” Giuliani said, “but I was prouder he did something very special for the city I love.”

Ian R. Shapiro, a former assistant to Stern, noted that Stern introduced using animal art in every playground, such as sprinklers shaped like different creatures. And he wanted every traffic triangle to be turned into a green space, known as “greenstreets.”

Stern famously held tree funerals when ones were cut down or destroyed.

Shapiro recalled that after one such event, Stern was walking away when a reporter asked what the message of the tree funeral was.

“Don’t f— with our trees,” Stern replied.

Other officials at the memorial service included Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, former Borough President Ruth Messinger, Gordon Davis and current Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver.

In a statement to this paper, Silver said of Henry, “he was unique, memorable, and most of all, a dedicated public servant. We are grateful for his passion for all things parks; his work brought our city’s green spaces back into the forefront of public consciousness. His legacy will live on eternally.”

Adrian Benepe, Parks commissioner from 2002-12, said at the service that Stern was “an unabashed tree hugger,” who fought for “arborcide” laws and had a guide published about the city’s trees.

He noted that Stern initiated the creation of the City Parks Foundation and other nonprofits that spend $180 million annually for parks.

Benepe said that Stern was trying to create a community of park devotees in handing out so many nicknames. And he said that Stern could be quirky, demanding, worked long hours, and always had time to listen to people, especially those without any type of lofty status.

Rabbi Arthur Schneier said at the memorial that Stern remained humble even with all his accomplishments, and he didn’t have ego or pride. And the rabbi said he had never been to a memorial service that shared so much laughter, and history of New York City.

Brewer may sue over U.E.S. public-private housing

BY R ACHEL HOLLIDAY SMITH

M

anhattan Borough President Gale Brewer is threatening legal action over Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to override public review at a contentious private development at a public housing complex on the Upper East Side, according to a letter she sent to City Hall.

The Holmes Towers project in Yorkville is poised to be the de Blasio’s administration’s fi rst major private development deal on New York City Housing Authority land that aims to raise money for the struggling agency.

But the deal has been delayed for nearly three years amid concerns from residents and local officials about construction, transparency and gentrification.

In 2016, the city announced plans bring on a private developer to build on the NYCHA site. A year later, the de Blasio administration chose Fetner Properties to develop a private tower on land directly next to the towers on East 92nd Street and First Avenue. As part of the deal, Fetner has agreed to give you try to develop $25 million to the housing authority the site without public to make repairs at Holmes — which review, I’ll take you to court. needs about $36 million in fi xes and “If the administration does not maintenance, according to NYCHA’s proceed accordingly, I am prepared most recent estimate. to challenge what I believe to be imAs of late February, the Fetner deal proper action by pursuing appropriate has not yet closed.

“We are using every tool in our

arsenal to reverse decades of federal divestment in NYCHA,” said mayoral spokeswoman Olivia Lapeyrolerie.

“This project will raise $25 million in critical repairs for Holmes residents.”

The potential Holmes Towers development is just one of a handful of private-public projects officially known as “Build to Preserve” as part of the “NYCHA 2.0” initiative, which is the latest iteration of policy once known as NextGeneration NYCHA. Similar works are being considered at Wyckoff Gardens and Cooper Park in Brooklyn, and at LaGuardia Houses on the Lower East Side and Harborview Terrace in Hell’s Kitchen.

Hoylman raps Google over ‘gay cure’ app flap

BY ALE JANDR A O’CONNELL-DOMENECH

S

tate Senator Brad Hoylman is calling for Google to examine why it took so long to remove a gay-conversion therapy app from its Play Store.

Last year, Hoylman reintroduced his bill banning the pseudoscientific practice and it was signed into law on Jan. 15. New York thus became the 15th state in the nation to ban gayconversion therapy.

“This needs to be a real soul-searching moment for the company,” Hoylman said. “Where did the resistance come from and why?”

According to the senator, Google only moved to scrap the app after the Human Rights Campaign decided not to endorse the company on its 2019 Corporate Equity Index.

“After consulting with outside advocacy groups, reviewing our policies, and making sure we had a thorough understanding of the app and its relation to conversion therapy, we’ve decided to remove it from the Play Store, consistent with other app stores,” a Google representative said when asked why it chose to stop distributing the app at this moment.

