The full community board is set to met on Tuesday night, and they’re planning to discuss several items we’ve written about it in recent months, including an application by the Manhattan Country Day School to add another story, the renaming of part of 103rd street after Norman Rockwell, and another permit for the historic church on 96th street and Central Park West that’s being turned into condos.
Also on the agenda: sidewalk cafes for Maison Kayser on 76th and Broadway and the soon-to-open Risoterria on 78th and Amsterdam. And Han Dynasty and Hummus Kitchen are applying for liquor licenses.
