It opened in 02/2021, and it's you know, I I've heard a description of it today potentially as trendy.
0:39:13
You know, it has a lot of support in the community.
0:39:16
I think that's one thing that we wanna emphasize.

Of course, all our communities in New York are diverse, have a lot of different voices, and some of the voices that, we've submitted in testimony today, many of the voices that we've submitted, through emails that have been submitted to committee counsel and potentially testifying today if they've stayed around are voices that, support Ladiv and believe that they are good operators and and support this application for a sidewalk cafe.

In the materials that we've submitted, we've given a few indications of not only just the emails and support, but the types of community engagement that Ladiv is regularly involved in doing.
0:39:53
They've been involved with family driven community events.
0:39:56
We gave photographs and and descriptions of a Halloween event that they were part of that involved families and face painting, a Christmas tree lighting.
0:40:04
They've they've donated over $200,000 to charitable causes that have a direct impact in the community.
0:40:11
Nobody required them to do that.
0:40:13
That was not pursuant to any stipulation.
0:40:14
That's just part of who they are.
0:40:16
They have roots in the community, and they consider themselves part of the community, and many others in the community feel the same way.
