After less than nine months in business, the ambitiously-designed sustainable seafood restaurant Harbour has gone down to Davy Jones. The publicist writes, "Yes, Harbour has closed. After much success but struggles due to their location, they have decided to close their doors." The location he's referring to is the forbidding far west end of Houston Street, which many critics predicted would ultimately scuttle Harbour, despite its sometimes excellent seafood and amusing nautical design. The place reportedly cost $3 million to open! more ›

The Gothamist Newsmap noted a report of a "possible armed man" around 1 p.m. at King and Varick Streets in downtown Manhattan.

We ended up going with "Thompson St." Other neighborhood choices that I liked: Orchard St., Vinegar Hill, Arsenal, Battersea, Dreamland (a subway stop in Boston), Little Tokyo, Sunset, Watts, South Side, Le Marais... and most obviously, Park Slope.
