••• “Metrocosm wrangled all the film permit data from the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre, and Broadcasting from between 2011 and 2013 and put together an interactive map that shows every New York City location where a permit was issued during that span.” Lower Manhattan is pictured above; the stretch of Murray Street is no doubt orange because of that apartment at 71 Murray that gets used over and over. —Curbed

••• The New York Times interviews* Veronica Mainetti of the Sorgente Group, the company developing the three buildings at 60-66 White Street.
