••• The Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee at the Roxy Hotel (with an entrance on Sixth Ave.) confirmed with Sara—thanks for the intel!—that it’s opening Monday.

••• Jean has good news and bad news on the Collect Pond Park hawks: “The Male Red Tailed Hawk found a new mate. The Family Court Officers observed both hawks on the Dept. of Health building. Will they too follow the faith of the recently dead hawk? Once again, the Dept. of Health placed down more rat poison on 4/9/16. DEC autopsy result showed rodenticide in the dead female hawk… Please write to your council person, Dept of Parks and Recreation and the Dept. of Health to end the use of poison. Many parks in the city have switched to Snap Traps. It’s safer for wildlife and the environment.”

••• Something is happening at the former Yuya Nail & Spa at 315 Greenwich (at Reade). Anyone know what?

••• One of the May shows (opening May 4) at Soho Photo is of work by Peter Agron: “Properties of Light is a new selection of black and white gelatin silver images printed in the last two years from 35mm negatives.” Judging from this portfolio, it’ll be worth checking out. (The exquisite photo below is from the online portfolio I found, and may or may not be in the Soho Photo show.)

••• Opening April 26 at Hal Bromm Gallery: an exhibition of work by the late Rosemarie Castoro. Below: A photo of her 1990 show at the gallery.
