History of Tribeca Buildings
Seen & Heard: Creative Juice
••• The liquor store coming to 315 Broadway looks like it’ll be a handy place to buy Thunderbird.
••• Creative Juice tweeted that it’s opening at Equinox Tribeca this week.
••• Sounds like Trinity Real Estate is starting work on its plot at Canal and Varick, where the Lent Space gravel park has been for a couple years now. “Construction guys moved in and were working all night,” emailed T. I’ll try to get up there for a poke around. There’s nothing for 70 Varick on the Department of Buildings website.
••• What’s up with the building next to the renovated Corbin Building? It looks like a big vent.
••• Front Art Space, the tiny new gallery on Chambers, has a new show coming up called Gift Shop. What’s more: “Sam Fox, a native Tribecan, will present a street solo piano recital on the day of the opening on Thursday, Nov 7, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.”
••• From Community Board 1: “Community Board 1 testified [the other day] at the New York City Council Committee on Lower Manhattan Redevelopment hearing on ‘The Effect of Residential Construction Projects on the Lower Manhattan Neighborhood.’ The testimony is available [here].”
••• From Pen Parentis: “Pen Parentis has an intimate evening of good literature, conversation, and music planned for Tuesday, December 10, featuring two acclaimed novelists known for their keen insights into human relationships. Gabriel Roth and Daphne Uviller will read from their work and join in discussions about writing and an active family life. Prior to the readings, and periodically throughout the night, salon-goers will be serenaded by live jazz. The reading takes place at the elegant Andaz Wall Street at 75 Wall Street.”
••• From Trinity Church: On Oct. 31, “Children will trick-or-treat in the graveyard from 4-6 PM, collecting candy from characters from New York City’s past, sipping apple cider and capturing their costumes on film in a photo booth. At the witching hour of 6:30 PM, the 1920 silent film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will be shown inside the church, accompanied by a haunting organ improvisation played by Dr. Robert Ridgell.”
••• “This Halloween is something, to be sure—especially to be here without you.”

I’m not 100% sure but the Corbin “neighbor” is the second egress that had to be attached to the Corbin Building to bring it up to code. I assume it already had a second egress previously, but perhaps that was taken out to create more functional floor space in the new design.
I think they call it the “interbuilding” or something like that.
The Trinity site in Hudson Square is 76-78 Varick. The DOB website has a permit with a job description of: INSTALLATION OF TEMPORARY TENTS, PLATFORMS AND TRUSSING FOR THE EVENT KNOWN AS TALKING TRANSITION, LOCATED AT THE VACANT LOT OF76 VARICK STREET, SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 6TH 2013. A TEMPORARY PLACE OF ASSEMBLY PERMIT IS REQUIRED. ALL PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT SHALL BE REMOVED UPON COMPLETION. (http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/JobsQueryByNumberServlet?requestid=2&passjobnumber=121820743&passdocnumber=01)
The only thing I could find on “Talking Transition” is http://job-board.cst.edu/job/401/talking-transition-borough-organizing-directors-at-talking-transition/ which might not be relevant.
Thanks for posting the Lou Reed YouTube, it was so apropos! He will be missed!!
Yes, thanks so much for posting this Lou Reed clip. He was the essence of downtown NYC — its soul, its style, its culture — for as long as I can remember. Cannot believe he’s gone.
