••• Soft-opening tonight: Lotus Blue, the Yunnan (that’s a Chinese province) restaurant in the old Nam space on Reade. Get 10% off your entire bill. I peeked in—it looks nice!

••• I just noticed the ad pictured at left. Has it really been there since at least September?

••• 37 Warren—the building at the southwest corner of Church that’s getting four new stories—will be called Warren Lofts, according to the outgoing message at 212-371-5100, the number on the banner recently put on the building (and it’s being repped by Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group). The sign also has a URL (37warren.com), but it goes nowhere. Warren Lofts rings a bell….

••• The new Aroma Espresso Bar at Church and Barclay is positively roomy. So the future of the café is… a diner?

Someone, I don’t recall who (Paul Bettany?), immediately tweeted Pane Panelle, the sandwich offshoot/new name of Stuzzicheria. And what came to my mind—although I had yet to try any—were the sandwiches on the lunch/brunch menu at Kutsher’s Tribeca. I wanted a photo of the pastrami one, so I went and had it for lunch. It was pretty damn good. If you’re only rarely going to eat meat, you might as well do it in style.

Enough about me: Where’s the best deli sandwich in the area?

From Twitter:

••• Midtown Lunch got the full list of food trucks coming to the World Financial Center, at North End and Vesey: Up to five “trucks will be there seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. through 2013. [...] There are some new and old faces represented here on the food side: Big D’s Grub Truck, Bongo Brothers, Eddie’s Pizza, Frites N Meats, Gorilla Cheese, Kimchi Taco, Mexico Blvd., Mexicue, Mike N Willie’s, Milk Truck, Red Hook Lobster Pound, Rickshaw Dumplings, Schnitzel & Things, Taim Mobile and Valducci’s Pizza. And they didn’t forget the desserts with Andy’s Italian Ice, Coolhaus, Cupcake Crew, La Bella Torte, the Treats Truck and Van Leeuwen Ice Cream represented.”

••• “On one of the most secluded streets in the heart of Tribeca, six luxury condominium units will quietly hit the market today and nine more in the same building will follow shortly. They make up all the units in a five-story condominium project at 60 Collister Street, between Hubert and Laight streets, at the former American Express Carriage House building. VE Equities, the developers behind Tribeca’s 471 Washington Street, which sold out last month, and One North Moore [and the upcoming 11 N. Moore], acquired the site in a short sale last year and received attorney general approval to market the units this Tuesday.” —The Real Deal

••• The Daytonian in Manhattan blog takes a long, fascinating look at the history of 121 Hudson, a.k.a. the Castree Building. If you like New York City history, it’s a must.

Here are some rendering’s from Leyva’s site….

UPDATE: We have a winner! Jim Smithers reclaimed his crown: It is indeed Bill Barrett’s “911″ sculpture in Finn Square.

••• Goldman Alley update #1: Harry’s Italian [in case you thought he was Irish] appears to be moving forward; it has a sign. (It’s to the north of Wei West.)

••• This may only be of interest to those of us who type “Tribeca” into our iPhones a lot (only to see it autocorrected to TriBeCa, which I’m not a fan of). On Twitter, @Adam807 sent someone else these instructions on a workaround: “go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts and make a shortcut where Tribeca = Tribeca. Will override autocorrect.” (I needed help with the last step. Basically, if you type did “Tribeca” as the phrase, and “tribeca” as the shortcut, whenever you type “tribeca” it’ll autocorrect to “Tribeca” and not “TriBeCa.”) Another yuppie problem solved!

••• Jem Café is closed for renovation till Feb. 14, maybe sooner. It opened in October….

••• Goldman Alley update #2: I popped into the new Battery Place Market offshoot this morning. I do wish there were more places to tie up a dog in Goldman Alley, but whatever. It’s a nice modern deli, if tiny, with an awesome floor.

Repeat after me: Art is anal. Art is anal. Art is anal….

There was an amazing sunset last Friday. This photo only barely captures it.

Best of all was how it turned everything gold.

You'll need it.

