WINSTON’S COMING SOON??
Winston’s, the bar that is scheduled to replace Ward III on Reade, looks like it’s making progress, but it’s slow going. They applied for their liquor license in March 2022

POLISHING THE UN-NAMED BEAN
Anish Kapoor’s sculpture at 56 Leonard, which I just call The Bean, is getting repaired and has been for a couple weeks now. (A. and H. have sent pics over the spring.) A woman stationed as a guard said they are touching it up, but I think two of the seams have moved since it was first installed. Also, she said it is still unnamed. The one in Chicago is called Cloud Gate. More soon on that, I hope.
