These snippets lend a softer light to the
Live Above
world of Washington Heights and a peek
into a sensitive life lived (in the author’s
Mediocrity
words) along Northern Manhattan’s
“The Exhibit: Dyckman St. Vol 1,”
March 3
Claudio is a 25-year-old native
Inwoodite who has lived in various
streets in the neighborhood. Born to two
parents who emmigrated to the U.S. from
the Dominican Republic, his is one of
the few young voices representing the
Dominican community in the Inwood and
Washington Heights area.
This award-winning journalist writes
weekly on topics ranging from his “daily
life, likes and dislikes opinions on sports,
fashion and politics” and now promises
to post three photos from his life in the
neighborhood each week. Should be
illuminating.

“A Saturday,” Feb. 28
There isn’t much information available
about the author of “Jody Saves the Day”
except that s/he is an Aries and claims to
be tattooed inside with stars and scars.
Pages of poems, lyrical photographs and
meandering thoughts provide a glimpse
of what this person’s life, ostensibly
living in Washington Heights, is like.

“Hello, Lampost.” March 3
Lisa writes that she started her blog
in early January of this year because
she wanted to relive her “childhood,
specifically the nerve-racking, sickening
thrill of show-and-tell.”
Indeed her site is one part eclectic
and artistic show-and-tell, one part
anthropological study. From one post to
another, Lisa mixes images and diary-like
writing about her adventures in the arts
alongside images of what one commenter
on her site calls “urban artifacts.”
Her recent photos of Inwood Hill
Park’s long-neglected lampposts manage
to find beauty in what others might call
run down and dirty trash. Through her
eyes, those somewhat forgotten relics get
a breath of new life.

Rolando Lantigua, Jr., dueño del Rancho Jubilee, fue arrestado
por no pagar impuestos en los ingresos de su restaurante.
Rancho Jubilee owner Rolando Lantigua, Jr. was arrested
Wednesday for failing to report earnings at the restaurant.
Local businessman arrested
by Daniel P. Bader
According to Morgenthau’s office, Lantigua has
plead not guilty to one count of Grand Larceny
in the Second Degree, a class C Felony, posted
a $150,000 bond as bail, and surrendered his
passport. He is due back in court on March 31.
If convicted, Lantigua faces a maximum penalty
of 5-15 years in jail.
“We’re sure he’ll be vindicated, but we have no
comment beyond that,” said Barry Leibowicz, the
principle lawyer of the firm representing Lantigua.
Leibowicz’s firm specializes in tax and business
law.
Morgenthau’s press release noted that last month
two Manhattan businesses owners had plead guilty
to charges stemming from failing to pay taxes,
resulting in the recovery of $1 million in revenue
for the state and city.
On March 4 Manhattan District Attorney Robert
Morgenthau announced the indictment and arrest of
local restaurateur Rolando Lantigua, Jr. for failing
to pay $309,299 in state and city sales taxes.
Lantigua, 34, is owner of Hispaniola and
Fumee on W. 181st Street and Cabrini Boulevard,
Rancho Jubilee on the corner of Nagle Avenue
and Broadway, and part owner of Arka Lounge on
Broadway and W. 192nd Street.
According to Morgenthau, the grand larceny
charge stems from “Failing to report $3,744,047
in gross sales representing almost 80 percent of
the revenue generated by” Rancho Jubilee from
2004, when Lantigua’s uncle transferred the liquor
license to him, through Aug. 31, 2008.
The investigation is still continuing.

Resumen de Junta
Comunal 12
CB12 vota apoyo de licencia de cabaret
En una votación de 17-10, la Junta Comunal
12 votó para recomendar que el Departamento
de Asuntos del Consumidor apruebe una
licencia de cabaret a Umbrella, un centro
nocturno en el oeste de la Calle 202 entre las
Avenidas 9 y 10. Una licencia de cabaret se
requiere para cualquier negocio que les permite
a sus clientes bailar.
March 5, 2009
New owners and a plan to expand into
a regular restaurant did not sway CB12
members into supporting a restaurant
wine license for El Rey de la Paella, the
former Mambi restaurant on W. 181st
Street between St. Nicholas and Audubon
Avenues.
Under the previous owner the 34th
Police Precinct reported eight to 10
incidents at the restaurant, including
stabbings and fights with beer bottles
involving late night crowds eating after
a night out.
The board also voted against
recommending a liquor license to the yetto-be-built Soriano Sport Lounge aimed
for the parking lot and car mechanic on
W. 202nd Street between 9th and 10th
Avenues.
Reasons for the rejection included
vehicular congestion, traffic, parking and
increased noise concerns from residents
of the nearby Dyckman Houses.
CB12 asks MTA to reconsider
shuttering 181st Street token booth
The board took exception to a plan
by the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority to discontinue staffing at the
A-train station token booth at W. 181st
Street and Ft. Washington Avenue.
The MTA is currently holding public
hearings on closing one of the booths in
stations with two booths. The board also
voted to recommend the MTA look at
each station on a case-by-case basis.
Ningún residente se presentó a una
vista pública el 10 de febrero para objetar
la aplicación y los miembros del Comité de
Desarrollo Económico estaban impresionados
por las medidas tomadas por el dueño Emilio
Suárez para estar de acuerdo con las leyes
existentes y para mantener el ruido al mínimo.
Sin embargo, la junta agregó 15 condiciones
a su recomendación, incluyendo no aceptando
a nadie menor de 21 años en el club, utilizar ID,
maquinas para probar la edad y proveer una
lista de eventos especiales en el club al oficial
de asuntos comunales del Precinto de Policía
34.
CB12 vota contra resolución de
apoyar licencias de licor a puntos
problemáticos
Nuevos dueños y un plan de expandirse
a un restaurante regular no convenció a los
miembros de CB12 para apoyar una licencia
de vino al restaurante El Rey de la Paella, el
antiguo restaurante Mambí en el oeste de la
Calle 181 entre las Avenidas St. Nicholas y
Audubon.
Bajo el dueño anterior el Precinto de Policía
34 reportó de ocho a 10 incidentes en el
restaurante, incluso puñaladas y peleas con
botellas de cerveza envolviendo multitudes
nocturnas comiendo luego de una noche de
juerga.
La junta también votó contra recomendar
una licencia de licor al todavía por construir
Soriano Sport Lounge propuesto por el espacio
de estacionamiento y mecánica de carro en
el oeste de la Calle 202 entre las Avenidas
Novena y Décima. Las razones brindadas
incluyen preocupaciones de congestión
vehicular, tráfico, estacionamiento y aumento
de ruido por parte de los residentes cerca de
Dyckman Houses.
CB12 le pide a la MTA reconsideran
cierre de casilla en la 181
La junta tomó objeción a un plan por la
Autoridad Metropolitana de Transportación
para descontinuar empleados en la casilla de
fichas en el oeste de la Calle 181 y la entrada
de Ft. Washington al tren A. Actualmente la
MTA está llevando a cabo vistas públicas para
cerrar una de las casillas en estaciones con dos
casillas. La junta también votó para recomendar
que la MTA mire a cada estación como casos
diferentes.

