••• DNAinfo has a few pix of Le District, which is says is opening “its ‘café district’—an area that features coffee, freshly baked waffles and crepes, along with an extensive selection of pastries—on March 27. The rest of the space, conceptually split into three more ‘districts’—is aiming to open by April 1,” which is Wednesday.

UPDATE: I hear the opening is pushed back because Le District doesn’t have gas yet.
