TRIBECA FESTIVAL OPENS
Page Six had some shots from the opening night of the Tribeca Festival on June 3 at the Beacon Theater. Earth Wind & Fire performed. The annual event — 25 years old — runs through June 14.

HEIST IN THE WINE CELLAR
The Wall Street Journal has an amazing story (thanks to J. for sharing) of a pair of thieves who plundered bottles worth up to $36,000 (!) from a Virginia inn’s wine cellar, wearing an overcoat customized with wine-bottle-shaped pockets; days earlier they pulled the same maneuver at Huso on Greenwich. From The WSJ: “The playbook was the same: The pair asked for a tour of the restaurant’s wine cellar. While the woman distracted the guide, the man snatched a 2018 bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti worth more than $4,600.”

DECADES OF ART AND DANCE IN TRIBECA
The Trib has a feature on Duane Street residents Karen Bernard and Scott Wixon, who moved to their loft in 1975 in order to pursue their artistic careers. From The Trib: “Wixon had plenty of room to paint large in the rear and Bernard, an experimental dancer and choreographer, could move freely in the front. On the floor in the center space lay their mattress…Fast forward half a century, long since Wixon’s own labor turned the space into a truly livable home, and three children, including twins, grew up and moved out. Much, of course, has changed. But the art never stopped.”

TRUMP STILL GUNNING FOR CONGESTION PRICING
The Trump administration keeps gunning for congestion pricing; in early May they appealed the a decision by a federal judge that allowed it to proceed. From Crain’s: “In March, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman found that U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s efforts to stop the program were unlawful, paving the way for it to continue. On Friday, Duffy filed a notice to the court of his plans to appeal that decision…The MTA sued Duffy in February 2025 after USDOT revoked prior authorization of the tolling program that was granted under the Biden administration. Liman ruled in March that Duffy’s move to end congestion pricing was ‘arbitrary and capricious,’ but he declined to issue an order blocking future attempts to halt the program.”