Local and city pols oppose MTA bridge toll
by Adam Garrett-Clark
As the first flakes of the March 1 snow
storm fell on traffic flowing from the
Washington Bridge at W. 181st Street and
Amsterdam Avenue, Assembly Member
Adriano Espaillat gathered with local and
city politicians against Assembly Leader
Sheldon Silver’s proposal for a $2 toll on
East and Harlem River bridges as a way
to raise money for the ailing Metropolitan
Transit Authority (MTA).
“We’re asking poor people, those that
can least afford it, to shoulder the burden
of an authority that has been very murky
in the past,” Espaillat said in front of
television news cameras and a small
crowd, tagging the toll as a “poor man’s
tax.”
The four, small toll-free bridges that
stretch between Northern Manhattan
and the West Bronx connect “one
neighborhood,” he said. “This will further
economically gate Manhattan.”
Joined by a handful of fellow Assembly
members, local City Council Members
Miguel Martinez and Robert Jackson,
other City Council members from Queens
and the Bronx and City Comptroller
William Thompson, the coalition opposed
the plan for reasons that included the
strain tolls would put on small businesses,
the potential difficulties and costs of
implementing a toll system and the traffic
back ups it would generate.
Questions were also raised about the
veracity of the MTA’s numbers. Holding
up a $5 bill, Queens Assembly Member
Jose Peralta ended his speech with “In
God we trust, in the MTA we don’t.”
Senate Majority Leader Malcolm
Smith, who has signaled interest in the
plan, called for an additional look into the
MTA’s finances after becoming alarmed
at the speedy acceptance by the MTA of
a $2 toll as a solution when the toll was
originally presented as $5.
The plan, proposed by Speaker of the
Assembly Sheldon Silver has been touted
as the best solution thus far to save the
struggling MTA, which reports a $1.2
billion budget deficit.

To prevent severe service cuts and a
23-percent increase in fares planned for
June, state lawmakers have until March
25 when the MTA board of directors is
scheduled to meet in order to draft an
alternative to the MTA’s plans to balance
the budget.
At the press conference Espaillat said
he supported an alternative proposed by
Comptroller Thompson, which would
Al miembro de la asamblea Adriano Espaillat se le unieron los

increase registration fees for vehicles
based on weight and fuel efficiency. And
the Assembly members urged lawmakers
to revisit the commuter tax as another
option.
But time is running out. Despite a letter
signed by over 20 Assembly members in
opposition to the tolls, the proposal has
picked up steam.
A spokesperson for State Senator Eric
Schneiderman said the senator has yet to
fall on either side of the issue but that the
deadline is looming and his main concern
is preventing rate increases and service
cuts.
Calls to Assembly Member Herman
“Denny” Farrell’s New York and Albany
offices were not immediately returned.
Thompson y líderes locales
contra el peaje de los puentes de la MTA
por Adam Garrett-Clark
Mientras los primeros copos de la tormenta
de nieve del 1 de marzo caían sobre el tráfico
del domingo saliendo del Puente Washington
en la esquina del oeste de la Calle 181 y la
Avenida Ámsterdam, el Asambleísta Adriano
Espaillat se reunía con políticos locales y
de la ciudad contra la propuesta del líder
asambleísta Sheldon Silver de un peaje de
$2 en los puentes East y Harlem como un
método de recaudar dinero para la enfermiza
Autoridad Metropolitana de Tránsito (MTA, por
sus siglas en inglés).
“Nosotros le estamos pidiendo a personas
pobres, aquellos que menos lo pueden costear
el cargar con la carga de una autoridad que ha
sido bien turbia en el pasado”, dijo Espaillat
al frente de las cámaras de televisión y una

pequeña multitud, etiquetando el peaje como
el “impuesto del hombre pobre”.
Los cuatro pequeños puentes libres
de peajes se extienden a través del Alto
Manhattan y el oeste del Bronx conecta
“un vecindario”, dijo él. “Esto cerraría más
económicamente a Manhattan”.
Junto a un puñado de compañeros
miembros de la asamblea y concejales de la
ciudad de Queens y el Bronx, incluyendo al
contralor de la ciudad William Thompson y los
miembros del concejo local Miguel Martínez
y Robert Jackson, la coalición citó que los
peajes pondría en los pequeños negocios,
las dificultades potenciales y los costos de
implementar un sistema de peaje y el trafico
que esto generaría como razones contra la
idea.
También se levantaron preguntas acerca
de la veracidad de los números de la MTA.
Aguantando un billete de $5, el miembro de la
asamblea de Queens José Peralta terminó su
discurso con “En Dios nosotros confiamos, en
la MTA, no”.
El líder de la mayoría en el Senado Malcolm
Smith, quien ha dado señales de interés en el
plan, pidió una mirada adicional a las finanzas
de la MTA luego de alarmarse de la rápida
aceptación de la MTA de un peaje de $2 como
una solución cuando originalmente el peaje
fue presentado de $5.
El plan, propuesto por el portavoz de la
asamblea Sheldon Silver ha sido ofrecido
como la mejor solución hasta ahora para
salvar la difícil MTA, la cual reporta un déficit
presupuestario de $1.2 billones y proyecta
perdidas en el 2009.
Para prevenir severos cortes de servicio
y un 23 por ciento de aumento en tarifas
planificado para junio, los legisladores tienen
hasta el 25 de marzo (una reunión programada
con la junta de directores de la MTA) para
bosquejar una alternativa a los planes de la
MTA para balancear el presupuesto.
En la conferencia de prensa, Espaillat dijo
que él apoyaba una alternativa propuesta por
el contralor Thompson, la cual aumentaría
tarifas de inscripción para los vehículos
basado en peso y eficiencia de combustible.
Y los miembros de la asamblea exhortan a los
legisladores a revisar de nuevo el impuesto
a viajeros que viven fuera de la ciudad como
otra opción.
Pero el tiempo está corriendo. A pesar de
una carta firma por más de 20 miembros de
la asamblea en oposición a los peajes, la
propuesta ha subido.
El portavoz del Senador Eric Schneiderman
dijo que el senador todavía tiene que tomar
bando en el asunto pero que la fecha limite
está apareciendo y su principal preocupación
es el prevenir el promedio de aumentos y
recortes de servicio. Llamadas a las oficinas
en Nueva York y Albany al miembro de la
asamblea Herman “Denny” Farell no fueron
contestadas.

A new
chamber of
commerce
for Inwood
by Mike Fitelson
In another sign that Northern Manhattan
businesses are responding to uncertain
economic times by working together
on common issues, scores of business
owners, community leaders and elected
officials staged a ceremony earlier this
year to officially commemorate the launch
of two new chambers of commerce,
one based in Inwood and one with an
international focus on Latinos.
The new Inwood and Marble Hill
Chamber of Commerce counts about 35
businesses as members with most of them
located north of W. 190th Street. The
board members are local, including the
owners of Elsa La Reina del Chicharron,
Josephine’s Spa, All Over Travel & MultiServices and Portella and Associates.
The USA Latin Chamber of Commerce
was necessary, organizers said, because
of the number of merchants outside
of Inwood who wanted to learn how to
strengthen their businesses.
The focus of the Inwood chamber will
be educating business owners. Leaders

