Recalling the subways’ past

To the Editor: “Down the Tracks,” Oliver E. Allen’s article about the demolition of the El in the Trib’s October issue, was a great trip down memory lane. The original BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corp.—today’s B, D, J, M, N, Q, R and Z lines) and IRT (Interboro Rapid Transit Corp.—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Franklin Ave. and Times Square shuttles) were constructed and managed by the private sector with no government operating subsidies. Financial viability was completely dependent upon farebox revenues. But as part of the franchise agreement that owners had to sign, City Hall had control over the fare structure.

For a while, owners actually made a profit with a five-cent fare. After 20 years, they asked City Hall for permission to raise the fares, in order to make more repairs, increase the frequency of service, purchase new subway cars, pay employee salary increases and support planned system expansion. For years, politicians more interested in the next reelection refused this request.

In order to survive, owners of both systems curtailed maintenance, delayed purchases of new subway cars, postponed salary increases and canceled plans for system expansion.

In the 1930s, NYC began building and financing construction of the new IND (Independent Subway System— today’s A, C, E, F and G lines) that was directly subsidized by taxpayer dollars and competed with both the IRT and BMT. The city forced them into economic ruin by denying them fare increases and eventually made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.

The owners folded and sold out to City Hall.

More to know about Tribeca Trust

To the Editor: Thank you for your recent article about the Tribeca Trust’s request to the Landmarks Preservation Commission for expansion of Tribeca’s historic districts.

Readers should know that the best argument for expansion might be found at www.tribecatrust.org. There, they can view a two-minute slide show of photographs entitled “What Happens When You Under-designate a Historic District? The Case of Tribeca.” Readers might also want to know that Community Board 1 issued a resolution in favor of historic district expansion and that organizations such as the

Landmarks Conservancy and Landmarks West! have written letters of support for this cause.

Interested Tribecans can see our website for photos of the blocks and buildings in Tribeca that merit inclusion in our historic districts. We also welcome new volunteers and supporters through our website links. This winter we will be organizing the republication of the wonderful book “Texture of Tribeca” by Professor Andrew Dolkart of Columbia University and organizing a conference on the future of Tribeca.

Residents Protest Court Move to Tribeca 4

NOVEMBER 2013 THE TRIBECA TRIB

Deputy mayor defends plan as benign, but sparks worries over probation office in FiDi

BY CARL GLASSMAN Nearly 100 people who live near the intended site of a summons court in Tribeca appeared at a Community Board 1 meeting last month to say, as one of them emphatically put it, “Not over here, not now, not ever.”

The city is shuffling many city agencies as part of the sale of two city buildings. With the transfer of 346 Broadway to a private developer, the displaced summons court is moving to 71 Thomas, at the corner of West Broadway, where a state civil court has been for 20 years.

The court that is moving in, officially known as the Summons Arraignment Part, adjudicates tickets issued by more than 40 city agencies and written for a gamut of offenses, from littering and bicycle riding on the sidewalk to marijuana possession, noise, and fighting. By far the most common summons is for public consumption of alcohol, according to the city’s statistics for 2012.

Although 346 Broadway is just three blocks from 71 Thomas Street, opponents argue that the Broadway site is far less residential, and they fear the additional crowds and the potential for crime that could come with it.

“This is 101 of what not to do to a neighborhood,” said Martin Vahtra of 60 Thomas St., who compared the court to the methadone clinics that disrupted communities in the 1960s and ’70s.

“This can rip the heart out of our street and our neighborhood.”

“These buildings are in the civic center for a reason,” said board member Tricia Joyce, who lives nearby on Duane Street. “There’s a civic center and then there’s the residential part of this neighborhood. Now they’re going to put condos in the civic center and, much to my fear, they’re trying to move city offices into a residential neighborhood.”

Opponents of the plan spoke in the public session at the beginning of the board meeting. A short time later, with

PHOTOS BY CARL GLASSMAN

the public session over and most of the group gone, Cas Holloway, deputy mayor for operations, who had overseen the move, along with several high-level city court officials, came before the board to give the city’s reasoning for the move. Their appearance came as a surprise to many in the room, and it was not clear why it had not been announced to the residents before they left.

