SMOKING ON THE RISE
Local therapist Matt Lundquist, who owns Tribeca Therapy, is quoted in a Times story about the rise in bad habits since the pandemic started: “When things are scary, people revert to that which is comforting and familiar, like going out to buy a pack of cigarettes,” he told the Times. “Mr. Lundquist noted that the panic was especially pronounced in the early days of the pandemic. ‘There was absolute fear in New York,’ he said. ‘People began drinking more and reverted to less healthy eating habits.'”

TRIBECA POWER ARTS COUPLE
Am I the last to know that Nili Lotan is married to the musician David Broza? Great match. She’s also highlighting local businesses on her Instagram right now, in between shots of her new collection with the Israeli desert as the backdrop.

    I saw a new sign at the old Baked store front on Church. If I recall correctly, it says “food by Twiggy”? I am not 100% sure. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture.

        Went to Twiggy today. Great food (to go for now), great space. Kudos to opening in this pandemic. All should support new and existing “neighborhood” establishments.

      Can confirm! Twiggy, to go is super good! Baked goods and pastries (super yummy breakfast options), lots of lunch options, dinner options, good coffee, they have a ton! Also very friendly staff!!!

      They have just opened on Tuesday, and I have been in every day this week it is so good! So happy to have something where Baked was. That store was missing a good food spot and I’m glad to have one there again!
