Kardashians! New restaurants! Closings! Rumors! Julie Andrews! Justin Timberlake! In case you missed it, here’s what happened in Tribeca last month. As always: If you find this useful and/or and/or informative, please share it.
New Kid on the Block: Josephine
"We named Josephine after Napoleon's wife," says Angelina Herman. "She's a symbol of French tradition but she was modern for her time, too. She was a businesswoman." / 4 comments

TCQ&A: “Tribeca Needs a Good Chinese Restaurant”
Tania Anthony of Resale-Riches, an online consignment boutique, shows us around her Tribeca—including the discount stores she can't resist, who she goes to for jewelry repairs, and the "inconspicuous" restaurant she visits for special occasions. / 1 comment
Dancing for Yourself
"You sweat, you laugh, and you move," writes health and wellness coach Rebecca Sadek about the adult classes at Downtown Dance Factory. "What could be better than that?" / 3 comments
Foto Friday
This week: photos taken on Sixth Ave., in Washington Market Park; and on West, Church, White, Hudson, and Vestry Streets. One is potentially NSFW, although it's also art, so it's probably defensible.
Seen & Heard: Art, Art, Everywhere
Plus: Family-fitness coming to Reade (where else?); Lady Gaga's piano; Chanterelle; John Wesley Harding's Cabinet of Wonders; Peck Slip. / 1 comment
In the News: Christy Turlington Burns
Plus: The non-Nordstrom Nordstrom store; Capsouto Park; Mariah Carey; Olsen Twins; Capsouto Frères.
Pop-Up: Project No. 8
"It's basically an overview of all the things we really love," says Project No. 8 co-founder Brian Janusiak of the new pop-up shop on Duane.
