••• From Luis Vasquez, who runs the FiDi Fan Page (and is a Keller Williams broker): “It is with great pride that we announce the formation of The Financial District Neighborhood Association! Please join me at our very first Town Hall meeting on Thursday, February 11, 2016, 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Pine Street School (25 Pine Street). Get to know about the Financial District Neighborhood Association and learn more about how you can help make this growing neighborhood even better—from cleaner streets and more beautiful sidewalks, to larger and better open spaces, to advocating on many kinds of other issues affecting our quality of life.”

••• Press release: “On Saturday, February 6 at 7:30 p.m., Schimmel Center at Pace University will present an evening with The Bacon Brothers featuring Kevin Bacon on vocals, guitar, harmonica and percussion and Michael Bacon on vocals, guitar and cello.”

••• Two family performances coming up at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center: “Henry & Mudge” (Feb. 6) and “Alice in Wonderland” (Feb. 27).

••• A Howard Hughes Corporation spokesperson sent over this response to the recent Friends of the South Street Seaport letter:

The planning document that CB1 discussed Tuesday night was a preliminary document that HHC submitted to EDC in August 2015. It contained a conceptual-level plan for the New Market site that is not going forward at this time. Because there is no New Market site proposal going forward at this time, government agency applications have not been filed and environmental review has not commenced. Over the last two years, HHC has been engaged in ongoing dialogue with NYCEDC, the City, elected officials, and community stakeholders for a plan at the New Market site. Once a proposal for the New Market site is finalized, HHC will submit an application to the appropriate agencies and the proposal will undergo all required public review as well as community engagement.

••• The 1st Precinct Community Council‘s next meeting is Thursday, Jan. 28, at 6:30 p.m. at the station house (Varick and Ericsson).