“There’s been a lot said about what the 71 Thomas Street plan is, and a lot of it is not true,” Holloway said. “So I want to go through what the facts are.”

“We’d love it if you could come around to the administration’s way of thinking,” he added.

That didn’t happen, as CB1 later voted in opposition to the move. But

Above: At CB1 meeting last month, residents who live near 71 Thomas, left, show their numbers. Right: Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway tells CB1 that the reshuffling of court functions will be a benefit to Tribeca. Diagram shows how up to 250 people can queue inside 71 Thomas.

standing at a lectern on the bare 50th floor of the yet-to-open 4 World Trade Center, Holloway insisted that the board should see the move as benign once it was understood. The infractions the court handles are not criminal but “quality of life,” he noted. And unlike 346 Broadway, where people wait in long lines on Leonard to enter the building, the interior of 71 Thomas will be reconfigured to hold up to 250 people.

“That’s more than we think we will ever need,” said Holloway, who estimated the anticipated number of visitors to the court at 500 per day.

The board was also unpersuaded by Holloway’s noting that, as part of the deal negotiated with Councilwoman Margaret Chin and Borough President

Scott Stringer for their support of the buildings’ sales, a $20-million digital media center for youth will open at 346 Broadway.

In addition, Holloway pointed out, the convicted criminals who had been going to 346 Broadway for probation visits—as well as another court service—would be served elsewhere.

“All you’re going to be left with is a court for minor infractions, nine to five, Monday through Friday,” he said.

Where would the convicted criminals be going, Holloway was asked.

“Sixty-six John Street,” he replied, to a collective groan from board members, who also represent the Financial District.

“You know that area is the fastestgrowing residential area in Manhattan,” said Joel Kopel, noting the schools and children in the area. “So why would you want to put something that toxic there?”

Holloway said he was not prepared to talk about the probation office move that evening but would consider returning to the community board next month.

After the meeting, the Trib asked Holloway if the outpouring of objections to the summons court relocation, including 1,100 signatures to an online petition, could persuade him to change the plan.

“Unlikely,” he replied.

Boat at Pier 25 Is the Repeat Target of Intruder THE TRIBECA TRIB NOVEMBER 2013

BY CARL GLASSMAN These days, before she goes aboard the 1933 former Coast Guard steamship Lilac, moored at Tribeca’s Pier 25, Mary Habstritt first looks for broken windows.

Then once on the boat, she carefully peers into each room before entering. A newly purchased canister of pepper spray hangs from her belt.

Habstritt, who is the director of the historic museum boat, the Lilac Preservation Project, has been thinking hard about safety, following repeated breakins last month by a man who she and crew members fear will return again.

On the wall of the boat’s gyro room, where exhibit materials and a donation container are stored, are enlarged photographs of the man, Shawn Alexander, 41, made from photo IDs he left behind on one of his visits, according to Habstritt.

“The first time I discovered he’d been here I opened it up to get the sign boards out and, like, where’s the donation bottle?”

The container and its contents of $200 were gone, she said.

Then she found a door closed that’s always left open. And a missing door knob. And cigarette butts in the captain’s cabin. And the ship’s American flag, normally folded up, laying on a bunk.

A crawl space, always covered by a piece of plywood, was open. Habstritt knew she’d had an unwanted visitor— maybe still on board.

Left: Mary Habstritt on the Lilac, at Pier 25.

Inset: Photos of Shawn Alexander, are on the wall of a room he allegedly broke into.

“I grabbed my flashlight and pocket knife and stuck my head in the crawl space and looked around,” she recalled.

“And then I go, ‘This is really stupid. I should just call the police.’”

“That was the first time.”

Alexander returned five more times within less than two weeks, according to Habstritt.

Two days after the first break-in, Habstritt said, a volunteer with the River Project looked through the pilot house window and saw Alexander inside. She called the Park Enforcement Patrol and a PEP officer escorted Alexander off the boat, Habstritt said, but he returned in the

afternoon.

This time, as Habstritt put it, “he appeared to have quickly made himself at home.” A DVD player and flat-screen TV were set up on a counter, and a digital projector had been placed on a table.

