••• Mehtaphor is now on SeamlessWeb. Bring on the garlic fries!

••• From Torly Kid: “Third-generation [Wow. —Ed.] silhouette artist Erik Johnson is visiting Torly Kid Sunday August 14. Portraits are $25 and duplicates of the same person are $15 each. Reserve a time slot by calling 212-406-7440 or emailing torly@torlykid.com.”

••• Artist Peter Tunney (whose studio is at 70 Franklin) appears to have (temporarily?) taken over the storefront at 73 Franklin, which means Station, the digital printer, is gone. I went in there once to ask a question and they looked at me like I had two heads.

••• The folks at the 9/11 Memorial got back to me: I can change my guest’s name by emailing customer service (and not by accessing data on the website, despite the business about creating an account).

••• I added photos of the new subway entrance at 135 William to yesterday’s post. That’s one at left.

••• I went to the Greenmarkets at City Hall, Bowling Green, and Zuccotti Park today. The first two are fine, but it’s the same old stuff. Zuccotti was the surprise: Migliorelli Farm’s stand has the kind of offbeat produce (Japanese turnips, French breakfast radishes) I love, as well as celery (if you’ve never tried non-supermarket celery, you really should) and two types of arugula. But the heat isn’t helping anything.

••• There are few phrases I dread as much as “notary public,” so I was pleased to see that there’s one at the pharmacy at Prime Essentials.

••• Remember how I wondered why Con Ed doesn’t have ugly carts like Verizon’s?
