AKA WALL STREET HOTEL IS SHUTTERED
Crain’s reported — and I sat on for a while — that the AKA Wall Street hotel at William and Maiden Lane has closed permanently. The hotel group, owned by Korman Communities, now has five locations left in the city, and the Tribeca location extended its temporary shutdown, according to Labor Department filings. (I was in touch with them as recently as Sept. 22 when they said they had no updates for the Tribeca location, but clearly we will have to watch that.)

Playing for a franchise with such passionate and committed fans makes all the work you put in worth it. Winning at @TheGarden always gave me so much energy, joy and satisfaction. Thank you for all your love and support, Ranger fans!

LUNDQVIST MOVES TO THE CAPITALS
Tribecan and longtime Rangers goalie and Swede and Tiny’s owner Henrik Lundqvist signed a one-year deal with the Washington Capitals. See more here at ESPN or here at The Ringer. His tweets from Sept. 30, when the Rangers bought him out of the final year of his contract, made me a little teary. It’s hard to say goodbye to this town.

They’ve watched me come home happy, they’ve watched me come home sad but they’ve always been there to support me, no matter what the result.
Love you guys!Time to figure out what’s next… pic.twitter.com/IlmSdxeAG0
