letter !"#$ &'( )*+&#",
We all know the Lower East Side is rapidly
changing. Businesses open and close so quickly
its tough to keep up with the comings and
goings. But a few things are constant: the
continued presence of the beloved Katzs
Delicatessen is one of them. In this months
issue, we take a look at this one-of-a-kind
institution thats been feeding locals and visitors
alike for 125 years. Katzs wont be around
forever nothing will be but today its thriving.
So as the deli celebrates a major milestone, our
cover story pays tribute to a place where
tradition still prevails. Speaking of longevity,
weve been following the effort to rescue
possible Revolutionary War relics from a building
on the Bowery. If you havent been following this
intriguing story on our website, we have a recap
in the magazine. Also in this issue, we look at
some of the new vendors at the Essex Street
Market and review the month of Banksy in New
York. Here at The Lo-Down, were already
working on a special edition for December/
January. Its a Best of the LES, issue,
highlighting some of our (and our readers)
favorite restaurants and food purveyors. Happy
holidays from all of us at TLD.

cessible both to the avid collector and the casual fan of street

real estate
Five commercial buildings changed hands recently on the LESs hot real estate
market. In one high-prole transaction, an apartment building at 193-195 Stanton St. sold for
$20.3 million in early October, closing one part of an original four-property, $40-million deal
between buyer Croman Real Estate and Jane Holzer, an Andy Warhol muse. Elsewhere on the
LES, a 12,000-square-foot residential building with 21 apartments and three ground-floor retail
spaces at 85 Pitt St., near Rivington, sold for $7.4 million. Two ve-story tenement properties,
40 E. Broadway in Chinatown and 281 Grand St., also sold, at $5.9 million and $8.5 million,
respectively. The building at 40 E. Broadway is just over 10,000 square feet and has retail spaces
on the rst two floors; it last changed hands in 2002 for $2.7 million. The Grand Street building
is 15,600 square feet, and is right next to 283-285 Grand St., a glassy new commercial building
that was built on the site of a tenement building destroyed by re in 2010. And over on Allen
Street, real estate magnate Samy Mahfar of SMAEquities in Great Neck acquired yet another
Lower East Side building, purchasing 99 Allen St. for $4.4 million. (Companies controlled by
Mahfar have been picking up commercial real estate all over the neighborhood, including buying
the building at 210 Rivington St., right next door to 85 Pitt St., this summer for $7.6 million.)
Eleven people were indicted following a 21-month
drug investigation at the Jacob Riis Houses, District
Attorney Cy Vance announced Oct. 15. The narcotics
tracking organization possessed and sold street-level
crack cocaine, as well as larger, resale quantities of the
drug,according to the DAs statement. The indictments
resulted from undercover operations, physical surveillance
and court-authorized electronic eavesdroppingat locations
in and around the Riis Houses, located at East Eighth Street and Avenue D. Dwayne Mitchell, 35, is
accused of leading the organization, having bought wholesale quantities of crack cocainefrom
another suspect, Sabed Rahman, 29, who was the chief supplier, according to the indictment. The
two men are charged with conspiracy, criminal sale of a controlled substance and money laundering,
among other charges. The other nine suspects charged in connection with the case are: Felix Benitez,
Edith Gutierrez, Charles Laboy, Anthony Martin, Jason Martin, Fatima Owens, Eric Ray, Ronald Williams
and Craig Witter, all Manhattan residents.

Noahs Ark Deli, a kosher mainstay at 399 Grand St., is
facing eviction. The deli had closed for the Jewish holidays in
early September, and the sta was cautioned then that it may not
reopen. On Oct. 11, a notice was posted on the front door by court
ocials, ordering the restaurant to vacate the premises. The deli,
which opened in 2003, was the only full-service kosher restaurant
remaining on the Lower East Side. Its landlord is the Seward Park
Cooperative, which had struggled during the past few years to
collect rent from the business. The owner of Noahs Ark, Noam
Sokolow, who also operates restaurants in Teaneck, N.J., had been
attempting to sell the LES restaurant for some time. Sokolow did
not respond to requests for comment by The Lo-Down.
State authorities have given a green light for the private global members club Soho House
to open a Lower East Side location, to be known as Ludlow House, at 139 Ludlow St. The
Oct. 22 decision eectively ended a battle that spanned most of this year and pitted the club owners
against a group of neighborhood residents. It means Soho House can now begin construction to restore
a building it purchased in 2012; the renovations are expected to take about a year. The organizations
attorney intimated that Soho House is willing to work with local preservationists to secure landmark
status for the 1930 property, which features a beautiful Gothic-style facade. The State Liquor Authority,
responding to one primary concern of the neighbors, declined to approve the consumption of liquor on
the outdoor portion of a proposed fth-floor roof deck. The authority also imposed a 6 p.m. closing time
for the space. Throughout the yearlong debate, Soho House representatives touted the club as a place
where creative people can interact and network. Highlighting support from the Lower East Side BID, the
clubs attorney also talked up its potential as a daytime destination that would benet struggling local
businesses. The club agreed to donate a 4,300-square-foot space in the basement to the Educational
Alliance. Ludlow Houses approval was the largest of several other developments on Ludlow Street last
month. In related news, veteran music venue The Living Room closed at the end of October, while news
broke that the new hotel at 180 Ludlow St. would include a restaurant from the high-prole team behind
Torrisi and Parm.
Trafc backs up on Grand Street.

