Happy 99th Birthday, Tudor City!! And you know what all New Yorkers say on a birthday…
“You don’t look a day over 98”
We are officially entering the Centennial year. I’ll be working on a few interviews to get people up to speed on what the plans are for the next year.
This week, though, you can rejoice. UNGA cole over. Cole. Not exactly sure how that word made it into my weird-word-usements, but pretty sure it harkens back to my upbringing years that were not in this city or on this coast. It’s a stand-in for “is”. Here’s an example: “Using that word, in that way, cole stupid.”
Anyways, pat yourselves on the back for surviving UNGA week intact. Now we can enjoy the Autumn. Commence the light-jacket weather.
One thing I want to note: Big thanks the Tudor City Greens for allowing the TCV advertisements/signs to stay up for a week. We are not supposed to do that, apparently. But as is with all TC residents, there is an innate benevolence, and they let it stand.
So my promotions will find other ways to get out there but if you are now subscribing to the updates, and you like what you are reading, please feel free to share these posts with your neighbors. I am striving to keep the happenings of our neighborhood at the forefront of this site so any sharing is appreciated.
Additionally, send me your updates or just comment on what you are reading! Interaction is encouraged and I will read everything that is sent.
CIVICALLYS
The Tudor City Greens Afternoon Tea has been rescheduled for Saturday, October 3rd. This is due to the full four-days of rain we had last weekend. The rain date is the following Saturday, the 10th.
The elections are coming up, in case you haven’t been inundated with all the information and spam texts. Here is the official list of who is running. If you want to read up on the issues, I found this article very helpful.
NYC Votes has a website to compare the candidates on each of the issues. I’ll repost this a few times.
The Halloween Dog Costume event date has changed… it’s now on Sunday, October 25th at 2 p.m. Start prepping your adorable animals.
The weather is shifting towards fall. Break out your super-rad sweatshirt or light-jacket.
TO DO
Gustavo Dudamel has started up the season with the New York Philharmonic. I’ll be at the Tuesday, September 29th performance of Mahler and Tania León.
On a different end of the spectrum, Public Image Ltd is performing at Webster Hall. Maybe Johnny Rotten will have something to say about last weekend’s Sex Pistols reunion. Most certainly, it will be positive.
And finally Gorillaz, Little Simz and Deltron 3030 will be at MSG on Tuesday, September 29th. Do not miss the opening acts. I am bummed to miss this, but ya know, Dudamel.
The City of Forest Day is happening in Staten Island on Saturday, October 3rd. It’s free, but you have to register.
RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK
Remi43. It’s always packed. I see lots of neighbors in and around there. Gotta keep it a buck, when it first went in, I was skeptical. I mean, that’s a lot of real estate for flowers and coffee. But the amount of people who are regulars in there are insane. I got a buddy in Sutton Place who rolls down specifically for Remi43 even though the other one is up on 48th.
That’s dedication. I also see neighbor regulars in there, so I can give it due props.
Now, the flowers. So beautiful. The person who is working the flowers is also super nice and helpful with suggestions. I will say, it’s gotta be a special occasion to go there just because the prices are… hmmm, shall we say “elevated”? But you know you are getting quality.
