••• The Henrik Lundqvist Blog dug up video of the Rangers player—who’s quite the tall drink of water—taking a Swedish journalist through his unfinished restaurant, Tiny’s, coming to the W. Broadway space that used to be home to Hoi An. The video is in Swedish, but one of the blog’s readers translated Lundqvist’s comments about Tiny’s: “It’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be a local restaurant/bar—nothing special—with good food and good atmosphere. I think the the favorite room is gonna be in the back with an open stove. The menu is not gonna have anything complicated. The hamburger has to taste good, since I’m a hamburger person! There’s gonna be meatballs and soups. I don’t spend too much time on this, just about one day a week. It’s just for fun with a couple of friends. It’s not like I’m gonna make money on it. It’s too much of a risky business.” That appears to be Matt Abramcyk unlocking the door at the beginning—he’s partners with Sean Avery, who’s also involved in Tiny’s, in Warren 77 (as well as the restaurateur behind Smith & Mills and the yet-to-open Super Linda, just down the street from Tiny’s). Also: At the end, Lundqvist’s Lamborghini gets a ticket.

••• “The entrance to the Battery Park City Regal Cinema is undergoing a facelift—literally. ‘The box office and entrance to the theater are being moved upward to the second story,’ explained a Regal employee who asked not to be identified. ‘The space where customers currently buy tickets and then board the elevators and escalator is going to be absorbed back into the hotel,’ this staffer explained. […] A second Regal insider said that the theater is expected to remain open through the renovation of the hotel, and that the reconstruction work to the box office and lobby should be finished before the end of December.” (Broadsheet Daily)

••• “Even as [Bob] Townley and Manhattan Youth prepare to take over the pier’s minigolf course, volleyball court and food concession, due to open in the spring, he is visualizing the kinds of loose gatherings and events that made the old pier popular before it was torn down. ‘We will have room for parties and school gatherings and dances and outdoor community life.’ […] Two sections make up that area: a new over-water paved platform and the original platform, now covered with dirt. While Townley already envisions cartloads of hot dogs being wheeled from the snack bar to birthday parties in the yet to be completed section, it remains unclear just when that space—all 11,000 square feet of it—will be ready.” (Tribeca Trib)