Living Hope Ministries, the group behind the app, did not respond to a request for comment from this paper. But in January, Living Hope Ministries — which was founded with a gay-conversion mission — denied to The Verge that it was performing conversion therapy. The company’s Web site sates that it proclaims a Christ-centered, Biblical world-view of sexual expression rooted in one man and one woman in a committed, monogamous, heterosex-

“Anything less than this ideal falls short of God’s best for humanity,” the site states.

Last December, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple all stopped providing the app after an online petition on change.org — blasting the app as “bigoted” and “hateful” — demanded its removal.

More than 141,806 people called for Google to remove the app on a separate petition on change.org .

Hoylman said that he met with multiple representatives from Google at least half a dozen times since January to ask about the status of the app’s removal. He was told technical issues and legal concerns were delaying the process.

To him, the company was just using delaying tactics. He said he found it very disappointing that the Google would not respond to an elected official representing the district that is now home to their New York City headquarters.

“Something is broken at Google,” Hoylman said in a statement. “It’s on them to fix it — the L.G.B.T.Q. community is watching.”

angkok and New York can serve as metaphors for the opposite natures of Eastern and Western mind. As are its klongs (canals), and famed go-go dancers, Bangkok’s streets are all sinews and curves that flow and return like all things, at 4 in the morning, anyway.

Otherwise the city is choked in interminable traffic. But the Thai, who have seen their GDP explode over the past 30 years, have the laissez-faire wisdom to know affordable automobiles have helped lift millions out of subsistence-level poverty. Do you want to bend over in a rice paddy your entire life?

“Progress” is attended by other social ills, but that’s another matter. This screed is about traffic and government.

Back in the antithetical West on 14th St., the Department of Transportation’s proposed street closure, dedicated bus lane and already emplaced and hated Village bike lanes are back like a bad case of herpes. The viral carrier in this case are Brooklyn’s Bicycle Bolsheviks, i.e. Transportation Alternatives.

TransAlt’s didactic manifesto induces its followers to “save the planet,” and that requires “reclaiming New York City’s streets for people” from the bad karma of the elitist motorist.

“Vision Zero” will “save us” and possibly cure cancer. Like the small clique of apparatchiks who engineered all aspects of Soviet society, this fevered cell of Brooklyn Bolsheviks have been transforming Manhattan’s gritty grid into a cow pasture for dumb, grazing tourists and a thruway for the piggish, 36-speed lycra junta from Park Slope.

The social experiments promoted by TransAlt — dedicated bike and bus lanes and pedestrian plazas, forcing traffic-lane closures — first instituted by an aloof and above-it-all Michael Bloomberg and now by an aloof and beneath-it-all Bill de Blasio, have been catastrophically sclerotic, adding danger to pedestrians and stress to the lives of everyone who drives.

A D.O.T. 2017 study counted only 10,000 bike commuters from the outer boroughs daily over the East River bridges, and a maximum total of 27,000 when combined with Manhattan-only riders. Manhattan accommodates 1.6 million commuters daily. Outer-borough bike commuters constitute 0.00625 percent.

The proposed closing of 14th St., a central artery, to automobiles and the entire “L-pocalyose” plan that was thrust upon the Village, Chelsea and adjacent communities is a nightmare.

It was promoted by a TransAlt study by Brooklyn-based BRT Planning International, whose only projects apparently were in Kirkland, Washington, and sub-Saharan Africa. I guess they took AOC’s subway to Kenya.

De Blasio and Council Speaker Corey Johnson recently backed away from the 14th St. “busway.” The mayor was using it as a social experiment for liberal causes — because it would look good on his résumé as he pathetically beats the bushes around the country before tiny bored audiences.

Johnson, like Bloomberg and de Blasio, is a Bostonian. He never cheered for Reggie, Jeter, Doc, Clyde, L.T. He probably worships Tom Brady. Like de Blasio, he seeks higher office.

The self-annointed transportation gurus want to shut down 14th St.: Do it for them, without a permit. It will make international news. Do the same in Nolita outside the Elizabeth St. Garden. Ommmmmm.

Letters to the Editor Sylvia Rackow

Johnson sends a signal?