Bodegas
are
ubiquitous
throughout Northern Manhattan.
This is the second in an
occasional series by professional
photographer Christopher AugerDominguez about the owners and
stores that we all rely on.
Q: How long have you worked
here?
A: For 14 years. My father
owned the bodega and I bought
it two and half years ago.
Q: How many hours do you work
a week?
A: 70-80 hours.
Q: What are the best and worst
things about being a bodega
owner?
A: Worst things: I’d say it’s
the pressure of doing business
and the competition, the costs of
maintaining the store and no day
off. And when the clients aren’t
happy about the rising prices of
items. But one of the best things
is knowing everyone that comes
in.
Q: How did you raise your startup
capital?
A: Mostly a loan from the
Dominican Republic with my
father.
Q: What is weirdest item a
customer has asked for?
A: Not the weirdest but how
they ask for it . . . Condoms.
Often they use hand signals to
describe what they want because
they are embarrassed to say.
Also, when people ask for advice
for medical issues.
Q: What do you do when it’s
slow?
A: Keep busy organizing and
joke with the customers that do
come in.
Las bodegas están omnipresentes
a través del Alto Manhattan. Este
es el segundo de una ocasional
serie por el fotógrafo profesional
Christopher Auger-Domínguez acerca
de los dueños y las tiendas con las
que nosotros contamos.
“Darlyn Food Court”
P: ¿Donde naciste?
R: Santo Domingo, República
Dominicana.
P: ¿Cuál es su dulce/bebida/merienda
favorita?
R: Agua con vitamina y el helado
de Twix
P: ¿Cuáles son las mejores y peores
cosas de ser dueño de una bodega?
R: Las peores: yo diría que es
la presión de hacer negocio y la
competencia, el costo de mantener
la tienda y ningún día libre. Y cuando
los clientes no están contentos
acerca del alza de los precios en los
artículos. Pero una de las mejores es
el conocer a todos los que entran.
P: ¿Cómo recaudaste el capital para
empezar?
R: Mayormente un préstamo de la
República Dominicana con mi padre.
P: ¿Cuántos empleados hay?
R: Cuatro más mi padre y esposa.
P: ¿Cual es el artículo más extraño
que le haya pedido un cliente?
R: No el más extraño sino como
lo pidió…condones. A menudo ellos
utilizan señales con las manos para
describir lo que ellos desean porque
están abochornados de decirlo.
También, cuando las personas piden
concejo en asuntos médicos.
P: ¿Qué usted hace cuando está
lento la bodega?
R: Mantenerme ocupado
organizando y bromear con los
clientes que entran.
P: ¿Cuánto tiempo has trabajado
aquí?
R: Por 14 años. Mi padre era el
dueño de la bodega y yo la compré
hace dos años y medio atrás.
P: ¿Cuántas horas trabajas a la
semana?
R: 70 – 80 horas
P: ¿Cuál es el significado del nombre
de la tienda?
R: Llamada después de mi…
Una nueva
Cámara de
Comercio
para Inwood
por Mike Fitelson
En otra señal de que los negocios del
Alto Manhattan están respondiendo a la
incertidumbre económica, un grupo de dueños
de negocios, líderes comunales y oficiales
electos presentaron una ceremonia a principios
de este año para conmemorar oficialmente
el lanzamiento de dos nuevas Cámaras de
Comercio, una con sede en Inwood y la otra
con un enfoque internacional en los latinos.
La nueva Cámara de Comercio de Inwood
y Marble Hill cuenta con 35 negocios como
miembros con la mayoría de ellos localizados al
norte del oeste de la Calle 190. Los miembros
de la junta incluyen los dueños de Elsa la Reina
del Chicharrón, Josephina Spa, agencia de
viajes “All Over” y la firma de abogados Portella
y Asociados. La Cámara de Comercio Latina
USA era necesaria, dijeron los organizadores,
debido al número de comerciantes fuera de
Inwood que querían aprender a como fortalecer
sus negocios.
El enfoque de la cámara de Inwood será el
educar a los dueños de negocios. Los líderes
esperan proveer una amplia información acerca
de negociar estos contratos, la importancia de
reparar y embellecer los frentes de las tiendas,

US Census at Chamber of
Commerce breakfast
A representative from the U.S. Census Bureau will
discuss the benefits and importance of an accurate Census
count during the Wed., March 11 breakfast meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce of Washington Heights and
Inwood at Isabella Geriatric Center at 515 Audubon Ave.
at W. 190th St.
The numbers compiled by the Census will affect the
amount of municipal services our community receives
(police, fire fighters, human services resources, etc.) and
determines the number of legislators we will have since
district lines are drawn from the data. The Census also
provides an economic survey of income levels that can
serve as a valuable marketing tool for business owners.
For more information about the meeting or the chamber,
contact Rita Kardeman at [email protected] or

Shhhh!
Health Plus, the not-for-profit health care plan
provider distributed 500 free coats at its Inwood location
on Feb. 27. The coats were provided by NYCares, a
multi-faceted volunteer organization that collects
donated coats each winter.
The coat drive kicked off at 3 p.m. in within minutes
crowds swirled the tables, trying on various sizes, or
piling them up on the tops of strollers.
Assembly Member Adriano Espaillat stopped by the
drive at 3:30p.m., posing for photographs with Upper
East Side Council Member Jessica Lappin.
According to Health Plus Regional Marketing Manager
Salvador Valle, Health Plus distributed another 500
coats with Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer
on Feb. 13.
Though the coats came from NYCares, Valle said the
coat drive will be on-going and anyone with a spare coat
is welcome to drop it off at the Inwood location.
Shhhh!
For almost a week in January, nine students in Mother
Cabrini High School’s Mission Volunteers Program
were in Syracuse to continue Saint Frances Xavier
Cabrini’s mission to educate and touch hearts of those
less fortunate.
For the fourth consecutive year, Campus Minister
Matthew Bizzarro, and Guidance Counselor Kristina
Doyle supervised the young missioners while they
spearheaded community service projects at L’Arche, a
community for adults with developmental disabilities.
This year, in addition to working at L’Arche, the group
was fortunate to have the opportunity to volunteer at
the Franciscan Northside Ministries, which provides
underprivileged residents of Syracuse with a food pantry
and free medical and law clinics.

It’s not often I’m impressed with, or even like, a
vegetable much. So, while sitting at Garden Café on
Broadway near W. 207th Street happily munching on
a cheeseburger, my wife offers me a stalk of broccoli
raab, I am not interested. She slipped a piece onto
my plate anyway, and I stared at it for a while before
ignoring it in favor of my French fries.
Garden Café keeps its outdoor patio open during
winter. It’s walled in with canvas and electric patio
heaters keep diners toasty.
Sitting there on Feb. 21 it almost felt like the summer
– the last time we were at the restaurant. That’s when
a jazz duet played, taking requests, and the outdoor
bar was open. It might have been the last time we
ate outside before winter blew in – what seems like a
lifetime ago.
Sitting there last month, I sipped a microbrew from
Bluepoint Brewery on Long Island, which took away
the chill, and a bit of cabin fever I’ve been feeling.
Restaurant owner and Northern Manhattan native
Gus Anton opened Garden Café four years ago this
month. Back then the area that is now the patio was a
neighborhood dumping ground.
“We excavated the back and the basement,” said
Anton, whose family also owns Parkview Restaurant
Garden café pairs its hanger steak with a number
of vegetables throughout the year, including
broccoli raab.
La carne es servida con un número de vegetales a
través del año, incluyendo brócoli rabe. (foto: Landa
M. Towns)
on Dyckman Street at Broadway. Now, he
said, “It’s like a little greenhouse.”
When he signed the lease, only two
out of the six storefronts were rented.
“I always wanted to do something a
little upscale,” he added. “I felt the
neighborhood needed it.”
Anton describes the restaurant as

No es a menudo que yo me impresiono, o más
aun, con los vegetales. Así es que cuando sentado
en el Garden Café en Broadway cerca del oeste de
la Calle 207, comiéndome una hamburguesa con
queso, mi esposa me ofreció un tallo de Brócoli
Rabe, no estaba interesado. Ella deslizó un pedazo
en mi plato, y yo me le quedé mirando un rato,
entonces lo ignoré a favor de mis papas fritas.

