••• The Wall Street Journal profiled Charlotte Voisey, the cocktail guru at the W New York Downtown‘s Living Room bar: “I liked the idea of bringing a night-time element to a Monday through Friday, nine-to-five scene,” she said. “If you look at all the neighborhoods, the Meatpacking District, the East Village, one bar starts there and a few years later the rest follow. I’m hoping we will be that bar in the area.”

••• “Wall Street Plaza is a 33-floor building at 88 Pine Street that rises up beside the East River in Lower Manhattan. Famed architecture firm Pei Cobb Freed and Partners designed the tower in the late 1960s, and the building now houses the firm’s offices. The owners say that this fact-that it boasts the signature I.M. Pei touch-makes the building “iconic.” So iconic, in fact, that to allow a newsstand in front of it would be eternally damaging to its aesthetic appeal.” (The New York Observer) It’s New York City, folks. Get over it.
