Details on the community events, including the films to be screened the annual Drive-In at the WFC plaza (with a talent show), the soccer-themed day, the family festival, and more. Plus: Muppets.

TRIBECA CITIZEN RESTAURANT GUIDE
Thanks for all the great feedback on the guide to Tribeca restaurants. To those who asked how they could help: 1) Tell people! Share it on Facebook, for instance. 2) Use it! And add comments: If I missed something you think other Tribecans should know about a particular place, please spill it. 3) If you have a website and doing so would be relevant, link to it (ideally from the words “Tribeca restaurants” like I did above).

EVERYONE WANTS SAFER STREETS, RIGHT?
A new initiative to get deliverypeople to ride their bikes safely is kicking off here in Tribeca. I spoke with the founder, Nancy Gruskin (left, being interviewed at Landmarc), whose husband was fatally injured in an accident with a cyclist riding the wrong direction.

INSIDE DAMON DASH’S VINTAGE SHOP

Car-crash fetishists, Sheryl Crow, kite-making workshops, and free nibblybits—not to mention three bears and an entitled child—are some of the highlights on this week’s agenda.
