RIP Super Linda
Update December 12, 2013- We predicted the demise of Super Linda back in February with our title “RIP Super Linda”. We see dead people, so to speak.
Sure enough, it is official. Eater reports, “Tribeca Latin restaurant Super Linda is closing after service on Friday. The Super Linda team sends along the following statement: “Lou Ceruzzi has decided to close Super Linda, the Latin grill in Tribeca. He and his partners are excited to bring a new concept, already in the works, to the neighborhood.” As you may recall, Matt Abramcyk and Serge Becker opened this restaurant with a handful of other partners two years ago. Now it sounds like Ceruzzi is in charge. The critics ignored Super Linda, but it had a fun bar and some good food.”
Update February 22, 2013- Super Linda is now mostly devoid of interesting people since the host, Chris, has left for another job. What remains is a Tribeca dudefest, outnumbering the ladies 20 to 1, and wannabe pretentious bearded hipster bartenders who tweet and chat as you wait, then serve you, if they feel like it. With the additional loss of nearby Duane Park, Tribeca is back to being sorely in need of entertainment after 10:00 PM. Continue reading

Tribeca, still lame after 9:00 PM one year later

We City Biked to Reade Street, quickly determining that Weather Up was a 6:1 D-bag to girl ratio, and the old Duane Park had left town completely, apparently fed up with the challenges of running a cool Continue reading

Exclusive: Mehiel’s BPCA administration hires a record 18 staff in one year
November 16, 2013– By Steven E. Greer
BatteryPark.TV has previous and exclusively reported on the mass firing of 19 veteran staff by the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) under then-Chairman Bill Thompson and CEO Gayle Horwitz. After the current BPCA administration took over, led by Chairman and CEO Dennis Mehiel, many more staff have been forced into retirement and fired (The BPCA is refusing to give details on exactly how many). Those actions triggered an internal investigation over allegations of employee harassment and abuse. Subsequently, the President of the BPCA, Demitri Boutris, abruptly resigned, and disgruntled BPCA staff sent letters to BP.TV claiming that the Mehiel administration was firing old staff and replacing them with his own “Greek cronies”.
To investigate whether the rumors that the Mehiel administration was turning the BPCA into his own “Greek fiefdom” were true, BP.TV issued a FOIL request of the names and salaries of all of the newly hired staff since Mehiel was appointed Chairman/CEO of the BPCA. The FOIL was made in Continue reading

The BS still refuses to post correction on Banksy story
January 15, 2014- Apparently doubling down in their mistake hoping to revise history with propaganda, the Broadsheet (BS) is still refusing to acknowledge that the painted over fake Banksy was a fake. Today, and every day for weeks, the BS is anonymously posting, “White Out: Weeks after acclaimed (and anonymous) street artist Banksy allegedly emblazoned a FiDi wall (below) with his trademark stencil work, the piece had been erased by a field of fresh white paint (above). Whether Banksy was one-upped by acolytes of Kazimir Malevich or Barnett Newman, or a unionized maintenance worker, we will ask you to decide…”
Caroline Press and Matt Fenton are listed as the BS editors.
December 19, 2013- The fake Banksy was painted over.
November 6, 2013- In an astonishing gaffe, the Broadsheet (BS) has reported on multiple occasions that the publicity stunt on Greenwich Street adjacent to the 3LD performing arts center is a genuine piece of Banksy art. On Monday, “Pulitzer” Matt Fenton posted his first incorrect story. Fine, people make mistakes. However, then again on Wednesday, he doubled down, asserting again that the artwork was authentic.
On November 6th, Mr. Fenton wrote, Continue reading
