••• “A man was slashed on the forehead and kicked in the stomach by a fellow straphanger after falling asleep on an uptown 3 train last week, police said.” 9 p.m. on Sunday at the Park Place station. (“Straphanger” is like “eatery”—one of those words best avoided in writing because no one ever says it.) —DNAinfo

••• FiDi Fan Page spotted temporary signage for two tenants in the under-revamp Seaport District: By Chloe vegan fast food and Scotch & Soda apparel. It’s notable the Howard Hughes Corporation has been mum about where either would be located.
