History of Tribeca Buildings
Seen & Heard: Action at the All Good Things Space
••• “Mysterious excavation on the parking lot at the northwest corner of Franklin and Church,” emails a tipster. “At first I thought that this was the beginning of the long-awaited apartment building, but it seems to have something to do with the basement of the former All Good Things. As you can see, they have dug a hole and some sort of entrance to it. My Spanish was not good enough to ask the crew working on it.” Know anything? Email tribecacitizen@gmail.com or call/text 917-209-6473. UPDATE: “That hole was likely a test pit to assess the depth of the neighbor’s existing foundation and the need for underpinning the existing building before building the new building,” comments James, adding the DOB paperwork to prove it.
••• Press release: “Music & More, a new concert series presented at the City Hall Restaurant’s Granite Room, will present an eclectic program of works by Brahms and Piazzolla entitled ‘The Odd Couple: Brahms and Piazzolla’ on Monday, June 15, from 6:45–9:30 p.m. Pianist Tatjana Rankovich, the artistic director of the series, will be joined by violinist Robert Radliff and cellist Diana Golden.” Tickets include a buffet dinner.
••• From Notify NYC: “There will be a fireworks display off Ellis Island tomorrow, June 6, at 10:15 p.m.” 10:15 on a Saturday night / And the tap drips / Under the strip light….
••• A reader noticed that Le District’s outdoor seating is getting closer….
••• And here’s more about the pop-up gallery at 365 Broadway. It appears to be for an artist going by Market Price.