To The Editor: Re “New biz bills don’t fix closings’ cause” (op-ed, by Sharon Woolums, March 28): Thank you for your fine opinion piece on the Small Business Jobs Survival Act, Sharon. I wonder why Speaker Corey Johnson took his name off the bill.

Your writing on this important subject is always informative and important.

Maura Tobias Editor’s note: According to City Council sources, bills are reintroduced every session of the Council. When the S.B.J.S.A. was reintroduced, Johnson did not sign on as a sponsor, as he had done before. As Council speaker, he signs onto fewer bills than he did when he was just a councilmember.

Storefronts ghost town To The Editor: Re “New biz bills don’t fix closings’ cause” (op-ed, by Sharon Woolums, March 28): It’s been six months since the City Council first began debating the passing of a bill, the Small Business Jobs Survival Act, to rescue our small businesses from rent gouging and death at lease-renewal time.

Since then, I’ve seen my favorite stationery store close, a little pastry shop I love shuttered, my favorite bodega abandoned, the Cornelia St. Cafe destroyed. And along Sixth Ave. from Eighth St. down, a virtual ghost town of empty stores has emerged like an urban cancer.

Ignoring cancer is not advisable. Nor is taking snake oil to save our struggling little businesses, which Councilman Mark Gjonaj’s touted “nine bills” surely is.

Please! Pass the S.B.J.S.A. intact immediately. We can’t take much more of this death by a thousand cuts, slashing away the cherished uniqueness of our city.

The Native Leather shop was on Bleecker St. for nearly 50 years, but closed after the landlord would not renew its lease. The landlord wanted to double the rent.

Property taxes killing ’em, too To The Editor: Re “New biz bills don’t fix closings’ cause” (op-ed, by Sharon Woolums, March 28): High property taxes are also to blame for high commercial rents. New York City is characterized by overspending and overtaxation. High rents are a symptom, not the root cause.

Anthony Pappas

Congestion exemption To The Editor: Re “Traffic pricing a great idea, if done right” (editorial, March 28): I live in the Village and visit my family in Brooklyn via the bridge. I believe anyone who lives below 60th St. should be exempt from congestion pricing. The congestion is often from trucks from Jersey and other states. There are also too many out-of-state cars that clutter our streets and pollute the air. Bleecker St. used to be little used. Now it’s continually backed up by traffic from people wanting to “visit” or who think of our area as a “tourist” destination. Stop the congesters — not the residents.

To The Editor: Re “Cheers and fears at traffic pricing forum” (news article, March 28): Let’s understand that those private car services — Uber, Lyft, Via, black cabs, etc. — and yellow and green taxicabs are for-hire public transportation, which make it unnecessary for people to own and use their own cars.

They also provide an alternative to the currently inefficient and “never-on-time” buses and subway. Bikes, too, are a boon, providing economical, environmental and exercise benefits.

If congestion charging has the goal of pushing more of us to use public transportation, the charge should not be implemented until the governor’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority increases the number of bus and subway runs.

Alan Flacks

Taking taxis is taxing To The Editor: Re “Traffic pricing a great idea, if done right” (editorial, March 28): The congestion fee has been in effect for weeks for taxis ($2.50 per ride) and car services ($2.75 per ride). With the initial charge and other surcharges, it now costs $6 just to open a taxi door. Have we seen fewer “blocked boxes”? Less congestion? It doesn’t work in London. It won’t work here.

‘Cornelia St. in Exile’ lives in Brooklyn

BY GABE HERMAN

T

he Cornelia Street Cafe is back, though after its West Village closing on Jan. 2, it is now taking its show on the road.

On the evening of Wed., March 27, owner Robin Hirsch sent out an e-mail announcement that there will be three nights of shows in Brooklyn on April 5, 6 and 7.

“Well, my dears!” the message began. “It’s been a long and difficult time. We have been in the wilderness. A lost home to mourn, a long history to celebrate, a present and future to ponder and devise.”

Hirsch went on to write, “Cornelia Street in Exile (as the great David Amram so eloquently calls us)

will pop up in Brooklyn for 3 nights next week.”

The events will be held at Brooklyn Commons/ Commons Cafe, at 388 Atlantic Ave., on the southern edge of Downtown Brooklyn, just a quick subway ride from Manhattan.

