  • Highlights of What We Will Be Doing in NYC
    “Learning by Experience” LEGACIES OF NEW YORK: The MUNDO Fall Break Experience 2019 Highlights of what we will be doing in NYC John's of Times Square has been voted one of New York's best pizzas because of its unique characteristics. All pizzas are made to order in one of our four coal-fired brick ovens and like a cast iron pan, our ovens season with age, making no two pizzas the same. The 800 degree coal fired ovens have no thermostats to control heat and are operated by our pizza men who have gone through months of extensive training. We pride ourselves on our fresh ingredients and incomparable recipes, making our pizzas second to none. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum (also known as the 9/11 Memorial & Museum) is a memorial and museum in New York City commemorating the September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed 2,977 people, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six.[4] The memorial is located at the World Trade Center site, the former location of the Twin Towers that were destroyed during the September 11 attacks. It is operated by a non-profit institution whose mission is to raise funds for, program, and operate the memorial and museum at the World Trade Center site. A memorial was planned in the immediate aftermath of the attacks and destruction of the World Trade Center for the victims and those involved in rescue and recovery operations.[5] The winner of the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition was Israeli-American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects, a New York- and San Francisco-based firm.

No. 50 John Kuzmich, et al., Appellants, v. 50 Murray Street Acquisition LLC, Respondent. -------------------------------------------- No. 51 William T. West, et al., Appellants, v. B.C.R.E. - 90 West Street, LLC, Respondent, Lee Rosen, Defendant. Case No. 50: Robert S. Smith, for appellants. James M. McGuire, for respondent. Metropolitan Council on Housing; The Real Estate Board of New York, amici curiae. Case No. 51: Robert S. Smith, for appellants. Magda L. Cruz, for respondent. STEIN, J.: The question presented on these appeals is whether plaintiffs’ apartments, which are located in buildings receiving tax benefits pursuant to Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) § 421-g, are subject to the luxury deregulation provisions of the Rent Stabilization Law - 1 - - 2 - Nos. 50, 51 (RSL) (see generally Rent Stabilization Law of 1969 [Administrative Code of City of New York § 26-504.1]). We conclude that they are not and, therefore, reverse. I In each of these cases, plaintiffs are individual tenants of rented apartments located in lower Manhattan, which are owned by defendants, 50 Murray Street Acquisition LLC or B.C.R.E. – 90 West Street, LLC.1 Defendants have received certain tax benefits pursuant to section 421-g of the RPTL in connection with the conversion of their buildings from office space to residential use. In these actions, plaintiffs seek, among other things, a declaration that their apartments are subject to rent stabilization. Plaintiffs allege that defendants failed to treat the apartments as rent stabilized even though the receipt of benefits under RPTL 421-g is expressly conditioned upon the regulation of rents in the subject buildings.
