Melanie Zrihen and Hanne Larsen (Angela Weir)

TCQ&A’s
I normally wouldn’t do two in one week, but soon after posting a TCQ&A with Hanne Larsen and Melanie Zrihen of Downtown Dance Factory (“We wrote our business plan at Kaffe 1668”), I learned that filmmaker Kimberly Reed lives in Tribeca (“My puppy would not stop sniffing Ed Burns”), and since her new documentary, Prodigal Sons, opens today at Cinema Village—well, there was no point in waiting. P.S. Despite the fact that this series has been all women, I’d love a few men in the mix…. Any suggestions? TribecaCitizen@gmail.com.

THIS WEEKEND
••• What’s playing in area movie theaters.
••• Health counselor and TC contributor Marissa Vicario leads a “Fabulous Female” workshop on Sunday at New Field Yoga.

TEMPLE GRAND
I finally got inside the sanctuary at the Synagogue for the Arts, the curvy building on White. Neat room! (And it’s available to rent for cultural events.) See my pix….

ONLY ON TRIBECA CITIZEN
••• The owner of Brick responds to allegations that the restaurant is hosting parties in violation of his liquor license: “The police have been notified and have done many inspections through drivebys. Not one has been substantiated.”

COMING UP