“Many of our beloved stalwarts will be performing in the beautiful and congenial space,” wrote Hirsch.

The schedule so far includes international poetry on Fri., April 5, at 6 p.m. — featuring Italian-American, Greek-American and Russian and Romanian poets — and legendary musician David Amram and Co. performing later that same evening at 8:30 p.m.

Sat., April 6, will include Cafe Stories at 6 p.m., featuring the cafe’s owner.

“Our longstanding Minister of Culture, Robin

Hirsch,” reads the description, “regales us with 41+ years of cafe stories (hopefully not in real time) with carefully timed interruptions from various co-conspirators.”

Also performing Saturday, at 8:30 p.m., will be Arturo O’Farrill, legendary Afro-Cuban pianist/conductor of the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra.

The Sunday shows on April 7 will include an installment of the cafe’s long-running “Science Series” at 6 p.m. — plus subversive music/performance by Evan Eisenberg — and Israeli Jazz at 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

Hirsch wrote that another message will be sent out soon with updates, instructions on how to book and “various other juicy tidbits.”

“In the meantime, hold us in your heart — as we hold you!” the message fi nished.

David Amram, 88, who performed at the Cornelia Street Cafe for 14 years, told this paper that he’s happy Hirsch adopted his idea to call it Cornelia Street in Exile. And he said he’s honored to be performing on the opening night.

“I’m happy to be there and just to be a part of it,” Amram said. “And just to bear witness to what Robin has been doing for 41 years, and what New York City still has to offer the world.”

Amram said he hoped to focus on the positive aspects of what the cafe offers, instead of negatives related to its closing.

“Rather than being a ‘whine-ologist’ or ‘blameologist’ in criticizing landlords and that type of thing,” he said, “I hope this could be a positive thing, to show and encourage young people that they have something to look forward to and for them to create their own venues.”

Google gives young coders of color access

BY ALEJANDR A Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;CONNELLDOMENECH

G

oogle is doubling down on its efforts to foster greater diversity among tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tech leaders.

Its Chelsea-based program, Google Code Next, now has a larger physical space. The enlarged center, twice the size of its previous incarnation, officially opened on March 5.

Besides its increased size, the space has a fresh and inspiring look. The faces of black and Latino tech innovators, like Kenneth Dunkley, the inventor of 3-D glasses; Jordi MuĂąoz, the Mexican immigrant who co-founded the company 3D Robotics; and Dr. Shirley Jackson, an American physicist responsible for technology that led to fiber optics and portable phones, all look down from the walls of the new space.

Peta-Gay Clarke is the program leader for Google Code Next in New York City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things we learned was that access was a big issue,â&#x20AC;? Clarke said, regarding challenges black and Latino students face in pursuing computer science as a career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go into communities that are highly populated with black and Latino youth, there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of places where they can go where they can get

access to innovative tech, laptops, software,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where they can just try and be exposed to different things.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this lack of access that Google is trying to mitigate in order to solve the tech industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diversity problem.

According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, only 7 percent of all high-tech industry employees are black and only 7.97 percent are Latino.

The racial disparity is even greater within the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, according to the most recent E.E.O.C. data. Blacks only make up 1.92 percent of leadership positions in high tech while Latinos make up just a slightly larger share, at 3.11 percent.

According to a report by Fast Company, in 2016 only 2 percent of Google

employees were black and only 3 percent were Latino. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would love for them to work for Google,â&#x20AC;? Clarke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the goal.â&#x20AC;?

Code Next launched that same year in Oakland, providing free computerscience classes to black and Latino middle and high school students, both after school and on weekends. Now Code Next has expanded to include Chelsea and Harlem locations. But the center in Harlem is run out of the Boys and Girls Club of Harlem and is managed in partnership with the New York Urban League and Emerging Leaders in Technology and Engineering. The one in Chelsea is the largest of the three Google Code Nexts.

Besides after-school classes, Code Next offers tutoring and mentorship program.

Code Nextâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first cohort graduated last year, and according to Clarke, Code Next is going to start thinking about how they can help their students now that they head off to college.

