In the News: Mental-Health Pros in Hudson River Park?

••• New York Magazine features a Tribeca apartment designed by Kelly Wearstler. There are only four photos—and they’re small—so I can’t give it the full Loft Peeping treatment, which is too bad, because it’s interesting.

••• Councilmember Margaret Chin has called for mental-health professionals to be stationed in Hudson River Park. —Broadsheet

••• So obviously we’ll need them on every subway car, too. “A pervert slashed open a sleeping woman’s pants on a subway train in the Financial District and groped her, authorities said. Robert Williams, 25, sat beside the woman at about 5:45 a.m. Saturday on the World Trade Center-bound E train, cut her trousers with a boxcutter”—yikes!—”and pawed her buttocks and thigh, court records state.” —New York Post

••• Apparently the caramels at Landmarc stopped being smushy, but now they’re smushy again. (Could it be that they were simply not so fresh?) —Serious Eats (via Eater)

••• Wall Street Journal on the 7-Eleven scourge (but not specifically about this part of town).

••• “The recent sale of the ‘1,550 sq ft’ Manhattan loft #8A at 51 Walker Streetprovides the opportunity to examine the different views, light and (yes) values from the 6th floor to the 8th floor on a north Tribeca block.” —Manhattan Loft Guy

••• The “Dirty Old 1970’s New York City” Facebook page ran this great photo. Click to see it a bit bigger.

  1. Cool pic. The first building is located at West and Vestry and the second building is the one currently being converted to condo. I have always wondered if the lighter top on the building at Vestry and West was an addition (it is in a different style and different material), and if so, when it was added.
