••• As rumored, the building at the northwest corner of Broadway and Worth is indeed going condo. “The 165,000-square-foot building, at 335-337 Broadway and marketed as 93 Worth St., is expected to be fully vacant by the end of November. […] The developer plans to convert the 13-story property into 90 apartments and six penthouses as well as 10,000 square feet of commercial/retail space. […] Apartments will range from studios to four-bedrooms, according to Doron Zwickel, executive vice president of CORE, the brokerage retained as the sales and marketing agent for the project. Price, depending on the unit, will range from $1,250 per square foot to $2,000 per square foot.” Ambitious for Broadway, no? “The penthouses will have a private terrace. Amenities of the property will include a gym, children’s playroom, lounge and 3,845-square-foot rooftop.” —Crain’s

••• “Brushstroke, David Bouley’s Michelin-starred kaiseki restaurant in Tribeca, no longer offers a sub-$135 tasting for those who eat meat and fish, a de facto $50 price hike. Previously, Brushstroke offered a $75 vegetarian tasting, an $85 non-vegetarian tasting menu, and a $135 10-course menu. This month, the vegetarian menu is $10 pricier at $85, and the cheapest option for those who eat meat and fish is the $135 menu.” He says it’s still worth it. —The Price Hike, via Eater