The prolific and influential singer/song-
writer who founded The Modern Lovers
is in New York with his favorite drummer
for two nights. Many credit The Modern
Lovers, founded in the early 1970s, for
helping lay the groundwork for punk rock.
Artists as diverse as the Sex Pistols, Joan
Jett, David Bowie and Velvet Under-
ground founding member John Cale
have covered the band. Larkins later work
is known for setting the tone for many
alternative rock bands, such as Violent
Femmes, Galaxie 500 and They Might Be
Giants. His loyal fanbase has only grown stronger over the years, helped along by his promi-
nent appearance in the 1998 film comedy smash Theres Something About Mary. After touring
internationally for so many years, Richmans music has absorbed a multitude of influences, but
his refreshingly straightforward songs remain untainted by cynicism, and his boundless sense of
humor remains intact. Also Sat., Nov. 23. 6 Delancey St., 9:30 p.m., $18, boweryballroom.com.

Building a shiny, modern new home for the
73-year-old Essex Street Market is a cornerstone
of the urban redevelopment plan that will reshape
the Lower East Side landscape over the next de-
cade. The new market will be twice as large, with
brand-new infrastructure and state-of-the-art ame-
nities for both vendors and patrons.
But the impending relocation, which is roughly
five years away, doesnt in any way mean the mar-
ket is going into stasis. In fact, just the opposite:
business is booming. Two new vendors have
opened in newly created spaces; two more new
vendors will launch between now and the end of
the year; and one existing vendor is expanding to
larger digs.
Essex Street Market is more vibrant than it has
been in decades, offering some of the citys most
inspired local fare alongside good grocery staples
to Lower East Siders and visitors alike, said Kate
Blumm, a spokeswoman for the markets landlord,
the citys Economic Development Corp.
Artisanal ice cream maker Luca & Bosco de-
buted in early September, just inside the northern
entrance. Luca & Bosco serves scoops and pints
to go, in flavors like lemon cheesecake and a New
Orleans-inspired drunk and salty caramel, as
well as hot chocolate, which is available with or
without ice cream on top. Proprietors Catherine
Oddenino and Ruthie Vishlitzky got their start at
street fairs and pop-up festivals while working out
of an incubator kitchen at Harlems La Marqueta;
Essex Street is their first permanent spot.
A month later, on Oct. 10, Davidovich Bakery,
a 15-year-old bagel wholesaler in Queens, broke
new ground of its own on Essex Street, open-
ing its inaugural retail outlet. It sells hand-rolled,
kettle-boiled, kosher bagels as both ready-to-eat
sandwiches and by the dozen, as well as a variety
of other baked goods and very good coffee. The
coffee isnt a coincidence: manager Guy Puglia ran
the East Villages beloved coffee shop The Bean
for a decade. His new gig had him smiling ear-to-
ear on opening day.
This market is amazing, he said. Its not just
the customers who are great, but also everyone
who works here, everyone looks out for each other.

The Davidovich stall, in the northeastern corner
of the market, and the Luca & Bosco cart bracket a
new and improved seating area. Old booths have
been replaced with caf tables and chairs that offer
a larger number of seats in a more flexible layout.
Just around the corner, the gates will go up
on yet another new business this month, when a
soup vendor called Peasant Stock opens. Propri-
etor Christine Juritsche, a 20-year-veteran of the
restaurant management business, says she al-
ways wanted to do something behind the stove.
Peasant Stock will offer four to six varieties of soup
daily, in 12-ounce and 16-ounce servings and
take-home quarts. Chicken soup will be a staple,
though the menu will change daily, based on sea-
sonal ingredients she plans to source primarily at
farmers markets and local purveyors, including
her new neighbor, Heritage Meats.
Juritsche discovered Essex Street Market a few
years ago, when she went in search of a particular
kind of cheese that Saxelby Cheesemongers car-
ried. She fell in love with the notion of someday
running her own business there.
Im creating my dream job, she said.
By the end of the year, a fourth and as-yet-un-
named business is expected to move into a stall
next to Heritage Meats, which downsized a while
back and vacated part of its space; a lease was un-
der negotiation as of press time.
And finally, Porto Rico Importing Co. plans to
expand its market presence with the addition of a
coffee roaster. The coffee shop, which sells brewed
coffee, bulk beans and java-making accessories,
plans to shift from its current tiny retail booth to a
larger space being vacated by Roni-Sues Choco-
lates. Roni-Sues, which graduated to an indepen-
dent storefront at 148 Forsyth St. last month, will
swap, establishing a smaller, retail-only shop in the
former Porto Rico spot.
When the next-generation Essex Street Mar-
ket eventually opens around the corner along the
south side of Delancey Street, all of the existing
vendors will get spaces, at rent levels comparable
to what they are paying at the time, and the city
will pay their relocation expenses a deal that was
negotiated with the redevelopment proposal.
But until the moving trucks show up, its full
steam ahead in the old building.
We will continue to support a diverse mix of
vendors at the market in the coming years, and
look forward to seeing the market continue to give
local food-makers a highly visible stage to share
their talents, Blumm said.