Thanks to Bruce Martin of Reade Street Animal Hospital, who noticed this sign on Staple Street.

An optimist would say these are half-uncut.

What is a week-end?

Benjamin Franklin's thoughts on Graffiti, however, shall remain a Mystery.

Saddest tree in Tribeca.

The stunning building at Leonard and Broadway is the New York Criminal Court, but you might know it as the one that’s been scaffolded forever.

The for-employees-only entrance (I think) on Broadway is gorgeous, not that it’s easy to tell. The photo directly below is actually one of the side doors in the semi-circular entryway; the battleship gray is a shame.

I do hope the netting isn’t there to stop bricks from hitting people on the head. But there are also lovely details like this rosette on  the side of the building—and even the bars on the windows are noteworthy.

The main entrance is at 108 Leonard.

But the real payoff is when you look up….Time to go inside. I had been in the building once, when I wrote about James Franco’s art exhibit at the Clocktower Gallery, which is on the 13th floor. As I remembered, you have to go through near-airport-level security (belts off!) to get in. What is the point of showing an ID if no one is checking the name against anything? I suppose I shouldn’t complain, given that I had no legitimate reason to be there. I took the elevator to 12.

Not very interesting. But the elevator bank is a curve. (More on that in a minute. I didn’t want to shoot the lobby until I was on the way out.) To reach the Clocktower Gallery, you get off on 12 and look for the red door, behind which is a staircase up to 13, which is also home to Clocktower’s parent organization, Art on Air. There was no one there, so I wandered around and took photos. I also checked out the kooky “Candy Canyon” exhibit, a re-creation of a dark western canyon; it feels a bit like waiting in line at Disneyland, but without the payoff. Nonetheless, I love the overall vibe of the gallery. A lot of the windows in the main exhibition space were blocked for “Candy Canyon,” but this one made up for that.

There’s also this off-limits stairwell. Take a second to admire the banister.

Someday I’ll get through that door, behind which might be the clocktower itself. Until then, bathroom break!

The building’s main staircase is undeniably lovely, or once was. It’s nice and wide, with ornate metalwork and lots of marble. The stairwell feels old, so I’m not sure why it doesn’t line up with the windows.

The closest floor with re-entry was the 8th floor. The dropped ceiling and grim light almost made me cry.

The only room I could sneak into was a conference room with some style (and with some people in the adjacent room). And as I mentioned, the elevator banks have potential.

Back in the stairwell, I ran into a woman on a break. I told her she was lucky to work in a building with such an amazing staircase, but she didn’t seem convinced.

The fourth floor’s door was unlocked, but access was restricted. So I walked down to the first floor, which is actually a mezzanine. (Maybe it’s the first floor on Broadway?) The Leonard entrance lobby, down a level and currently marred by security stations, is—or could be—rather dramatic.

The bottom line? While the staircase would be great for a school, and far less used in a condo or a hotel, this building needs someone who can show it some real love. Can the city do that? Unlikely—from the evidence here, the city rides a building hard. I vote condo or hotel. Maybe one of the other two buildings will make a better school….

P.P.S. I meant to look up what the AIA Guide said about the building, but I forgot. Here it is: “Originally New York Life Insurance Company Building/now New York City Municipal Offices, 346 Broadway, bet. Catherine Lane and Leonard St. E side to Lafayette St. (originally Elm St.) also known as 108 Leonard St. E end, 1894-1899. Stephen D. Hatch with McKim, Mead & White. W end, Stanford White of McKim, Mead & White. [...] N.Y. Life occupied the Broadway end of this long narrow block since 1870. Hatch was engaged to design an eastern addition but died (1894) before construction was completed. MM&W joined in the completion of the addition and went on to demolish the original Broadway structure and design its successor, with its distinguished Classical clock overlooking Broadway. N.Y. Life vacated the building in 1928 for its uptown tower; No. 346 has been owned since 1967 by the City. Do look at the semicircular elevator bank and visit the Clocktower Gallery.”

Up next: 49–51 Chambers.
