Adeline Adeline, a different kind of bike store, opened this week on Reade Street. The mostly European city bikes will make you feel like the star of a fashion shoot.

THIS WEEKEND
This weekend in Tribeca: Tamarind Tribeca to soft-open (maybe—I keep hearing different dates, and to be honest, I’m tired of caring), bodybuilding championships, Jewmongous Passover Extravagana, kid-lit star Madeline, Lower Manhattan Community Church’s first public service (and Easter egg hunt), short comedy films, and more. Plus: The full calendar is updated through May 2.

Big week for ToT tips! Marc Forgione shares two pieces of advice—one he recently taught someone, and one he recently learned—and M1-5’s John Sierp explains how he wishes everyone would sauce pasta. Plus: Taste of Tribeca is May 15. Have you bought your tickets yet? Why the hell not? It’s for the children.

CHURCH OF THE OPEN MIND
This Sunday—that’s Easter, for you heathens—marks the official launch of the Lower Manhattan Community Church. “We’re not hellfire and brimstone,” said one of the pastors over coffee at Pécan.

If you know where this photo was taken—or even if you only think you know—guess in the comments here. And have a great weekend! My parents and niece are in town, so I’ll be away from the computer for a few days.
