Zhao works for a Chinatown-based bus operator (Channel 4). The historic ark from Anshei Meseritz, the East Village synagogue that’s being redeveloped, now sits in St. Paul’s Chapel on Wall Street. It’s in the safe-keeping of the Tamid Congregation, which uses the church for services. Members of the Lower East Side community are happy the ark has found a new home but lament the fact that it’s been removed from the doomed synagogue on East 6th Street (WSJ-subscription required). Pete Wells reviews Sammy’s Roumanian, “the most wonderful terrible restaurant in New York.” In spite of its flaws, he writes, “Sammy’s is still loudly, raucously, endlessly, embracingly Jewish, a permanent underground bar mitzvah where Gentiles can act like Jews and Jews can act like themselves.” (NYT). The spirit of the defunct City Opera was once again alive at the Whitebox Art Center on the Lower East Side (NYT).
