MUSEUM OF WOMEN COMING TO SOHO
Crain’s reports that a new “museum” dedicated to empowering women will open at 480 Broadway just south of Broome in the former Topshop. (I think this is a museum in the way the Museum of Ice Cream is a museum.) From Crain’s: “The Museum of Women inked a 25,000-square-foot lease at 480 Broadway, with plans to be there for one year, said landlord Gregory Kraut of KPG Funds. The attraction is expected to feature at least 14 interactive and immersive experiences, as well as a gift shop and a commissary that sells goods from women-owned vendors. It is scheduled to debut this summer across the ground, first and second floors of the building.”

Pete Wells reviews Mena, Victoria Blamey’s new restaurant in the Tribeca Gallery District (it’s on my list!) and raves: “Seasoned lightly with vadouvan, they create flavors that linger. This is one of Ms. Blamey’s skills, provoking tastes that play on the palate longer than you expect. There’s that classic dream about discovering that an apartment has a spare room nobody has ever noticed; Ms. Blamey finds new rooms within classic dishes. She enlarges them.”
