In the News: Sidewalk Clock

••• “Fashion industry agency Jed Root, Inc. will relocate to 333 Seventh Avenue from 61 Walker Street after singing a 10-year, 11,000-square-foot deal at the Midtown property also known as the Fur Trade Building. ‘Jed Root was attracted to the space by the low price and the opportunity to be in a cool neighborhood,’ said Matthew Bergey of CBRE, who represented the tenant.” Seventh and 28th is cooler than Walker? —Commercial Observer

••• “Wristwatch publication Hodinkee has pieced together the detailed backstory of the Barthman Sidewalk Clock, which was embedded within the sidewalk at the corner of Maiden Lane and Broadway in 1899 as a marketing ploy of sorts by downtown jeweler William Barthman.” (The classic photo is by Ida Wyman.)—Curbed

••• The Baptist Standard article about Trinity Grace Tribeca is back up. (TGT isn’t Baptist, if you were wondering.)

••• Prince basically played till dawn at City Winery. I’m almost glad that my love of Princophilia and my desire to go to sleep by 10 a.m. didn’t have to duke it out. —Vulture