Alexander was arrested. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of petit larceny, and two members of the boat staff were given orders of protection against him. Alexander was released the day of his hearing on the condition that he stay out of trouble and not violate the protection orders for a year.

According to Habstritt, Alexander also received a mental health assessment PHOTOS BY CARL GLASSMAN

after stating that his mother had bought him the ship.

That night, Habstritt said, Alexander walked up to the ship as Frank Hanavan, a volunteer supervisor, was closing up.

He left, only to break in the next night and sleep over. Habstritt said the boat’s engineer discovered him and called the police, but he escaped, this time leaving behind his wallet and IDs. The next night, Oct. 12, she said, Toby Young, who runs the Pier 25 concessions for Manhattan Youth, saw him trying to break in and called PEP. He got away again.

Alexander had not been seen on the pier since that last incident, as of Oct. 30, nor had he been arrested again, according to police.

Still, Habstritt remains cautious.

“I expect he’ll be back,” she said.

The Last to Leave Seaport’s Pier 17 Mall

Above left: German tourists Heike Moldenhauer and Jan Diehl ate the stand twice during their weeklong stay in New York.

Owners of Simply Seafood stay open to the bitter end, awaiting judge’s decision.

A sign in front of the Pier 17 entrance notifies visitors that the mall is closed except for Simply Seafood, which, as of late October, was still open for business on the third floor.

BY ALINE REYNOLDS AND CARL GLASSMAN

It was a fancy, blue carpet event that South Street Seaport developer Howard Hughes Corp. held last month to celebrate the groundbreaking at Pier 17, where the 28-year-old mall will soon be gutted to make way for a new waterfront shopping outlet. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, city officials and even members of the press were shuttled by golf cart the short distance from South Street to the mall’s entrance.

As Bloomberg walked through the all-but-shuttered pier building to get to the ceremony on the other side, a lone voice came from the second floor. It was John Demane, co-owner of Simply Seafood, a longstanding family food business that is the one holdout in the otherwise-deserted mall.

“I called out to him,” Demane later recounted, “‘Mayor Bloomberg, I’m a tenant in Pier 17—I have seven years left on my lease, and Howard Hughes is trying to kick me out. Can you do anything for the small businesses?’”

“He looked up and said, ‘I’ll look into it.’”

Despite the mayor’s promise, the wrecking ball is coming and the Demanes, John and his son Joseph, will probably soon be out.

The two men are in court with

Howard Hughes over a disputed lease agreement that the Demanes argue is in effect until 2020, but that the developer claims is invalid because of rent arrears.

“Although the lease agreement gave the company a 10-year lease term extension option,” a Hughes spokesman said in an email, “Simply Seafood was unable to exercise the option because it had breached several terms of the lease.”

According to the Demanes, the “breach” occurred in part because the Howard Hughes’s predecessor, General Growth Properties, failed to deposit their rent checks in 2005, and there is now a dispute over how much is owed.

Awaiting a judge’s decision, which they were told would be this month, the father and son have been keeping their fish stand open seven days a week, from 10 in the morning to 9 at night, in the eerie emptiness of the former food court.

There on the third floor, where there’s hardly a sound but for the hum of passengerless escalators, and where

deserted food stalls still beckon with pictures of lobster rolls, bubble tea and teriyaki, only Simply Seafood has remained open. Howard Hughes formally closed the mall on Sept. 9 but a sign at the entrance informs visitors that the eatery is still in business.

The Demanes’ lawyer has advised the owners to remain open or face claims of business abandonment and risk forfeiting their case.

“If the judge rules we have a lease and they can’t get us out, then I guess we sit here until they come and [negotiate] with me,” Joseph said. “Or the judge says, ‘You don’t have a lease, you have to get out,’ and I leave. What are you going to do?”

With the help of one other worker, the father and son sell a sampling from their menu—fish and chips, mussels and red snapper—to the 20 to 25 diners who find their way to the stand each day.

Between their loyal customers, the absence of competition, and a courtmandated low rent, the Demanes say they’ve even been turning a profit.

But for the elder Demane, 69, the

lawsuit, now in its ninth year, has taken its toll.

