Bloomberg LP is taking 68,000 more square feet at its 120 Park Avenue address, the New York Post reported.

Although the media and financial organization is based at the Bloomberg Tower at 731 Lexington Avenue, the company leased 482,399 square feet, or 12 floors, at the 600,000-square-foot, 26-story Park Avenue office tower in 2011, as The Real Deal reported. [more]

Foxwoods Theatre

Broadway’s biggest venue, Foxwoods Theatre, has been sold to Britain’s biggest theater company for $60 million, the New York Times reported.

Ambassador Theater Group secured a long-term lease that — if renewed — extends through 2073, the company’s executives told the newspaper. The 1,932-seat theater, at 213 West 42nd Street, is now home to “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” Live Nation put Foxwoods on the market in December after operating for the building owner, nonprofit New 42nd Street. Ambassador bought the lease through one of its subsidiaries, Lyric Theater LLC, the Times reported. [more]

From the May issue: Legendary New York City newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin used to put out a year-end list of people who had wronged him.

Dubbed “People I’m Not Talking to Next Year,” the list, which ran in the 1960s, included people like “the big shot maitre d’ at the 21 Club” who didn’t let him in, and Pepe, a bar owner who was trying to extort Breslin with an inflated bar tab. [more]

Madison Square Garden may get a new lease on life from the Bloomberg administration – a permanent one.

The City Planning Commission will on Wednesday consider a proposal from commissioner Amanda Burden that could effectively turn a 15-year extension of MSG’s lease  into one with no expiration date, Capital New York reported. The proposal contains a loophole that allows MSG to remain atop Penn Station in perpetuity, if it comes to an agreement with the three railroads beneath it to make infrastructure improvements.
