••• From Cooking by the Book: “On Wednesday, November 19, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., we will be hosting Eric Asimov, chief wine critic of The New York Times.

••• A reader points out that if you have a noise (or other) issue with a restaurant or bar, not only should you contact the State Liquor Authority, as per Nicole V’s comment, but keep a record of the complaint number and also send it on to Community Board 1 (whose website, by the way, has a link to the SLA). Of course, this should always be after you’ve first reached out to the business in question.

••• Film-shoot notices were posted on Worth, near Church, for something called “C” on Monday. I asked @OLV on Twitter if they know what it is (haven’t heard back yet), and Christy “Frankly Wines” Frank asked if I ever tried just calling the number. I have—and I just did for “C”—but there’s the phone isn’t in service or the there’s no answer. P.S. Unless it’s this Japanese TV show?

••• The South Street Seaport tree lighting is Dec. 2 (and not Nov. 28, as in a recent email newsletter).

Moore and Duane. Bring your own gardening gloves if you have them (we have some), but we’ll have everything else.”
