Hamilton County Judge Robert Winkler announced today that he will be extending the restraining order on the city's parking plan until April 3, potentially delaying any ruling on the city's plan to lease its parking assets to the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority for another two weeks.
Winkler's office told CityBeat that the judge has been focusing on a murder case, and the delay will give him more time to review the details of the parking plan's case before giving a ruling. The delay does not necessarily mean a ruling is delayed until April 3, and it's possible Winkler could rule within the next two weeks, according to his office.
Meg Olberding, city spokesperson, says the city is approaching a "pressure point" with the latest delay.
"We respect the court's right to do that (the extension), and know that every day that we cannot make the parking deal happen is a day that we are closer to having to lay people off," she says.
Olberding says the city is so far unsure what the exact effect of the delay will be. The city has repeatedly warned that extending the legal conflict for too long will force the city to make cuts to balance the budget for fiscal year 2014, which begins July 1.
City Council passed the parking plan in a 5-4 vote on March 6, but the plan was almost immediately held up by a temporary restraining order from Winkler after he received a lawsuit from Curt Hartman, an attorney who represents the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), on behalf of local activists who oppose the plan and argue it should be subject to referendum.
The legal dispute is centered around City Council's use of emergency clauses, which remove a 30-day waiting period on approved legislation, and the city claims they also remove the possibility of referendum.
In a hearing presided by Winkler on March 15, Hartman argued the city charter's definition of emergency clauses is ambiguous, and legal precedent supports siding with voters' right to referendum when there is ambiguity.
Terry Nestor, who represented the city, said legal precedent requires the city to defer to state law as long as state law is not contradicted in the city charter.
Cincinnati's city charter does not specify whether emergency legislation is subject to referendum, but state law explicitly says it's not.
Opponents of the parking plan say they're concerned the plan will give up too much control over the city's parking meters, which they say could lead to skyrocketing parking rates.
The city says rates are set at 3 percent or inflation, but the rates can change with a unanimous vote from a special committee, approval from the city manager and a final nod from the Port Authority. The special committee would comprise of four people appointed by the Port Authority and one appointed by the city manager.
The city is pursuing the parking plan to help balance the city's deficit for the next two fiscal years and enable economic development projects, including the construction of a downtown grocery store ("Parking Stimulus," issue of Feb. 27).
The Ohio Rights Group could be asking voters to legalize medical marijuana and industrial hemp statewide in 2013 or 2014. The Coalition for a Drug-Free Greater Cincinnati says drug approval should be up to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but that may not matter because polls so far shows medical marijuana getting widespread approval from Ohio voters. The Ohio Rights Group argues its amendment would help Ohioans by opening up better health treatments and boosting the economy. Whether that will be enough to land the issue on the ballot remains to be seen.
Mayor Mark Mallory revised the city manager's budget plan
to carry out less layoffs but more cuts to outside spending and
recreation centers. Mallory's changes will restore 18 firefighter
positions, 17 police positions, three inspector positions at the Health
Department and two positions at the Law Department, reducing the total
layoffs to 161, with 49 of those being police positions and 53 being
firefighter positions. But it will come with more cuts to third-party
agencies, including the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, the Center
for Closing the Health Gap and Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of
Commerce, and two closed recreation centers. The plan will also use
about $500,000 in recently discovered revenue. Mallory said the layoffs and cuts have to be made in part because of multiple outside factors, including reduced state funding and courts holding up the city's parking plan.
The first hearing on the city's fiscal year 2014 budget proposals will be tonight at the Duke Energy Convention Center at 6:30 p.m. The public will be asked to give feedback on the budget plan put forward by the city manager and mayor, which would lay off 161 city employees, including cops and firefighters, to help balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit.
CityBeat editorial: "Cincinnati's 1 Percent."
The Ohio Department of Transportation has raised its estimated price for the MLK/I-71 Interchange project by about $10 million to $30 million after meetings with business owners in Cincinnati's uptown area. It's so far unclear how the project's costs will be divided between the city, state and federal governments. Originally, Cincinnati was looking to pay for its share of the project through its plan to lease the city's parking assets, but that plan is being held up in court.
City Council approved a resolution yesterday supporting a statewide ban on injection wells used to dispose wastewater during the hydraulic fracturing — "fracking" — process, a drilling process that injects millions of gallons of water underground to unlock natural gas and oil reserves. The injection wells are a vital part of a fracking boom that has helped revitalize economies in Ohio and other states and could help combat climate change, but environmentalists and health advocates are concerned about the unintended consequences the wells could have on nearby water sources ("Boom, Bust or Both?" in issue of June 6, 2012).
The Ohio House approved changes to the state's third grade reading requirement that will relax standards teachers must meet to provide reading instruction and tutoring services for young students. The current law requires teachers to have taught reading for at least three years, but the bill approved by the Ohio House would eliminate that requirement.
Mayoral candidate John Cranley says choosing Cincinnati's next police chief should wait until the next mayor is elected in November.

