••• I haven’t been able to substantiate this, but Jodi commented that women’s fashion brand Pookie & Sebastian is opening a store in the former Adeline Adeline space at 147 Reade. The P&S site doesn’t have an about page or store locator, but Yelp says there are shops on the Upper East Side and in Midtown East and Murray Hill.

••• D. emailed about the woman who has been living on Murray between Greenwich and West Street.

This is way out of my wheelhouse, but I suggested calling the New York City Rescue Mission on Lafayette. I don’t know if she’d go but they might know how to talk to her. (D. said they were a bit overwhelmed with this cold, and they said to try calling 911. D. also called 311, which directed the call to the Department of Homeless Services.)  Also, somewhat relatedly, the NYPD 1st Precinct is collecting coats for donation.

••• Last night, 1 World Trade Center was lighting up on some middle floor—the light went from purple to blue and back again. It reminded me of the TV being installed of the window of the new nail salon on Chambers. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.

••• Also last night, I went to the Harrison for dinner. (I’ll miss sitting at that bar!) I ordered the carrot appetizer, which is $14. If I had been at a shared small plates restaurant (Little Park, Telepan Local, et al), I probably would’ve thought it expensive, because I wouldn’t have had more than a few pieces of carrot. But since I had the whole thing—it wasn’t that big, but it was enough carrots for one night—I didn’t mind the price. And I think that gets to the root, so to speak, of the small-plates problem.

••• The storefront at the 257 Church (southeast corner of Leonard Franklin), where James Perse is opening a store, is looking good.

••• In case you missed this update: A reader has it on good authority that Bikram Yoga NYC pulled out of the space at 158 Duane. Anyone know if they’ve found somewhere else in the area? UPDATE: Bikram Yoga NYC co-owner Jen Lobo Plamondon says the 158 Duane plans are still on! “We have had to re-route some mechanical plans which has set us back many months but there has certainly not been any change in our lease. We had high hopes of opening by January but it is probably looking like Spring at this point.”

••• The Who’s Onboard at the World Trade Center Mall post has been updated to reflect all the recent news.

••• Press release: “The next Pen Parentis Literary Salon is Tuesday, December 9, at the Hotel Andaz at 75 Wall Street. The night kicks off at 7:00 p.m., and admission is free.

••• A couple of people have asked about the oculus and Oculus. The Fulton Center has an oculus (“a circular opening in the center of a dome or in a wall“) but when people talk about the Oculus—in the context oft he World Trade Center—they mean the Calatrava armadillo. No retail has been announced for the Fulton Center yet.
