••• “Tribeca’s all-around restaurant Bubby’s is heading for the Meatpacking District,”—it’s in addition to the Tribeca and Japan locations, I should interject—”taking over the space near the bottom of the High Line that most recently housed ill-fated club MPD.” Might make brunch down here more accessible….
