CHAMBERS MAKES THE TIMES 100
The Times released its list of the city’s 100 best restaurants and longtime local fave Chambers made the list. Fab. Jungsik is on there as well, and Saga in Fidi, along with a long list from Chinatown: Sunn’s, Kono, Hop Lee, Lei, Golden Diner, Corima. Of Chambers, The Times write: “The sesame pizza bianca is tall, gold-crusted, volcanically bubbled and porous within. It’s an omen for the meal to come, each dish detailed and heartfelt. Jonathan Karis, an alumnus of Gramercy Tavern, takes the season’s bounty and coaxes it into its fullest expression — home cooking at its most virtuosic.”

READING ALOUND FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES
The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, set up at the Mriya Gallery at 101 Reade, hosted a live 24-hour broadcast reading of the Epstein files, and amNY covered it this morning. Survivors of Epstein and his sexual abuses are the readers. “It just looks like paper, books, but what’s really important is to remember that we are actually real,” said Sharlene Rochard, one of Epstein’s hundreds of victims. “This is not a democratic hoax, so these are our stories in here, and they bring back really traumatic memories, so it’s actually really hard to do.”

NEW PLANS FOR PIER 15 AT THE SEAPORT
The Broadsheet covered CB1’s endorsement of a plan for new management by NY Waterway of the publicly-owned Pier 15. “Critics allege that early assurances about public access and amenities have been eclipsed as much of Pier 15 has been privatized and monetized,” The Broadsheet wrote.

ART GALLERIES CONVENE ON STREET VENDORS
This is a bit old but worth referencing: Hyperallergic noted that a group of Tribeca galleries met in January to ask the city to address the issues of street vendors in the gallery district. The galleries were seeking help from the city on safety and accessibility, and encouraged galleries to make 311 calls when necessary.
