Lower Fifth Avenue retail scene thriving after several high-profile leases, expansions
Manhattan’s retail scene is such a mixed bag as to defy generalization. The Real Estate Board of NY reports fewer available storefronts than last year and rising rents, but overall, conditions are all over the map. For example, Soho and Upper Madison Avenue are strong while Broadway on the Upper West Side resembles a wasteland of vacant spaces. One corridor that’s in excellent shape is often overlooked — Fifth Avenue between East 14th and East 23rd Streets, which doesn’t enjoy the global profile of its Midtown counterpart. The stretch is thriving with new leases and expansions. Newmark vice-chairman Ariel Schuster, a retail specialist for...

Historic Knickerbocker Greys youth group calls on lawmakers to step in as it faces eviction from Park Ave. Armory after 120 years
Hold the line! A historic New York youth group is calling on lawmakers to step in and save them from being evicted from the Upper East Side building they’ve called home for more than a century.

The Park Avenue Conservancy argues that it needs to boot the Grey’s from their space — an approximately 800-square-foot broom closet — because of renovations.

He is forgotten no more. An NYPD detective who was killed during a cigar store hold-up a century ago will finally receive the recognition he deserves Monday – when a headstone inscribed with his name and acknowledging his service is placed on the unmarked grave where he was buried.

While he founded the New York Initiative in 2009 as a team, he’s largely patrolled the city’s neighborhoods and subways alone since 2015 — four years after the group experienced an influx of new members following its appearance in the 2011 documentary film “Superheroes.” “I realized most [of the people who joined in 2011] just liked wearing spandex, and dressing...
