MAN ASKED TO ROB CAPITAL ONE
Police report that a man came in to the Capital One at Chambers and West Broadway on Monday and asked a teller for money. When she walked away, he left. (Does not sound like the work of a pro.) This all took place around 1. After getting a tip from T., I walked in there around 3 and asked the teller if there had been a robbery attempt and she said no. I guess that’s the protocol? Either way, by then all was quiet and the place had the usual buzz of tellers and customers coming and going. –Patch

MINUS TRUMP = REVENUE
Crain’s reported that once the Trump Soho changed its name to The Dominick, things started to turn around: “Dominick’s revenue per available room, or revpar, rose more than 20% from a year earlier, recovering fully from a prolonged slump. The hotel’s average nightly rate shot up $51, or 20%, compared with a citywide average increase of just 2% among its competitors. And the 391-room, 46-story hotel booked 7,000 more room nights in 2018 than in 2017.”