It all started when I first saw the glittering stainless steel Unisphere out the car window on the ride back to Long Island from my grandmother’s house in Glendale. When I asked my mother about it, she’d fondly recall taking my brothers to the 1964–65 World’s Fair.

Many years later, I would move to Queens and wholeheartedly embrace its diverse cuisines and culture and come to love the Unisphere — a sculpture originally commissioned as a tribute to the Space Age — as a symbol of the diversity of the World’s Borough.

So when Joshua Schneps, CEO and co-publisher at Schneps Media and founder of LIC Flea & Food, approached me a few years ago to tell me of his plans to pay tribute to the largest event ever to take place in the history of New York City with a culinary and cultural festival with 100 vendors representing 100 cultures, I jumped on board immediately.

The second annual World’s Fare, which will be held on May 18 and 19 at Citi Field, features many of my personal favorites from all over the world, including the Arepa Lady, the crown jewel of Colombian street food in New York City; Indonesian desserts from Moon Man; as well as Italian arrosticini, succulent lamb skewers from D’Abruzzo, which won first place in the savory division at last year’s Fare.

Newcomers this year include Chef Troy’s Table representing Jamaica with their nutritious and delicious I-tal Rastafarian vegetarian cuisine, Balkan Bites flying the flag of Kosovo with flaky savory burek and sweet baklava, Cafe Escencia representing Spain with scrumptious sourdough churros wheel, and a

Sweets by CHLOE, a go-to for vegan treats tiramisu.

And cookies include the old-fashioned chocolate chip, along with a cinnamon espresso cookie that is big, crispy and flat.

There is also pecan pie and matcha chocolate babka. Also, full cakes that go for around $40, such as carrot cake, mocha almond fudge cake, and chocolate or vanilla birthday cakes.

Yelp reviews for Sweets by CHLOE average three and a half stars out of five. Most find the desserts to be tasty, and like the friendly atmosphere, but some say the taste is compromised by using vegan-only ingredients.

Other Yelp reviewers felt it was a bit too pricey but not terrible.

Sweets by CHLOE is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends. More information can be found at eatbychloe.com.

ith so many bakeries in the Village, whether trendy, old-fashioned or otherwise, Sweets by CHLOE stands out as a vegan shop with tasty options.

Sweets by CHLOE opened at 185 Bleecker St. in September 2016. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an offshoot of by CHLOE, the vegan casual restaurant right next door at Bleecker and MacDougal Sts. that opened in July 2015 and immediately saw long lines as a new hot spot in the area.

By CHLOE has expanded to several locations throughout the city and around the country. There are also two locations in London.

And the treats are tasty, too. One may be naturally skeptical of how delicious vegan sweets can be, and there might be a slightly lower level of flavor in the offerings. But over all, there is still a richness to the flavors and textures, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I could tell the difference in a blind taste test.

The shop offers standards like cookies and cupcakes, in the $2 to $4 range.

Arrest in Riis slay the first time it turned violent,â&#x20AC;? Captain John L. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, the Ninth Precinctâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commanding officer, told this pasper on March 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no gang or narcotics nexus. This was a specific thing between these people. We have no signs of retaliation.â&#x20AC;?

The East Village precinct had impressively gone nearly two years without a murder, he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping, but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite make it to two years,â&#x20AC;? he said.

According to an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Off the Gridâ&#x20AC;? article by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, 710 E. Ninth St. was originally built as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hâ&#x20AC;?-style public school in 1876 and continued to serve as such until the 1970s. After that, it was the home of Loisaida Inc. for 30 years. The building then underwent a complete renovation funded by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Supportive housing units for youth aging out of foster care, plus a new 10,000 squarefoot Loisaida Community Center, were created as part of the renovation.

olice have made an arrest in the fatal stabbing on Mon., March 25, around 8:47 p.m., in front of 1115 F.D.R. Drive, near E. 11th St., at the Jacob Riis Houses.

Responding officers found a 27-yearold man with a stab wound to the stomach. E.M.S. medics transported the victim to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

On Wed., March 27, police released the name of the victim, Phibeon Smalls, 27, of 710 E. Ninth St., and said that Christopher Dixon, 26, of the same building, had been arrested for his murder. The victim lived on the second floor and the alleged killer lives on the fifth floor at the address, less than a block west of the Riis Houses.

