••• Speaking of 50 Varick and Spring Studios—if you don’t know what it is, please click that link and read about it—I got a peek at the proposed stipulations, some of which involve community hiring (why that’s tied to a liquor license application is anyone’s guess), communication with CB1, and so on. What interested me were the event limitations, which I’ve pasted below. My sense is that the community isn’t particularly worked up about Spring Studios—at least one member of the Tribeca Committee, however, is convinced that the facility is destined to become a nightclub. (I would think that local businesses, especially ones in that oft-overlooked part of Tribeca—would be thrilled at the possible influx of visitors.)

• During the first year Spring agrees to have no more than 15 events/programs with 600 to 800 attendees. Of these 15 events/programs 5 will end no later than 6pm, 6 will end no later than 10pm and the final 4 will end no later than 11pm. We anticipate that many of the events/programs slated to end at 6 will be luncheons that will end considerably earlier.

• During the first year Spring agrees to have no more than 36 events/programs between 400 to 600 attendees. Of these 36 events/programs 10 will end no later than 6pm, 10 will end no later than 9pm, 8 will end no later than 10pm, 6 will end no later than 11pm and 2 will end no later than 12am.  We anticipate that many of the events/programs slated to end at 6 will be luncheons that will end considerably earlier.

• During the first year Spring agrees to have no more than 60 events/programs with 200 to 400 attendees. Of these 60 events/programs 20 will end no later than 6pm, 18 will end no later than 9pm, 15 will end no later than 10pm, 5 will end no later than 11pm and 2 will end no later than 12am. We anticipate that many of the events/programs slated to end at 6 will be luncheons that will end considerably earlier.

• During the first year Spring agrees to have no more than 180 events/programs with 200 or fewer attendees. Of these 180 events/programs 80 will end no later than 6pm, 55 will end no later than 9pm, 28 will end no later than 10pm, 12 will end no later than 11pm and 5 will end no later than 12am. We anticipate that many of the events/programs slated to end at 6 will be luncheons that will end considerably earlier.

Also of note: “The commissary will be open to the public as a white table cloth reservation only restaurant.” Personally I find that disappointing. Why restrict locals from eating there?
