This remained the case as recently as August, when downtown had the lowest amount of leasing activity (about 445,000 square feet), the lowest average asking rent ($58.24 per square foot) and the highest availability rate (21.3%) of the three neighborhoods, according to data from Colliers.”

LATE NIGHT EATS
Eater made a list of the best late night restaurants in the city, including Dim Sum Palace on Division which stays open till 3a. Giving a shoutout to Tribeca’s last 24-hour joint: Benvenuto. From Eater: “Before the pandemic, the neighborhood was packed with late-night restaurants: Now, it’s one of the few places to serve food past midnight. Pick among barbecue pork buns and roast duck spring rolls, or order larger plates to share, like whole lobster with ginger and scallion or snails with celery and hot peppers.”