El Garden Café mantiene su patio abierto durante
el invierno. Es cerrado con canvas y calentadores
electrónicos de patio mantiene a los comensales
calientes. Sentado ahí el 21 de febrero casi se
sentía como verano – la última vez que habíamos
estado en el restaurante.
Un dúo de jazz estaba tocando cerca de la puerta
del restaurante principal, tomando peticiones y la
barra de afuera estaba abierta. Pudo haber sido
la última vez que comimos fuera antes de que el
invierno comenzara – parece hace mucho tiempo
atrás.
Aunque tenía un poco de frío, la cerveza, una
Bluepoint Brewery en Long Island, se llevó gran
parte de eso. Dueño y nativo del Alto Manhattan,

Garden Café, which celebrates its fourth year in business this
month, keeps its outdoor patio open all year. (file photo)
El Garden Café, el cual celebra su cuarto aniversario, mantiene su
patio exterior abierto durante todo el año.
GARDEN CAFE from p12
French, Italian and American modern.
The broccoli raab (also known as rabe) sitting ignored
on my plate came as a side dish to my wife’s hanger
steak with roasted red potatoes.
“The steak we marinate with olive oil and seasoning,”
Anton said. “We start it off in the pan and then we roast
it.”
By “we” he means himself and head chef Leo Muniz.
The vegetables, he said, are rotated by Muniz, who will
pair the steak with green beans, sautéed spinach, Swiss
chard, asparagus and, of course broccoli raab. “Just
broccoli florets – you can’t really do much with those,”
Anton said, explaining the kitchen’s fondness for the
slender piece of stalk sitting on my plate.
The broccoli raab is blanched (boiled then dropped
into ice water to bring out the color) and sautéed with
oil and garlic.
A quick Google search of broccoli raab reveals that
the long leafy vegetable is not related to broccoli at all
– several sites said it’s a distant cousin of the turnip
– but that the little florets that grow on the end of the
stalks resemble broccoli, hence the name.
Quite comfortable behind my Angus cheddar
cheeseburger on a toasted multigrain roll and hand cut
fries, that lone vegetable on my plate kept tugging at
me.
I am somewhat emboldened by the fact that I have
discovered two vegetables this year that I really like:
asparagus and Brussels sprouts (the deep fried ones at
181 Cabrini are excellent). So even though this so-called
broccoli was green and very wet, I wasn’t completely
against trying it.
Saving a few fries and a swig of beer to chase the taste
just in case, I speared the lonely vegetable and took the
plunge.
And now there are three new vegetables I really like.
Garden Café is located at 4961 Broadway.. 212-5449480
GARDEN CAFE de p12
atrás este mes, y recuerda el patio siendo un basurero del
negocio.
“Nosotros excavamos la parte de atrás y el sótano”, dijo Anton.
Ahora, dijo él, “es como un pequeño invernadero”.
Cuando el firmó el contrato, solo dos de las seis tiendas de al
frente estaban rentadas.
“Cuando yo vine a este lado de la calle no había nada abierto”,
dijo él. “Yo siempre quise hacer algo un poco mejor. Yo sentí que
el vecindario lo necesitaba”.
Anton describe el restaurante (el segundo en su familia, ellos
son dueños de Parkview Restaurante en la Calle Dyckman y
Broadway) como francés italiano y americano moderno.
El brócoli rabe sentado ignorado en mi plato viene como
acompañamiento de una carne y papas rojas asadas.
“La carne nosotros la marinamos con aceite de oliva y
condimentos”, dijo Anton. “Nosotros la comenzamos en el sartén
y entonces la asamos”.
Por “nosotros” el quiere decir el mismo y el Chef Leo Muñiz.
Los vegetales, dijo él, son alternados por Muñiz, quien sirve la
carne con habichuelas verdes, espinaca salteada, acelga suiza y
espárragos.
“No es mucho lo que puedes hacer con solo el tallo del
brócoli”, dijo Anton.
El brócoli rabe, es palidecido (se coloca en agua hirviendo y
luego se tira en agua fría para sacarle el color) y se saltea con
aceite y ajo.
Una rápida visita a Google buscando brócoli rabe revela que
el largo vegetal no está relacionado de ninguna manera con el
brócoli – varas páginas dicen que es un primo lejano del nabo
– pero que los pequeños ramilletes los cuales crecen al final del
tallo se asemeja al brócoli.
Bastante cómodo detrás de mi hamburguesa de queso y
papas fritas, el solitario vegetal en mi plato continúa luchando
conmigo.
Estoy alentado por el hecho de que este año he descubierto
dos vegetales que realmente me gustan: el espárragos y las
‘brussels sprouts’ (las fritas en el 181 de Cabrini son excelentes).
Así es que aunque era verde y bien mojado, no estaba
completamente contra probarlo.
Guardando algunas papas fritas y un poco de cerveza para
quitar el sabor de mi boca si no me gustaba, metí el tenedor en
el brócoli rabe y lo levanté. Salio hacia arriba de una manera
patética y…vamos a decir que ahora hay tres vegetales que
realmente me gustan.

