Local Girls Make Good
The All Star team from the minors
division of the girls softball program
in Downtown Little League (DLL) is
closing in on the State Champi-
onships. The team, comprised of
nine- and ten-year olds from Lower
Manhattan, has blossomed in the
space of three years to become the
No. 1 squad in Manhattan and a
major force in the New York
City/Long Island region of Little
League Softball. As this issue of the
Broadsheet goes the press, the girls are
competing in double-elimination
Section championships, from which
the winner will advance to the State
Championship. The teams first game
at the sectional level was on July 13,
against the Staten Island Champions,
resulting in a one-zero loss for DLL.
Next, the DLL girls headed to Long
Island on July 15, where they bested
Oceanside Little League in a seven-
to-two victory. On July 17, they went
back to Long Island and beat Garden
City South, two-zip. This marks the
first Section wins in the history of
DLL Softball. Next up: DLL faces
Staten Island again. Heres wishing
Godspeed to the pride of Down-
town.

was slightly less cheerful than the original. (See story on page 2.)

The Zadroga Act, which funds
healthcare for responders and sur-
vivors affected by the terrorist attacks
of September 11, 2001, may soon be
extended to cover prostate cancer.
The Zadroga Act currently covers
several dozen diseases (including
multiple types of cancer), but
prostate cancer is not among them.
The law gives the administrator of
the program authority, however, to
expand coverage when scientific evi-
dence emerges showing that other
diseases are likely to be connected to
exposure to toxins contained in
World Trade Center debris. That
process was activated in May, when
the Patrolmans Benevolent Associa-
tion (PBA), the union that represents
New York police officers, filed a pe-
tition with the administrators of the
World Trade Center Health Program
(which was created by the Zadroga
Act), arguing that prostate cancer was
occurring at higher rates among peo-
ple exposed to World Trade Center
debris.
After reviewing the PBA peti-
tion and the evidence that it was
based on, Dr. John Howard, the
World Trade Center Health Program
Administrator, determined that
prostate cancer should be added, ex-
plains Kimberly Flynn, who co-
founded the advocacy group, 9/11
Environmental Action, and also
chairs the World Trade Center Health
Programs Survivors Steering Com-
mittee, which advises the program
about how best to address the health
concerns of people who lived,
worked, or attended school in Lower
Manhattan on September 11, 2001,
or in the days that followed. That
decision was based on decades of ev-
idence, including recent research,
carefully sifted through by the two
preeminent scientific agencies on
cancer-causing substances, one na-
tional and one international: the Na-
tional Toxicology Program and the
Freedom, Confinement, and In Between

Museum of the City of New York,
the institution that tried to rescue the
financially troubled Lower Manhat-
tan cultural mainstay, but recently
severed connections with it. The Sea-
port Museum announced July 8 the
appointment of a transitional board
of directors and an Interim Presi-
dent, who will maintain the organiza-
tions current operations while
reviewing options for its future.
The transitional boards three
members are Christie Huus and
David Sheehan, both appointed by
the Mayors office, and Tracey
Knuckles, appointed by Kate Levin,
the Citys Commissioner of Cultural
Affairs. Ms. Huus is director of
strategic planning and development
in Mayor Bloombergs office of City-
wide Event Coordination. Mr. Shee-
han is director of fiscal operations on
Mayor Bloombergs staff. Ms.
Knuckles is the general counsel at the
Department of Cultural Affairs.
Ms. Levin, the DCA Commis-
sioner, said in a statement that, in an
effort to maintain the Seaport Mu-
seums status as a nonprofit and keep
alive an organization highly valued by
local community

