Obama Back in the Nabe

President Obama is back in the Union Square area tonight, this time for a fundraiser at ABC Kitchen on East 18th Street. But don’t expect him to zip down East 12th Street again: According to former Department of Transportation higher-up turned traffic watchdog “Gridlock Sam” Schwartz, Broadway between 14th Street and 23rd Street is likely to be his travel route between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.
