In the News: PATH Service Resumes Downtown

••• “Nearly a month after being knocked out of commission by extensive flooding from Hurricane Sandy, PATH service from New Jersey into Lower Manhattan along the World Trade Center line will resume on Monday morning, officials said. ‘The World Trade Center PATH line will run Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., with stops in New Jersey at Newark, Harrison, Journal Square, Grove Street and Exchange Place and in New York at the World Trade Center.'” —New York Times

••• The New York Times‘s James B. Stewart spends a lot of time at J. Crew’s Ludlow Shop realizing that slim suits are in.

••• On Wednesday, Tribeca author Jim Fusilli will be reading from Road to Nowhere at Mysterious Bookshop. Actually, I assume he’ll be reading from the book. He’ll definitely be promoting it.
