1) Gowanus: Brownstoner brings news of a new possible performance space/club/music venue in Gowanus: "Workers have been clearing out the ground-floor space of a warehouse on DeGraw Street between 3rd and 4th avenues for the past few weeks, and DOB filings for the spot say it's going to be a 'drinking and dancing establishment.'...The inside of the building still looks pretty raw, so we're guessing this is at least a few months away from becoming a reality." [PLYWOOD]
2) Financial District: Huge, breaking FiDi news, from the tipline: "For your info, Zibetto, the expresso bar on 6th Ave in midtown, seems to be opening a location on Fulton St. near the corner of William St. downtown. I spoke to the guy there last Friday and he said it would open in a month." [PLYWOOD}
1) Williamsburg: New York Muffin is expanding into the vacant space next door. Writes in our BK correspondent: "Looks like it took over the store next door. I thought part of the point of the place was to stand around outside so I don't know if that'll change just because there's room to stand inside." [PLYWOOD]
2) Midtown: We already have ample evidence that spring is here, but here's just a little more. Rink Bar in the Rockefeller Center's ice skating rink has its tables set up and is putting the finishing touches on the outdoor bar and restaurant. [PLYWOOD]
3) Williamsburg: The signage for the upcoming Frankie's was spotted by two Eater tipsters. It's on Havemeyer right by the BQE and looks to be close to opening. NB: this place is neither connected to Frankies 457/Frankies Spuntino nor to Lil' Frankies in the East Village. [PLYWOOD]
