StreetLevel: NY Methodist Infusing the Novo

Well, this is one way to doctor the Novo: New York Methodist Hospital is opening an ambulatory care and infusion center in the ground floor of 4th Avenue’s largest condo. The outpatient facility will replace the one currently across the street from the hospital’s 7th avenue building, according to Lyn Hill, the institution’s VP for communication and external affairs, and serve outpatients who need infusions (mostly people undergoing chemotherapy). Hill says the facility should be open by the end of this year and will likely have regular daytime business hours. Doesn’t seem like this’ll do much to change 4th Avenue’s lack of pedestrian-friendly features in the same way retail would, but at least it’s a potentially valuable medical facility for the community.

2:52: Your logic is a little off. This “clinic” already exists on 7th Avenue and there is nothing downtrodden about 7th Avenue.
So just because it moves to a more fringe Avenue, does not all the sudden lessen the importance of said “clinic” or turn it into something it seems you’d liken to a meth clinic.
I bet you never even knew it existed on 7th Avenue before this article. Right across from everyones precious Barnes and Noble.
it’s moving from 7th to 4th, 3:00.
how is this a “potentially valuable medical facility for the community” when it already exists on 7th Ave, which is still “in the community?”
I love 4th Avenue. It’s edgy, it’s a little industrial, it’s a little rough, it’s got great new clubs and restaurants opening….it’s everything everyone who complains that New York is over, represents.
The only person who ever called it Park Avenue was a developer. I don’t think a single resident of Brooklyn believes or wishes 4th Avenue was the next Park Avenue.
It’s absurd to even say so.
2:34 — while i realize that doctor’s offices do exist on park ave. — do you realize that what is being placed in that space is not a private doctor’s office, but rather, a medical facility — i.e. a clinic.
and while i agree that a doctor’s office is not the same as a cab stand, what you fail to recognize is that a clinic is not the same as a private physician’s office… there is a difference that goes beyond mere semantics.
the point of the initial post was that 4th avenue will never be park avenue — no matter how much the park slope adjacent contigent hopes and wishes. 4th avenue is at best — gowanus east — nothing more.
just a dose of reality. enjoy your day.
If ever I’m stricken, I would like to think that I could deal with cancer, but I have much less confidence in my ability to regularly visit and spend time in this eyesore.
I always thought the building looked like a hospital anyway
they do have doctors on park avenue you realize, 2:33.
having a doctors office, primarily to treat cancer patients is not the same as a cab stand.
you are extremely ignorant.
why not just put in a dialysis clinic or a cab stand? oh, that’s right — they already have that… park avenue, huh?
