After the holidays plus a COVID surge closed the Roosevelt Island Food Pantry for three weeks, RIDA says they are bringing it back on Friday. And City Council Member Julie Menin joins in with a KN95 face mask giveaway.

“The RIDA Food Pantry will be open this Friday,” said Disabled Association President Wendy Hersh. “City Council Member Julie Menin will also be distributing KN95 masks at the RIDA Food Pantry in the 546 Main Street lobby from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Let’s keep our island safe!”
Food Pantry hours will run from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m

Susan Rosenthal, a Sacrificial Lamb?*
After Susan Rosenthal was fired, David Kraut would talk about almost anything except Susan. This was unusual because David could discuss a subject long after everyone else had exhausted both the subject and the available oxygen. When her name entered the conversation, however, he became careful. At first I mistook that restraint for discretion; later, I began to recognize guilt.