The City has nearly completed a
major revamp of the Water Street
corridor, the primary artery of vehi-
cle and pedestrian traffic on Down-
towns east side, but long a forgotten
stepchild of Lower Manhattan
boulevards.
Improvements include two new
pedestrian plazas and a reconfigured
streetscape designed to calm traffic
and safeguard pedestrians. (These
measures include several new neck-
downscurb extensions that jut
into an intersection, reducing the
number of traffic lanes, and thus
forcing vehicles to slow down, while
also shortening the length of the
pedestrian crossing.) Still to come are
aesthetic touches like the installation
of 27 new, specially designed street
lamps. The new pedestrian plazas, at
Coenties Slip (between Water and
Pearl Streets) and Gouverneur Lane
(between Water and Front Streets),
have become car-free miniature vil-
lage greens for the Financial District,
featuring open space, plantings, and
street furniture.
The plan, a joint project of the
Citys Department of Transportation
(DOT) and the Department of City
Planning, was announced in March,
and garnered enthusiastic backing
from Community Board 1 (CB1). It
was inspired by an earlier research
project commissioned by the Al-
liance for Downtown New York.
Ro Sheffe, who chairs CB1s Fi-
nancial District committee, said
when the plan was announced, the
former street configuration was,
dangerous to pedestrians. We had
several serious injuries and fatalities
in recent years. And it was visually
uninviting.
In conjunction with the visible,
structural changes implemented by
DOT, the Department of City Plan-
ning has changed the zoning regula-
tions for the area, so that the new
pedestrian plazas will be legally able
to host outdoor events. This has
given rise to a new program called
Water Street Pops!a series of free,

covering the Lower Manhattan neighborhoods of Battery Park City, The Financial District, Tribeca and the Seaport
tional board over the next few
months. During this time our hope is
that a successor steward will take re-
sponsibility for the museums mis-
sion and collection. The new
boards first action was to appoint the
Seaport Museums Waterfront Direc-
tor Jonathan Boulware as Interim
President.
This is the beginning of a new
chapter in the Museums story, Mr.
Boulware said. The Museum of the
City of New York stepped away for
legitimate reasons, after putting in an
outstanding effort. We worked side
by side with them for 21 months and
Peking and Wavertree are the flagships of the South Street Seaport Museums fleet of
historic vessels. The latter, launched in 1885, is the largest iron sailing vessel still afloat
anywhere in the world, and will benefit from a grant to help fund her restoration

As an acre of greenery opposite the Criminal
Court on Centre Street replaces an unsightly mu-
nicipal parking lot, the name given this new
plazaCollect Pond Parkevokes 400 years of
New York City history. The soggy origins of the
block containing the new park pre-date the 17th century encounter of the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam and the Native Americans who inhabited
the woods, fields, streams and ponds that were pre-colonial Manhattan.
At that time, this block, bounded by Centre, Leonard, Lafayette and Franklin Streets, and the surrounding area were the site of Collect Pond, a five-
acre, 60-foot deep pond fed by an underground stream. As New York City, in its early years confined below Wall Street, grew uptown, its more noxious
industries, such as slaughterhouses and tanneries, were exiled north of the City to the banks of the Collect Pond. By 1802, the once glistening Collect
Pond had become polluted, and the Common Council voted that it be filled in with soil from the neighboring Bunker Hill (thereby leveling what had
been a namesake of the more famous Boston promontory).
The elimination of Collect Pond was completed by 1813, at the very time that poorer immigrants were beginning to arrive in New York City in
greater numbers. Many settled in this still somewhat swampy
area, which took its name, Five Points, from the intersection
of five streets: Mulberry, Anthony (now Worth), Cross (now
Park Row), Orange (now Baxter) and Little Water (which no
longer exists) at its center.
Five Points became the most notorious neighborhood in
New York City. Its ramshackle, overcrowded, sinking buildings
were a breeding ground for crime. But, at the westernmost
edge of the Five Points neighborhood, the City erected, on
the block of the current Collect Pond Park, a bulwark against
this criminal underworld. Built in 1838 as The Halls of Justice
to house the Court of Special Sessions and the Police Court,
The Tombs gained greater fame as a prison. Its Egyptian
Revival style (based on an ancient mausoleum) gave rise to the
buildings Tombs nickname.
The Tombs was visited by Charles Dickens in 1842, and
it was the final place of confinement of Herman Melvilles
obstinate, laconic Bartleby the Scrivener. The building was re-
placed on the same site in 1900 by a second Tombs prison.
Both Tombs prisons were plagued by the sites watery origins.
Because of the underground stream that had once fed Collect
Pond, both buildings were dank and structurally unsound.
In 1893, one block to the north of The Tombs, the City
constructed the Criminal Courts Building, which was the prin-
cipal criminal courthouse in New York County until the con-
struction in 1939 of the current Criminal Courts Building at
100 Centre Street. A Bridge of Sighs over Franklin Street
connected the Criminal Courts Building to The Tombs to facilitate the transportation of prisoners from their cells
to the courtrooms. In 1911, the Criminal Courts Building was the site of the manslaughter trial of the Triangle
Shirtwaist Factory owners, which resulted in their
acquittal. Both the Criminal Courts Building and
The Tombs were razed in 1946, with the construc-
tion of the current Criminal Courts Building di-
rectly across Centre Street.
Today, The Tombs consists of two buildings
on the opposite side of Centre Street: one at the
north end of the 100 Centre Street Criminal
Courts Building and the other just across White
Street, connected by a bridge. Although the
Tombs nickname has endured, the Bridge of
Sighs sobriquet appears not to have.
As this article goes to press, the finishing
touches on Collect Pond Park are being completed.
The chain link fence that surrounds it is slated to
come down soon. Although the park benches and
squares of green will provide some relief to the
court personnel and others who will frequent the
park, it is a far cry from the pristine beauty of the
colonial-era Collect Pond. But it is a decided im-
provement over the noxious slaughterhouses, for-
bidding jail and asphalt parking lot that
successively occupied this block.
The author, a lawyer, adapted this article from
the book he is writing, New Yorks Legal Landmarks:
A Guide to Legal Edifices, Institutions, Lore, History and
Curiosities on the Citys Streets.

