••• “A wild swingers club has been operating out of a Financial District office building—with wall-shaking sex parties throughout the workday—and the cops say there is nothing they can do about it.” It’s at 27 Cliff Street, and participants evidently do “sexy karaoke” as well. —New York Post

••• “Sources tell WWD that [Nordstrom] is allegedly looking to open a 250,000-square foot store downtown. […] At that size, there’s no space at Brookfield or Westfield WTC. (By comparison, the Saks store at Brookfield will be 85,000 square feet). Addresses reportedly in consideration include: an Art Deco skyscraper at 1 Wall Street, ‘away from where most of the luxury retailers are landing’; the former American Stock Exchange site at 78 Trinity Place; and 23 Wall Street, across from the New York Stock Exchange. Another possibility? The waterside mall at Pier 17.” —Racked

••• “Tribeca elementary school P.S. 150 […] has just won the National Blue Ribbon Award. The award, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Education since 1982, is for schools that have ‘overall academic excellence’ or ‘progress in closing achievement gaps’ among students.” —Downtown Express
