The heat is on! We’re looking at a high of 96 today, with some afternoon clouds. The Jewish holiday of Shavuot is underway, so it’s going to be a low key couple of days in sections of the neighborhood.  Check out our Calendar for community and arts events.  Today on The Lo-Down, a new monthly feature highlighting LES restaurant inspections. Also, we’ll have an update on the way-behind-schedule East River Park construction project. And we’ll have our weekly Kids’ Pick.