An amendment in the Ohio House budget bill last week would make it so universities have to decide between providing voting information to students or retaining millions of dollars in out-of-state tuition money. The amendment would make it so universities have to classify students as in-state — a classification that means lower tuition rates — when providing documents necessary for voting. Republicans claim the measure is "common sense" because anyone voting for Ohio's elections should be an Ohio resident. But the amendment has provoked criticism from Democrats and universities alike, who say universities are being thrown into the middle of a voter suppression scheme.
An analysis from left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio found the tax plan currently working through the Republican-controlled Ohio legislature favors the wealthy. The analysis also claimed there's little evidence the across-the-board tax cuts suggested would significantly help Ohio's economy. The plan still needs to be approved by the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate and Republican Gov. John Kasich.
Council members are asking Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig to remain in Cincinnati instead of taking a job in Detroit, but City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. didn't seem convinced that much can be done. Dohoney said Craig's hometown is Detroit, a city that has suffered in recent years as the local economy has rapidly declined.
Democratic Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald is running for governor, and he will make Cincinnati one of his first stops
for his campaign kick-off tour. FitzGerald is challenging Republican
Gov. John Kasich in 2014, who has held the governor's office since 2010. A recent poll found Kasich in a comfortable position with a nine-point lead on
FitzGerald, but many respondents said they don't know enough about
FitzGerald to have an opinion on him.

Local job numbers continued their positive trend in April, with Cincinnati's unemployment rate dropping to 6.9 percent and the rest of the region following suit. Michael Jones, research director at the University of Cincinnati Economics Center, attributed the job gains to improvements in manufacturing and continued growth in health care jobs. Still, the public sector continued to lag behind the private sector — a trend Jones says could change in the coming months as government budgets are adjusted to match higher tax revenues resulting from the recovering economy.
Downtown's population growth slowed last year as available housing failed to match demand, according to Downtown Cincinnati Inc.'s annual report. In the past few years, the city has pursued multiple actions to meet demand, particularly through public-private partnerships. Most recently, City Council approved leasing the city's parking assets to raise funds that would help build 300 luxury apartments, but that plan is currently being held up in court.
The second phase of The Banks riverfront project will cost $62 million, according to the report from Downtown Cincinnati Inc. That's smaller than the first phase, which cost $90 million. The second phase of the project is expected to begin this fall, and it should bring 300 apartments and 60,000 square feet of street-level retail space to the area by the end of 2015. The Banks also plans to build a $45 million hotel, which is also expected to be complete in 2015. The funding for the projects is coming through multiple public-private partnerships.
After the final
public hearing on the city budget Wednesday, Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan plans to introduce her own
budget plan that would avoid all city employee layoffs. A statement from Quinlivan
did not give much in the way of details: "My plan saves all city jobs
and restores all neighborhood programs. It requires common sense and
shared sacrifice of all city employees." Most recently, council members
Chris Seelbach and Roxanne Qualls co-sponsored a motion that would eliminate fire layoffs and reduce police layoffs to 25 by making cuts elsewhere.
The Ohio Senate plans to vote today on a measure that would effectively close down hundreds of Internet "sweepstakes" cafes around the state in an effort to eliminate illegal gambling activities.

Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino topped state casino revenues last month, translating to $1.4 million in casino tax revenue for the city in March. If the trend holds — a huge if, considering March was opening month for the Horseshoe Casino — the city would get $16.8 million a year, which would be above previous estimates from the state and city but below estimates presented in mayoral candidate John Cranley's budget plan. Cranley and other city officials say casino revenue could be used to avoid laying off cops and firefighters to balance the budget, but the city manager's office says it wouldn't be enough.
Two City Council decisions yesterday will allow the current project manager for The Banks to take over the streetcar project. The two 5-4 decisions from City Council came in the middle of a tense budget debate that could end with the layoff of 344 city employees, including 189 cops and 80 firefighters. But John Deatrick, who could be hired as executive director of the streetcar project as a result of the measures, says his salary would come from the capital budget, which is separate from the general fund that needs to be balanced in light of structural deficit problems.House Republicans are poised to reject Gov. John Kasich's proposed Medicaid expansion. The expansion, which was part of Kasich's 2014-2015 budget proposal, would have saved the state money and insured 456,000 Ohioans by 2022, according to the Health Policy Institute of Ohio. But it would have done so mostly with federal funds, which state legislators worry will not be there years down the line. The Medicaid expansion was one of the few aspects of Kasich's budget that state Democrats supported. CityBeat covered Kasich's budget in further detail here.
PolitiFact Ohio gave Kasich a "Pants on Fire" rating for his claim that his transportation budget and Ohio Turnpike plan "would make sure we have lower tolls than we've had through the history of the turnpike." PolitiFact explains: "Yes, the bill aims to keep tolls from rising faster than the pace of inflation -- a practice that would stand in contrast to KPMG's findings from the past 20 years. And, yes, the bill freezes tolls for 10 years on a small, targeted cross-section of turnpike users. But not only are higher tolls a part of Kasich's plan, they are integral to the concept. The increased revenue will allow the state to issue bonds to finance other projects. Furthermore, the inflation cap is not written into the law, and the state has an out from the local EZ-Pass freeze."

Between October and December, the U.S. economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.1 percent — the first contraction since 2009. The downturn was primarily caused by the threat of conservative fiscal policies, particularly defense spending cuts. Dropping business inventories also helped drag down the economy. Otherwise, consumer and business spending was actually strong.
Some Republicans want another go at reducing voting rights.
Rep. Mike Dovilla, chairman of the newly created House Policy &
Legislative Oversight Committee, says he wants to consider measures that
crack down on alleged voter fraud, including reduced voting
times and a photo ID requirement to vote. But in-person voter fraud is not a real problem. News21, a Carnegie-Knight investigative reporting project, found only 10 cases of in-person voting fraud in the United States between 2000 and 2012.
That's not even one case of in-person fraud each year. The real reason
Republicans want to enact stricter voting measures is to hinder young, minority
voters that typically support Democrats. One study found 700,000 young, minority voters were excluded by photo ID laws in 2012.
A Policy Matters Ohio report found Ohio's income tax hits the poor and middle class a lot harder than the wealthy. The numbers from the report: "The top 1 percent of non-elderly Ohio families by income, who earned at least $324,000 in 2010, on average pay 8.1 percent of their income in state and local income, property, sales and excise taxes. By contrast, the lowest fifth, who make less than $17,000, on average pay 11.6 percent. Families in the middle fifth of the income spectrum, who make between $31,000 and $49,000, on average pay 10.6 percent."
Cincinnati is extending its contract with Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) for a month despite an ongoing conflict, but the supposed conflict is really much ado about nothing. SORTA wants the city to guarantee it won't use the transit fund for the streetcar, but City Council has already passed a resolution saying it won't and Mayor Mark Mallory has repeatedly stated he will not use the transit fund for the streetcar. Due to the mayor's race, the streetcar will be facing another contentious year at the ballot box, which CityBeat covered in-depth here.

