NOSY NEIGHBOR
Thanks to some helpful sleuths, I believe we can declare this Nosy Neighbor case closed.

SEEN & HEARD
••• 10/20: Beach Street construction; brace yourselves. Plus: François Payard Bakery delay; funky sexy beats at MaryAnn’s; architect Kevin Roche.
••• 10/23: Tre Sorelle restaurant. Plus: Laughing Man café and François Payard Bakery opening tomorrow [i.e., today, Monday, Oct. 24]; more rooftop gizmos; a private gallery goes public; CB1 meeting relocated.
••• Have I stumped you twice in a row on Where in Tribeca…? You have until this afternoon. It’s on a prominent street, above a store that’s been in Tribeca for quite a while.

THE RETURN OF BOWNE & CO.
I had never been inside Bowne & Co. Stationers, but not for any good reason (excluding that it was closed for the past nine months). So when reader Pauline pointed out that the shop had reopened, I got on over there.

IN THE NEWS
••• 10/20: Shorties Deli Cafe. Plus: The Woolworth Building’s “no tourists” sign; the original Zuccotti Park protest; OBAO now open in FiDi; swapping lofts; a $7.50 cookie; film director Andrew Niccol; outdoor furniture indoors.
••• 10/21: Occupy Wall Street arrests? Bloomberg rattles his sword. Plus: “Real World” looking for OWS protester; luxury one-bedrooms; ferry exhaust; new FiDi pizzeria; turning down Tribeca.
••• 10/23: Interior designer Thierry Despont has an exhibit coming up. Plus: Inside Tribeca Loft Tour; shiny benches; Langdon Florist; Russell Brand on his visit to Occupy Wall Street, which is also attracting the homeless; Square Diner.

POP-UP: PATRIK ERVELL
The latest BOFFO Building Fashion pop-up opened yesterday, and it’s just as much a trip as the first two. Artist Graham Hudson created a construction zone of a store for designer Patrik Ervell; imagine if Patron of the New had opened six months early.
