Dorie Greenspan's (http://www.doriegreenspan.com/) many fans will be happy to hear that she and her son Josh will be opening (in August?) retail cookie shops, each named Beurre & Sel, at city-owned market facilities - downtown at the Essex Street Market (120 Essex Street, at Delancey, http://www.essexstreetmarket.com/) and uptown at La Marqueta (Park Avenue, under the tracks, between 111 and 116th Streets, http://www.nycedc.com/project/la-marqueta).
La Marqueta was big, loud, vibrant in the 1950s and 60s - people visited to market and socialize under the continuous rumble of trains. The marketplace stayed in business but lost its appeal until a recent revival began to take shape. Love it or hate it, gentrification is making this happen.
Rhode Islanders, go take a look when you're in New York. Also visit Eataly (200 Fifth Avenue) and imagine how Federal Hill might improve its destination prospects as a food scene instead of a hookah bar let's-brawl location. www.eatalyny.com/
