NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: KIKI DE MONTPARNASSE
At Kiki de Montparnasse’s new shop on Franklin Street, surprise is an important element of the experience: You’ll giggle, you’ll gasp, you’ll blush—and you might just leave with a new notion or two. Take a look around.

INSTAGRAM TRIBECA (VOL. 20)
In a departure from most of the usual Instagram Tribeca roundups, these were all taken by yours truly. So follow Tribeca Citizen on Instagram! It’s 85% Tribeca, 10% other places, and 5% my dog. If you think you’re not an Instagram person, because you don’t like Facebook or Twitter, you might give it a try. It’s less annoying, and posting a photo just feels easier and less loaded than posting text. Here are some of my favorite Tribeca-ish ones.
