Incumbent State Senator Marty Golden (R-C), and his opponent Andrew Gounardes (D) will square off in their third debate – and the first to be televised citywide, tonight on New York 1 [channel 8 if you have Cablevision].

If you haven’t had your fill of the political drama that was the presidential debates, and you enjoyed watching this, then you really need to tune to NY 1 tonight at 7:00 p.m. for another look at both candidates in the race to represent the 22nd State Senate District!

Incidentally, Gounardes will be hosting a debate-watching party in the back room of Cebu Bar & Bistro [8801 3rd Ave], beginning at 6:45 p.m.

The Goodbye message on the Gold Coast web site.

The Gold Coast Delicatessen, located at the corner of Third Avenue and 86th Street, closed its doors yesterday for the final time. Gold Coast opened less than a year ago, in July 2011.

Owners Ted Mann and Michael Esposito will continue to operate Cebu Bar & Bistro a couple of blocks down the street at 88th Street and 3rd Avenue. Mann is also a partner in eight other venues throughout Brooklyn in addition to Gold Coast and Cebu, including restaurant Apartment 138 (Boreum Hill), Bar Matchless (Greenpoint), and music hall Public Assembly (Williamsburg).

In March, Brownstoner.com noted that Mann’s newest project, a beer garden in Park Slope to be named Greenwood Park, had stalled, having significantly missed its original opening date of October 2011, and not having applied for a license with the State Liquor Authority.
