R IS FOR RETROSPECTIVE
R 20th Century is celebrating 10 years in Tribeca with an exhibit of the owners’ favorite pieces (including those at right). It’s gorgeous stuff.

SAD TIDINGS
Glad Tidings Tabernacle, the church that had been planning on moving to Franklin St., may not be staying in Tribeca after all. It’s selling its building.

The evidence, such as it is, points to the old Janovic building (left) being revived.

FIELD TRIP: MOAF
I suggested to my friend Lisa that we grab a coffee, but she countered with a link: moaf.org (right). It’s not the Museum of Applied Fashion, as I had suspected. So what is it?

WHAT’S UP THIS WEEK
Dream sequences, Dan Savage, Paula Cole, Gen X heroes, and botany are some of the highlights on this week’s agenda.

PHOTO SAFARI: IT’S RAINING PLASTIC
This week: Photos taken on W. Broadway, Duane, Desbrosses (I think), and in Finn Square.

12 TWEETS OF TRIBECA
Welcome to Tweebeca, where everyone looks the same—well, except the dominatrix doing an outcall. (To clarify: SheGotColder is not the dominatrix in question!)
