NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: AÑEJO
Hell’s Kitchen favorite Añejo is serving its Mexican small plates and killer margaritas in the former Bread Tribeca space at Church and Walker. Check out the space and the menu.

MORE ON TRIBECA’S NEXT HOTEL (AND ITS RESTAURANT)
Plans are moving forward for Ponte Equities’s 11-story hotel in northwest Tribeca. One building is being demolished, while another will likely be the restaurant.

NOSY NEIGHBOR
