••• “I almost got arrested for taking this picture of the dome at 60 Centre Street, so you better run it,” emailed D. “The guard cut me off only a third of the way through the panorama.”

••• P.S. 234’s annual Friends & Fashion sale is this coming week, November 5-9, at 370 Greenwich. (That’s one of the Independence Plaza storefronts—look at Vornado Realty Trust doing something nice for the community!) From a past year’s description: “New and gently used women’s clothing and accessories on sale for a great cause!”

••• For you Australians: Hole in the Wall café in FiDi is serving a Tim Tam shake, or at least it was last week.

••• From J.: “A Spanish friend, Montse Zamorano—who is getting a bit of a reputation for her architectural photos—has a project she did when she lived in New York looking at 100 construction sites in NYC (including a bunch in Tribeca). She plans to come back and photo the same places in five years.” Check it out. Below: 56 Leonard, which I still think looked best before it got glassed.

••• Beer Seeker recently asked whether the Torch & Crown brewpub is still opening in 1 Soho Square, as the office building at the northwest corner of Sixth Ave. and Spring is being called. “Can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be,” I replied. “(But if you know something, spill it.) Don’t make much out of it not opening in October as hoped; nothing opens on time. There’s a half-finished website that says the taproom is “currently under construction—check back soon for updates.” I walked by the other day, and while I couldn’t get any bead on where it stands (there’s no signage yet), there is a rendering from the broker posted that shows how the restaurant will be situated on Vandam. The area to the left is a little half-alley.