this dismal fronted pile of bastard Egyptian, like an
enchanter s palace in a melodrama?

International Agency for Research
on Cancer. Both science agencies
have now linked exposures to arsenic
and to cadmium to developing
prostate cancer. And arsenic and cad-
mium are both documented con-
stituents of the toxic dust and smoke
released by the World Trade Center
disaster.
But Dr. Howards preliminary
decision is now subject to public
comment, through August 1. Elected
officials and community leaders are
calling for prostate cancer to be
added to the list of diseases covered
by the Zadroga Act, and are asking
Lower Manhattan residents to weigh
in during the public comment period.
Congressman Jerrold Nadler
said that adding prostate cancer to
the list of diseases covered by the
Zadroga Act, is another critical step
in making certain that 9/11 survivors
and responders get the health care
they need and deserve. As we see ad-
ditional illnesses emerge, it is crucial
that we expand 9/11 health coverage
to all of those illnesses so that none
of our heroes are left to suffer with-
out care.
Catherine McVay Hughes, who
chairs Community Board 1 (and who
helped organize local support for
passage of the Zadroga Act for years
prior to its 2010 ratification), said, a
recent report from Mount Sinai Hos-
pital highlights the need to look again
at whether additional cancers such as
prostate cancer, one of the most fre-
quent types of cancer among 9/11
first responders, should be included
as World Trade Center Related
Health Conditions.
This decision is of direct con-
cern not only to first responders,
such as police officers and firemen,
but also to Lower Manhattan resi-
dents: Anybody who lived or worked
here on September 11, 2001 (or in
the months following) is also eligible
for healthcare under the Zadroga
Act, if they are ever diagnosed with
a disease deemed to be related to the
disaster.
Anybody wishing to add a com-
ment before August 1 is invited to do
so by mailing a written statement to
the National Institute of Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Docket Of-
fice, Robert A. Taft Laboratories,

