A RIVAL FOR SUSHI YASUDA
Notices posted at 175 Franklin (next to Shinola) said a restaurant called Sushi Tatsu would be opening there, which was scary because of the three dismal-looking Sushi Tatsus in Brooklyn. Then the founders of this Sushi Tatsu handed out a letter explaining everything: It will be helmed by a chef from Sushi Yasuda and designed by a Pritzker Prize–winning architect, with a whiskey bar in the basement.

THE MOST EXCITING NEW BUILDING AROUND
If you haven’t made a pilgrimage to see the Spring Street Salt Shed yet, I’m going to have to insist. The netting is down, and all that’s left is the plywood fence.
