In the News: Regal Cinemas Is Now Searching Bags

••• “The development team at Alexico Group sent over a photo from the tippy top of the Jenga-like [56 Leonard] looking north toward Midtown, with river to river views. A rep says that the ‘cocoon’ is coming down over the next few weeks, and ‘the most thrilling segment of the building’ will finally be revealed.” Why didn’t they send it to TC?! Oh, that’s why. Anyway, you can compare it to the pre-construction pix taken by a drone.

••• As someone who reads the Tribeca Trib online, I came late to the news that the current issue is the last of the print edition.

  1. Does that mean I can’t sneak Shake Shack into the movies anymore?

  2. i am glad to read that la monte young and marian zazeela are getting the exposure they deserve. they are among the surviving remnants of a period when tribeca was actually about art and culture. that the dream house on church street still survives, is a testament to their commitment and the dedication of their patrons, especially heiner friedrich.