but later re-rigged as a schooner. She joined the Seaport Museums family of vintage ves-
sels in 1970. Today, Pioneer is used to educational programming and cruises.
Too hot to cook? Tired of ordering in? Bored with
the same old, same old? Want a meal that seems like a
mini vacation? A new neighborhood to explore?
Taking a boatany kind of a boat, even a ferry
to a previously unexplored neighborhood, especially if
its in another borough, is a bit of an adventure. If a
restaurant there summons childhood memories of sum-
mer at the beachdespite not seeing a sandcastle
were likely to be enchanted even before we eat.
The restaurant is Brooklyn Crab (brooklyncrab.com),
in Red Hook. It is a three-story structure whose height, large windows and
outdoor decks afford great views of New York Harbor. The beachy feel
comes from mounted sharks and crabs and other nautical touches, out-
door picnic table seating
and colorful umbrellas.
Adults may feel nostalgic,
and kids may build some
memories of their own,
playing the unsophisticated
mini-golf course that is on
the premises.
As one would expect
from a restaurant named
Brooklyn Crab, the menu
is seafood-heavy, especially
crabfeaturing King crab
legs, Snow crab legs and
Dungeness crab. Other
kinds of crab often make
appearances as specials.
Oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, lobster and a fish are also on the
menu prepared raw, steamed, fried, in chowder, and in rolls, as the case may
be. For the seafood-averse there are chicken and pork sandwiches and meat
specials. Desserts include Steves Authentic Key Lime Tarts, root beer floats
and ice cream sundaes.
The boat is the New York Water Taxis free Destination Red Hook Sum-
mer Ferry (nywatertaxi.com/tours/redhook), which leaves from Wall Streets Pier
11 Slip A. It makes a continuous loop stopping at Red Hooks Fairway Market,
then Ikea, and then back to Pier 11. The ferry, which operates weekends
through Labor Day, runs every twenty-five minutes starting at 10:15 am. Bikes
are allowed on the ferry. The final trip lands back at Pier 11 at 9:30 pm. Brook-
lyn Crab is a on the other side of the Fairway Market, at 24 Reed Street, not
even a five-minute walk from the dock.
There are other
restaurants and places to
explore in the area, in-
cluding Red Hook Food
Vendors (redhookfoodven-
dors.com), at the Red Hook
Recreational Area; the
Red Hook Winery on
Pier 41 (redhookwinery.com);
Baked (bakednyc.com), a
bakery with heavenly
marshmallows; Cacao
Prieto (cacaoprieto.com),
where bean to bar choco-
lates are produced and
sold; and Look North

