••• The Japanese restaurant at 20 Warren is coming along.

••• Paper Source’s Tribeca store will be inside Maman, to the left right as you walk in, and it opens on Thursday.

••• If you’re only going to have one BLT this summer, it should be Houseman‘s. It’s perfect—and you can get fries with it.

••• From Pen Parentis: “On September 11, the tenth anniversary season opens at the Andaz Wall Street (75 Wall). Pen Parentis presents Graphic Novels by American Book Award winner Victor LaValle, acclaimed novelist Mira Jacob, celebrated nonfiction illustrator Josh Neufeld, and National Book Critics Circle Award winner Darin Strauss. Come mingle with these four noteworthy New Yorkers for an illustrious evening of life and literature. All adults are welcome. RSVP is recommended.”

••• Il Mulino is serving brunch. (It may have been from the get-go, but they haven’t been especially forthcoming and I doubt they will be now.) Cheap drinks.
