TWO BOOKS OUT ABOUT BERNIE GOETZ
The Times reviews two books, “Five Bullets” and “Fear and Fury,” about Bernhard Goetz — the Subway Vigilante — and his 1984 shooting of four teens on the downtown 2 train. Goetz fled from the Chambers Street station and the police search started here. It ended nine days later when Goetz turned himself in at a police station in Concord, NH, and gave the confession above. He still lives in the city.

CHECKING IN WITH CHEF BUDDHA LO
The Observer has a nice profile of Downtowner and Huso chef Buddha Lo. From The Observer: “In 2025, Marky’s Caviar and Huso moved to Tribeca, and the team’s sense of luxury in every form—space, food and decor—became a clear game changer. Less than a year after the move, Huso received its coveted Michelin star. ‘The restaurant as it is now is what I’ve always wanted,’ Lo says.”