ITS JUST NOT SUMMER
WITHOUT A SEAFOOD
SHACK BY THE SHORE

Views of the HarborAre a
Free Boat Ride Away

By Marti Ann Cohen-Wolf

we are grateful to them for the time
that they spent here. But I accepted
this job because I believe that the
City is behind the South Street Sea-
port Museum. I believe that the
DCA is making an earnest effort to
find a partner who can help save the
Museum. If I didnt think there was
hope, I wouldnt be here.
In the meantime, Mr. Boul-
ware said, were going to push to be
a going concern. Our galleries are
still ravaged by Sandy and have to re-
main closedeven though our col-
lections are safe and undamaged. But
we are looking to continue existing
education programs both afloat and
ashore. The historic schooner Pioneer
will continue sailing and the Bowne
print shop is still welcoming visitors.
These are all part of the Museums
living-history mission.
Looking ahead, Mr. Boulware
said, the real challenges are more
long-term than short-term. Revenue
is a huge question. But the Seaport
Museum is worth saving. The story
of South Street is the story of the
founding of the United States. The
commerce that came through here
built both New York and the nation.
David Sheldon, a spokesman
for Save Our Seaport, an advocacy
group seeking preservation of the
Seaport Museum, as well as the
neighborhoods historic district and
waterfront, said, it is heartening to
see DCA take a hand once again
the Seaport Museum is a cultural and
historical asset. It is also encouraging
to see Jonathan Boulware take the
helm. He is somebody who can wade
into trouble, as he did literally during
Hurricane Sandy, and will do figura-
tively now. But it is embarrassing that
New York City, of all places, has a
maritime museum that is treated like
an orphan. The Seaport Museum has
been handed off to a succession of
authorities with agendas that have
not always been clear. Thats why so
many of us who are concerned with
the Seaport are left guessing about its
future.
Mr. Sheldon cited as an example
the Citys Economic Development
Corporation (EDC), which has part-
nered with the shopping mall devel-
oper Howard Hughes Corporation
on the redevelopment of the Seaport
District. The EDCs primary con-
cern is making deals and spurring de-
velopment, he said. The good
news, in this case, is that the DCA is
in charge. Their primary concern is
the cultural life of the City.
What is crucial now, Mr. Shel-
don said, is what comes next. And
that has to be more involvement by
the Lower Manhattan community in
decisions about the Seaport Mu-
seums future.
In a separate, but related devel-
opment, the Seaport Museum may
soon receive a $1.65 million grant to
help restore Wavertree, which is part
of the Seaport Museums fleet of
historic vessels. The funding was al-
located by City Council member
Margaret Chin. When MCNY presi-
dent Susan Henshaw Jones gave her
farewell remarks to staffers at the
South Street Seaport Museum at the
end of June, she announced the
grant.
Wavertree, launched in 1885, was
one of the last iron-hulled cargo sail-
ing ships built and is currently the
largest iron sailing vessel afloat any-
where in the world. The ship was ac-
quired by the South Street Seaport
Museum in 1968, and designated a
national landmark in 1978. Like all of
the half-dozen historic ships in the
Seaport Museums fleet, she is threat-
ened by lack of maintenance and an
uncertain future, a result of the Mu-
seums precarious finances. This an-
nouncement provided a glimmer of
hope to supporters of the Seaport
Museum who were disconsolate over
the departure of Ms. Henshaw Jones
and other MCNY staffers, who had
spent the past almost two years try-
ing to bring new life to the financially
troubled institution.
The irony of much-needed
funding for this historic vessel, said
Mr. Sheldon, is that Wavertree had
been pushed by the Citys Economic
Development Corporation out of its
berthing and is now inaccessible to
both the public and museum staffers
in its temporary mooring at Pier 15.
He added that the Bloomberg ad-
ministration had previously decided
to rebuild Pier 15 for tourists, remov-
ing essential water berthing areas that
had been under Seaport Museum
control for decades.
This claw back of Museum
spaces, Mr. Sheldon observed,
both at the former Street of Ships
and in the uplands of the South
Street Seaport Historic District fol-
lowed a familiar theme: The City de-
nied the Museum opportunities to
create a reliable stream of lease rev-
enue, which would be used to fund
its educational activities. He said
that this pattern contradicted the in-
tent of the original 1969 Urban Re-
newal Plan that sought to preserve
the maritime legacy of New York
harbor. The Seaport, now defined
by shopping mall giant, Howard
Hughes Corporation, is devoid of
maritime-related retailers, in favor of
redundant national chain stores.
Danai L. Pointer, a spokesman
for the Citys Department of Cultural
Affairs, which oversees the South
Street Seaport Museum, said, the
City hopes to find a private sector en-
tity to steward the Seaport Museums
mission and collection. In the interim
the Economic Development Corpo-
ration, the City agency that is over-
seeing the redevelopment of the
Seaport neighborhood, has agreed
to take on a larger rolesome main-
tenance, repair, assistanceuntil a
new cultural partner is identified.
Ms. Pointer added that, the Attor-
ney General would have to be con-
sulted if a steward is not found,
which seemed to hint at the possible
dissolution of the Museum.
NEW LEADERSHIP FOR
SEAPORT MUSEUM
Hot Rods, Cool Restaurant: For those old enough to remember them, two cars from the late
1950s, early 1960s play up the nostalgic feel of Brooklyn Crab. For others, theyre just cool.
The yellow car is a customized Chevy El Camino.
Panorama: At Brooklyn Crab, the second floor deck, breezy even on a hot day, offers great views
of the harbor. Views from the third floor, with its roll up windows, are even better.
At sunset, patrons are eager for seats outdoors or by the windows.
Lower Manhattan viewed from
the ferry: On the trip home, the
ferry offers eye-catching views of
Downtowns changing skyline.