4,700 runners rock Coogan’s
11th Annual Salsa, Blues and Shamrocks 5K
by Daniel P. Bader
Temperatures hovered around
30-degrees and a smattering of
snowflakes drifted down on the
sea of runners at the starting line
of Coogan’s 11 th annual Salsa,
Blues and Shamrocks 5K, held
on March 1.
Over 6,000 runners registered
for the race, but just 4,700
turned out to run in the belowfreezing weather. Somewhere
in that crowd, which appeared
to stretch from the starting
line on Ft. Washington Avenue
between W. 172 nd and W. 173 rd
Street almost all the way back
to the Armory Track and Field
Center on W. 169 th Street, was
octogenarian Helen Bjoes.
“I am the first winner in my
age group,” Bjoes said sitting
at a table inside Coogans
Restaurant after the race. She
has entered each year and has 10
other medals at home.
Around her runners and race
watchers pack into the W. 165 th
Street restaurant for a free glass
of Coogan’s Ale, breakfast, or a
corned beef sandwich.
Bjoes has just polished off a
plate of eggs, and is all smiles
showing off her medal. She
walks five times a week at the
armory with Isabella Geriatric
Center’s
Walking
Works
Wonders program.
“I walk a lot for exercise,”
Bjoes said. “Every year I get
medals.”
Her eyes twinkle when asked
her exact age, and she smiles.
“Age is a number, and mine is
unlisted,” she said.
At the table with Bjoes are
members of the New York Flyers,
a 6,000 member running club
under the umbrella of New York
Road Runners, who officiated
the race.
Ed Altman, who lives on the
Upper East Side around 60 th
Street jogged to Washington
Heights to run in the race. He’s
been running for 27 years and
has joined this particular 5K for
the past five or six years.
The race typically starts
near the armory, heads up Ft.
Washington Avenue, and turns
around Margaret Corbin Circle
to head back to the armory.
This year, the starting line was
moved up to W. 172 nd Street and
the race entered Ft. Tryon Park
along Margaret Corbin Drive,
wrapped around the Cloisters
museum and then headed back
to the start.
Altman said this year is also
different because now the event
is a “points race” with New
York Road Runners and is a
prequalifying event for the New
York City Marathon.
Eighty percent of New York
races are held in Central Park, he
said, so the Washington Heights
event is particularly fun because
the streets are shut down and
runners get to run on the road.
“The party at the end is
different,” he said. “They feed
us and give us beer.”
Coogans
co-owner
and
Weather Committee Chair David
Hunt rejected the idea that his
committee blew it with the cold
weather and scattered flakes.
“We did a pretty good job, as
a matter of fact,” he said. “The
rain and the snow held off.”
4700 runners turned out for the 11th
annual Coogan’s Salsa, Blues and
Shamrocks 5K on March 1. (photo:
Daniel P. Bader
4,700 corredores se presentaron para
11ma edición de la carrera “Salsa,
Blues and Shamrocks” auspiciada por
Coogan’s el 1 de marzo.
He said the temperature, while
uncomfortable for spectators,
was perfect for the runners. “The
times were very, very good,” he
said.
Back at the table, sitting next
to Bjoes is Inwood resident
and New York Flyers member
Kathleen Toner. She’s wearing
all black running gear and
glasses with bright red frames.
She said the 5K was the first
race of the season for the New
York Flyers.
“I love it, I love this race.
It shows off how great the
neighborhood is.”
The race itself had a bitter
ending for Jacob Korir, 28 of
Waldorf, MD.
Just over 14 minutes into the
race he was in first place, half a
block from the finish line. The
pace truck in front of him with
a big race clock mounted on the
back veered off onto W. 172 nd
Street to allow Korir to break
the ribbon stretched across the
finish line – which would have
happened had Korir not followed
the truck.
“No, no!” shouted a race
marshal, who tried to redirect the
runner, finally throwing his arms
up in frustration. Upon seeing
the mistake, Worku Beyi, 22, of
the Bronx sped up to make sure
he won, while the new second
place finisher Testfaye Girma,
26, of Manhattan, put a gloved
hand up in the air in victory.
Thomas Slosky, 23, of
Philadelphia, PA, in third place,
glanced down W. 172 nd Street
for Korir, who, by then, had
realized his mistake. It was too
late, however, Slosky crossed
the finish line and Korir crossed
the line in fourth. Even with the
mistake, Korir finished just four
seconds behind Beyi.
The fastest woman of the
race was also from the Bronx.
Aziza Aliyu, 23, cruised over
the line just over 16 minutes
after the start, followed by Hirut
Runners braved below-freezing temperatures to run in the
3.1 mile race which wound around the Cloisters Museum
this year. (photo: Mike Fitelson)

carrera de 3.1 millas la cual este año pasó alrededor del Museo
de los Cloisters.

medals from past races.

Mandefro, 23, of Silver Spring,
MD, and Salome Kosgei, 28 of
High Falls, NY.
At the other end of the race,
near the New Leaf Café in Ft.
Tryon Park, The Cobalt Rhythm
Kings, a Chicago-style blues
band from Connecticut, belted
out inspirational tunes like “Let
the Good Times Roll,” and “You
Better Watch Yourself.”
“It was very cool,” said
frontman and harmonica player
Mark Zaretsky. “I’ve never
really seen stuff like it at 9 a.m.
in the morning.”
According to music organizer
Deborah Cardova, 19 musical
groups participated in the event
this year.
“It went from traditional
Dominican music up to blues,”
she said, describing the variety
of bands.
She said having live music is
motivational for the athletes.
“I watched the runners. …
The minute they heard the music
they perked up.”
Zaretsky allowed that his
music probably didn’t help
Korir and company, who zipped
by just about seven minutes after
the race began.
“The front of the pack are
like machines,” he said. “[But]
people in the back were really
digging it.”

Miles se presentan por la 11ma edición de Carrera Coogan’s
por Daniel P. Bader
Las temperaturas permanecieron
alrededor de los 30 grados y unos
pocos de copos de nieve bajaban
por el mar de corredores en la línea
inicial de la 11ma edición del “Salsa,
Blues and Shamrocks 5K” auspiciado
por el Restaurante Coogan’s el 1ro
de marzo.
Más de 6,000 corredores se
inscribieron para la carrera, pero
solo 4,700 se presentaron a correr
en las glaciares temperaturas. En
algún lugar en esa multitud, la cual
parecía estirarse desde la línea
inicial en la Avenida Ft. Washington
entre el oeste de las Calles 172 y
173 casi todo hasta el Centro de
Pista y Campo Armory en el oeste de
la Calle 169, estaba la octogenaria
Helen Bjoes.
“Soy la primera ganadora en
mi categoría de edad”, dijo Bjoes
sentada en una mesa dentro del
Restaurante Coogan’s luego de la
carrera. Ella ha entrado cada año
y tiene otras 10 medallas en casa.
Alrededor de ella corredores y
observadores de la carrera reunidos
en el restaurante del oeste de
la Calle 165 para un vaso gratis
de Coogan’s Ale, desayuno o un
emparedado de ‘corned beef’.
Bjoes acababa de terminar un
plato de huevos y es todo sonrisas
mostrando su medalla. Ella camina
cinco veces a la semana en el
‘armory’ con el programa de Caminar
Hace Maravillas del Centro Geriátrico
Isabella.
“Yo camino mucho para ejercicio”,
dijo Bjoes. “Todos los años yo recibo
medallas”.
Sus ojos centellearon cuando se
le preguntó a la edad exacta y ella
sonríe.
“La edad es solo un número”, dijo
ella.
En la mesa con Bjoes hay
miembros del ‘New York Flyers’,
un club de corredores de 6,000
miembros bajo el amparo del ‘New
York Road Runners’, quien ofició la
carrera.
Ed Altman, quien vive en el ‘Upper
East Side’ alrededor de la Calle 60
trota hasta Washington Heights para
correr en la carrera. El ha estado
corriendo por 27 años y se ha unido a
este 5K en particular por los pasados
cinco o seis años.
La carrera típicamente comienza
cerca del “Armory”, se dirige a la
Avenida Ft. Washington, y vira
alrededor de Margaret Corbin Circle
para regresar el Armory. Este año,
la línea inicial fue movida al oeste
de la Calle 172 y la carrera entró al
Parque Ft. Tryon junto a Margaret
Corbin Drive, rodeando el museo de
los Cloisters y luego regresando al
comienzo. Altman dijo que este año
también es diferente porque ahora
el evento es una “carrera de punto”
con el ‘New York Road Runners’ y es
un evento de precalificación para el
Maratón de la ciudad de Nueva York.
El ochenta por ciento de las
carreras en Nueva York son llevadas
a cabo en el Parque Central, dijo el,
así es que el evento de Washington
Heights es particularmente divertido
porque las calles son cerradas y los
corredores pueden correr en la calle.
“La fiesta al final es diferente”,
dijo él. “Nos dan de comer y nos dan
cerveza”.
El codueño de Coogan’s y
presidente del Comité del Tiempo
David Hunt rechazó la idea de que su
comité lo arruinó con el tiempo frío y
los copos de nieve.
“Dicho sea de paso, nosotros
hicimos un buen trabajo”, dijo él.
“La lluvia y la nieve se aguantaron”.
El dijo que la temperatura, aunque
incomoda para los espectadores, era
perfecta para los corredores. “Los
tiempos fueron bien, bien buenos”,
dijo él.
De vuelta a la mesa, sentado
cerca de Bjoes está el residente de
Inwood y miembro de ‘New York
Flyers’ Kathleen Toner. Ella viste un
atuendo de correr negro y espejuelos
con brillantes marcos rojos. Ella dijo
que el 5K fue la primera carrera de la
temporada para los ‘New York Flyers’.
“A mi me encanta, esta carrera.
Demuestra cuan grande es el
vecindario”.
La carrera en si tuvo un amargo
final para Jacob Korir, de 28 años de
Waldorf, Maryland.
Un poco sobre los 14 minutos en
la carrera el estaba en primer lugar,
a medio bloque de la línea final. El
camión que dirigía al frente de el con
un gran reloj montado en la parte
de atrás se desvió hacia el oeste de
la Calle 172 para permitirle a Korir
romper la cinta en la línea final – lo
cual hubiese sucedido si Korir no
hubiera seguido el camión.
“No, ¡no!”, gritó un oficial de la
carrera, quien trató de redirigir al
corredor, finalmente tirando sus

