“SKYWING TOWER” RUMORED FOR SOUTH TRIBECA—AND THEN NIXED
For a couple of days, we all clutched our pearls as the word was floated that this building was going to be built at 101 Murray. Then we found out it’s not—although what will end up there remains an open question.

ESCAPE THE COLD AND HAVE SOME SERIOUS FUN!
From Parent Child classes to Grade School gymnastics, The Little Gym of Tribeca is a place to build strong muscles and great memories. Come see for yourself at our open house on Saturday, March 8 (1:30-2:15 p.m for children under 3 years, 2:30-3:15 p.m. for children 3 to 12). Call to reserve your child’s spot at the open house! Our classes build strength and self-confidence through the practice of gymnastics fundamentals, and our instructors teach legitimate gymnastics, focusing on individual accomplishment rather than competition. Check out our Winter/Spring class schedule and call now to join! And of course we host awesome birthday parties and summer camps, too. 124 Hudson (at Beach/Ericsson), 212-941-9300. Sponsored.
