Read the rest of Andrew Cotto’s latest “Little Rascal: An avant-garde neighborhood joint” article, which is linked in our bio.
“GREENPOINT — The New York State Public Servic “GREENPOINT — The New York State Public Service Commission issued a statement Thursday saying that Natural Grid’s gas vaporizers planned in Greenpoint are no longer necessary to meet peak demand.

As a result, the commission denied the company’s petition seeking cost recovery for the project.”

The scaffolding has been up for two and a half years, blocking views of the stately columns, lovely arches and dozens of lions heads for which the elegant hotel is known.”