para asegurarse la victoria, mientras
el nuevo segundo lugar Testfaye

puso un guante arriba en el aire en
victoria.
Thomas Slosky, de 23 años de
Philadelphia, PA, en tercer lugar,
echa una mirada por el oeste de
la Calle 172 por Korir, quien para
entonces, se había dado cuenta
de su error. Sin embargo, era muy
tarde, Slosky cruzó la línea final
y Korir cruzó la línea cuarto. Aun
con el error, Korir llegó solo cuatro
segundos detrás de Beyi.
La mujer más rápida de la carrera
también era del Bronx. Aziza Aliyu, de
23 años, cruzó sobre la línea casi 16
minutos luego de comenzar, seguida
de Hirut Mandefro, de 23 años de
Silver Spring, MD y Salome Kosgei,
de 28 años de High Falls, NY.

como “Let the Good Times Roll” y
“You Better Watch Yourself”.
“Fue bien bueno”, dijo Mark
Zaretsky el hombre de al frente y que
toca la harmónica. “Yo realmente
nunca he visto cosas como esa a las
9:00 de la mañana”.
Según la organizadora de la
música Deborah Cardova, 19 grupos
musicales participaron en el evento
este año.
“Pasó de música dominicana
tradicional hasta ‘blues’”, dijo ella,
describiendo la variedad de bandas.
Ella dijo que el tener música en
vivo es motivador para los atletas.
“Yo miro a los corredores…en
el momento que ellos escuchan la
música se ponen alertas”.
Zaretsky tomó en consideración
de que probablemente su música
no ayudó a Korir y compañía, quien
cerró justo a siete minutos luego de
comenzar la carrera.
“El grupo de al frente son como
maquinas”, dijo él. “Pero la gente
atrás realmente estaban disfrutando”.

run is one of the few times during the
year that his group, Steel the Show
including Larry Washington, left, and

keep their hands warm. Saturday was
the ninth year he has drummed during
the run. (photo: Mike Fitelson)

Keepin’ it local for nine years
If you look at the cover of this issue
just below the words “Manhattan
Times” there is a special number.
It says Vol. 10. Roughly nine years
ago, on Feb. 24, 2000, it read Vol.
1, the first edition of the Manhattan
Times.
As originally conceived, the
Manhattan Times was to be a
bilingual newspaper to speak to
EDITORIAL
a bilingual community living and
working in Northern Manhattan.
Nine years later, that’s still what
we do every week.
The paper is where a readership that
is fragmented by language, culture,
economics and plain old geography
can come together, literally, on the
same page. The Manhattan Times is
also where the issues and concerns of
Northern Manhattan take precedence
over those of the rest of the city. Put
simply: we keep it local.
Over the last nine years a handful
of other local publications have come
and gone. But we are still growing.
We have done that by forging strong
relationships with the pillars of the
community, from the our elected and
civic leaders, to our internationally
renown institutions, to a vibrant
nonprofit industry, to an expanding
business sector, but most of all to
the thousands of readers who rely on
us each week to learn more about the
place where they live and work.
As the newspaper industry looks
Vol. 1, the first edition of the Manhattan
Times.
Era la primera edición del Manhattan
Times.
deep within itself to learn how to
survive these evolving economic
times, we believe we need to keep
doing what has gotten us this far:
reporting accurately and fairly on
Northern Manhattan.
We will continue to do that every
week on the printed page, but
beginning this month we will also be
using our Web site more and more to
extend that dialogue.
This
month
we’ll
launch
a
new
version
of
www.
manhattantimesnews.com with more
online tools. A blog will allow us to
report news and information with
greater speed and frequency. We will
make greater use of video. While we
now post PDFs of each issue online,
the new site will include links to
individual articles and searchable
archives.
Many readers said they miss the
weekly “Stuff To Do” calendar
in the paper. It will return in an
abbreviated form in the paper, but
the online version will include more
events and allow users to upload and
share their own listings.
A new online business directory
will also help us encourage locals
to Eat and Shop Uptown. As
residents, it’s good business to help
the businesses that help out the
community.
For nine years the Manhattan
Times has been a mirror of what’s
happening in the community. The
conversations we hear around us
are what you eventually read in the
paper. We’re really proud of our
paper and prouder still of the vibrant
community that supports us.
As we begin counting down to
our tenth year, we are reminded
of what Janifer Wilson, owner of
Uptown Sister’s Bookstore on W.
156th Street, said in last week’s
cover story: “We’ve got to do for
ourselves.”
Por nueve años,
manteniendo el enfoque local
Si nota en la portada de esta edición
del Manhattan Times debajo de la
cabecera verá un número especial. Dice
Vol. 10. Hace unos nueve años atrás,
el 24 de febrero del 2000, en ese mismo
lugar decía Vol 1. Era la primera edición
del Manhattan Times.
El concepto original tras el
establecimiento del Manhattan Times
fue el crear un periódico bilingüe que
EDITORIAL
se dirigiera a la comunidad bilingüe que
trabajaba y vivía en el Alto Manhattan.
Luego de nueve años, eso sigue siendo
lo que hacemos cada semana.
Este periódico es donde lectores
fragmentados por idioma, cultura,
economía, y simple geografía se pueden
reunir, literalmente, en la misma página.
El Manhattan Times también es donde
los temas y las inquietudes del Alto
Manhattan son más importantes que
lo que ocurre en el resto de la ciudad.
Simplemente: nosotros nos enfocamos en
lo local.
A lo largo de los últimos nueve años,
un puñado de otras publicaciones han
venido e ido. Pero nosotros seguimos
creciendo. Hemos seguido creciendo
fuertes relaciones con los baluartes de
la comunidad. Con nuestros oficiales
electos, con nuestras instituciones
mundialmente famosas, con nuestros
vibrante sector caritativo, con nuestros
empresas privadas, y, aun más importante
que cualquier otra cosa, con los miles de
lectores que dependen de nosotros cada
semana para aprender más acerca del
vecindario donde viven y trabajan.
Mientras que la industria periodística
trata de encontrar como sobrevivir en
estos tiempos difíciles, nosotros creemos
que tenemos que seguir hacienda lo que
los ha dado buen resultado hasta ahora:
reportar clara y justamente acerca de lo
que ocurre en el Alto Manhattan.
Seguiremos haciendo eso cada
semana en el periódico que publicamos,
pero comenzando este mes también
utilizaremos nuestro sitio en el Internet
para extender aún más este diálogo.
Este mes iniciaremos una nueva
versión de www.manhattantimesnews.
com con más herramientas para
nuestros usuarios. Un blog nos permitirá
reportar noticias y otros informes más
rápidamente. Usaremos mucho más
video. Aunque ahora ponemos copias
digitales del periódico en el Internet, el
nuevo sitio tendrá acceso a artículos
particulares y archivos detallados.
Muchos lectores han dicho que
extrañaban al almanaque “Cosas Que
Hacer” en el periódico. Reanudaremos
este servicio en una forma abreviada en
el periódico, pero también incluiremos una
sección más amplia de la misma en el
Internet que le permitirá al usuario añadir
sus propios eventos.
Una nueva guía de negocios instará a
los residentes locales a comer y comprar
en el Alto Manhattan. Como residentes,
es buen negocio ayudar a los negocios
que ayudan a la comunidad.
Por nueve años el Manhattan Times
ha sido el espejo donde se ha reflejado
todo lo que ocurre en la comunidad. Las
conversaciones que oímos a nuestro
alrededor las terminamos leyendo en el
periódico. Estamos muy orgullosos de
nuestro periódico y aun más orgullosos de
la vibrante comunidad que nos apoya.
Ya que comenzamos el camino
hacia nuestro décimo aniversario, nos
recordamos de lo que dijo en la edición
de la semana pasada Janifer Wilson de
Uptown Sister’s Bookstroe en la Calle
156: “Lo tenemos que hacer por nosotros
mismos”.

