••• Jung Sik, the haute Korean restaurant coming to the old Chanterelle space at Hudson and Harrison, has a website, http://jungsik.kr.

••• You can buy an Asphalt Green Battery Park City membership as of today. The sales office is in the Verdesian.

••• The crunchy potatoes at Tiny’s have made me reconsider fried potatoes that aren’t French fries.

••• Liev Schreiber can’t make tomorrow’s screening of Walking and Talking at 92YTribeca after all, but actor Kevin Corrigan is stepping in.

••• I haven’t gone to watch the fireworks since the year thieves took the opportunity to break into my apartment, but photographer Milo Hess had this to say (on Tribeca Citizen’s Facebook page) about last night: “What the hell?
