The Taco Bell Drawing Club That’s Right Downstairs

Upscale Italian cafeteria Vapiano, at the corner of University and 13th, has closed for a big makeover. We’ll see.

It’s back. The Holiday Market returns on November 18.

That was fast. Pie Face, at 4th and 13th, is already gone.

The sale of two units at Brack Capital Real Estate’s condominium conversion at 15 Union Square West may be set to shatter records for the sale of a single-family home on the square, the Corcoran Group’s Timothy Rothman told The Real Deal yesterday, since the new owner plans to combine them into one duplex spread. Rothman, a vice president at Corcoran on the Spiegelman team, represented a mystery foreign buyer in the deal for penthouse 11 and unit 10B at the building, which closed together yesterday for between $16 million and $17 million, he said, though he declined to give a specific price. The units were not on the market as a combination; their individual asking prices were $10.7 million and $6.5 million respectively. Rothman would not reveal the identity of the buyer due to a confidentiality agreement.

Soon to arrive on 4th Ave. between 12th and 13th Streets is Schmackary’s Cookies, which allegedly sells more types of freshly baked cookies that any other cookie store.
