For a bit of history, this storefront is located on the Bloody Angle, one of the city's most notorious alleys in which many Chinese gangs shed blood throughout the 19th Century. by Abhishek Sanwa Limbu on Despite the mayhem which then existed, today, Nom Wah diners eat Unsplash on Unsplash classic siu mai and drink hot jasmine tea, just as it was done along the Silk Road hundreds of years ago. +1 212 962 6047 nomwah.com/chinatown/ [email protected] 13 Doyers Street, New York NY Lombardi's "America's First Pizzeria" In 1897 Gennaro Lombardi started selling tomato pies to workers from a humble storefront on Spring St. In 1905, he transformed it into what would become the first pizzeria in the United States. The original location closed in 1984, but the family reopened this pizzeria in 1994, right down the street. Inside, the magnificent, brick-oven pizza comes to your table the same way it did over a century ago. It's simple, crusty and much beloved by the locals and tourists. Needless to say, wait times on the weekends can be quite long and a line of people usually curves around the door. The ovens use classic ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, real Mozzarella di Bufala and if you are looking for a slice, look elsewhere because Lombardi's has historically never sold them.

    CONTACT: Laura Rankin Belle Communication [email protected] 614-304-1463 office Sophia Groome Fransmart [email protected] 703-842-5400 office NEWS RELEASE NYC’s Legendary The Halal Guys Inks Multi-Unit Deal, Fueling Rapid Expansion Across Canada The beloved American Halal concept is making its Western Canadian debut, bringing five new locations to the Calgary area CALGARY, CANADA (July 1, 2020) – The Halal Guys has signed a franchise deal to bring at least five new locations ​ to territories in Calgary, Canmore and Banff. This is the brand’s fifth international deal and third in Canada, building on existing locations in Toronto. The Halal Guys is the original creator of American Halal Food. The concept became a well-known New York City brand largely via word-of-mouth thanks to Muslim cab drivers in the 90’s who appreciated delicious, fresh and well-priced American Halal Food. This year, The Halal Guys will bring its quintessential New York City street cart food experience to the Calgary area for the first time. “The Halal Guys is a unique concept, and there is nothing like it in Canada. The demand for The Halal Guys is very strong here, and we are extremely excited to be opening in the greater Calgary area,” said franchisee owner Youssef El Sweify. “Our goal is to have the first restaurant open by Fall.” With a loyal fan base as diverse as their flavor palate, The Halal Guys currently operates 94 locations with more than 200 worldwide expansions in development. The Halal Guys is partnered with Fransmart, the industry leading franchise development company behind the ​ ​ -more- explosive growth of brands like Five Guys Burgers & Fries and QDOBA Mexican Grill, as their exclusive franchise development partner to grow the brand.

Stefano Giovannini; Stephen Yang; Tamara Beckwith Before the coronavirus pandemic hit New York, some 680,000 bodies milled around Midtown Manhattan for work and play each day — more than 10 times its nighttime population. That’s a lot of sad desk lunches. But as remote work policies remain in place for the bulk of the city’s desk jockeys, some devotees of urban fast-casual chains actually miss the grab-and-go lunches of pre-pandemic times. Broadway musician Mat Eisenstein, for example, used to order the Santa Fe salad from grab-and-go staple Fresh & Co. about three times a week. He longs for the Southwestern-style dish. “If I want to do that at home, I have to go to the supermarket and pick out all the diºerent vegetables, and also the chicken or the salmon,” said the 47-year-old father of two, who is currently based in Rutherford, NJ, and was most recently the assistant conductor of the musical “Frozen.” “It’s so convenient, especially for someone who is running around from a https://nypost.com/2020/08/24/how-to-make-your-favorite-nyc-office-lunch-at-home/ 1/9 8/26/2020 How to make your favorite NYC office lunch at home rehearsal to a performance.

    SkyHouse Main Tops Out Milestone Reached on Second Luxury Mixed-Use Project in Downtown Houston Houston (Dec. 11, 2015) – Batson-Cook Construction will ceremonially top-out SkyHouse Main today, meaning the 24th floor of the 24-floor, 338-unit luxury mixed-use building at 1725 Main Street has been reached. “We are very proud today of Batson-Cook Construction Company, who have built many quality high rise communities across the United States,” said Jim Borders, CEO of Novare Group. “SkyHouse Main continues our efforts to do our part toward creating a great neigh- borhood on the southwestern edge of Downtown.” SkyHouse Main is the second tower in the location, joining SkyHouse Houston, which opened last year. Atlanta-based Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Company along with local developer Peter Dienna are jointly developing the project, which will include 4,700 square-feet of street-level retail. SkyHouse Main is expected to open in the summer of 2016. Apartment homes will have floor-to-ceiling glass and nine-foot plus ceiling heights with high- end finishes, including stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, wood floors, expan- sive balconies and high speed internet. The market-leading amenity package includes the signature SkyHouse on the top floor including a club room, fitness center, pool, and grilling area, with unimpeded views of much of Houston. The project is within walking distance of more than 40 million square feet of office space, the Toyota Center, Minute Maid Park and BBVA Compass Stadium. The project will be steps from the Bell Station Metrorail stop, providing residents with excellent access via public transportation to the surrounding areas including a short ride to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world and a large economic driver within the Houston metro.

    Resource Assessment.Indd

    10 | Resource Assessment RESOURCE ASSESSMENT A resource assessment is a systematic way of gathering information that describes the resources and potential needs of a community. For a cultural arts master plan, this means understanding the existing population, cultural resources and physical organization of a place in order to make future decisions about cultural art investment, growth and the existing cultural art amenities that should be preserved and strengthened. There are many benefi ts to conducting a resource assessment: • Gather baseline data that can help with planning and evaluation. • Update demographic information for use in grant applications and for comparison to other cultural districts to understand the challenges and opportunities that are unique to Midtown. • Identify patterns in the location and quantity of cultural resources such as areas of overlap and areas lacking cultural resources. • Review the plans for future development and growth within the district to coordinate future cultural art investment. • Understand the physical connections between cultural arts amenities by identifying the pedestrian, bicycle, transit routes, wayfi nding signage and existing parking. • Identify existing public spaces, underdeveloped parcels and buildings that could be identifi ed as suitable locations for future cultural art investment. Midtown boasts 35 restaurants and entertainment venues, in addition to nearly 90 arts and culture venues. 11 MIDTOWN DISTRICT DEMOGRAPHICS POPULATION Population and employment speak to the general attractiveness of the District to residents, tourists and local businesses. These measures indicate overall economic development and can be used to compare Midtown with other cultural districts. Based Figure 3: Residential Population Figure 4: Employee Population on the 2015 population estimate from ESRI1, 9,818 people live in Midtown and 12,769 people work in Midtown.
