  • NEWS RELEASE Henry Street Settlement Responds to the COVID
    NEWS RELEASE Henry Street Settlement Responds to the COVID-19 Outbreak March 19, 2020 Contact: Barbara Kancelbaum, 718-744-5310 New York, N.Y. -- Henry Street Settlement is safely providing essential services to our neighbors on the Lower East Side and throughout New York City to help everyone remain healthy and access the resources they need to get through the COVID-19 outbreak. Because this crisis poses a particular threat to the many low-income New Yorkers whom Henry Street serves, the Settlement is actively providing food, connections to needed benefits, crucial information to stay safe, and emotional support. Details follow below. Henry Street’s core services never close. Our four transitional housing residences, two supportive housing buildings, Senior Center, Meals on Wheels, and the Community Consultation Center are continuing to provide essential services to our residents and participants, particularly those who are high risk. We have suspended services that bring large groups of people together and moved others online, from ESOL classes to instrumental music lessons. “Henry Street Settlement has been opening doors, listening to the needs of our community, and responding promptly and effectively for 127 years,” said David Garza, president and CEO. “From the outset of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been focusing on the health and safety of the community we serve, the protection and support of the team at Henry Street, and the continuity of our services and operations. Because of our long-standing role in caring for the most vulnerable New Yorkers, we now find ourselves at the epicenter of providing vital services, safety, and stability to our residents, clients, and participants at this critical time.

  • The Politics of Charter School Growth and Sustainability in Harlem
    REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM by Basil A. Smikle Jr. Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Basil A. Smikle Jr. All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM By Basil A. Smikle Jr. The complex and thorny relationship betWeen school-district leaders, sub-city political and community figures and teachers’ unions on the subject of charter schools- an interaction fraught with racially charged language and tactics steeped in civil rights-era mobilization - elicits skepticism about the motives of education reformers and their vieW of minority populations. In this study I unpack the local politics around tacit and overt racial appeals in support of NeW York City charter schools with particular attention to Harlem, NeW York and periods when the sustainability of these schools, and long-term education reforms, were endangered by changes in the political and legislative landscape. This dissertation ansWers tWo key questions: How did the Bloomberg-era governing coalition and charter advocates in NeW York City use their political influence and resources to expand and sustain charter schools as a sector; and how does a community with strong historic and cultural narratives around race, education and political activism, respond to attempts to enshrine externally organized school reforms? To ansWer these questions, I employ a case study analysis and rely on Regime Theory to tell the story of the Mayoral administration of Michael Bloomberg and the cadre of charter leaders, philanthropies and wealthy donors whose collective activity created a climate for growth of the sector.

  • Manhattan Retail Market MID-2ND QUARTER 2016 REPORT Retail Activity in the News
    Manhattan Retail Market MID-2ND QUARTER 2016 REPORT Retail Activity In The News Virtual Restaurant Business Revolutionizing Traditional Food Delivery The growing convenience of home food delivery through services such as Seamless and GrubHub has prompted the launch of what can be best described as “virtual restaurants.” One company Green Summit Group currently operates 2-kitchens and boasts 8 “restaurant” brands, yet is void of any storefronts. The business model is banking on the projection that most New York City dwellers won’t care or realize that the food is not being prepared in a traditional restaurant. Green Summit has eliminated the burden of managing retail spaces, while also further benef ting from its ability to shift menu items more quickly to cater to the fast-evolving preferences of consumers by creating another online-branded “restaurant” that appeals to the f avor of the moment. If a particular brand does not meet f nancial expectations it is easily scrapped, incurring a relatively low cost of failure. Currently in expansion mode, in addition to existing kitchens in Midtown and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Green Summit plans to open 4 additional kitchens in the Financial District, Downtown Brooklyn, the Upper East Side, and the East Village in 2016 in order to be within delivery range of 90% of New York’s online food-ordering population according to the company’s projections. Generating about $10 million in revenue in 2015, expansion plans are reportedly expected to triple revenue in 2016. Success of the company launched about 2 and a-half years ago may be short-lived in the opinion of some skeptics of the virtual model, pointing out that consumers want to engage with the restaurant brand.

  • LOWLINE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Karp Strategies with Replace Urban Studio Executive Summary
    LOWLINE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Karp Strategies with rePlace Urban Studio Executive Summary The Lowline is a plan to build a green public space in an abandoned underground trolley terminal in the Lower East Side. Innovative solar technology will bring sunlight below ground into this one acre site. The Lowline collaborated with a consultant team to conduct focused community engagement of Lower East Side residents, businesses, and organizations from October 2016 through June 2017. This team held over 15 outreach events, including large public workshops, small focus groups, and youth training sessions, and deployed a digital platform to collect feedback from those who could not attend in person. At the conclusion of this phase of outreach, over 108,860 people directly engaged with the Lowline via these outreach activities and the Lowline lab. The primary findings that emerged from this work reveal that participants envision the future site as: a community-driven, inclusive, and free space; a space with many green and natural elements that can offer an oasis from the streets above; and a place for technological and environmental education, with a focus on youth empowerment. Participants also want to continue to have a say in the Lowline’s future development, programming, and operations.

  • Sept 27 @ 7:30 PM the Beacon Theatre P. 7
    NEW YORK | SEPTEMBER 1 2017 | BRAZILIAN MUSIC FOUNDATION | ASUOS | EDITION#3 SEU JORGE Sept 27 @ 7:30 PM The Beacon Theatre P. 7 A TRIBUTE TO DAVID BOWIE EDITOR’S NOTE Dear friends, On September 7th we will be celebrating 195 years of Brazilian freedom, Independence Day, with lots of fanfare and excitement. “Brazil’s Independence was officially announced on the 7th of September 1822 from the hands of the Portuguese. Since then it has been a country. For ages Brazil has represented the great escape to a prehistoric, tropical heaven, igniting the Western imagination like no other South American country. Brazil had its unique attributes including having had a reigning monarch and an empire that boasts of a relatively bloodless independence from Portugal. Brazilians did not have to fight tooth and nail nor did they create any type revolt. The King himself declared in the Grito do Ipiranga, "By my blood, by my honor, and by God: I will make Brazil free" with the motto "Independence or Death!" Every year, thousands get together in a mad passion to proudly celebrate Brazilian Independence Day. A country of mythic proportions, people gather in the streets celebrating with banners, balloons and streamers. For those that do not know anything about Brazilian culture, here is an opportunity to go to one of the events, get in the green and yellow mood, and see the richness of Brazilian art and hear the variety of sounds, rhythms and styles that exist in our repertoire. Furthermore, I hope you just enjoy the magazine in general and support Brazilian Music Foundation’s mission, which is to promote, educate and advance Brazilian Music in the Americas.
