"There are portions of 345 Adams Street, a city-owned building mainly occupied by the Department of Finance, that sunlight has never touched. Other parts, as in the last eight feet of the building's magnificent 16-foot ceilings, were blocked after the hideous but energy-efficient drop ceiling trend hit the nation by storm. But that will change now that Muss Development owns "the disgustingly ugly, city-owned office's" first two floors, 35,000 square feet, which the adjacent Marriott and Morton’s Steakhouse landlord intends to make beautiful and rent as retail space. Greenstone Realty CEO Robert Greenstone said Muss would remove the mezzanine and carve windows into the first two floors extending from Morton's to Willoughby Street. A third floor of "knock out windows" would be added in case the city wants to use them and sidewalk lights would illuminate the building at night. "We were going to put sconces on the walls but it looked too ordinary," said Greenstone, who is marketing the space." (Brownstoner)

Bookstore cafe to open in Downtown Brooklyn

City Tech is opening a Bookstore on Jan 18th which will be open to the public.

"The intersection of Adams Street and Tech Place in Downtown Brooklyn is not known for its cafes or bookstores. But that’s about to change with the official grand opening of New York City College of Technology’s (City Tech) new combination bookstore/café.
The ribbon-cutting will take place on Friday, January 18, at 11 a.m. The event will feature complimentary refreshments, great give-aways and the raffling off of an RCA Truflat stereo television. In addition, there will be 20 percent off general reading books and 15 percent off clothing and gift items (restrictions apply).

Managed by Follett Higher Education Group — a family-owned bookstore provider in business for 133 years with more than 750 bookstores nationwide — the City Tech facility, located on the College’s campus, is easily accessible on the ground floor of 259 Adams Street, with another entrance at 55 Tech Place."
