		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/taxis.jpg?w=300&h=166" />Racked's new Like/Likely feature takes a look at all the mixed-use developments on the horizon in Williamsburg and weighs in on the future retail landscape. <a href="http://racked.com/archives/2008/02/26/likelikely_two_floors_of_opppo.php">[Racked]</a>
<p>The School of Visual Arts is buying the Chelsea West Cinema building on West 23rd Street. <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/unbeige/news/school_of_visual_arts_buys_chelsea_theater_milton_glaser_to_design_inside_and_out_78445.asp">[Media Bistro]</a> </p>
<p>A Staten Island bar scraps plans for a &quot;dwarf bowling&quot; competition this Saturday night after the city threatens a $10,000 fine. It is unclear whether the dwarfs were to be used as pins or balls. <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2008/02/28/2008-02-28_si_bar_scraps_dwarftossing_contest.html">[NYDN]</a></p>
<p>Most people will never step inside the hallowed walls of 15 Central Park West, but <em>New York</em> magazine is offering the next best thing to dinner with the Goldman Sachs crew there (or Sting if you prefer) with this video tour of the glitzy building. <a href="http://video.nymag.com/index.jsp?fr_story=acd55894b99112afcb2869b9ebf19a880580fd19">[New York Magazine]</a> </p>
<p>Living in the Plaza turns out to be not just lonely, but potentially life-threatening as well. Real estate broker Joanne Cutler was trapped in an elevator for 14 hours last night, and none of her globe-trotting neighbors were around to help. <a href="http://curbed.com/archives/2008/02/28/lonely_plaza_hotel_now_proven_to_be_harmful_perhaps_deadly.php#reader_comments">[Curbed]</a></p>
<p>Harry Macklowe may be sacrificing the title to the GM building, but he's trying to negotiate a deal that would leave him with a substantial revenue stream from the property. <a href="http://ny.therealdeal.com/articles/macklowe-could-cash-in-on-future-gm-building-role">[TRD]</a> </p>
<p>If Mayor Bloomberg's revised congestion pricing bill is not approved, taxi fares could begin at $6.50 under an alternative proposal from Albany. No one from the city would ever suggest such a thing. <a href="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/28/650-to-enter-a-taxi/#more-2183">[City Room]</a>  </p>