Scientists have taught bacteria to eat electricity. The trick could eventually be used to turn microorganisms into a biofuel source.
The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority is making a move to buy up the city's parking services. Cincinnati is pursuing parking privatization as a way of balancing the budget. If it accepts the Port Authority's deal, the city will get $40 million upfront, and $21 million of that will be used to help plug the $34 million deficit in the 2013 budget. Port Authority also promised 50 percent of future profits. The Port Authority proposal is only one of nine Cincinnati's government has received since it announced its plan. CityBeat criticized the city's budget plan in this week's commentary.
The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners might raise the sales tax instead of doing away with the property tax rebate to stabilize the stadium fund. Democratic Commissioner Todd Portune suggested the idea, and Board President Greg Hartmann says it might be the only solution. Republican Chris Monzel is against it. Sales taxes are notoriously regressive, while the property tax rebate disproportionately favors the wealthy. Portune claims the 0.25-percent sales tax hike would be more spread out than a property tax rollback, essentially impacting low-income families less than the alternative. CityBeat previously covered the stadium fund and its problems here.
While Cincinnati has made great strides in LGBT rights in
the past year, it still has ways to go. The Municipal Equality Index
from the Human Rights Campaign scored Cincinnati a 77 out of 100
on city services, laws and policies and how they affect LGBT
individuals. Cleveland tied with Cincinnati, and Columbus beat out both
with an 83. It's clear Ohio is making progress on same-sex issues, but will Ohioans approve same-sex marriage in 2013?
Some conservatives just don't know when to quit. Even though Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus pronounced the heartbeat bill dead, Janet Porter, president of the anti-abortion Faith2Action, wants to force a vote in the Ohio legislature. CityBeat previously wrote about Republicans' renewed anti-abortion agenda.
Some people are not liking the idea of new fracking waste wells. About 100 protesters in Athens were escorted out of an information session from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for loudly disputing a proposal to build more waste wells. Fracking, which is also called hydraulic fracturing, is a drilling technique that pumps water underground to draw out oil and gas. Waste wells are used to dispose of the excess water.

