LOWER EAST SIDE—A tipster updates us on the demolition of the 95-year-old Young Israel Synagogue: “the Young Israel Synagogue, at 225 East Broadway in the lower Lower East Side, is being rubbled from within. I guess I can’t believe it’s really happening…” [CurbedWire Inbox]

WEST CHELSEA—A Curbed insider provides a few increasingly details on Japanese architect Shigeru Ban’s mysterious Metal Shutter Houses on 19th Street. Apparently it will be a small building with 12 loft apartments, give or take. The units will have metal roll-down doors by the windows, and will not look like Ban’s preceding shutter house work. So, is someone going to send us some renderings, or what? [CurbedWire Inbox]

EAST VILLAGE—Vanishing New York followed up on the rumors of East 10th Street’s demise: “I went by and asked some shop employees what they knew approximately it. I was assured that they checked and double-checked, and buildings number 90, 86, and 84 are safe from demolition. That is excellent news. However, they additionally told me that the corner Green East bodega and the building

that houses the former St. Marx Music (formerly previously the Atlas Barber School) are slated to be razed to produce way for a high-rise luxe hotel.” Why hello there. [J’sVNY]

LONG ISLAND CITY—This sounds a wee bit shillish, but hey, we love that QueensWest: “I’ve just completed an application for East Coast 7 - Rock Rose’s moment phase in LIC - it’s filling up fast ! I have to say, given the amenities (Indoor Pool, Gym, Screening Room, Steam Rooms, Saunas, Billiard Room), that place is looking to be fairly the steal. 6th Floor 1 Bed with Balcony 2600 per month. Currently a very good view of Manhattan by to the 59th street Bridge. Amish Markets coming in February.” [CurbedWire Inbox]
