TINY STREETS: PART 1
Asha Agnish photographed the tiny streets in and around Tribeca—the streets only locals know. Here’s part 1: Collister Street, Benson Street, St. John’s Lane (right), and Trimble Place. Even the names are cute!

SUGGESTION BOX: WHOLE FOODS
A few weeks back, I posted an item asking everyone for constructive ways on how Whole Foods Tribeca could improve. Last week, I emailed over the suggestions. The manager has responded… And it turns out some significant changes were already on their way.

CALENDAR: JULY 9–AUGUST 15
This weekend in and around Tribeca: Fulton Stall Market; “Single White Female”; Rochester City Ballet (free); Thrillerfest; Bear in Heaven and Zola Jesus; “Miserable Men” comedy; Dances of Vice; “Hello Lonesome”; Erik Mongrain and Dave Eggar. Plus: the full calendar through August 15.

THE TCQ&A: “I LOVE HOW EMPTY THE STREETS ARE”
TriBeCa Therapy’s Matt Lundquist (left) shows us around his Tribeca—including which building he secretly covets, which restaurant he’s still grieving the loss of, and which celebrity he spotted watching “SpongeBob SquarePants” at Peace & Love.

HELP A BROTHER OUT
Please forward this to anyone you know in the greater Tribeca area. To make this thing work longterm, I need to get the readership up. “Have you seen this strange little newsletter?” you might write to all your friends, acquaintances, lovers, and co-workers. “The guy who writes it obviously needs to get a life, but every now and then there’s something useful in it. You can subscribe at TribecaCitizen.com—look for the box on the right headlined ‘Subscribe.’ Hope you’re well!”