Speaking at Bowling Green State University in northwestern Ohio yesterday, Gov. John Kasich was unclear on whether he'd use his line-item veto powers to remove anti-abortion provisions from a budget bill.
When asked about the issue by a student from the University of Toledo Medical Center, Kasich responded, "First of all, I'm pro-life." He added, "We'll have to see how this proceeds through the House and the Senate conference committee and have just got to wait and see how it goes, then I'll make a decision as to whether I think it goes too far or doesn't, but keep in mind that I'm pro-life."
The Ohio House and Senate recently passed budget bills that would defund Planned Parenthood and fund anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers with federal funds. The Ohio Senate, which goes second in the legislative budget process, also added a provision that could be used by the state health director to shut down abortion clinics.
Under the Ohio Senate budget's new rules, abortion clinics would be unable to set transfer agreements with public hospitals, and established agreements could be revoked at any time and without cause by the state health director. At the same time, if a clinic can't establish a transfer agreement, it could be shut down with no further explanation by the state health director.
The rules allow abortion clinics to set agreements with private hospitals, but abortion rights advocates argue that's much more difficult because private hospitals tend to be religious.
State regulations already require transfer agreements between ambulatory surgical facilities, including abortion clinics, and hospitals, but the Ohio Senate budget encodes the regulations into law and adds further restrictions.
Transfer agreements are typically used to provide emergency or urgent care to patients with sudden complications.
Opponents of abortion rights, including Denise Leipold of Right to Life of Northeast Ohio, have praised the budget measures for promoting "chastity" and "abstinence."
During budget hearings, several Republican legislators said Planned Parenthood is being defunded in part because it provides abortion services.
Planned Parenthood is legally forbidden from using public funds for abortions. It currently provides the services through private donations.
Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, criticized the budget bills and Kasich's lack of clarity in a statement: "This appalling agenda is out of touch with Ohio values and we need Gov. Kasich to pledge to keep it from becoming law."
The Ohio House and Senate must reconcile their budgets through conference committee before a final version reaches Kasich's desk. At that point, Kasich could veto the entire bill, reject specific portions with his line-item veto powers or sign the bill in its entirety.
It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On this day, it's worth re-watching his I Have a Dream speech.
Local governments are hopeful they won't see big budget cuts in Gov. John Kasich's 2014-2015 budget.
Townships, municipalities and counties were economically hit by big
cuts in the last budget. The local government cuts added up to $1
billion on a state level, and Hamilton County shared $105 million — more
than 10 percent — of the cuts, according to Cuts Hurt Ohio. Education saw $1.8 billion in cuts statewide, with Hamilton County taking $117 million of those cuts.
Gov. Kasich announced that his state of the state address will take place in Lima, Ohio. Kasich's speech last year was labeled "bizarre" by outlets like The Hill. During the speech, Kasich imitated a person with severe Parkinson's disorder and called Californians "wackadoodles."
Union Terminal is falling apart. Cincinnati Museum Center executives say they need nearly $180 million for repairs. The damages are largely due to how the building was constructed. Its design lets moisture get behind bricks, which then causes supporting steel beams to rust.
The judge in the Miami University rape flier case gave a deposition Jan. 15. The document outlines Judge Robert Lyons' reasoning for letting the rape flier case go: "What I remember about him is that there was certainly concern about his, say, his mental health and there were grounds stated on the record for the necessity of sealing the record. It had to do with his — probably as I recall, more so mental well-being than anything else."
Former governor Ted Strickland is tired of raising campaign money, but that didn't stop him from joining City Council candidate Greg Landsman Friday. Landsman was Strickland's field director for his congressional campaign, and when Strickland was governor, Landsman was director of the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

Mitt Romney was in town yesterday. In his speech, he
criticized the president's policies and campaign rhetoric and touted
support for small businesses. The Cincinnati visit was the first stop of
a two-day tour of Ohio, which is the most important swing state in the
presidential race. But senior Republican officials are apparently
worried Romney has leveled off in the state, which could cost Romney the
Electoral College and election. President Barack Obama is
expected to visit Cincinnati on Halloween. In aggregate polling, Obama
is ahead in Ohio by 2.1 points, and Romney is up nationally by 0.9
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio says the
use of seclusion rooms in Ohio schools should be phased out
by 2016. The Ohio Department of Education and Ohio Board of Education
are currently taking feedback on a new policy draft that says schools
can only use seclusion rooms in cases of "immediate threat of physical
harm," but the policy only affects traditional public schools, not
charter schools, private schools or educational service centers.
Seclusion rooms are intended to restrain children who become violent,
but recent investigations found the rooms are used to punish children or
as a convenience for staff. Currently, Ohio has no state laws
overseeing seclusion rooms, and the Department of Education and Board of
Education provide little guidance and oversight regarding seclusion

Update: Oneohtrix Point Never is live-tweeting the stream. "I'm gonna be doing this for 8-9 hours so feel free to unfollow me," he says.
Yes, it's actually happening: The Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan's eight-to-nine hour "ambient/musical interpretation" of Hermann Hesse's 1922 novel Siddhartha is taking place right now at Madame ZuZu's in the Chicago suburbs. (Madame ZuZu's is the tea shop that Corgan opened in 2012.)
Billy Corgan to Perform Eight-Hour Ambient Jam Inspired by Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha

In 2012, we reported that Billy Corgan opened a tea shop in the Chicago suburbs called Madame Zuzu's. (He did not call it Mellon Collie and the Infinite Souchong, because he did not ask me first.) Now, as SPIN points out, Corgan has announced that he will be perform an eight-to-nine hour "ambient/musical interpretation" of Hermann Hesse's 1922 novel Siddhartha at the teahouse. The show will start at noon on February 28, and early reports predict that it will be the most Billy Corgan thing ever to happen.

