TAVERN PLANNED FOR 88 WEST BROADWAY
The owners of Lelabar on Hudson in the West Village and two other spots in Park Slope have plans for a tavern in the old Jamba Juice space. Upstairs neighbors not psyched.

FIRST SONDER, THEN ARMED ROBBERY
A short-term rental company has taken over a couple hundred units at the newly converted 20 Broad, and the regular tenants say that a recent robbery is a symptom of the set-up.

SEEN & HEARD
Korean dessert tasting at Jungsik. Plus Tutto Il Giorno is now open for lunch on Saturdays; neighborhood ice rinks are warming up; Brookfield hosts a contest for the most creative use cans.

IN THE NEWS

IN THE NEWS
9/11 Tribute Museum losing its home. Plus the Wall Street Whole Foods is taking shape; the president is suing Dean & DeLuca for rent money; another charge of assault for BPC resident.

WHERE IN TRIBECA?
