NOSY NEIGHBOR: 55 WARREN
“I heard that 55 Warren is being turned into full-block (that means going to the other side, to 55 Murray!) condos with a windowed atrium at the center of each of the units. If so, that would be pretty cool. Do you know anything about it?” —Nichole W. Now I do!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE
A commenter’s experience about Emergency Medical Care, the new facility at 200 Chambers, made me wonder whether anyone else had been there. If so, what did you think?

WHAT’S UP THIS WEEK
1. South Korean film A Barefoot Dream, screens at Tribeca Cinemas; it’s “a scrappy burst of soccer adrenaline.”
2. The big discussion at this month’s CB1 Tribeca Committee will be about Hazelden’s plans for a halfway house at 283 W. Broadway, and we may finally learn about the plans for 59 Reade, f.k.a. Spaghetti Western.
3. Joyce Carol Oates appears at Mysterious Bookshop to support Give Me Your Heart, a collection of her stories published by the bookshop’s own Otto Penzler.
Just three of the highlights from the calendar for this week (Mon.–Thurs.). More info on these—and the full calendar—is here.

GUESS WHO’S MOVING IN….
You know the three-story brick building at Hudson and Thomas, where Paul Kohn Design used to be? A national chain has rented the Hudson-facing part of the ground floor—and it’s trying to make nice with the neighborhood.

SEEN & HEARD
••• 1/6 roundup: ROC discount. Plus: Deals on Music for Aardvarks and swimming; free wine; Liberty Church launching weekly service; Tribeca Meet & Greet; new Holocaust website for students; Tribeca in Portugal.
••• 1/7 roundup: Color Me Mine Reborn. Plus: Rumors of a restaurant’s closing; another cupcake shop?; “Little Red Riding Hood”; Mehtaphor’s vegetarian menu; Duane Street Hotel.
••• No one has guessed last week’s Where in Tribeca…?, and it’s in a fairly unobscure spot….
••• Photo Safari: This week’s photos were taken on Warren, Chambers, Cortlandt Alley, and in Whole Foods. (I renamed “Foto Friday” because I couldn’t bear to keep typing “foto.”)