Best rates and November tariff
You will never get a better rate than by booking through us directly, rather than Bookings.com or any other third-party site. And, although we have our own booking button here on our own website, please do phone us if you can – that way we can ensure you are in the right room, and on the best package and rate for your particular needs. Phone 01394 450205 for reservations and enquiries.
November tariff: midweek DB&B rates start at £185 per night for two people sharing a Good House double. Please note that dinner is not a set menu but 3 courses freely chosen from our normal a la carte. Similarly, breakfast is not a miserable, dried up, self-service affair but freshly prepared – with such delights as French toast with crisp bacon and real maple syrup, un-dyed smoked haddock with a Happy Hen poached egg on top or, of course, the Full English. Midweek DB&B rates rise to £220/225 per night for our Better House or Best Garden and Best Courtyard rooms to £260 for a Best House room, with our beautiful Suite at £310.
Saturday night is always sold as a 2-night weekend stay with the Friday night (not the Sunday night which heralds the start of the midweek rate, above). Rates start at £399 for the Good House double rooms and £460 for a Better House room. A Best Garden or Courtyard room is £480 rising to £550 for a Best House or Terrace room. The suite is £640. Don't forget, these rates are for both nights, for both people occupying the room and include a 3-course a la carte dinner on both nights and a splendid, cooked-to-order breakfast on both mornings.
(Very occasionally we have a single Friday or Saturday night available so it is worth an ask but don't pin your hopes on it! )

Originally written on Sliding Into Home | Last updated 11/9/14
From Anthony McCarron:Andy Pettitte and Mark Teixeira, two Yankees who endured injury problems last season, are scheduled to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic in March, a source with knowledge of the roster confirmed Monday. ... If a club does not want a player to participate because of injury, it can submit what's called a "player objection notice" to the WBC's disability review committee, which could rule on the objection. But with both Pettitte and Teixeira on track to be ready for spring training next month and both wanting to play, it's not like the Yankees can prevent their participation.I can understand letting Teixeira play. He's a notorious slow-starter and maybe a few competitive games prior to the season will do him some good. However, letting a 40-year-old Andy Pettitte, pitch in meaningless exhibition games masquerading as an important international competition is a joke.

New Yorkers who were savvy enough to see through the smokescreen challenged the fairy tale with utter disbelief.

From Pullman — The Cougars had a 9 p.m. practice today to accomodate the players' finals schedules, and they will take tomorrow off. It was also the first bowl practice that the veteran players fully participated in, as WSU coaches devoted the first few to getting extra work for the underclassmen. The Cougars coaches said they practiced mostly 1's vs. 1's and will get into the game plan later in the week.
"It was really a chance for us to get some spring football in for the young guys," linebackers coach Ken Wilson said. "Obviously we work with them on Thursday nights but this has been a chance for us to get them in position meetings and go over the base stuff and watch it on film, watch them get extended reps and see what we got out there."
Wilson added that linebacker Jeremiah Allison has stood out amongst the underclassmen and has excelled at the BUCK position, a hybrid between linebacker and defensive end.
More from practice, after the jump.
The Cougars haven't usually had a full contingent of coaches available for their bowl practices with many of the coaches on the road recruiting. Wilson recently returned from Southern California where he says he literally had a warm reception.
"It's been great. The USC game down there was big for us and the bowl game was obviously big for us. The excitement of us playing on TV has been good for recruiting as well. We've been recruiting hard and we've had good reception most of the year but obviously those last couple games, the Arizona game and Utah game and obviously the bowl game have all helped. Some of the coaching changes gave us some life with the stability of coach Leach being here. So things are looking good right now."

