Seen & Heard: The Return of Il Mattone

••• R. noticed that the posted sketch of 49 Beach’s storefront indicates the restaurant will be Il Mattone, formerly at Greenwich and Hubert (where Sweetgreen is now). We knew that Il Mattone’s owner was opening a pizzeria at 49 Beach, but it was never clear that the new place would take the old name.

Il Mattone 49 Beach••• A third shoot (besides John Wick 2 and Furball) is happening in Tribeca today: “Tiara,” which is what the Marvel TV show “Luke Cage” is going by, is filming in the Broadway/Franklin area.

••• I hear that Brookfield Place is setting up six pop-up stalls—selling coffee, ice cream. flowers, and more—in the Winter Garden for the holidays. Two thoughts: 1) It sounds like All Good Things; 2) Le District can’t be thrilled.

••• Live the dream: “The Manhattan Borough President’s office is currently accepting applications for Community Board membership.”

••• From Tamid:
