The Cooper Square Hotel on the Bowery towers over the East Village. It owns the entire block but architect Carlos Zapata and developer Matt Moss decided that they'd put the outdoor bar where it would disturb the most people--right among three tenement buildings. Would you like a bar 29 inches from your bedroom window?
This is two and a half years of construction at about 4 frames per day up until May 24, 2009. The new Cooper Union Academic located in Cooper Square in the East Village of Manhattan will be a LEED platinum certified "green" building.

I live in a high rise building managed by a realty company called cooper square realty www.coopersquare.com. I lost my apartment keys and for an entire week I called the maintenance department until they told me I'll have the spare on friday, whe I get home that day they copied the wrong keys. I go to talk to the manager who said she is about to leave, and instead of helping me get into my apartment, she just starts hurling profanities and acting like a street thug. I recorded some of the conversation on my iPhone, and here it is. I reported the company to BBB and the consumer affairs. One of the worst real estate companies you can ever have.