Three pin plugs provide a safer alternative to two pin plugs. Wire strippers and a flat head screwdrivers are needed to install them, and the main power needs to be turned off at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
Remove the cover of the plug and loosen the clamp holding the wiring in place. Loosen the screws from the brass terminals. If the plug is a one-piece unit, cut the wires so a new plug can be installed.
Measure the wires against the plug, and strip the outer layer using a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut through the insulated wire strands. If trimming any colored wire cores, leave enough length so that there is slack in the wires and they reach the terminals without straining. Strip about half an inch from the colored insulation of each wire core.
Attach the wires, twisting each strand so that there are no loose pieces. The brown wire is to the live (L) terminal, the blue wire is to the neutral (N) terminal, and the green/yellow is to the earth (E) terminal. Pass the outer wire to the clamp and tighten it in place. Replace the cover and check that there is no loose or exposed wiring.
1. Strip 1/4 of insulation off the end of each of the three wires with wire strippers. 2. Loosen the terminal screws on the male 15-amp grounded connector. Wrap the black wire around
The function of the live wire in a 3 pin plug is to deliver the voltage potential to the device when is plugged into the receptacle.

Welcoming and comfortable, would come back again!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for four weeks and we had a wonderful time! The owners Carole and Beverly were incredibly warm and welcoming—we got fresh-baked banana bread on arrival, as well as plenty of snacks and sodas to get us started. When we arrived the place was clean and tidy and we were greeted warmly. We were shown how to use the wifi and the shower etc, which I appreciated very much, because it made things so much easier for us weary travellers! Carole was always happy to help with any questions we might have, and she was full of great advice about things to do in NYC, such as Brooklyn Bridge Park, which ended up being one of my favourite places we visited on the whole trip! If we needed anything or had any questions we could email or call, they were very approachable people. (And of course Carole and Beverly live just two floors down if you need them.) We also used Pratt car service to get to the airport when we left, at Carole's suggestion. Pratt was great and arrived right on time, prices exactly as they said. Would definitely use them again, much cheaper than a taxi! The subway station was only a short walk away (about 10 minutes), and I always felt safe in the neighbourhood, even at night, so that was a plus! There was a community garden on Hart Street that we passed every day on our way out, and it was always full of adorable cats which occasionally followed us as we walked. As a cat lover I looked forward to seeing which cats were there each day! The neighbourhood had a nice vibe overall. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in NYC, especially for this price. I had no complaints! I hope I can visit again someday.
Great place
This place was very clean. Owners John and Kim are very friendly. Truly a home away from home. The area is beautiful and is close to everything. Our stay was great and the apartment lived up to our expectations.
Friendly welcome in a comfy flat
John and Kim's apartment in Hancock Street is set in a pleasant, residential neighbourhood, with a couple of grocery shops a short walk away. It's easy to access the A-Train at Notstrand Ave. (Express stop!) and get to downtown Manhattan quickly. The apartment, although not "brand new", is comfortable and well-equipped. John and Kim are friendly and very welcoming hosts. We'd book again the next time we come to NYC.

Product description
Drawing on the wisdom of 2,500 years of contemplative non-religious writing on all that it means to be human - from the origins of the universe to small matters of courtesy and kindness in everyday life - A.C. Grayling, Britain's most popular and widely read philosopher, has created a secular bible. Designed to be read as narrative and also to be dipped into for inspiration, encouragement and consolation, "The Good Book" offers a thoughtful, non-religious alternative to the many people who do not follow one of the world's great religions. Instead, going back to traditions older than Christianity, and far richer and more various, including the non-theistic philosophical and literary schools of the great civilisations of both West and East, from the Greek philosophy of classical antiquity and its contemporaneous Confucian, Mencian and Mohist schools in China, down through classical Rome, the flourishing of Indian and Arab worlds, the European Renaissance and Enlightenment, the worldwide scientific discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries to the present, Grayling collects, edits, rearranges and organises the collective secular wisdom of the world in one highly readable volume. Contents of this title include: "Genesis"; "Proverbs"; "Histories"; "Songs"; "Wisdom Acts"; "The Lawgiver Lamentations"; "Concord Consolations"; "Sages"; and, "The Good Parables".
