••• New projected opening date for the Tribeca dog run (and environs) in Hudson River Park: July 22. The fencing was delayed but it’s shipping now. (Thanks to KB for the reminder to ask about it.)

••• And thanks to C. for asking whether I ever heard more about the rumor that Bikram Yoga NYC is coming to the Artflag space at 8 Jay. I hadn’t, so I wandered by and asked. Bikram is one of (at least) two parties interested in that spot; negotiations are ongoing.

••• I just learned something very interesting about the old Mimi’s Café space (southeast corner of Church and Reade). More when I can share it….

••• The BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center is stepping up its game in honor of its 30th anniversary year: “Aaron Neville, performing on Friday, November 15 […]. Also featured in the upcoming season are Kathy Mattea (March 29, $55-$35), Lisa Loeb (May 22, $55-$35), and Dar Williams (June 20, $55-$35).”

••• From the Lilac: “SITE95 is thrilled to present the third incarnation of ‘Dead in August,’ an exhibition and event series that uses available space in New York to create in-depth projects highlighting New York-based artists.