A witness said the two had argued prior to the stabbing, a police spokesperson said, though it was not clear how long before the incident it was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apparently, they had a little bit of an ongoing back and forth, and this is

Getting to the truth about canned foods can assuage some of those concerns and help those on the fence stock up on these budget-friendly staples.

Canned food myths debunked T

he affordability of canned foods entices many people to stock up on the essentials. However, there are some people who still harbor concerns about the safety of canned foods. Getting to the truth about canned foods can assuage some of those concerns and help those on the fence stock up on these budget-friendly staples:

savory ingredients. The term processing is used to describe any food that has been changed from its natural form. So removing corn from a cob counts as processing, as is baking or boiling potatoes.

Canned foods are preserved by heating the items and sealing them under pressure. No other preservatives are needed to keep them fresh.

Myth #1: Canned foods are not as healthy Myth #3: Can linings are dangerous. as fresh foods.

Fresh foods, once harvested, have a finite shelf life. Plus, once fruit or vegetables are picked, their vitamin and mineral content decreases each day that they are not consumed. Many canned foods are picked and processed on the same day, helping to retain nutrients at their peak and lock them in for many months.

Also, according to the Hy-Vee supermarket chain, sometimes canned foods are packed with additional nutrients, such as increased lycopene in canned tomatoes.

There has been controversy concerning BPAcontaining plastics for many years. Even though the Food and Drug Administration, as well as other international food safety agencies, has evaluated the extensive body of science and continue to affirm BPA’s safety in food packaging, some manufacturers are voluntarily moving away from it.

Consumers can find many foods packed in cans with non-BPA linings. However, even foods packaged in BPA are considered safe for consumption.

Myth #2: They are full of preservatives.

Myth #4: Canned foods are full of sodium.

The perception that canned foods are “processed” foods often leads people to believe they’re full of un-

preservative. But canned foods do not rank among the biggest offenders in regard to excessive amounts of sodium.

In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study that identified the top 10 food categories that contribute to high sodium diets.

Pizza, cured meats, cold cuts, and rolls made the list, while canned foods did not.

Myth #5: They do not taste good.

Because foods are canned when they are at peak freshness and ripeness after harvest, they retain full flavor if properly stored.

Myth #6: All dented cans are unsafe.

Cans can become dented in transit. Drop a can and it will dent. But that doesn’t necessarily mean foods inside dented cans are unsafe to eat. If a can is bulging or if the top or bottom of the can moves or makes a popping sound, the seal has probably been broken or compromised by bacteria and should be thrown out.

Canned foods are safe and can make for valuable additions to any pantry.

How certain nutrients affect your body

M

any people are aware that their bodies need nutrients like protein and carbohydrates every day, but they may not know just what these and other important nutrients do for their bodies:

Proteins Online medical resource WebMD notes that the body uses protein to build and repair tissues. An important component of every cell in the body, protein provides amino acids that help cells in the body perform various functions. Breastcancer.org notes that proteins help the body create hormones and enzymes and keep the immune system healthy. A diet low in protein may make people more susceptible to illness and result in longer recovery times.

Carbohydrates The Cleveland Clinic notes that carbohydrates, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;carbs,â&#x20AC;? are the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main source of energy. Carbs are found in

most foods, but not all carbs are the same. Foods that contain complex carbohydrates, which include quinoa and oatmeal, are loaded with fiber. It takes awhile for the body to break that fiber down, helping people feel full and stabilizing their blood sugar levels. Simple carbohydrates, including processed foods such as sugarsweetened beverages and dairy desserts, are quickly digested, raising blood sugar levels.

Water The body is about 60 percent water, which performs a host of important functions. Water aids in digestion, absorption of nutrients and circulation, and also facilitates the transportation of nutrients through the body. Water also helps the body get rid of waste. WebMD notes that water also helps to energize muscles, which might suffer from fatigue if the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fluid balance is not maintained. Water also helps the body maintain a healthy temperature.

Water aids in digestion, absorption of nutrients and circulation, and also facilitates the transpor tation of nutrients through the body.