pushed our residents to stay active on the tenants
association and community board.
Whats your favorite spot on the LES and
why?
My favorite meeting spot has always been Tomp-
kins Square Park. I remember swimming in the pool
there as a kid. Taking my boys there on playdates
and having lunch with friends.
Favorite cheap eats?
My favorite cheap eats and reading zone is the Na-
tive Bean on Avenue A and East Third Street.
Favorite place for a special night?
My favorite place to hang has been BOHO Kara-
oke on Orchard. I can unwind and sing some old
school tunes without judgments. Im no American
Idol, but I can hold my own. Oh, and the wings at
One and One are yummy.
How have you seen the neighborhood
change?
I have seen so many changes in this community!
The buildings are a lot taller. The supermarkets are
very expensive. Most of the mom-and-pop stores
are gone (due to rent increases). I have seen an in-
crease in nightlife activity; meaning every block
seems to house a bar or lounge. Youth involvement,
especially teens, has decreased. There are very lim-
ited Friday and Saturday night safe spaces for our
teens. Housing is no longer affordable; rent goes up
but not income. Churches are being knocked down.
There are overcrowded clinics that dont provide
enough extended hours or affordable prices for
low-income, working people. And 7-Eleven has
come to the LES!
What do you miss from the old LES?
What I miss most are the family-style restaurants and
diners.
Is there a new arrival you love?
There is a new boutique that just opened up down
the street from me: Curvaceous K on Stanton off Clin-
ton Street. Hip, fresh clothing for the plus-size ladies.
Im a big girl and I like to look fresh! Lol!
What drives you crazy about the neighbor-
hood?
I dont like people that disrespect our community.
I dont like the people that use us and throw us
away, the ones that vomit and urinate on our
streets and leave. I dont like people that block the
sidewalks while they wait in line for a bar or restau-
rants. Lastly, I dont like people that dont get in-
volved in something; if youve live here and have
kids here, it affects you.
Whats the strangest thing youve ever
seen on the LES?
Whats the strangest thing Ive ever seen? Please,
its the Lower East Side, and its all strange! Gotta
love it!

Whos the best neighborhood character
youve met and why?
I actually have two characters: Mr. Purple: he
owned a building and garden on Forsyth Street
and lost it to the city developers. He taught me to
appreciate the gardens in my community. Every
time we went into his garden, we had to hug the
big tree. My friend and mentor: Marie Christo-
pher, tenants association president of 210 Stan-
ton and community activist. She taught me how to
fight without using my fist. She told me the only
way to get my landlord to respect me was to get
educated on the HUD rules and regulations. We
lost her this year.
Tell us your best LES memory.
My mom, Brenda Lewis, worked on what was
going to be our home at 66 Ave. C. She was a
homesteader. My mom couldnt afford childcare,
so she found an older woman, Sara Farley, to su-
pervise us. Ms. Sara was an African-American
woman that held the history of the LES down on
East Sixth Street. She would come up with creative
ways to keep me and my brothers busy. One was
working on Jesse Jacksons campaign for presi-
dent. Me and my brothers rode on his float and
handed out flyers all over the LES. We felt like ce-
lebrities.
nosed with stage-two breast cancer in 2010. Lost
both breasts and underwent a year of chemother-
apy. I am still on a daily med for five years, but in
remission. I was a site coordinator for University
Settlement (a Lower East Side nonprofit), after-
school/summer camp, which was one of their first
sites in Brooklyn.
Tell us about your apartment - the good,
the bad and the ugly.
I have lived in the Thelma Burdick Apartments (aka
10 Stanton St.) since August, 1985. We are a Sec-
tion 8 project, which means the rent goes accord-
ing to 30 percent of your household income.
When we moved into our building, it was like
heaven However, times got hard and manage-
ment changed. We (tenants association and resi-
dents) have to fight for every little thing. Its down
to the basic necessities at times: stoves, refrigera-
tors, heat and hot water. Repairs take months to
complete. Our community rooms had to be nego-
tiated to be returned for use of the residents... We
lost our backyard to developers. However, it has
How long have you lived on the Lower
East Side?
I have lived on the LES for more than 30 years.
Why did you move here or (if you were
born here) why did you stay?
My parents moved here in the 70s because, as my
mom said, its a community that accepts you as
you are. My mom was mixed, so she felt comfort-
able down here more so than in the predomi-
nately African-American communities where my
other family members lived. I stayed for my sib-
lings; they have special needs and this neighbor-
hood is a familiar place to call home.
What do you do?
I am currently in the healing process. I was diag-
