The city's plans to overhaul Kimlau Square in Chinatown reclaims more streetscape from cars for people, but residents urged officials to think bigger in an area that is predominantly pedestrian. The redesign unveiled on Tuesday would flip the plaza from the east to the west side of the Bowery, near Worth Street, and straighten out the seven-way intersection around it.

The redesign is part of Chinatown Connections , a nearly $56 million public-realm overhaul led by the NYC Economic Development Corporation and Department of Transportation. The project merges $11.5 million in state Downtown Revitalization Initiative funding with nearly $44 million in city capital to reimagine the area around Kimlau Square, home to the Kimlau War Memorial Arch and Lin Ze Xu statue, into what planners call "a safe and vibrant space that celebrates the community's Chinese heritage."

Police said the suspect became enraged and started yelling at the family members when he punched both of them in their faces.

The move: Order one of everything if you're dining with one person, two of everything if you're a four-top.
