As the Oval Turns

Part of Tischman Speyer’s attempt to rebrand the former middle-class outpost at Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village as a luxe-playground for the twenty- and thirty-something crowd includes the construction of a new ring of lifestyle-enhancing storefront spaces around Stuy Town’s central oval. Why stumble down the alphabet avenues searching for the newest place to party like Paris (chihuahua included in this screengrab from the Stuy Town website) when you can get your kicks downstairs at the OvalLounge? Click through above to take a look at what residents are in for–and then be sure to take a look at one fed-up resident’s response to the makeover: Stuyvesant Town’s Lux Living. Suggest your own Oval amenity and stay current with the ongoing vomit / piss / laundry-theft / landscaping / trash / momzilla / construction issues (to name a few).
