  • https://www.wired.com/2000/12/a-millennial-mix-up/ "Talk to the folks at the Hilton Millenium — a swanky 58-story structure in New York City's financial district — and they're quick to admit that the unique spelling of the name has raised a few eyebrows. "'We get asked about it a lot,' said Evelyn Hall, who handles public relations for the luxury hotel. "The building's current name dates back to the early 1990s, she said, when the its former owner deliberately chose to spell 'Millenium' with a single 'n.' "At the time, he was well aware that the spelling was wrong, and that millennium should be written with two Ns, Hall said. However, he figured the small aberration in nomenclature would make the hotel stand out from the crowd." http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB867187592788190500 A few years ago, Peter Kalikow opened a hotel in downtown Manhattan and called it the Millenium because, he said, "it looked lousy with two n's." Mr. Kalikow went broke. The hotel was taken over by CDL Hotels International Ltd., which bought a second hotel uptown and named it the Millennium -- with two n's. This mixes up guests, but not because of spelling; they just can't remember whether they belong uptown or downtown. http://www.nytimes.com/1991/06/30/realestate/commercial-property-downtown-hotels-bond-vista-marriott-now-comes-the-millenium.html "Mr. Kalikow has also plotted an independent course orthographically, with his deliberate misspelling of 'millennium.' But he had his reasons. Spelled correctly in the hotel's logotype, which employs a condensed type face, the word was 'ugly' and illegible, he said. 'It looked like 'melon,' or something.' "There was an even more appealing reason. 'It aids us in absolutely locking it in as a trademark,' Mr. Kalikow said, with obvious relish. 'If someone opens a restaurant two blocks away and calls himself Millenium and spells it with one 'n,' he's dead meat.'" — James on In the News: Tribecan Seeks Three-Way

  • That's a great picture of the Morgan's Market corner. Funny, there's still a little iron fence at the lot line end of the raised sidewalk, but the current one isn't nearly as attractive or stately. — NV on In the News: Tribecan Seeks Three-Way

  • My thought was...well, it's clearly more than one story (it sticks up over the ceiling a bit)...so I guess if you're over one story (even just a smidge) ...that makes you two stories? — Will on Seen & Heard: Soho Furniture Store Moved to Tribeca

  • To clarify, 8 feet is the average height for low income and native TriBeCans. 9 foot plus is the average for us CarPetBaggers and High Income Whole Foods-shopping true Tribecans. Just saying. — Jim Smithers on Seen & Heard: Soho Furniture Store Moved to Tribeca
