The bar in the Smyth Tribeca — now called the Smyth Bar — is open AND, unlike the pre-pandemic days, open to the public. Hours are Monday to Thursday, 5 to 11p; Friday and Saturday, 5p to 1a; Sunday, noon to 8p. (Still no specifics on the restaurant, but hopefully some news soon.)
GIRL SCOUT TROOP SELLING AT THE SEAPORT
Girl Scout Troop 6000, a program specially designed to serve girls in the New York City shelter system, will host its annual cookie sale at The Corner — the Seaport’s gathering spot at 25 Fulton. The sale will run March 10 to 12: Thursday and Friday, 4-8p; Saturday, 12-4p.

OSCAR HOWE AT THE AMERICAN INDIAN MUSEUM
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian will present “Dakota Modern: The Art of Oscar Howe” starting March 11. The retrospective traces the arc of his career beginning with early conventional work created while he was in high school in the 1930s and continued through the emergence of his own innovative and abstract approach to painting in the 1950s and 1960s. On view through Sept. 11, 2022. One of the 20th century’s most innovative Native American painters, Howe committed his artistic career to the preservation, relevance and ongoing expression of his Yanktonai Dakota culture.

Stopped by Smythe Bar in early Feb when they first opened. Nice local addition for sure.
Although I am confused about the “being open the public comment.” I used to go to that bar all the time before the pandemic, usually after drinks or a meal at Little Park. I never had any issue getting served.
When it was redesigned and reopened in May 2019 by AKA, it was not open to the public — only to hotel guests.
I too am somewhat confused by the comment that it wasn’t previously open to the public, having gone there a number of times without ever being a guest at the hotel. In any case, it’s great to have it reopening!
Here’s an email from the press team at AKA from November 2019, so you believe me! “While not open to the general public, and reserved for guests of the hotel, I do think it would great for you to come see the space and speak with the Managing Director so you can learn a bit more about the AKA brand and why they keep their spaces private.”