Nighttime snack best bets VILL AGE C APOTHECARY alorie-conscious individuals may wonder if eating at night or after a certain time can derail their diets and fitness regimens. The jury is still out on whether eating at night can pack on the pounds or not, with various health recommendations contradicting one another. However, if one does choose to snack at night, there may be a smart way to do so.

The U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weight Control Information Network says that a calorie is a calorie no matter when it is consumed. That means it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if calories are consumed in the morning, afternoon, or evening. It is how many are consumed and the amount of physical activity individuals perform that will affect their weights. Conversely, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure if a calorie is a calorie no matter when it is consumed. Its research and data from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Weight and Eating Disorders indicates that when food is consumed late at night the body is more likely to store those calories as fat and gain weight rather than burn it off as energy.

Certain animal studies show that food is processed differently depending on the time of day it was consumed.

For nighttime snacks, choose a food that is high in protein, fiber or healthy

The health benefits of eating apples T he phrase, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” is a familiar one that many people first heard as children.

Apples are among the most cultivated and consumed foods in the world. They’re also among the healthiest. Medical News Today, a market leader for medical news that is owned and operated by the United Kingdom-based healthcare publisher Healthline Media, listed apples among its 10 healthiest foods. Apples provide many health benefits, lending credence to the notion that consuming one per day might just keep the doctor away: Apples may reduce risk for stroke.

Apples are rich in antioxidants, including quercetin, which researchers have determined can help people lower their risk for thrombotic stroke. In that study, which was published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2000, researchers studied more than 9,200 men and women over a 28-year period.

Those who ate the most apples during that time had a lower risk for thrombotic stroke, a type of stroke that occurs when a blood clot forms in an artery that supplies blood to the brain. Such blood clots block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the brain, producing long-term brain damage.

They lower levels of bad cholesterol.

“Bad cholesterol” refers to low-density lipoprotein, or LDL. LDL is considered bad because high levels of it lead to a buildup of cholesterol in the arteries, raising a person’s risk for coronary artery disease. Thankfully, in 2011, researchers at Florida State University found that older women who consume apples every day had reduced their LDL levels by 23 percent in six months and even increased their “good” cholesterol levels by four percent over that period.

Apples can help people maintain healthy weights. The flavonoid polymers found in apples inhibit enzymes that break down simple sugars. That means the flavonoid polymers in apples help you flush more of the sugar in apples out of your system instead of storing it as fat.

That can help people maintain healthy weights. Fuji apples have the most flavonoids.

They can lower risk for diabetes. A recent cohort study published in BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal) that involved researchers from the U.K., the U.S. and Singapore found that consuming three servings per week of blueberries, grapes, raisins, apples or pears reduced participants’ risk for type 2 diabetes by 7 percent.

Apples provide many health benefits, lending credence to the notion that consuming one per day might just keep the doctor away.

Three ways oatmeal can benefit your body

O

atmeal is one of many options people have when sitting down to breakfast each morning. Few foods pack as nutritious a punch as oatmeal.

Instant oatmeal might be found in the pantries of many households. But it’s important to note that packets of instant oatmeal are often loaded with sodium and sugar, which can compromise the nutritional benefits of the oats.

Oatmeal can provide a great start to your day and pay other dividends as well, though it’s important that consumers read package labels so they are getting the nutritional benefits of whole-grain oats without the added sugar and sodium.

“bad” cholesterol.

1. Oatmeal can help lower ‘bad’ cholesterol

Oatmeal, so long as it isn’t instant oatmeal, is one of the rare foods that’s both filling and low in calories. Oatmeal is filling because of its fiber content. Unlike other carbohydrates, fiber does not break down into sugar once it’s consumed. When fiber is consumed, it absorbs water and takes up space in the stomach, giving feelings of fullness that can prevent overeating.

According to the Mayo Clinic, oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream. And it doesn’t even take much soluble fiber to reap such benefits. Five to 10 grams of soluble fiber per day has been shown to decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which is commonly referred to as “LDL” or Schneps Media

2. It is loaded with vitamins and minerals The online medical resource Healthline notes that oats contain a well-balanced nutrient composition that can help people get well on their way to consuming their recommended daily intake of various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

For example, half a cup of oats contains 41 percent of the RDI of phosphorous and 20 percent of the RDI of iron. That same serving contains 51 grams of carbohydrates and 13 grams of protein.