“I’d like to win,” he said, standing behind a refrigerated display case containing only a shrimp cocktail, crab sandwich and red snapper salad. “But at this point, I just want to get it over with.”

With plenty of time on his hands, John Demane said his thoughts turn to his wife in Florida, who he hadn’t seen for two months. “And I think about the aggravation of going day in and day out to court,” he added.

John Demane makes near-daily appearances at 111 Centre Street, where their drawn-out lawsuit is being adjudicated. If the ruling is in their favor, Howard Hughes will likely have to negotiate a buyout of the remaining seven years on their lease. According to a Hughes lawyer, the return of Simply Seafood to the new mall is out of the question.

If they lose, it will be the end of a family business that dates back to the mid-1940s, when John’s father started as a fish wholesaler on South Street. In 1983, the business moved to the Fulton Market Building, where they operated a fish store and a clam bar. In 1995 they moved to the pier.

“It was a good business but the last eight years have taken the fun out of it,” said John. “It’s just draining.”

“Your life’s on hold. You can’t plan anything,” Joseph said recently, as 9 p.m. approached and he prepared yet again to close up shop in the half-lit food court.

“It’s like being in purgatory. You’re just waiting to see what happens.”

the same time we feel that that move is not a radical stretch from the dormer language from the late 1800s. This is the claim we’re making.”

The resolution out of that committee slammed the roof design as “a jagged, rambling mess” that is “hard to fathom.”

But the committee also called most of the design “a handsome, clean and coherent structure” and advised the Landmarks Commission to approve the design if the roof were refashioned and the “bulbous bulkheads” on top were brought down.

(Bruce Ehrmann, who wrote the resolution, likened the bulkheads to “giant mounting points from which a helicopter could carry the buildings away.”)

That resolution didn’t sit well with the group that came out to speak against the project, some whom had told the committee earlier in the month that they worried about the impact of construction on hurricane damaged 17 White Street.

They condemned the entire design at the full board meeting, and called for a reconsideration of the plans.

“All we want to do is have a postponement so that we can understand what is being presented to us,” said Prudence Carlson of 17 White St. “From the first blush, it is completely non-contextual, in terms of character, materials and scale.”

The board voted to table the resolution, giving the residents more time to study the plans and meet with CB1’s Landmarks Committee on Nov. 7, in advance of the Landmarks Commission hearing.

The northern end would come to a point next to 17 White Street, a handsome 1868 apartment building with a mansard roof that inspired DDG to come up with mansard roofs of its own for the north and south penthouses.

The more prominent of the two penthouses, on the larger northern building, is grey and angular with a cantilevered second story that hangs over the apartment’s terrace.

“We unabashedly would like to make a modern building,” Guthrie said. “But at

Talking About Death

The first meeting of Death Café was held in London in 2011. Since then, there have been hundreds of these informal gatherings in Europe, the United States and Australia, during which people drink tea, eat cake and share their questions, concerns and experiences about any of the many aspects of death. The goal is to increase participants’ awareness of death and thereby enjoy their lives more. The free Death Café meets Nov. 18 at 74 Trinity Pl., 2nd floor (behind Trinity Church), from 7 to 9 p.m. and the third Monday of every month. To RSVP, go to community@trinitywallstreet.org. More information about the meetings is at deathcafe.com.

Tribeca is the best community.

I know this, because it’s my community too.

Tribeca and Lower Manhattan are about remarkable people, great resources and terrific homes. I know because I own here and have sold and rented here, and for more than three decades I have been part of the challenges and rebirth of Tribeca and the Financial District.

If you are thinking of buying, selling or renting, allow me to put my experience to your advantage. Selling Tribeca is the easiest part of my job. It would be my pleasure to meet with you and discuss your real estate needs.

Thinking Machines

by Sarah V. Schweig Today I will create a machine called Thinking Machines. It will be composed of simple machines. If it goes think, think, we will know that it is working.

If it speaks, I will see the point of speaking.

It is morning. Fellow citizens can see up

from the street the lamplight I work by casting itself democratically. I take a hammer to a plank because it’s not about emotion.

Here comes a man with his spaniels.

The spaniels are tethered to a leash.

