In the News: The Trump Soho Has Been Rebranded

••• Workers in the dead of night have removed the ‘Trump Soho’ lettering from the posh downtown hotel, bring­ing a quiet end to a controversial partnership [….] The hotel, which has cut all ties to President Trump and his family, is now known as the Dominick Soho Hotel and Spa.” —New York Post

••• “Plans for the ambitious and highly anticipated Bourdain Market are no more, at least on Pier 57. Globe-trotting TV celebrity Anthony Bourdain announced on Friday that he’s no longer working to open the sprawling, Singapore street hawker-inspired food hall on the far west side development. […] Hudson River Park Trust, which managers the pier, declined to comment. RXR Realty and YoungWoo and Associates did not immediately respond to request for comment. Bourdain added in his statement that he still hopes to pursue the project in New York City.” Here’s an idea: Kick everything out of Fulton Center and put it there. —Eater

••• “Last spring, when J.J. Hill finally closed on his dream apartment—a light-filled loft in Tribeca—the only thing missing was someone (or something) with whom to share it. […] Mr. Hill knew adopting a dog made the most sense, but finding the right one with such little free time seemed daunting. Luckily, Mr. Hill had grown close with his broker Jason Walker, an agent at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, who coincidentally is an ardent animal supporter. Mr. Walker has made a habit of rescuing dogs and occasionally gives them to select clients as closing gifts.” —New York Times

••• “A maintenance worker was stabbed [by another maintenance worker] at Pace University in lower Manhattan on Friday morning, police said. […] The male victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.” —New York Post

  1. Removing the trump name in the middle of the night is like removing confederate statues in Memphis in the middle of the same night!

  2. I suggest putting the Bourdain Food Hall in the American Stock Exchange Building.
