••• Dahlia’s has a sign saying it’s closed for “kitchen repairs.” While it’s always a concern when a restaurant closes for repairs, especially at the end of a month, the East Village location said there was a kitchen fire at the Tribeca location.
••• James noticed on the DOB website that Harley-Davidson of NYC got a violation for its use of a public plaza:

••• I’m intrigued by what 56 Leonard will look like at night.
••• And there’s an interesting mistacked-boxes building going up across the Hudson.
••• The new Soho location of Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates (at 333 Hudson) opens Monday.
••• A press release came out about the pop-up toy store at 345 Greenwich: “Learning Express Toys, the nation’s largest educational toy retailer, welcomes its newest pop-up shop to the Tribeca neighborhood. Owner Ali Garcia will host an all-day Halloween party and Grand Opening celebration Saturday, Oct. 31 featuring prizes, raffles and trick-or-treating.” There was someone in an Elmo suit standing outside yesterday, if you’re into that.

56 Leonard at night is a wonder indeed. Notice how brightly the construction lights on the top floors shine? If you have a bedroom window in sight of those (even at a distance) you have surely installed opaque blinds. We’re hoping that the lighting once the apartments are built out, is much more tolerable.
I’m pretty sure people that live there won’t be lighting up their apartments in 10000 watt construction lights.
