••• El Vez signage went up this morning. Last we heard, the opening is set for April—it’s a Mexican restaurant coming to the Conrad complex, next to Blue Smoke, if you’re late to the party. (Thanks for the pic, Tony!)

••• The City Hall R subway station is being renovated. Work includes: “Replacing platform slabs, edges, lighting, and track wall tiles; installing new ADA-compliant tactile warning strips; repairing and replacing street stairs and mezzanine-to-platform stairs.” (That mezzanine business is for other stations—five on the R line are getting the redo.)

••• 48 Vestry’s storefront (at the northeast corner of Hudson) is now available.

••• Which reminds me…. Anyone know what’s happening in the huge Hudson & Broad space one block up, at Hudson Vestry? The windows are papered. My first thought was a sales office for 443 Greenwich.

••• And that reminds me of this: “Is there any update on 443 Greenwich?” emailed K. “Seems like nothing is happening over there.” I could try calling the brokers, but I don’t expect an honest answer. Someone out there must know the dish.

••• And that brings to mind pizza (because pizza is always on my mind). The other day, I had lunch at American Flatbread Tribeca Hearth—am I the only person who calls it that?—and the sign in the vestibule reminded me that the restaurant does “Benefit Bakes” on Tuesdays—a different local non-profit receives $3 from every large pizza. A lovely idea.

••• An update on 87 Leonard: I hear that Ben Shaoul’s Magnum Real Estate Group is only the sponsor; the building is owned by Deutsche Bank. UPDATE: See charango’s comment for clarification on this point.
