Via The Stuyvesant Town Report:"None of the Oval Essentials are still 100% complete, but today marked the start of open house for two Essentials--Oval Study and Oval Film--with Oval Lounge and Oval Kids holding open houses tomorrow. Remarkably (well, not really) Oval Kids is way behind schedule, with the patio still a mess and the interior an equal mess. If this opens tomorrow, it may well be called Oval Death Trap, as surely parents will have to watch out that their kids don't trip over work either sloppily done or still not done. So bring your cameras and collect yourselves in front of Oval Kids between 11am and 2pm to see how many accidents you can manage to catch in the making!"
Hurry! Hurry! [The Stuyvesant Town Report]

As their email suggested I saw for myself and was unimpressed.
I left one of their 6pm-8pm open houses when refreshments ran out after 45 min. These rooms are TINY, people. I realized while standing in there that each one of these Oval spaces has the same footprint as 2 two-bedroom apts (approximately 1500 square feet). Think about it: 1500 sq feet to serve a community of 25,000 people?
Nice reflection of the trees off the glass, good example of how to install windows if you want to kill birds

Those little birdie carcasses won't be around long because you'll see maintenance people constantly hovering around with their brooms and dustpans making sure everything is clean, nice and that no ghastly NON Members would dare set foot there.
Those damm birds weren't Oval Essentials Members anyhow.
