Jerry Orbach’s widow may have a difficult time convincing a community board to name a street after her husband, who died in 2004. Orbach spent over a decade playing Detective Lennie Briscoe on “Law & Order” and, as subway riders know, gave the gift of sight to two New Yorkers. The actor’s widow is trying to convince Community Board 5 to name 53rd Street and Eighth Avenue after her husband because he lived there for 25 years. Community Board 5 generally denies such requests since its district includes Times Square, which already has an abundance of signs. more [NYT]