Thank Guide Almighty!
Lets face it: Some kinds of information
are just easier to find and absorb the old-
fashioned wayfrom the printed page,
held in your hands. The 2013 edition of
The Doormans Guide to Lower Manhat-
tan is delivered to your lobbies with the
regular fortnightly issue of the Broad-
sheet. This handy reference is meticu-
lously researched, invitingly laid out, and
lavishly illustrated. Consult it for every-
thing from Restaurants to Shopping, from
Kids to Culture, and from Automobiles to
Real Estate. It contains everything you
need to know about how to get the most
out of living and working Downtown.
To the Editor:
Thank you for the update. I support
the bike share program but there are
other safer locations for a Citi Bike
rack right by Liberty Street (instead
of the one outside Gateway Plaza)
which could be beneficial to all par-
ties and non-controversial.
When considering bike rack lo-
cations, safety and security should be
a paramount. To this point, adding
riders who are mostly unfamiliar with
BPC to a pedestrian and bike inter-
section is not safe planning. The
north-west intersection of Liberty
Street and South End Avenue (at the
north-east edge of Gateway Plaza) is
already busy: It includes Cafe Ex-
press, NY Kids Club, the entrance to
St. Josephs Chapel, the childrens
playground, the Police Memorial, a
dog run and the main access to the
parks and marina. That specific area
already presents a bike safety issue
since bikers ride down the sidewalk
because they do not see the tempo-
rary but clearly-marked bike lane in
the road. Adding more bikes to that
spot will not help.
We can solve numerous local is-
sues and also have a great bike rack
location if they would consider mov-
ing the Citi Bike racks across the
street to the south-east corner of
Liberty and South End Avenue near
the front of One World Financial
Center, where there is already a no-
standing zone. Tour buses and black
cars sit there waiting and unloading
even though its a no standing
zone.
Adding the Citi Bike racks there
would ensure there is no standing of
any type of tour bus or cars at that
location. It would also be a safe and
less-congested place for cyclists to
mount and dismount, ensure sight
lines for people turning at the corner
and force drivers to slow down.
There are also clear sight lines to the
bike path from there and it is a better
location for when the regular bike
path is re-opened along West Street
(supposedly at the end of 2014 or
so).
Tammy A. Meltzer
To the Editor:
Mr. Taustine laments that unregu-
lated bike parking has relegated the
City to a junkyard appearance as well
as aggravating access for emergency
and sanitation vehicles.
Bravo, sirbut certainly you
havent gone far enough!
All street parking of private au-
tomobiles should be banned for the
very reasons so eloquently stated by
Mr. Taustineall those indolent
oversized steel and rubber rats are an
infestation for the eyes, safety , and
spirits of Gothamites. Sad to say, the
place looks a tad 20th century, like a
metallic graveyard of misplaced val-
ues. More central parking terminals
for the private cars coupled with
more discreet and abundant bike
parking for the cycles would make
New York City not only more livable
for locals and enchanting to visitors
but also a world leader in civilized
urban life. A little inconvenient for all
involved? To be sure! Impossible?
Now tell me why . . .

Only 19 minutes. Thats how much time the driver from whose front seat
these photos were taken swears he usually has to budget to zip from the Battery to
222nd street and the Harlem River, a route that is part of his daily summer routine.
But on this July morning, traffic was backed up from the United Nations through the
East 60s. Our correspondent at first assumed that it was the usual flat tire or fender-
bender causing hardening of the arteriesa suspicion that seemed to be confirmed
by the presence of flashing police lights
But as he approached the scene of the snarl, he noticed that the police car was
moving, albeit at a snails pace. Drawing closer still, he saw not a disabled vehicle,
but an able-bodied woman, whose jaunt on a velocipede slowed all other traffic on
the FDR Drive to the speed of a cen-
tipede. As she chugged along at
considerably less than the posted
limit of 40 miles per hour, our ob-
server thought that her balance was
impeccable, evening if she seemed
slightly unbalanced. The Broad-
sheet supports saving the environ-
ment as much as anybody, but we
think this was neither the time nor
the place for such pedaling concerns.
Lilac in Bloom
One of New York harbors grand dames is the Lilac, the last triple-expansion steam engine lighthouse-ten-
der. Mary Habstritt and Gerry Weinstein purchased the maritime relic years ago, in the hopes of restoring a
fine example of steam engine technology that lasted two centuries before gas and diesel engine power.
Lilac was moored at Pier
25 when Sandy struck. While
the historic vessel survived with
little damage, Pier 25s power
system and public amenities
were damagedbut have
since been rebuilt. The pier re-
opened in June.
Amidships aboard the
Lilac is the engine room, with
two sets of three different-sized
cylinders visible. All the parts
are there and ready to assem-
ble, says Mr. Weinstein, but
its the boilers that would cost a pretty penny to either restore or replace. The effort to restore the
Lilac has inspired a fundraising campaign that is currently underway.
In the meantime, Ms. Habstritt has created new events to draw visitors to the Lilac. Once a month,
artists and craftspeople sell their wares on the open deck, with
music and a cash bar, in an event dubbed Radio Lilac. The next
Radio Lilac takes place Saturday, August 21.
Admission to Lilac is free. Exploring the old boat is a lot of
fun. In the meantime, on Saturday, July 27, there will be chil-
dren's activities from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, followed by an art ex-
hibit from Site95, a non-profit organization that presents work
by emerging and established artists in temporary urban loca-
tions. A tour will be led by Site95 artists and curator Meaghan
Kent.