Sunny Card Shop in business for 20 years, closes
B I E N E S
by Daniel P. Bader
In February of 1989, Marie Paek and her
husband Chang Paek bought the Sunny
Hallmark Card Shop on W. 181st Street
near Bennett Avenue. Marie remembers
she didn’t have a clue about how to run
the business.
“I was just a housewife,” she said,
standing in her shop in jeans and a black
fleece jacket, holding a cup of Dunkin’
Donuts coffee.
She’s still shy, but back then she said
she was so deferential that she wouldn’t
watch people in her store, seldom
looking them in the eye. Teenagers would
regularly shoplift from her, and she had
no idea about what holidays were coming
up and what she had to stock.
Then her customers stepped in.
“Especially the old ladies, they loved
us as a child,” she said.
Those ladies taught Marie about what
Jewish holidays were coming up and
what items she should order. The Paek’s
two daughters told their mother she had
to keep an eye on people in the store, and
that it was okay to be suspicious.
“After one year I knew about the
business,” Marie said.
As she speaks, one of her customers
comes in, a hand over her heart.
“I’m so sorry. I wish I could buy
everything. I’ll be back later this
morning,” she says.
Two big signs in the window announce
that the store is going out of business.
Other shoppers quiz Chang about
the discount price of various items –
everything has to go.
“I don’t know what to do about this,”
she said.
Her landlord, who she wouldn’t
identify, but whose name is listed on
the city’s Department of Buildings
documents as Raul Quiroz, chose to not
renew the Paek’s lease – and not because
of the Paeks.
Marie said she asked her landlord to
extend the lease for five years so they
could sell the business, but he declined,
instead offering a month-to-month lease.
“Who wants to buy without a lease?”
Marie asks. “So we are leaving emptyhanded.”
If a bill before the City Council called
the “Small Business Survival Bill”
sponsored by City Council Member
Robert Jackson becomes law, landlords
would have to negotiate in good faith
with a tenant over the lease renewals,
or be mandated to seek out an impartial
arbitrator. Jackson hopes the bill will be
voted on in September – too late for the
Paeks.
The landlord, Marie said, wants to
open a grocery in the space her racks of
cards occupy. Half a block away on Ft.
Washington Avenue there is a grocery
store, and kitty corner to Sunny Card
R A I C E S
Marie Paek holds a helium-filled “Thank You” balloon for her customers, whom she’ll miss after
closing her business of 20 years on W. 181st Street. (photo: Daniel P. Bader)
Shop is another.
The Paeks paid $4,300 in rent under
the last lease. Marie’s eyes narrow as
she looks through her window at the
empty Gruenbaum’s Bakery storefront. A
handwritten “For Rent” sign hangs in the
window.
It’s been empty for three years, she
said. That landlord was asking $12,000
for rent, but has recently lowered it to
$8,000, she said.
“Two years ago I almost gave up this
business,” she said.
But her two daughters stepped in and
helped out financially.
She and her husband, who live in New
Jersey, made enough to pay the bills she
said, but that was about it. They’ll both
have to find work now.
“We cannot save money,” she said.
Even if she was offered another lease,
it’s doubtful she could have stayed, given
the store’s profitability.
The last two renewals, she said, the
landlord asked for what she calls “key
money,” an illegal under-the-table
payment that amounted to $10,000 each
time.
Marie shrugs when asked if she knows
it is illegal for landlords to request such
payments. She’s not alone, she said, it
happens up and down the street.
“I believe this store will close and
a better one will open. As a Christian I
believe that,” Marie said. “God always
leads us better.”
Quiroz did not return messages left in
English and Spanish requesting comment
on Marie’s allegations.
What she’ll miss the most, she said,
are her customers – those little old ladies
who helped her out. “I’m really thankful
for their caring love and supporting us,”
Marie said, her eyes welling. “They’re
part of my life. I’ll never forget them.”
Sunny Card Shop closed on Feb. 28.

