SCOOPY'S NOTEBOOK
Power lunch doesn’t satisfy: Hudson Square residents have tried just about everything to make it clear to City Council Speaker Chris Quinn that a three-district Department of Sanitation megagarage at Spring St.’s western end is unacceptable to them. Adding major muscle to their message, James Gandolfini lunched with Quinn at a Greenwich St. restaurant in Tribeca, where he lives, two weeks ago; as they broke bread together, the actor-turned-activist tried to impress on her how unfair neighbors feel the plan — which they say violates “fair share” — really is.
