CITY VINEYARD…
…looked so inviting the other night and I don’t think I have given a proper update since they opened their expanded seating area on Pier 26 as well as their rooftop. Hours are from noon to 9p Sundays through Thursdays and noon to 10p Fridays and Saturdays. The rooftop will be open when weather permits. Seating is first come, first served — no reservations. See the menu here.

GURHAN ATELIER IS NOW OPEN
Gurhan Orhan and his wife Fiona have reopened their beautiful shop of handcrafted jewelry at 160 Franklin between Varick and Hudson. They opened here just over six years ago. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11a to 7p.

NILI LOTAN OPEN ON DUANE PARK
The eponymous store of neighbor Nili Lotan has been open for a few weeks, and looking gorgeous as always, but just getting to this mention now. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 11a to 7p; noon to 6p on Sunday.

Phase 2 : When I walk through my neighborhood of downtown manhattan, I must admit that the streets feel like “ the days after “ a war, totally deserted. While the sun shines a beautiful summer day, there is a sense of after shock, some confusion and uncertainty. And yet, there is a new tenderness, a vulnerability, and warmth, a feeling of hope and restart. A kind humility that excites me for the future and lifts my spirit. My store looks beautiful, with my team waiting for my regular and new clients to stop by and reconnect. Welcoming back my neighbors and sending love. @laughingmancoffee @duaneparkpattiserie @williamsonpr @lovelybride @theOdeonnyc @tribecacitizens
