DUANE PARK GROUNDHOG PARTY & FUNDRAISER
Friends of Duane Park is holding its annual free Groundhog Day party in the park from 4 to 5:30p (cookies, hot chocolate) as well as a fundraiser that evening, which is a cocktail party on Feb. 2, from 6:30 to 8:30, in a sort of lowkey version of their famed loft tour. The evening will end with champagne toasts from Tribeca Wine Merchants. Tickets are $125 at DuanePark.org. Only 100 tickets available. The location will be revealed directly before the event.

NO WORD ON SOPHIE’S…
A couple of neighbors have asked if I know what’s happening with the new Sophie’s Cuban scheduled for Broadway and Worth, and alas, no word there. I have tried multiple angles… It is not yet listed on their website either.
