Hundreds of people packed into City Hall yesterday afternoon for a chance to talk about the massive redevelopment of Pier 17. Many supporters of the New Amsterdam Market were present to discuss the lack of plans for the Fulton Fish Market.
Plans are in place to gut the next-door shopping mall and replace it with a glassed-in mall structure. There is a proposal to the city from the developer with plans for the Fulton Fish Market.
Supporters of the New Amsterdam Market are many, and speaking out. Marc Bittman published a powerful editorial in the NYT this week, and the market produced a compelling video full of our city’s chefs speaking up in favor of the market, urging people to sign the petition to make the market a permanent institution.
