Please, bear in mind that Pier 40 is also home to biz kids and Floating the Apple and New York Kayak. We have been paying rent on Pier 40 since 2001. Biz kids is a fabulous acting school that occupies a small part of the south side of the pier. Hudson River Park Trust Act says quite clearly that the park will include water related and arts education on Pier 40. We fulfill that requirement. The West Village has lost 3 theaters and 3 cabarets in the past few years. (Venues used by and for young performers) It would be fabulous to have Theater for Young Audiences as well as a spot like "milk and cookies" so children could have birthday parties and see a show in our neighborhood.
