Members of the orthodox community have previously held large fund raisers in the space, and I suspect this is one of them.
...lots of security is often present. -
Anti-terrorism? WOW.....OK......
-
A recent conference received anti-terrorism forces as well:

The recent events in Israel are not that far away..... -

Based on the time of year, it might be the same event. -
Ahhhhhh - I remember this - on a Saturday in December a few years back around 8pm I saw literally thousands of Hasidic Jewish boys and men EVERYWHERE (I live on Montgomery btw Nostrand & Rogers). Being from Texas it was a completely unique experience fro me. his has to be what it was. You learn something new every day.

Am I the only one perplexed by this:
"Eastern Parkway from Eastern Parkway to Empire Boulevard
Union Street from Eastern Parkway to Empire Boulevard
President Street from Eastern Parkway to Empire Boulevard
Carroll Street from Eastern Parkway to Empire Boulevard
Crown Street from Eastern Parkway to Empire Boulevard
Montgomery Street from Eastern Parkway to Empire Boulevard
Sullivan Place from Eastern Parkway to Empire Boulevard"
These streets all run parallel to each other.

It is a long winded way of saying "expect getting around the area to be a pain on December 13th"
-
A local activist and attorney (F. Richard Hurley) feels his constituents should have been asked whether the Armory should have been approved for this purpose:

I wonder if he knows it isn't the first time the fundraiser has occurred. -
Is it his position that NYC should prohibit events that require security and require inconvenience?
