Release #26-03 The event also celebrated the contributions of the Cooper Square Task Force, a city-initiated collaboration between government agencies, community organizations, and elected officials, whose study and recommendations formed the basis for the transformation of the Cooper Square Urban Renewal Area, where Avalon Chrystie Place is now being constructed at a cost of $150 million.

Part of Park Avenue rises here to allow traffic to flow around Grand Central; underneath the overpass is the Pershing Square Central Cafe. 18 (corner): The oldest surviving townhouse in Manhattan, it was built sometime between 1785 and 1789--in Georgian mixed with foreshadowing of Federal style. home.nyc.rr.com /jkn/nysonglines/4av.htm   (1260 words)

village voice > nyclife > An Elegy for the Bowery by Joy Press By the early 19th century, fashionable entertainment spots like the Bowery Theater had popped up, as well as "pleasure resorts" such as Vauxhall Gardens (located on the block the Voice now occupies on Cooper Square), where locals could eat, drink, and take in music and fireworks. It slid so far down-market that in 1845, residents between what is now Cooper Square and Union Square successfully petitioned to have the street's name changed from Bowery to Fourth Avenue to separate themselves from its shabby aura. Erase all traces of the old Bowery and you lose a crucial facet of Manhattan, which always found room for the poor and desolate, not to mention the eccentric and debauched. www.villagevoice.com /nyclife/0509,bpress,61613,15.html   (2210 words)
