This application for a zoning text amendment was filed by Jamestown Premier Chelsea Market, LP on December 20, 2011.

RELATED ACTIONS In addition to the amendment of the Zoning Text, which is the subject of this report, implementation of the proposal also requires action by the City Planning Commission on the following application which is being considered concurrently with this application: C 120143 ZMM Zoning Map amendment to include the subject block in the Special West Chelsea District (WCh).

    Israel Through the Lens of New York City

    Letter from Hope Chernak, RJE [email protected] Dear Educator, Just over six months, I started working on my final project for the Center for Israel Education’s Certificate Program in Israel Education. My main goal was to go out into New York City and see where I could find places that represent Israel to help with my educational program for Youth and Israel Education at Shaaray Tefila. My planning included looking for specific places such as a museum or the Consulate General of Israel to everyday places such a flag in front of a major department store or a restaurant. After collecting all the these items, I created a guide for a person or a group to explore New York City at their own pace to ,uncover some of the incredible ways Israel is portrayed in New York City. Many of locations are obvious while other locations and places will take an explorer through a deeper examination of how Israel has found its way into the city. the You and/or participants will become explorers of New York City using a different lens. You will be walking the streets of New York City not as a tourist, but as a seeker of how Israel is connected today, in 2016 with a city in the Diaspora. , This document includes ready to go activities (e.g. museum scavenger hunt), program logistics, background material and overall project rationale (which was based on other projects I created for Shaaray Tefila’s Informal Education program and adapted for this project). This resource is a work in progress as new places pop up and others close down in NYC.

    OREO PUTS NEW SPIN ON ICONIC DUNKING RITUAL WITH LAUNCH OF OREO DUNK CHALLENGE World’s No. 1 Cookie Kicks off Series of Innovative Dunks around the World with Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal and Hands-Free OREO Cookie Dunking in New York City NEW YORK -- Feb. 8, 2017 – Today, OREO – the world’s No. 1 cookie1 – launched the OREO Dunk Challenge, a global celebration of the brand’s iconic dunking ritual. The campaign kicks off in the U.S. and will roll out to more than 50 countries around the world as part of the OREO brand’s ongoing Wonderfilled movement. The OREO Dunk Challenge will feature a trio of high-profile dunkers, including International Recording Artist Christina Aguilera, Brazilian football star Neymar da Silva Santo, Jr. and Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille “Shaq” O’Neal. Shaq and fans will do the first official dunks of the campaign today at the birthplace of the OREO cookie in New York City. OREO cookies and milk have gone together for many years -- and not just because they are a delicious dunking duo. Dunking an OREO cookie in milk has always been a fun way to create a playful moment that reminds us how extraordinarily special it can be to feel and wonder like a kid. “OREO sees the world with childlike wonder and our iconic dunking ritual is the purest articulation of that vision,” said Justin Parnell, Global Brand Director, OREO. “When you dunk an OREO cookie in milk, you’re releasing a bit of childlike wonder from within, and it’s those types of moments that our brand was built on.

International borders closed and domestic travel froze. Meetings, conventions and public events were postponed or canceled. Restaurants, retail stores, theaters, cultural institutions and sports arenas shuttered. Hotels closed or transitioned from welcoming guests to housing emergency and frontline workers. While we effectively minimized the spread of Covid-19 in New York City, thousands of our loved ones, friends, neighbors and colleagues have lost their lives to the virus. Our city feels, and is, changed. 2 13 We launched The Coalition for NYC our city’s story anew. As in every great New Hospitality & Tourism Recovery in May York story, the protagonists have a deep 2020 to bring together all sectors of our sense of purpose and must work to achieve visitor economy to drive and aid recovery.