This is a prototype of a desired quality, one I hope to emulate for Thinking Machines. In the forge, I forge his chest, manipulate materials with gleaming heat.

Thinking Machines will be a working machine. Over a gleaming screen, he’ll work, his body bent to the shape of a question.

And that sense of sheer inconsequence

I have this evening as I monkey-wrench Thinking Machines together, I hope likewise to install in him. This is freedom.

To think the project had been said to lack ambition! Hope, hope, go gears that turn silent in me. Thinking Machines is now completed. Behold! Think, think.

Thinking Machines is pledging allegiance.

DEV

Plugged in and pa

Now he is part of a larger machine.

We are settling down. We are settling, and I am preparing a beast for us to eat.

Across from each other we are seated, our hands in our respective laps in heaps.

We could speak but we are not speaking.

We could think but we are not thinking.

We behold gleaming screens where things are happening. What is happening?

I’ve been thinking. WhereTo Be is

a question, I must solve for the machine.

What is the point of Thinking Machines?

What is the meaning of our machinations?

I thought we’d speak. Can you hear me?

I thought we’d reach an understanding.

Now I take a hammer to creation because it’s not about emotion. One way to keep going is you just keep going.

“Thinking Machines,” by Sarah V. Schweig, is a poem commissioned by The Tribeca Trib in cooperation with Poets House.

“Thinking Machines,” a video collaboration by poet Sarah V. Schweig and photographer Carl Glassman, can be viewed at tribecatrib.com.

P.S. 234 graduates return to the place of their musical birth

BY JULIET HINDELL he season’s first rehearsal of the Downtown Alumni Band at P.S. 234 last month had a decidedly shaky start. But halfway through the evening, an air by 17th-century composer Henry Purcell finally became recognizable. And Matt Ragsdale, the school’s brass teacher and conductor, stopped to take note.

“This,” he said with obvious pleasure to his band of 13 middle school musicians, all P.S. 234 graduates, “is where the magic happens.”

Now in its fourth year, the Downtown Alumni Band was the brainchild of Ragsdale and Paul Vercesi, who have run the school’s PTA-funded music program since 2002. The band members had learned to play their instruments through the program.

“Many of our graduates wind up going to middle schools with limited or no music programs and they lose the opportunity to keep playing the instruments they played for two years here,” said Vercesi, who teaches woodwinds.

The teachers charge a small fee and students must bring their own instruments—hence a motley collection of the borrowed, inherited and brand-new, such as a cherished pocket trumpet and a bright blue trombone.

After some chitchat, the musicians took their places, and without preamble, Ragsdale launched them into the first measure of the Purcell air that he had arranged for them.

“Good sight-reading, everyone,” he told the group after the band’s enthusiastic if somewhat raucous start.

There followed some reminders of how to play G sharp on the trumpet and how far to push the trombone slide for an

A sharp.

Vercesi darted back and forth, now picking up a clarinet, now a saxophone, now counting over students’ shoulders and pointing out the correct measure.

There were false notes, missed beats and a much giggling. But soon the musicians got into their groove and were playing

more or less together and in tune.

“Now we have something that approaches music,” Ragsdale said.

Many of the kids conceded that they had not practiced in a while.

“I was a bit rusty, because I haven’t played since before the summer, really,” said Liza Bonomi, a trumpeter, before

executing a remarkably smooth number from “My Fair Lady.”

She then competed with two clarinetists to see who could hold a note the longest.

“When I left here I was sad to stop playing in a band,” said Aoife Schmitt, a clarinetist, and a 6th grader at Clinton School, which does not have a music program. “I don’t like playing alone.”

Some of the musicians, such as Louis Guilleman, a three-year band veteran and the sole flautist, must fit rehearsals into their busy schedules.

“On Mondays I have soccer practice,” explained Guilleman, an 8th grader at I.S. 289, “so then I have to rush back home, take a shower and then rush over here for the band.”

As the musicians packed up their instruments, Ragsdale gently offered one last piece of advice. “Practice a bit,” he told them. “I can show you how to play, but I can’t practice for you!”

