••• To go with a blurb on the public meeting on Oct. 19, Downtown Post NYC ran a rendering of Pier 26 that I’ve never seen before.

••• The New York Post says that the Odeon is hot again, thanks to Condé Nast and Refinery 29. Which is great, but the real news is this:

“And people like them do go. He’s an editor. She’s a screenwriter. They live in Tribeca. They would naturally be having their date-night dinners sometimes at Odeon,” says McInerney, who spent his own years at the Odeon hunched at the bar with a vodka, or crouched by the bathroom with some cocaine. (“I tried to confine my activities to the bathroom. I was a very proper person,” he says.)
