That's very good news for the employees. I used to love that restaurant but the last few visits left me quite dissatisfied because the service was so poor. This explains one reason that there was such negativity. I may give them another try since their food was rather delicious although pricey.

It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up the…Read More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base

Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much larger…Read More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
