Seen & Heard: “Brandon Santander” Is Back
••• Brookfield Place zhooshed up the controversial Santa photo situation (but what’s up with the twiggy blue tree?). Thanks to Penny for the photo.
••• “The hot homeless guy [Brandon Santander] is back in front of Santander Bank—and looks like he’s going condo,” reports J. “The mattress is seriously a new one. A friend pointed out that when he first showed back up he had three suitcases with him… Now they’re nowhere to be found. Does he have a storage space in the hood?”
••• R. sent a pic taken through Best Market’s open door yesterday. Looks like they’re doing some work, which is reassuring; maybe the groceries spotted the other day were provisions for the workers. “They’re painting today,” added S., who also sent a pic. “Fans on and you can smell it with the doors propped open. It does look like it will open sooner rather than later. And then N., who also sent a pic, pointed this out: “If the commenter who said that the lease only had 2-3 years on it is right, I wouldn’t blame them for just trying to get some cash flow asap instead of spending time and capital on it before knowing how hard the landlord is going to negotiate.”
••• Facebook is choosing to show some posts but not others, and its criteria are mysterious, to say the least. Two recent posts that it all but ignored were about the sexy new tenant in the former All Good Things space and the CB1 Unofficial Minutes, which include info on this sculpture coming to Albert Capsouto Park.
••• MasterCard is shooting an ad in the Murray/W. Broadway area tomorrow. Maybe it’s at New York Dolls?
••• Fabio Scalia Salon is opening on the W. Broadway side of the Soho Mews building in January, according to the signage.

Most worrisome about the guy living in front of Santander is that he brazenly smokes crack all day in front of everyone, including children. A few days ago, he was pacing up and down the street screaming out loud at passers by. He was clearly drugged out. Can’t the police do anything abut this?
No because we all think he’s too hot
You are very sad and probably do not LIVE in this neighborhood.
With all of the American sons & daughters serving in the military throughout the world, it’s very comforting to know that Brandon Santander has got the greater Tribeca area covered. Can CB1 give him a medal? Or can you not give someone a medal on a side street?
I think Tom would volunteer for that Jim
Did you call the cops? If not, why didn’t you? If you see him acting crazy again, call the cops.
I don’t know what is so cool about this guy. For one if he wasn’t white and to some of you “hot” you’d think he was an eyesore and/or a menace. Two he’s not homeless he’s homeless until it hits 50 degrees Farenheit or below. What a coincidence that he’s back when the weather is unseasonably warm (Google Weather shows highs of 62, 61, 52, and 60 today through Thursday.) Once it gets too cold Brandon The Fake Homeless Guy will be gone again until it’s warm again.
He’s probably just camping out there hoping to be spotted by taylor swift and/or her friends
“Best Yet’s vice president and general counsel, Or Raitses, told the Trib in a telephone interview. […]
Best Yet will pay $300,000 to take over what’s left on the store’s lease as well as Food Emporium’s fixtures and equipment. Raitses estimated that about two-and-a-half or three years remain on the lease.”

I just saw Jenna Bush Hagger and her hubby near Sun in Bloom Tribeca location this afternoon. They were in their work out clothes. I was starstruck. LOL!
Well put Xavier! I completely agree.
