••• Plans were filed for a “four-story rooftop restaurant, bar, and lounge” on 100 Church (between Park Place and Barclay—it’s the building with Aroma at street level). The filing “calls for building three small but tall additional floors atop the 20-story building. The floors would add just around 19,000 square feet [and] its total height would rise from 217 feet to 260 feet. In addition to the three new stories—labeled ‘bar/lounge with outdoor seating’ on the Schedule A filing—offices, dining rooms, and mechanical space on the 20th floor would be turned into just a restaurant and mechanical space.” —New York YIMBY

••• New York Times critic Pete Wells, New York critic Adam Platt, and Eater critic Ryan Sutton all included Bâtard on their lists of 2014’s best new restaurants. Platt also mentioned Little Park, where I had a really good lunch a couple of weeks ago. Need to get back for dinner ASAP.