Ackers honor avant-garde’s ‘real heroes’

f you want to receive an Acker Award, keep doing what you’re doing — and who knows? — it could happen.

In the meantime, if you want to get a seat at the ceremony, get there early. The East Village community quickly filled the seats at The Theater for the New City, sending the staff scrambling to bring in extra seats and floor cushions, and still part of the audience was left standing.

The draw was longtime resident Clayton Patterson’s annual salute to the people who make the East Village / Lower East Side what it is. Honoring an eclectic mix of avant-garde artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, activists and more, the evening moved quickly as emcee Phoebe Legere — appropriately dressed as a very fashionable ringmaster — presented each award.

Patterson hung back, handing out the boxes containing a mix of memorabilia and art contributed by the winners, and occasionally snapping pics.

Crystal Field, director of TNC, received the first award for Lifetime Achievement. Field gave a brief speech, noting that she thought that “things are getting better,” while reminding us that “we are a grain of sand in history’s march forward.”

Cynthia Carr, a writer and historian, received the Candy Darling Award.

she said.

Linus Coraggio, of the Rivington School, accepted his Acker “in the name of positive cultural transforTVG

mation.”

“This award means more to me than any other, because my life is avant-garde theater,” noted Melba LaRose.

Trigger, former owner of the late, lamented Continental bar, reminisced about his friend Joey Ramone’s last show, which took place at his club. An Acker Award “honors the past, present and future,” he remarked.

Musician Jesse Malin related how he “found my tribe on St. Mark’s Place.”

Power Malu began his turn at the mic with a tribute to Patterson and ended with an impassioned spoken-word piece about the plight of posthurricane Puerto Rico. Community activist Lila Mejia also had Puerto Rico on her mind, as she offered T-shirts for sale to raise money for the island.

Tattoo artist Tommy Houlihan thanked his mother, who bought him his first tattoo machine.

Patterson, who spoke only sporadically during the ceremony, summed up the reasons for the Ackers’ existence.

“If we don’t save our own history, who will?” he asked. Explaining his desire to recognize local talent, he explained, “A lot of the time, the real heroes are the ones you don’t know about until years later. The real geniuses are in the background.

“These are people who inspire the community,” he added. “I’m not trying for a crew, I’m going for a community.”

Chelsea gallery tags street art as fine art

BY ALEJANDR A O’CONNELLDOMENECH

O

n March 23, the new exhibit “Blended” opened at the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in Chelsea.

The exhibit is a collection of street and pop artists’ works that have been reimagined. Pieces that, in their original form, are the size of an entire building wall have been redone to fit a small canvas. By miniaturizing these larger-than-life paintings, curator Denise Cummings is making a powerful statement: Street art is fine art.

“Opinions are changed by what the artist chooses to say about the definition of their work,” Cummings said.

“Blended” is Cummings’s curatorial debut and signals a seminal moment for the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery.

But there is still a long way to go before the world stops viewing street as mere vandalism. And, in order to do that, according to Cummings, more street artists need to be given spaces in high-end galleries and museums where their style and intent can be better explained to the masses.

Most of the artists featured in “Blended” are relatively unknown outside of the street and pop art scene. But some, like the artist Hektad, who has several murals in the area around the World Trade Center, are more recognizable.

Other artists in the show include Robert Mars, Biaggio, RiiisaBoogie, Pitch Black, SFGrajales, Rezones, Wilfredo Feliciano and Michele Allgood.

There is even a piece by the curator herself in the exhibit.

ed” was the opposite of what one might expect at a gallery. Graffitied trucker hat-wearing viewers laughed with friends as they drank out of champagne flutes. Family members of a gallery worker took selfies in front of collages of Marilyn Monroe. An artist gestured wildly as she explained her piece — a cup of ramen with tentacles and eyes coming out of it.

“I feel like street art is the new voice,” said Sanger Russell, a Dumbo resident who was taking in the opening. “It’s a really cool voice, and I just feel like it’s kind of the future.”

“Blended” will be on view until May 1 at the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery, at 531 W. 25th St., Tuesday through SaturA piece by Pitch Black.
