Seen & Heard: Chanson is still in process

PATISSERIE CHANSON IS BLOOMING
Is it me or are those flowers growing?? The deck around Patisserie Chanson on Greenwich and Harrison is just about finished and their team told me this week that they are still in process and have not set an opening date: “We are looking at opening in Q4 2021 ASAP!”

BOOK NOOK BABY
I love a chance to run cute baby pics. So a big Tribeca welcome to the newest baby born to Rina and Andy Collins, who opened Book Nook here in 2017. Nessa Josie Collins was born June 18 and is already attending their Baby Hoots classes, naturally. Crazy detail: she is the first girl to be born on the Collins side in 65 years.

BACK TO GREECE AT TRIBECA’S KITCHEN
S. spotted a new awning at Tribeca’s Kitchen and the press rep for Andreas Koutsoudakis Jr. told me yes, there’s a new look coming to Tribeca’s Kitchen. It will be called Marathi, named for a beach in Crete. And he promised “all will be revealed later this week.” In the meantime, the restaurant is closed through Oct. 31 while they “return to their roots.”

CB1 NEW HOURS AND NUMBERS
Community Board 1’s office at 1 Centre is now open four days a week. They also have a new phone number for the office main line: 212-602-6300. In the near future, all calls to the old number will go to a recording. But if you need in person service, you must email them first at man01@cb.nyc.gov.

  1. I love that flower blooming deck. Agree theyโ€™re growing.

  2. Love seeing happy news! Cute baby!

  3. Chanson: Less is more.

  4. Since the neighborhood now has so many rats- the underside of this deck looks like a perfect nesting place for them. Is anyone monitoring decks & sheds in the neighborhood for quality of life issues?

    • Decks and platforms are prohibited on sidewalks under the outdoor eating program. Restaurants are allowed to only use removable tables and chairs within certain distances on sidewalks. Chansonโ€™s platform installation is completely non-compliant. Just a matter of time before the DOB comes and requires them to remove this.

  5. As a fellow Greek, Iโ€™m so excited to hear about the TriBeCa kitchen revamp!

  6. The quality of life for ๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿญ ๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿญ ๐Ÿ€ seems to be improving.

  7. We have loved Tribeca Kitchen for years and canโ€™t wait until they reopen.
