At its recent meeting, the Fort Greene Landmarks Preservation Committee established a group to assist Roy Vanasco, member of Community Planning Board 2 and Myrtle Avenue Merchants Association, in finding out just what's going on.H andw oven Kelim Rugs from IranandC ontem poraryPostersSteinberg,Vasarely, othersTheBrownstoneG allery76 Seventh Ave. %u2022 Tues.-Sat. 11-5Also established was a group which will try to formulate community-wide policy and response on the question of vacant buildings %u2014 notably those foreclosed by and now under the ownership of F.H.A. in Hempstead. No one seems to know quite what F.HA's policy is on resale after foreclosure; how can these buildings be returned to community ownership before they are vandalized beyond reclamation? One answer may be urban %u201c homesteading,%u201d now in effect in Philadelphia and Cleveland. Under this program, buildings are turned over to buyers for minimal cash in exchange for their commitment to renovate and occupy these buildings for at least five years.More on the work of these committees when they submit their reports.Ft.

I am one of the dedicated few who still mourns the passing of the Cafes Figaro and Rienzi in the Village; an unreformed hangerout against brick walls and soft lighting. But I will grant that I%u2019ve gotten past the point of bologna sandwiches and potato chips, which is why I'm so glad to have Two Steps Down, a delightful restaurant on DeKalb Avenue between Vanderbilt and Clermont, in the neighborhood.When Ellen and I stopped in the other night, there was an incredibly large menu being produced in the tiny rear kitchen %u2014 shrimp, steak, bluefish, chops, hamburgers, vegetables and pasta galore.Ellen had shrimp scampi,Plymouth Steak & Lobster House78 CLARK STREET(Opp. S*.