B I E N E S
R A I C E S
Cierra Sunny Card Shop
por Daniel P. Bader
En febrero del 1989, Marie Paek y su esposo
Chang Paek compraron la tienda Hallmark
Cards en el oeste de la Calle 181 cerca de
la Avenida Bennett. Marie recuerda que ella
no tenía ni idea acerca de cómo manejar un
negocio.
“Yo era solo una ama de casa”, dijo ella,
parada en su tienda en mahones y un abrigo
negro, tomando una taza de café de Dunkin
Donuts.
Todavía es tímida, pero antes, dijo ella, era
tan respetuosa que no podía mirar a la gente
en su tienda, mirándolos rara vez a los ojos.
Regularmente los adolescentes le robaban,
y no tenía ni idea de que días festivos se
aproximaban y que tenía que tener en la tienda.
Entonces sus clientes la ayudaron.
“Especialmente las mujeres mayores, ellas
nos amaban”, dijo ella.
Esas mujeres le enseñaron a Marie acerca
de que días festivos judíos se aproximaban y
que artículos debería de ordenar. Las dos hijas
de Paek le dijeron a su madre que tenía que
observar a la gente en la tienda, y que estaba
bien el sospechar.
“Luego de un año ya sabía acerca del
negocio”, dijo Marie.
Mientras hablaba, uno de sus clientes entra,
con una mano sobre su corazón.
“Lo siento tanto. Me gustaría poder comprar
todo. Regreso luego”.
Dos grandes letreros en la ventana anuncian
que la tienda va a cerrar.
Otros clientes le preguntan a Chang acerca
de los precios de descuento en algunos
artículos – todo tiene que venderse.
“Yo no se que hacer”, dijo ella.
El dueño de su edificio, el cual ella no quiso
identificar, decidió no renovarle el contrato a
Paek.
Marie dijo que ella le pidió que se le
extendiera el contrato a cinco años para así
poder vender su negocio, pero se le negó, en
su lugar ofreciéndole un contrato mensual.
“¿Quién quiere comprar sin un contrato?”,
pregunta Marie. “Así es que nos vamos con las
manos vacías”.
Si una ley puesta ante el Concejo Municipal
llamada la “Ley de Supervivencia de los
Pequeños Negocios” auspiciada por el miembro
del concejo Robert Jackson pasa a ser ley, los
dueños de edificios tienen que negociar en
buena fe con el inquilino sobre la renovación del
contrato, o buscar un arbitro imparcial. Jackson
espera que se vote por la ley en septiembre
– muy tarde para los Paeks.
Quiroz, dijo Marie, quiere abrir una tienda de
alimentos en ese lugar. A medio bloque de ahí
en la Avenida Ft. Washington hay una tienda de
alimentos, y en la otra esquina de Sunny Card
Shop hay otra.
Los Paeks pagaban $4,300 de renta en
el pasado contrato. Las cejas de Marie se
fruncieron mientras ella mira a través de su
ventana hacia la vacía Panadería Gruenbaum.
Un letrero escrito a mano “Se Alquila” cuelga en
la ventana.
Ha estado vacía por tres años, dijo ella. Ese
propietario estaba pidiendo $12,000 de renta
pero recientemente lo bajo a $8,000.
“Hace dos años atrás yo casi me rindo con el
negocio”, dijo ella.
Pero sus dos hijas la ayudaron
financieramente.
Ella y su esposo, quien vive en New Jersey,
hacían lo suficiente para pagar las deudas, pero
eso era todo. Ahora ambos tienen que buscar
trabajo.
“Nosotros no podíamos ahorrar dinero”, dijo
ella.
Aunque le hubieran ofrecido otro contrato,
era dudoso que se hubiera quedado, debido a
la rentabilidad del negocio.
Las últimas dos renovaciones, dijo ella, el
dueño pidió lo que ella llama “dinero por la
llave” un pago ilegal bajo la mesa que totaliza
$10,000 cada vez.
Marie se encoge de hombros cuando se le
pregunta si ella sabe que pagos como esos son
ilegales pedirlos. Ella no está sola, dijo ella,
sucede por toda la calle.
Llamadas a las oficinas del dueño—asi
como es listado en la base de datos del
Departmaneto de Edificios de la Ciudad de
Nueva York—no fueron devueltas.

Marie. “Dios siempre nos dirige mejor”.

su amor y apoyo hacia nosotros”, dijo Marie con
los ojos llenos de lagrimas.
“Son parte de mi vida. Nunca las olvidaré”.

Monólogos de la Vagina traen el teatro al Alto
Manhattan para una buena causa
Editor’s Note: This story ran in English last week.
por Daniel P. Bader
Muchos actores tomarían casi cualquier
papel que puedan conseguir, pero no Yolanny
Rodríguez. Ella está enamorada de su idioma
natal, y solo desea actuar en español.
“Yo pienso que hay suficientes personas
haciéndolo en inglés”, dijo ella. “Realmente no
es rebelión, a mi solo realmente me gusta mi
primer idioma”.
Ese impulso, combinado con la falta
de oportunidades de actuación en el Alto
Manhattan llevó a Rodríguez a montar en
español la presentación del 2006 de “Los
Monólogos de la Vagina” en East Harlem. El
espectáculo ganador de un premio fue escrito
por Eve Ensler en los 1990 y ha pasado a
ser sinónimos con los asuntos de la mujer,
particularmente violencia doméstica.
Cada monologo se relaciona más con esa
parte del cuerpo femenino, discutiendo sexo,
nacimiento, menstruación y otros tópicos.
Luego de su éxito con los monólogos, Ensler
fundó ‘V-Day’, una sin fines de lucro que
recauda dinero para la crear conciencia en la
violencia doméstica y le permite a productores
como Rodríguez a utilizar los monólogos de
gratis para recaudar dinero y conciencia.
Rodríguez ha presentado el espectáculo
todos los años en varios lugares en el Norte de
Manhattan, incluyendo la Librería Caliope y el
Ambar Room, y donado las ganancias al Centro
de Desarrollo de la Mujer Dominicana.
Durante los años ella incorporó su grupo de
teatro, llamado Las Tablas, y está produciendo
– no actuando – dos versiones de los
monólogos este año, una en inglés el 6 de
marzo a las 7:00 p.m. y una es español el 13 de
marzo a las 7:00 p.m. en CUNY en los Heights
en la Calle Cooper al oeste de Broadway entre
las Calles 207 e Isham.
Las ganancias de este año beneficiaran
el Programa de Violencia Domestica de la
Corporación de Mejoramiento del Norte de
Manhattan, el cual comenzó el 1998 y sirve
aproximadamente 300 mujeres al año.

Parte del elenco del idioma inglés de los Monólogos de la Vagina que va a ser presentada en el Alto Manhattan
el 6 de marzo: (desde la izquierda) Chinatsu Uehara, Patricia Thomas, Annelisse Rains, Tanyika Carrey, Maria
Lizardo, Jennifer Welles.
“Nosotros trabajamos con la mujer en todos
los puntos”, dijo Paula Walter, directora de
desarrollo del NMIC.
Dos abogados están dedicados a trabajar
con mujeres que son maltratadas y ayudar a
pasar a través de los asuntos de visa, custodia,
visitación y pensión alimenticia.
Walzer señala que NMIC no da terapia
– dejan eso para el campo de la medicina
– pero da opciones de orientación (ayudando a
una víctima a darse cuenta de cuales son sus
opciones en una situación).
“Nuestra experiencia es en vivienda y apoyo”,
dijo ella, pero añadió, que NMIC a menudo
refiere mujeres maltratadas que podrían
necesitar terapia a asociados en el campo de la
medicina.
Rodríguez, quien trabaja en NMIC como
directora de proyectos, dijo que presentando los
“Monólogos de la Vagina” en dos idiomas es un
gran trabajo, y realmente son dos producciones
completas con dos elencos.
En el espectáculo, cada mujer está sola
en el escenario, vestida de negro. Hay 13
actores que hablan inglés y 12 que hablan
español, todos los cuales están trabajando
en la producción de gratis. “Yo dejo que la
persona decida como interpretar su pedazo”,
dijo Rodríguez, pero ella los entrena, si están
interesados en actuar la pieza en lugar de hacer
una dramática lectura.
“Yo siempre animo a las personas a mover
su cuerpo antes de aprenderse sus líneas”,
dijo ella. Entre los dos, español e inglés, dijo
Rodríguez, el ritmo de la presentación completa
es diferente.
“Los eróticos monólogos son mas sexy en
inglés”, dijo ella. “Hay algo acerca de la ‘s’ en
inglés. Es como la ‘r’ en español.
Pero del otro lado, ella añadió, “las que son
dramáticas son más dramáticas en español”.
Los boletos tienen un costo de $20 para
asientos V.I.P, $15 para público en general y
$10 para estudiantes y envejecientes, y pueden
ser comprados en www.ticketderby.com (evento
i.d. 223 para la presentación en inglés, 224
para el espectáculo en español) o en la puerta
el día del evento.
