New Business Planned for Former Wappingers Chicken Restaurant - wpdh.com

A former Route 9 chicken joint is expected to transform into a unique eatery.

In March we told you that Planet Wings on Route 9 in Wappingers Falls would be closing. The chicken wing chain decided to move out of the location and sell the building, leaving yet another empty storefront on Route 9.

The good news is that it doesn't look like the old Planet Wings will be vacant for long, as a new restaurant is making plans to move in.

On Wednesday night the Village of Wappingers Falls Planning Board considered a proposal to open a new SouzaFit restaurant in the building at 1546 Route 9. If you haven't heard of SouzaFit before, it may take some explaining to understand what this restaurant actually is and what customers they specifically cater to.

Founded by Felipe and Christina Souza, the restaurant chain currently has three locations in Hoboken, Newark and Mount Vernon. Felipe is a former bodybuilder who developed a unique new concept in dining for people who want to eat healthy but don't have the time to cook.

As the name implies, the restaurant is geared towards fitness with its slogan being "Eat Healthy, Live Healthy." However, this restaurant is more than just a place to stop in and grab a quick bite. SouzaFit is also a meal-prep service.

Customers can order ready-to-go meals that are prepared fresh every day. Offerings range from fully prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner to ingredients sold by the pound like grilled steak, broccoli and rice. In addition to being able to purchase prepared meals and ingredients for home, SouzaFit will also operate like a restaurant, with customers being able to stop in and enjoy a meal on-site.

Paperwork submitted to the Village of Wappingers indicates that little will be done to the current building aside from some modifications to the aesthetics. The business is seeking permission to change the red corners of the current Planet Wings building to bright green.

It's unclear when SuozaFit would open once the paperwork is finalized but of course, we'll keep you posted if we hear anything.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
