Seen & Heard: Frankly Wines doubles down

MORE WINE!
Frankly Wines doubled in size over the weekend! More TK once the renovation is complete and the bottles are in place.

NEW AND IMPROVED COBBLES?
A. sent this pic of the trompe l’oeil cobblestones on Greenwich at Laight. Call is in to the DOT to explain the plan here (the permit is for DOT in-house paving and milling). Certainly will make for a smoother ride, though it’s hard to tell just how these are constructed and what the total effect will be aesthetically. Stay tuned.

PURE GREEN ON WARREN
Looks like Pure Green Cleaners has moved to Warren Street from Murray? South side, between Church and West Bway.

THE LATEST INSTAGRAM BAIT
Set up at 1 York (really Sixth and Canal): a pop-up installation by Tianyu Qiu — a New York-based Chinese interdisciplinary artist, curator and designer — called Pixinity: Pop-Futurism. (Thanks to C. for pic.)

NO MORE HAPPY LAND??
Am I the last to know that Happy Land (on Church) closed? Those gals spared me a few crippling back crises over the years. And — according to a friend, ahem — it was in fact the land of happy endings.

  1. Hopefully north tribeca pays the full cost of these silly cobblestones.
    This should not be passed to other resident tax payers with normal streets.
    Meh!
