EDITH’S  ON HIATUS
Edith’s Sandwich Counter, the weekday breakfast and lunch spot that was stationed at Tiny’s starting June 21, has closed — I guess it was closed for much of August? No word on when she will reopen but hopefully soon…

BPC PARKS CONSTRUCTION WALKING TOURS
Battery Park City’s North/West Resiliency Project is planning for seawalls and park reconstruction throughout Rockefeller Park and into Tribeca streets, to address risks associated with storm surge and sea level rise. These plans, which are now approximately 30 percent complete and projected to cost roughly $630 million, will be discussed in two outdoor site walks will be led by members of the BPCA’s design and engineering teams. On Oct. 19 and 21, from 3:30 to 6p, the team will cover the plans for Tribeca, West Street, the North Esplanade behind Stuyvesant High School, Rockefeller Park and its adjacent Esplanade, and Belvedere Plaza. Register in advance here (or just show up).

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISER FOR BMCC
The BMCC Foundation will host its annual gala — though this is its first in-person one in two years — on Oct. 25 at Tribeca 360 and will honor Moody’s CEO Rob Fauber for the company’s longtime commitment to the college and its students. Proceeds from the gala provide scholarships to hundreds of students. “Students who are awarded scholarships are nearly four times more likely to graduate within three years than comparable non-recipients,” said Karen Wilson-Stevenson, Interim Vice President for Institutional Advancement.
