WILLIAMSBURG— If their appearance on last month's CB1 agenda wasn't enough confirmation that Pies & Thighs is moving to Driggs at South 4th Street, Gothamist has the triple confirm: "A scrap of news is no replacement for pulled pork, but fervid fans of the defunct Williamsburg DIY barbecue joint Pies ‘n’ Thighs will have to take what they can get. It seems the owners are indeed moving forward with their new location on the corner South 4th Street and Driggs, and there will be another Community Board meeting next month." [Gothamist]

EAST VILLAGE— Rolling Stone notices the curious name of Elvis Costello's newest album—Momofuku: "Did Costello, who currently lives in New York, name his new release after the hottest restaurants in the city: chef David Chang’s Momofuku Noodle Bar, Momofuku Ssam Bar, and the new, impossible-to-get-into Momofuku Ko?...Costello’s reps weren’t immediately able to provide an answer, so I went straight to Chang...'We’ve heard he’s a fan of the restaurant, but I doubt he’d name his album after us,' says Chang. 'That would be too weird. It blows my mind. There’s just no way! He’s Elvis Costello, for Christ’s sake!'" [RS]

SOHO— Cutty had a little chat with Matt Abramcyk of the Beatrice Inn and learned that he and partner Paul Sevigny are going to open a new place inside the Puck Building: "According to Abramcyk, the multilevel 7,000-square-foot space used to be known as the Flywheel Room, and it’s filled with 30-foot-tall, 25-foot-wide steel wheels which were used as auxiliary power when the building contained printing presse."
