Nostrand Avenue and NYT

Presumably every CH res has read or heard about the NYT piece on the Landmarking of part of our fab hood. (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/24/nyregion/24journal.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) They talk about what's happening on Nostrand Ave...just a question, but what do folks (both newbies, old heads like myself, and wannabe's ) want along the avenue? And please keep the thoughts on the positive side (I see vacant spaces along the Avenue - so this is not about moving the long time stores out...but rather what would mix well with the old that is there now). Enquiring minds want to know....

I want a sit down restaurant , affordable Thai or Mexican or wine bar or coffee shop

(also there was already a post about this article right below yours)

A strip joint that serves soy milk.

You're more likely to find a strip joint that serves breast milk.

I would like to see some type of dance/exercise studio. I live in Clinton Hill right now and there is a dance studio Embora, that I really enjoy. They have a variety of classes throughout the week -- from yoga, to belly dance, salsa, to capeiora, etc. I'll be moving to Crown Heights next month, and I will definitely miss that place.

I want an exercise studio that teaches pole dancing.

that serves rice milk.

I'd prefer one that serves only the finest of Cambodian breast milks.

Do the Polish really dance that different?
