MAXWELL SOCIAL WILL USE NFTs AS TENDER
Happy to have someone else fully digest this and translate: Bloomberg has a story about Maxwell (NB not Max and not Maxwell’s from Reade), the private social club scheduled to open in the former China Blue space. It’s scheduled to open in July and will require that members own a nonfungible token, or NFT, as proof of their membership. If I am following, to join you will buy an NFT issued by the club itself. The story also said that membership fees will be $250 a month plus a fee for the storage of your liquor: $1,000 for shared liquor lockers; small liquor lockers will go for $5,000, and large liquor lockers $8,000. Read more on the original plan here.

ARTIST GOT HIS START AT THE MUDD CLUB
A new show at PPOW of Chris Ellis’ work (below) makes a direct connection with the Tribeca of yore, when the Mudd Club, at 77 White, was just around the corner from the gallery’s current location on Broadway. From The Times: “The Mudd Club was the first place that I ever sold a piece of work,” Ellis said at PPOW recently, his graying curls peeking out from under a knit cap. “This impromptu collaboration with Jean-Michel, where we both tagged up this piece of newsprint, and Rene Ricard bought it. I think I got 50 bucks from that, so I was happy.”

BASEBALL COMING BACK TO SI?
I know this isn’t Tribeca, but it’s still the closest baseball to us: The City reports that the (real) city is in discussions with the Atlantic League — “a quirky eight-team league that signs former pros” — to revive the Staten Island minor league stadium that the Yankee farm team used to occupy. The stadium has been empty for a year and a half. The goal is to have something in place for the 2022 season.

67 VESTRY’S PROGRESS UP HIGH
Yimby got some good shots of the top floors of 67 Vestry, which has a setback so it’s good to have the big lens to check it out. They seem to think it will be done by fall 2022.
