HOBOKEN?The new W Hotel in Hoboken has long been seen as a potential gamechanger for the 'hood, but a Curbed tipster thinks it might miss its promised March 18 opening: "So I drive by this place every day, and they're apparently a month from opening. I call bullshit, given the mess of construction still going on." Well, it's a heck of a lot closer to opening than the W down by Ground Zero, so we'll give Jersey the edge in that regard.

CONEY ISLAND?The Municipal Art Society's ImagineConey project, a design charrette that has given us some of the most intensely bizarre Coney renderings yet, has been on display online and in the flesh, but tomorrow at MAS's Madison Avenue home, selected design professionals and Joe Schmoes will present their mindgrapes to the public. Check here for more info and to RSVP. [CurbedWire Inbox]
