GROUND BROKEN ON LIZ BERGER PARK
The Broadsheet has all the details on the groundbreaking for Elizabeth Berger Park, which will be in the traffic triangle (well, it’s more of a lima bean) created by Greenwich, Trinity and the little Edgar Street, a couple blocks north of The Battery. The park is expected to be completed next August.

As a little aside, Edgar Street has the distinction of making the list of the city’s shortest streets, according to Curbed, along with Mill Lane in Fidi, Mosco in Chinatown (which is, of course, home to Fried Dumplings), the newly invented York up by Canal (which still bugs me) and Renwick just north of Canal.

FILM FESTIVAL MAKES DEAL AT PIER 57
Forbes reports that the Tribeca Film Festival just signed a deal to move into Pier 57 (at the end of 15th Street), also the future home of City Winery, and will host its free films on the roof, which will be a public access park when the pier is finished. The deal was struck between Tribeca Enterprises and RXR Realty, who is developing the pier along with Youngwood & Associates. The free community screenings should start with the film festival’s 2020 season.

ANOTHER CHELSEA GALLERY COMING TO TRIBECA
James spotted this announcement in ARTnews – the gallery P.P.O.W. is moving to 20 Cortlandt Alley in the fall of 2020. “There are things we could get [in Tribeca] that we just couldn’t get in Chelsea anymore,” Wendy Olsoff, the gallery’s cofounder, told ARTnews in a phone conversation. “We’re able to gain a beautiful space in a neighborhood we felt comfortable in…. Chelsea just got to be too corporate for us and our identity. It just didn’t match anymore.”

FANCY LUNCH SPOT LIST
Grub Street made a list of lunch spots with no rhyme or reason – I thought they were all new, but Pastis was on there? — that I could discern other than to encourage you to actually go out to lunch and not stand up at your desk and eat takeout. (I do want to check on Win Son Bakery ASAP.) For local spots, The Fulton, Crown Shy and Bar Wayo made the list.
