••• The New York Times tells the tale of Temple Court, a.k.a. 5 Beekman Street, that wonderful, somewhat decrepit building that showed up on blogs—including this one—earlier in the year.

••• Matt Abramcyk—an owner of Warren 77, Smith & Mills, and the upcoming Super Linda—gets included in a New York Times article called “The New Club Kids.” That’s got to hurt a little, although perhaps not as much as the photo.
