Stuyvesant Town residents at 522, 524 and 526 East 20th Street file into the basement of their building to collect the dinner
Tishman Speyer is providing to them on day nine of their gas outage. A Sty Spy tells us about the culinary delights being serving in the "luxury" rental property:
"...rancid salads, wraps and baked ziti. Most of the people eating there were the Stuyvesant Town security guards and the maintenance workers. Not surprising it is being served in the cinder block basement instead of one of the Oval Amenities. Go figure. The food is from Bruno's and I don't eat food from there as they consistently get poor inspection ratings from the NYC Department of Health.
The StuyTown Resident website they have suggested we use in the past few months, still only has the original posting from 10/20 and no updates."
Tishman Speyer has provided residents with very little information regarding the outage and can't say when the gas will be restored.

Ah, yes, Bruno's. One of the "approved caterers" for the Oval Lounge. Yum!
But E Line...where else would you find a $7 jar of pasta sauce???
Was this photo taken in Stuyvesant Town or Auschwitz? I have a hard time differentiating the two these day.
Stuy Town's name should be changed to Fawlty Towers.
Is the breadline open for breakfast and lunch? Who decided that one meal a day is enough? Why a Bruno's breadline? What about Gracefully or Lenz's? Why not let the affected residents order in for breakfast, lunch and dinner from restaurants of their choice and reimburse their receipts? Is this supposed to substitute for the lack of lease-specified services that might require Tish-Spy to provide residents of these buildings with the compensation for their troubles, as mentioned by Dan Garodnik in his letter of October 28 to the affected residents.
They wouldn't be able to set up a breadline in some of the buildings or tenants would be mingling and sharing not only with security but with water bugs & rodents. This is pathetic. Anonymous is right. Tenants should have had 3 meals/day with their choice of food like they would have had if their apartments were normal. You can't even joke anymore about the "luxury" of living here when people can't use their stoves or do laundry. It's Tenement Town.
Did you guys notice that the breadline shown on the Obama informercial is the same photo Luxie posted a few months ago. Of all the breadlines in all the towns in the world, he walked into ours.

Shoot, I wish I knew about this. I totally would have been down for a free dinner.
I'd love to volunteer to work at the StuyTown Thanksgiving soup kitchen - where do I sign up?
