••• “The only New Yorker killed in Tuesday’s terror attack was a 23-year-old software engineer remembered as a ‘sweetheart.’ [He was] West Village resident Nicholas Cleves. […] Cleves was a graduate of Elisabeth Irwin High School and had just completed a degree in computer science and physics from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs last year, according to his Facebook page.” —New York Post

••• “The FBI and NYPD are looking to question a second person of interest in Tuesday’s Manhattan truck attack that left eight people dead and nearly a dozen others injured. The FBI released a wanted poster for Mukhammadzoir Kadirov on Wednesday evening. The man, an Uzbek national, has not been named a suspect in the attack, but authorities are looking for information on the man and his whereabouts.” —NBC News 4

••• “How New York City could have protected those cyclists and pedestrians.” (Metal bollards.) —New York

    Lots about the glamour of Leonard Street, with a little about 111 apartments having a lobby entrance 8 (eight) feet wide. Sounds grand.

    “That 30-foot-long alley—only eight-feet wide in places—will now be the main lobby entrance for 111 new condominiums under construction in a 19-story building of large glass windows and dark terra-cotta panels. To compensate for its narrow width, the building entrance will soar to a 25-foot height and be lined with brick and illuminated bronze metal columns in keeping with the industrial motif.

    “The new condos went on the market last week by Toll Brothers City Living, a division of Toll Brothers Inc., at prices ranging from $795,000 for studios to $10.5 million for a four-bedroom duplex penthouse with outdoor space.”
