••• “South West New York, Battery Park City’s long-established eatery at South End Avenue and Albany Street, is taking on a new, livelier—and sudsier—identity. Owner Merchant Hospitality, Inc., has announced that it will be closing its Mexican-style restaurant at the end of this month and in March reopen it as a beer hall and restaurant called Treadwell Park. South West has been in business in Battery Park City since 1999. Merchant Hospitality’s current Treadwell Park (slogan: “Undying passion for outstanding beer”) has been a popular Upper East Side destination since it opened a little more than a year ago.” (I borrowed the photo from Treadwell Park’s Instagram, which didn’t identify the dish. The menu didn’t help.) —Tribeca Trib