Those Misconceptions About Teachers’ Workday KIDS

22

When families arrive at school in the morning, a bell rings—at our school it’s an old-fashioned brass bell rung by the principal—and like magic, teachers emerge from the building ready to lead the students into the classrooms.

Yes, there are children who believe that teachers live at school.

For some of them, it may CONNIE feel that way.

SCHRAFT As we all know, there is a mistaken assumption floating around that a teacher’s job is easy—a sixhour workday.

This is a misconception that continually SCHOOL needs to be disTALK pelled in our society.

Teachers generally arrive at least an hour before the start of school, and leave a few hours after the students are picked up, unless they are tutoring a child from another school—which many of them do to supplement their teacher’s salary. (It is against the chancellor’s regulations for a teacher to be paid to tutor a student at her own school.)

What do teachers do during those hours when they are alone in the class-

room?

As you can imagine, they are planning lessons and preparing materials for those lessons. They are making modifications based on the specific needs of each individual child in the classroom.

But picture this—a teacher wrestling with the office laminator or making 25 student books with the binding machine.

Some teachers have student teachers to help with these tasks, but more often than not it is the teacher herself who is painstakingly using the heavy-duty paper cutter that could amputate an arm to

child’s outside therapist, working to devise behavior plans that will be consistent at home and at school.

At monthly staff meetings and weekly in-school professional development sessions, teachers are continually called on to do something extra. Whether it is preparing their classes for the required safety drills, creating a class project for Operation Respect week or collecting innumerable forms and payments—there is always something more being added to the teachers’ plates.

This school year the new teacher

In the morning or after school, teachers respond to parent emails and phone calls, and may confer with their gradelevel colleagues on the logistics of a trip the next day.

They might also stand in line outside the principal’s office for a chance to discuss a particular child or situation with an expert.

Teachers have been known to spend an hour or more on the phone with a

effectiveness program has gone into effect, which affects every teacher in the city.

By the end of October, each of them had to meet with a principal or assistant principal for an IPC (initial planning conference). At that meeting, they had to choose which option they preferred for the year’s observations.

Option 1 calls for one formal observation and three informal and unannounced observations, while Option 2 consists of six informal, unannounced

observations. Each observation, which must last at least 15 minutes, will be followed by a conference.

At the observations, all 22 components of a teacher effectiveness rubric must be rated, whether observable or not.

The ratings are Highly Effective, Effective, Developing, or Ineffective. The ratings will eventually be entered into a computer program, which will calculate the teacher’s ultimate grade based on the observations and students’ test scores.

It is the principal (and assistant principal, if there is one) who conduct these observations and conferences, and follow up with written reports. (It is hard enough to describe the process, let alone perform all the required time-sensitive work.)

There is now also an APPR (Annual Principal Performance Review) for the principal, entailing two unannounced visits by the district superintendent, who will be completing his own rubric to evaluate how the school is running. He can ask to visit any classroom he wishes—the room of a new teacher, a struggling teacher, or a science teacher— again, unannounced.

Fortunately, there has been no movement to evaluate New York City’s parent coordinators.

Not yet, anyway.

A Supper Club, Vegan Style ARTS

28

At age 24, Daphne Cheng is the proprietor and chef of Suite ThreeOhSix, a vegan supper club that she began in May at 59 Franklin St. Guests pay $59-$79 for a one-of-a-kind, five- to seven-course vegan dinner. She spoke about her culinary life to the Trib’s April Koral.

I think about food pretty much one hundred percent of my waking hours, and probably in my sleep, also.

I went to UC Berkeley for a year and dropped out after figuring out that was not the direction I wanted to go in life.

My sister was in New York and she told me about a culinary school that was a year program. So I moved to New York and went there.

The supper club started out one night a week for 16 people. Now it’s grown to two nights a week for 24 people each night. I’m pretty confident in general, but there is always a fear that people aren't going to like what you serve. Sometimes if it’s a very quiet room, I get concerned because I don’t know whether they’re enjoying it.

Most times it’s not until I go to the market that I decide what to serve. I’m mostly inspired by what I see. Recently, I saw kale and snow fungus and I thought they would be really interesting together because they have a similar curly look and would play on each other.

When I’m creating a dish, I can imagine what it tastes like in my head.

