    The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House of Representatives United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 March 20, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy: We are America’s travel industry, an economic sector that directly employs 9 million American workers and supports a total of 15.8 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.

  • 03- 115 Avenue C.Pdf
    115 Avenue C LLC d/b/a Apartment 13 CHEF JOHN KELLER Chef, John Keller, is a traditional chef working with contemporary influences. His versatility is evident in the multiple talents he brings to the field as chef, culinary consultant and media personality. John discovered his culinary identity at the age of 14 working as a busboy at a dinner theatre in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. At 18 years old, John traveled across country to Utah where he was introduced to gourmet cooking at The Aerie, a local award winning restaurant. Here, John’s culinary techniques were mentored and his taste for progressive cuisine was born. His penchant for good food and cooking steered him to New York City where he was classically trained at the New York Restaurant School. To pay for tuition, John worked at various restaurants including the internationally acclaimed Nobu. Soon after, John worked at the renowned Le Bernardin where he developed his philosophy of “simple and timeless recipes that showcase great ingredients” that influences his cooking today. In 2006, John Keller took the helm as Executive Chef at Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club, a chic French restaurant in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. John invented simple but artistic dishes with a focus on a passion for flavor and a reverence for comfort food. John continued to create his unique amalgam of innovative food at Co-Op Food & Drink and Viktor & Spoils at The Hotel on Rivington in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Presiding over the L.E.S.’s new hot spots with Chef de Cuisine George Nikolopoulos from Le Bernardin, Co-Op Food & Drink was ranked as one of the top 5 hot spots in NYC by open table during Keller’s tenure.

  • 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28
    HVS Hospitality Services : 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS Hospitality Services, in cooperation with New York University's Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the tenth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. A slight uptick in Manhattan’s occupancy level in 2006 led to a record high of 85.0%. Despite a virtually stable occupancy, the Manhattan lodging market registered a 13.4% increase in RevPAR compared to 2005, continuing its impressive performance. The market’s RevPAR gain was supported by double-digit growth in average rate each month of the year, with the exception of December, causing year-end 2006 average rate to exceed the 2005 level by 13.2%. The high rates registered by the Manhattan lodging market were caused primarily by continued strong demand levels in 2006, allowing hotel operators to be more selective with lower-rated demand and increasingly boost rates, thereby accommodating greater numbers of higher-rated travelers. We note that the market’s overall occupancy level of 85.0% in 2006 highlights the underlying strength of the Manhattan market, which continued to operate at near-maximum-capacity levels. Because of a further decline in supply in 2006, the market continued to experience many sell-out nights, causing a significant amount of demand to remain unaccommodated. Given the larger-than-ever construction pipeline in Manhattan, a substantial portion of previously unaccommodated demand is expected to be accommodated in the future. Manhattan’s marketwide occupancy and average rate both achieved new record levels in 2006, and we expect the positive trend to continue in 2007.
