••• “Tribeca Crossing,” a painting by Tessa Coleman, via the New English Art Club. It’s for sale here.

••• The State Liquor Authority hearing about the suspension of Remix’s liquor license—for operating as an adult-entertainment establishment, among many other things—is this Thursday, Feb. 9. From someone who understands these things: “Once hearings are complete and the Administrative Law Judge rules on the charges, the decision will go to the SLA Full Board for penalty, which can result in a financial penalty or in cancellation of the license.”

••• I have no idea whether this is new, because I’m rarely on West Street in winter, but the City Vineyard building at the base of Pier 26 has a big orange sign that lights up at night. I suspect its primary raison d’être is to help people find the restaurant. The typography doesn’t have much in common with the “skate” and “golf” signage at Pier 25.

••• While I was on my winter West Street walk, I realized that 111 Murray—currently just over half its final height—is going to end up stealing quite a bit of 1 World Trade Center’s thunder.

••• Speaking of things I missed, a wine bar/restaurant called Local & Vyne opened in November at 282 Hudson (at Dominick), where Cody’s Bar & Grill was. Its focus is on New York vineyards and breweries.
