In the News: Seaport Ice Rink Not Free After All

••• “Skaters expecting to hit the ice for free at the Seaport’s new rink are getting the freeze after the rink changed the admission price to $10 per head.” Plus you have to pay to rent skates and check bags ($8! But it’s a mall! Don’t they want people to buy crap?!). —DNAinfo

••• The sale of beautiful old 346 Broadway closed (now that a lawsuit got avoided); the Peebles Corp. is partnering with Elad, the developer behind 250 West and Franklin Place. The Commercial Observer says that the community space—a bone the city threw to the neighborhood instead of a school—is to be “characterized by visual arts and planned as an outlet for emerging artists.”

••• Joy Gryson is opening a boutique in Boerum Hill. —New York Times

••• Pretty much every local outlet covered the city’s decision not to move the criminal summons court to Thomas and W. Broadway (even though only a handful ever mentioned it was a possibility in the first place). —The New York Times, New York Daily News, DNAinfo, Capital New York

••• The Fulton Center—the transit hub at Broadway and Fulton—will open in July. —NY1 (via Curbed)

••• In honor of the Christmas season, the Today show visited Tribeca’s own Mariah Carey and her ornaments.

  1. So Mariah has 2 ornaments – 2 very big ornaments, and that constitutes the need for a LIVE TV event production with satellite truck? Tamron Hall could have at least taken off her shoes. She would never get away with that in my house. I don’t care how amazing she thought I was.