NOVEMBER 2013 THE TRIBECA TRIB

Above left: Daphne Cheng preparing for a supper. Above: A recent dinner. Dishes, left to right: seaweed caviar, truffled ricotta, shiitake bacon, herb oil and phyllo shells; napa cabbage, celery, amaranth greens, toasted buckwheat and ginger aioli; sweet pea mousse, ground almonds, smoked balsamic and pea shoots.

Even though I haven’t had dairy in eight or nine years, I like to recreate it because I loved cheese and yogurt. For example, I make a roasted cauliflower dish with house-made yogurt made of almond milk and arrowroot that creates the same flavor and texture and mouth-feel that I remember from dairy yogurt.

For the supper club, I mostly only try the individual components, not the whole dish. I don’t really experience that until my staff and I eat together at the end.

Sometimes I’m surprised at how good it is, better than I actually imagined and that’s a great thing. Then sometimes I feel like I could have done a lot better.

Happy Happy

I was anorexic for a few years when I was a teenager. I wouldn’t eat over 500 calories a day. It was definitely a mental disorder. A lot of people blame eating disorders on the media and images of very skinny models, but for me it was more about being perfect and having a very warped view of my body.

What got me out of it was I saw a picture of myself and I was just freaked. My face was sunken and you could see bones everywhere. That’s when I became vegan, which really helped me because food wasn’t the enemy anymore. I learned that food can be nourishing, and

didn’t have to be something fattening

and make you feel guilty.

Deep down I want people to become vegan, but I’m not going to be in your face with animal rights and environmental stats. I’m mostly here to show you that vegetables are delicious in their own right and hopefully you’ll incorporate more in your diet, and by default that means less meat.

I cooked meat once in my life when I still ate it. I thought it shouldn’t be that big of a deal, but I was pretty grossed out by the whole experience. I wouldn’t be a chef if I weren’t vegan.

A Marie Antoinette, Up Close and Very Personal ARTS

THE TRIBECA TRIB NOVEMBER 2013

BY JULIET HINDELL OMG, awkward! Marie Antoinette, like, literally told a room of 70 people why she and Louis aren’t pregnant yet.

TMI. Such is the tone of the opening act of Soho Rep’s lively production of “Marie Antoinette.” David Adjmi’s play is history seen through a lens of our celebrityobsessed age that portrays the last French queen as an apparent soulmate of the likes of Paris Hilton and Miley Cyrus.

The production on Walker Street is a pared-down interpretation of the play first seen on big stages with room for big sets and big wigs at the American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Mass., and the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven. But the Soho Rep version, still directed by Rebecca Taichman, packs a powerful punch with Marin Ireland, who also appeared at Yale, playing an unforPAVEL ANTONOV gettable Marie Antoinette as a queen who speaks with the slack-jawed inflection so Marin Ireland in the role of Marie Antoinette and Karl Miller as Joseph/Mr. Sauce. typical of the entitled of our age. is by turns funny, outrageous, poignant complete with sheep that talk.

big hair, “Three feet of hair is a workout I must say; I get neck aches,” she opines.

She henpecks her husband, Louis XVI, endearingly played by Steven Rattazzi. The king is obsessed with clocks but completely out of sync with his people. In this version of history, it takes a visit from Marie Antoinette’s brother to force the issue of why there are still no heirs.

The play races through the monarchy’s demise, and the rise of the people to the royal family’s hapless attempt to escape disguised as farmers, allowing Marie to reflect again on her love of nature. Here Ireland’s questioning of a shopkeeper is the epitome of clueless condescension, which will be cringingly familiar to anyone not entrenched in the one percent.

Later in prison, she is finally divested of her fine clothes, her hair chopped off in preparation for the execution. She seems to take comfort in the idea that her fame will outlive her and that she will be a celebrity for all time.

“But then I became the stuff of history,” she says.

David Adjmi is beginning a threeyear residency at the Soho Rep. “Marie Antoinette” is a promising debut.

“Marie Antoinette” runs through Nov. 24. Soho Rep, 46 Walker St., 212941-8632, sohorep.org. Tues–Sun, 7:30 pm, plus a 3 pm matinee on Saturdays.
