••• F. sent over a pic of the liquor-license hearing for 349 Greenwich—it was actually for the July hearing (but it said June, so trouble ensued); anyway, what I hadn’t noticed before was that the d.b.a.name for the bar and grill—if it’s still happening—is Brick and Mason.

••• Press release: “Dig Inn is opening their 9th location on Thursday, August 14, in the Financial District. This location will offer the newest features including an on-site butcher carving block and grill and saute station, which will serve their summer grilled vegetable special—local grilled corn from Hoden Farms in LI. Opening Day (open 11 a.m.-3 p.m.) will be $5 suggested donation, with all proceeds going directly to our partnership with FoodFight to support food education in a local downtown public school.” It’s at 80 Broad.

••• Tweeted by M.M. De Voe: “Ketch is opening in September. They always had the best food. elegant and delicious. Now a brewpub.” I wasn’t familiar with Ketch, and old listings say it was at 181 Pearl, while the website calls it “Ketch Brewhouse on Platt.”
