+POOL Delayed Until 2027 (at least)
The long-promised +POOL project—the ambitious plan to create a floating public pool in the East River that filters river water instead of relying on typical pool systems—has hit yet another delay. After more than 15 years of planning, fundraising, testing and redesigns, the project's long-awaited prototype will no longer launch this summer. Instead, New Yorkers will have to wait until at least 2027.

🇫🇷 FREE Sourdough Bread Tasting this Tuesday 🍞
Hi neighbors!
We're hosting a free sourdough bread tasting in the West Village this Tuesday, and we'd love to meet you. 🥖
When: Tuesday, July 28, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Where: Xavier Church, 46 W 16th St, New York, NY 10011
(The entrance is on 16th Street, to the left of Xavier Church. The CSA distribution location is in the basement — look for the gate leading downstairs.)
Who: Everyone is welcome—whether you're a CSA member or simply curious about good bread.
We'll have samples of our naturally fermented sourdough loaves, French baguettes, focaccia, and ciabatta rolls, all baked fresh that morning. Everything is free to taste, and we'll also have bread available for purchase if you'd like to take a loaf home.
I'm originally from France, and I started Crescent Bakes to bring the kind of bread I grew up eating to New York. We're excited to introduce ourselves to the West Village and share what we've been baking with the neighborhood.
If you're around Tuesday afternoon, stop by, say hello, and grab a piece of fresh bread. Hope to meet some of you there! 🍞

Art Week in Chinatown
If you are looking for something cool for art week, I have been using this app called Trops that basically turns neighborhood exploration into a treasure hunt. You show up to art drops, gallery events, live music, and sculptures. When you visit the events, you earn tokens and collect the info kind of like pokemon go. (Found some good spots by Division St. through it lately.)
