In the News: Au Cheval is now taking reservations

NO LONGER RESERVATIONS ABOUT RESERVATIONS
Eater reports that Au Cheval is now taking reservations on Resy, to counter the three-hour-long lines. Still,“there are a slew of daytime openings, as well as some for weekend brunch, but available dinner spots are more toward the dreaded 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. times.”

SUNDAY ROUTINE AT REGAL
Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery (for 24 years) and by my standards perhaps the #1 coolest guy in the city, gives a shout-out to the Regal Cinemas in BPC in his Sunday Routine feature in the Times (he lives in Boerum Hill): “I either go to the movies at Battery Park City or Turtle Bay. I go for the overall cool crowd and good seating, good-size screens. Those are great theaters.” So again, why no beer at Regal still??

52 PLACES INCLUDES HERE
The Times’ 52 Places Traveler, Sebastian Modak, had to cover his own city and decided to do it by walking the length of Manhattan (so much for the other boroughs!) from Battery Park to Fort Tryon Park in one day – eight hours, 12 miles. This is what he saw in our neck of the woods: “Approaching the city you live in as a tourist allows you to see the place in a new light — and I don’t mean finally making it to the American Museum of Natural History or Katz’s Deli. I mean the little things: How, when the sun is high, the shadow that consumes Trinity Church is the perfect respite for eyes strained by the glare of the Financial District’s office towers right behind it. Or how the food cart proprietors, fishing for hungry customers, often tie a single pretzel from their yellow-and-blue Sabrett signs.”

BOXCAR ARRIVES AT MUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE
The Museum of Jewish Heritage unveiled a box car used to transport prisoners as part of its upcoming show on Auschwitz, which opens on May 8. The car was lowered onto tracks from a crane onto the plaza on the river side of the museum, and will stay there until January 2020. –-The Trib
