••• The “no parking” signs on the south side of Duane between W. Broadway and Church are for a “showroom installation” at 144 Duane (below street level or somewhere above it). Here’s the permit in one of the van’s windows. (Atomic is this company.) Closing the entire side of one block for 17 days for a showroom installation seems a bit much….

••• Whenever I walk by 195 Broadway, I peek inside to see if there are any signs of Nobu. The restaurant’s plan was to open in the lobby and downstairs—in a space that’s more than 14,000-square feet total— by early 2017. In the meantime, you might want to start getting your final meals in the Tribeca location; it closes at the end of the year. (Nobu Next Door, too.)

••• The BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center’s monthly-ish Tribeca Meet & Greet is next Wednesday, Aug. 10, at Poets House (6:30 to 9 p.m.). It’s open to anyone and everyone, and if you’ve never been to Poets House, you really should check it out.

••• The entrance to 5 Franklin Place (on Franklin Place, the alley that runs between White and Franklin) is revealed. Probably has been for a while—can’t say I check out Franklin Place that often. Click the photo for a better sense of it.

••• There’s a Department of Buildings permit in the window of 19 Sixth Ave., the back room of Soho Pharmacy that’s being turned into a liquor store. The liquor license isn’t approved yet, but the work may have to be completed first.

••• I used to always walk on the south side of Warren to get to Asphalt Green every morning, but the halal cart at Greenwich starts cooking meat before 7 a.m., and the smell (particularly at that hour) is hard to take. Which means I now walk on the north side, where I discovered yet another cat on Warren! It wouldn’t even look at me, though.
