INSIDE THE OLD CITY HALL SUBWAY STATION
The New York Transit Museum runs occasional tours of the decommissioned station one stop south of the Brooklyn Bridge stop. It just happens to the most beautiful station in the system.
THIS WEDNESDAY: GET-TOGETHER AT BY JOY GRYSON
I do hope you’re coming to the get-together that Joy Gryson and I are throwing this Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the By Joy Gryson boutique at 106 Franklin (a couple of doors west of All Good Things). Stop by, have a glass of wine (thanks to Frankly Wines), and let’s talk about spring trends and Tribeca gossip…. Plus! During the event, you’ll save 15% on the spring lines of all three of Joy’s brands: Gryson, Olivia Harris, and IIIBeCa. Photo by Alexandra Frumberg courtesy Glitter Guide.
