WHERE SHOULD WE GO FOR DINNER?
I’ve long noticed that people click on “restaurants/bars” in the website’s list of sections—even though it’s not particularly helpful—and I can only assume they’re looking for listings. So now you have it: The Tribeca Citizen Restaurant Guide.

IN THE NEWS
••• 3/21 roundup: Park51 sues. Plus: BPC security guards reassigned; FiDi bracing for post–9/11 memorial boom; doll exhibit at downtown museum.

THE HIDEAWAY IS BACK
It’ll reopen by Saturday at the latest. The bar used the month of being closed as an opportunity to spruce things up. “We’re all workaholics here, and we needed something to do besides sitting around other bars,” said bar manager Gael Delahanty (right).
