••• “After Murat Bugdaycay, the developer of two landmarked Tribeca buildings at 52-54 Lispenard Street, got a ‘no go’ from the Landmarks Preservation Commission for the previous demolition plan, the development team returned this week with a new proposal and won the Commissioner’s approval. Instead of razing the fire damaged remnants of 52 Lispenard, the creative crew from Section F Design came up with a three-story vertical extension that one Commissioner praised as a “worthy riff on cast iron.'” —Curbed

••• Eater picked up my Atera Kickstarter drive, which is nice, but check out the comments. I’m a “horrible, entitled, insane individual” who deserves to have his food spat in (or worse…?). Makes me once again appreciate the general civility of the commenters here. Also: Hospitality Design has a lot of photos of Atera’s interior.
