••• When I ran into street artist and all-around cool guy Robert Janz at a party at Mondo Cane the other night, I mentioned that I hadn’t seen any new street art from him in a while. So he went out and made some: “Great beer, so not so easy to get up this morning,” he emailed. “Never the less, I did raid above Canal. POST NO BISON. Yes, I know that Wooster/Grand is not Tribeca but it was a Tribecan who infiltrated over the border, committing art.”

••• There was a sign in the window of Sushi of Gari Tribeca saying that it would begin serving lunch soon. I seem to have lost the photo—and I’m out of town—but I think the start date was April 8 or 9. The sign also mentioned omakase; not sure if that’s the only option.

••• Another restaurant is onboard with First-Time Tuesdays: “Zutto will be offering $3 draft beers on Tuesday for the month of April.” Get the short rib buns and silken tofu while you’re there. And let me know if when you make your First-Time Tuesdays plans!

••• The 2014 Maserati Quattroporte will be at Maserati of Manhattan April 2-5: “The newly-developed direct-injection engine family boasts a 523 hp 3.8-litre V8 and a 404 hp 3.0-litre V6, both of which are twin-turbocharged, designed by Maserati Powertrain and assembled by Ferrari at their plant in Maranello. All versions come equipped with the latest eight-speed automatic transmission developed with ZF. The V8 is the fastest, most powerful and efficient four-door Maserati has ever built, reaching 60mph in 4.6 seconds and achieving a top speed of 191 mph.”

••• From a reader who works in 10013 and lives in 10014: “Last evening I found a religious book in my mailbox in the West Village. There appeared to be no address label. I wondered WTF?” I don’t think the F is for faith. “Then I got the same book today at work. I asked the mail carrier—she said everyone is getting a book.” We marveled at the expense, which I imagine could’ve fed a lot of people.

The phrase “non-fiction” has never been so flexible, or so I imagine.
