Seen & Heard: New Amsterdam Market Will Reopen Elsewhere

••• New Amsterdam Market sent out an email saying it’s “resuming activity” in 2015 with an event in late February—but it won’t be in Lower Manhattan.

••• The Live Well Company is introducing a kids’ fitness class called Kid-Letics: “We have watched kids truly blossom in both their athletic abilities and their self confidence when they are involved in this type of exercise program.” Full info here.

••• Lynda Lippin, a trainer at Real Pilates, and her husband have a novel out: Zombie Killing Stoners. From the description on Amazon: “The ZomPoc has hit New York City like the ‘A’ train plowing into a baby stroller. A high-rise at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge in Lower Manhattan has become the center of the universe for a group of survivors who think outside the box. Everyone understands the smoke signals from inside the bowl. This short but sweet first installment packs in: Lots of Zombies (it’s the Big Apple, after all). Explosions. Awesome Views. Big Guns. Big Samoan Drag Queens. Kind Bud. Hot Babes. Mormons. More Zombies. Laughs. Musicians. Thespians. Millionaires. Dogs.” Lynda says the high-rise in question is 8 Spruce Street.

••• From a reader in northwest Tribeca: “My coop and a neighboring building sent a letter like the one below to the Landmarks Preservation Commission and to the mayor’s office with signatures from our residents.  If everyone who cares could post something like this in their lobbies and send it in with signatures, maybe it would help make a statement.”
